Re: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

For NL, way back after CBL went off when there was no Toronto station I got 740 in IL once. From WI which is much better towards the ENE than here in IL 750 using Phased BOGs comes in sometimes. //990 has shown up a couple times. 1140 CBI once. Cx that bring them in typically are also good for

Keep at it Rob, you're gaining exponentially on us old-schoolers with your SDR... Tim is in west Michigan, so is WBCH (Hastings, 1220). What's the story there, Tim? I have not heard it either. It's on my target list. Rob, have you? I'm curious. Mind you, I never heard 600 CBC LPRT in Bancroft ON

Re: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

For NL: 740 sometimes audible u/CBL here... Also CBC on 540, 640, 990 though no CBCs in many years. For NS - Barry MCLarnon's site lists five. 1140 may be your best bet (I have not aimed east in two years, LOL!). I have yet to hear 1350, 1420, 1450. Have only heard 1270 once, though it was loud

Re: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

Congrats Tim! Glad to see you've hit 2000! Glad to read of your great successes using the antenna systems I suggest. I don't keep and exact count here and also don't count call changes but a several years ago and pre Perseus use an informal count had me slightly above 2000. I had the benefits of

Re: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

Congratulations on the accomplishment Tim. I hit the #2000 mark last year, but it took me a lot longer. The Perseus has certainly helped me push up the total too. I hate to be negative, but I don't like your chances on AK at the moment. Even here in Alberta I have yet to hear Alaska

Re: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

Thanks Saul, This may require me to setup a temporary BOG or loop outside aimed directly at DE to cross this state off my list since neither antenna favor this bearing at all. Rhode Island? Only one in the logbook and it's 630 WPRO. Canadian provinces still needed: all the hard ones!

Marc, thanks for the tip. I think 1150 and 1410 are probably my best bets.. 73, -Tim On Wed, Dec 28, 2016 at 6:04 PM, Marc DeLorenzo via IRCA < irca@hard-core-dx.com> wrote: > > -- Forwarded message -- > From: Marc DeLorenzo > To: irca@hard-core-dx.com >

Congratulations on reaching this milestone in such a short period of time! I’ve been MW DXing for over a decade, and haven’t come close to your success. It proves the old adage that nothing beats “time between the headphones.” Like many, I put too much emphasis on the technology. Always

A public thanks to you, Tim, for answering all my questions on getting started in MW DXing. And congrats on reaching that milestone! I've got a ways to go to get to 2000, that's for sure. I could probably get a pretty good start if I just made the time to listen to all the ELAD recordings I

It was close, but I managed to hit my target of reaching MW station #2000 logged (no call changes) before the New Year. Station #2000 turned out to be KKAN 1490 from Phillipsburg, KS, heard at UTC on the 31st. The first new one of 2016 turned out to be another graveyarder, 1230
