You're only 1000 miles away from the DX... On the west coast, we are shooting for stuff that is 4-6 times the distance and 1/10th the power. Or in other words: why am I not there!? :-) Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria - BC > On Nov 6, 2016, at 1:11 PM, Walter Salmaniw

Several Asian big guns came back with audio this morning but conditions still were far from desirable. As Richard, Steve and Craig have reported 1566-HLAZ was the main performer (and the strongest of the bunch here as well), with good audio peaks in and out from 1330-1415. The Japanese and

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-6

Mark, to be honest, I've never looked for Latins from Masset. I suspect, though, that I'd have a really tough time with the lower 48 and BC/Alberta to contend with before I could reach anything in Latin or South America. Walt On Sun, Nov 8, 2015 at 4:48 AM, Mark Connelly via IRCA <

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-6

Mark touches on something very dear to my heart that I have been thinking about a lot lately: A.) it has been decades since I have enjoyed occasional reception from Central and South America from Victoria B.C. With far less sophisticated receivers and antennas. Why is that? (And I am likely

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-6

Between the Spring of 1975 and the fall of 1976, I heard most of the countries in Central America, a few in South America and a dozen or so countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East... On a DX150B and some random wire antennas that actually passed over a 220V home power line. On medium

Asian signals never really got out of the noise here this morning as the solar shenanigans once again resulted in a clunker session. There were moderate carriers on 594, 693 and 1323 around 1420 and occasional fair audio from  738-Tahiti a few minutes later, but overall the session was a lurch

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-6

Good thing because I never got passed the roll over and look at the clock stage around 1400 UTC - Last night there was no high level propagation to Alaska and only the weakest of hets on 738 kHz While on topic - for those of you that hearken back to REGEN receivers (We have all used one...)

Hello All,   Asian signals improved dramatically over yesterday's mediocre session, with an exceptional signal from 594-JOAK early on around 1415. The Korean big guns on 972, 1053 and 1566 also came back from yesterday's slump, while 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang made fair appearances for a

Hello All, Richard and Nigel accurately described the general drop off in Asian signal quality this morning, even for this west coast location. The band started off in a fairly promising state around 1300 with good audio from both the Japanese and Korean big guns (on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828

Hello All, Yesterday morning's superb TP conditions continued right up through the Asian sunset period this early morning (0930-1050), but they seemed to fall off of a cliff sometime before this morning's west coast sunrise. During the Asian sunset many huge signals were in and out from

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-6: Victoria snippet

Happened to turn on the radio after returning from an overnight delivery. Just before 13:00, the band was quite alive with lots of the first tier stations present with good audio, especially the Japanese NHK1 and NHK2 stations. 891 was also very strong, but I didn't wait around long enough to ID

Hello All, Against better judgement two TP-chasing sessions were conducted here this morning, with the first from 0930-1015 during the Asian sunset, and then from 1300-1510 during the West Coast sunrise. Both sessions had excellent Asian propagation, even though only the barefoot SWP
