Hello To All
Conditions last evening showed a slight increase in better propagation as the K Index lingered at 2 . Another strong performance from many Europeans. No new stations were added to the ULR log this night. After almost two weeks at this new location, a few observations are apparent regarding propagation and reception here. Of course, the 70 mile move away from the city has rendered a number of new stations heard ,some of which were drowned out by the powerful locals back in St. John’s The Bermuda outlet on 1160 has now been heard twice on ULR here . In 9 years in St. John’s , Bermuda had only been heard once or twice and that was using a larger size rig. Also the outlets heard from Romania this past while were almost non existent from the city. Overall with the practically RFI free environment , signals strengths of most stations have been markedly increased as well . The Trans-Atlantic signals also tend to stay in much later into the evening . Domestic stations from Canada and the United States are pretty well non-existant in numbers early on and then begin to appear towards the wee hours until dawn. We are looking forward to the upcoming summer season and planning to erect an antenna setup on the property for our much larger radio rigs. 549-ALGERIA-Alger Chaine 1 ,Les Trembles 00:06UT/14 man in Arabic talk (fair) 675-NETHERLANDS-R.
