Yesturday I was very tired, so immediatly after I
finnished my report, I did go to sleep, I was so tried that I did not even
bother to sent my message twice like I should (once to the HCDX, MWDX and NRC
lists and the second time to the DX'ers and friends I'm in touch with, as to
save space and time for those who read my logs in Hard-Core DX et al). I also
forgot to make a few comments on my logs.
I was very happy with my tentative catche of WKOX
on 1200, especially considering the Ottawan powerhouse on the same channel and
the (unID) NOS domestic that were both underneath the assumed WKOX and that
gaine dtoo much dominance as the tropical song followed the Spanish pop
one.
I also tried to get the RNE Radio Cinco synchros
out of Spain on 1314 kHz, but could only get splatter, mostly from CKEC-1320 and
also a little bit from a mess of stations on 1310 (the strongest of them was
CIWW). On the low-band aside from my presumed logging of WZON, the only other
interesting thing was hearing English talk under CHAM, on 820. This was possibly
WBAP in Fort Warth, TX as previously logging with the same receptions conditions
(u/ CHAM), but maybe something else; maybe a low-power domestic ? I say that,
because KMOX was extremely poor on 1120 and could only be heard with WPRX nulled
out. I usually get remains of nulled KMOX throught WPRX during average condx to
the west !
I tried to get CFDR on 780, but only heard a very,
very poor WBBM with local CJAD nulled. I also tried for CKOD-1350, but
could only get an ESPN domestic in and out. I could not even hear CIGO-1410 wich
was audible in a hospital were I was in February wich had concrete cils and not
even window to the east in the room I was. Still condx toward the Canadian
Maritimes were a bit above average, since CKEC-NS and CKBC-NB were both easily
heard. There are not too many stations in the Canadian Maritimes on the AM band,
at least compared to the state of Maine wich is in the same bearing as Canada. I
will chase WZON tonight as well and I hope to get WLAM on 870 as well
soon.
Well, that's it for now !
Before I left, I'd only like to know how far west
1360 CKBC in Bathurst, NB is audible. I know they are fairly commun in Europe,
but I'd like to know if they are possible for those living on the west coast,
like Patrick Martin. It's not the best time of the year for really long-haul MW
DX, but I'd really like if Patrick could try for CKBC around his local sunset,
unless you have a very strong station on this channel. Maybe you'll have a
surprise, who knows ?
73 and good DX,
Bogdan
