Hello All, After last night's TA action, everyone was probably hoping for a legendary TP opening-- but it certainly fell far short of that. Even without the legendary opening, conditions here (on the 9' box loop) seemed fairly good, despite the lackluster reports from Walt and Dennis. 756-CNR1 was strong enough for a nice Chinese ID at 1400, which was Ultralight TP logging #97 here. It was mixing with the KBS co-channel around 1405, but neither station was at very strong levels. Like Walt reported, this 756-CNR1 station seems to be undermodulated, having a large carrier but puny audio. 1107 had audio from a TP for the first time here, but it was too weak to ID the language. 1134 had the KBS station again, not the Chinese as reported by Dennis. Many of the other frequencies had TP's at weaker than normal levels, but in general the band had its interesting moments. The new 9' box loop has received 5 new Ultralight TP's in 5 days, plus numerous UnID Chinese stations. I need to think up a sneaky way to take one of these monsters to Grayland :-) 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP (7.5" Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 9' (side) PVC-frame tuned passive loop (in back yard, as far as possible from the neighbor) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
