Ultimately, that or another Kiwi WebSDR will be located at Masset in the Haida Gwaii - which is an awesome location for some great DX early warning data gathering. I’m looking forward to better radio conditions and a higher MUF - looking at 30 MHz of largely empty spectrum is depressing. Col

Nick, I got up early this morning for the action, and to see if I could hear reactivated PNG Bougainville on 6020 and 3325. Alas, MW was terrible, as you observed, and PNG was not active, unlike the previous morning :-( Walt Salmaniw On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 4:57 AM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > A ve

Of course, maybe, judging by your DX, I should have checked for India on 1566 That's pretty near antipodes DX isn't it? yes...very very close which makes me wonder if this is more of a 'normal' dawn enhanced antipodal occurrence and less to do with the grayline as their sunset was almost

Some years ago, I did an article for QEX on being able to use overseas MW stations as possible indicators of enhancement on 160m Steve. I think you may have helped prove the point, and Bob Brown would have immortalized your contact in an article if he was still going strong. That's pretty n

Again, not a good morning, but there was a sunrise enhancement, just not spectacular, and almost all upper band. Listened around 1440UT, 1515UT and after 1530UT, and am beginning to get a deeper appreciation of the variety of electrical noises on offer these mornings, at least three different
