RE: [HCDX] Grayland (North) report 1 OCT 15, 2004

["Guy Atkins" <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Colin, you were right. Thanks for your comments on the Victoria receptions.
Friday AM was a VERY good morning at Grayland, primarily with superb
reception from Asia. We could hardly keep up with DX, and it lasted late
into the morning. JOQR Tokyo on 1134 was in decent audio past 10:20 AM (PDT)
(1720 UTC), and the carrier didn't drop below the noise until 12 Noon (1900
UTC!). (I had a recorder running to check the het after we awoke from our
midday snooze.) 1900 UTC is 4-1/2 hours past local sunrise!

The other two nights were quite worthwhile in their own right. Bruce and
Chuck had a number of Vietnam stations past sunrise while the rest of us
needed to get a start on equipment packing. I wish we could have stayed
longer! A full report of my loggings to follow... perhaps tomorrow morning
as I have an evening commitment tonight.

There will be a compiled group logging available on dxing.info and
elsewhere, after Chuck Hutton finishes the compilation.

73,

Guy

Subject: [HCDX] Grayland (North) report 1 OCT 15, 2004


I have been assigned the task of monitoring the MW
band at sunrise from the Southern tip of Vancouver
Island while the 'guys at Grayland' are doing their
thing (Oct 15-16-17). Here is my initial report.

I was up today from 1330UTC on and found the
conditions to be slightly above average
on Northerly paths to Japan and Korea.

Regulars like 747, 774 and 828Khz Syncro NHK
were S9+ on the Kenwood R2000 w/ coupled 4' Loop
for the duration through sunrise. S. Korea
on 972 was easily heard past 1405 with KK News.
It had no trouble in the shadow on the 980khz
Vancouver B.C. powerhouse. There were lots of
big hets, some yielding hazy audio; 738khz, 783khz,
837khz, 873khz, 945khz, 1053khz, 1188khz and
a very fady 1575khz..

I am thinking that this was a 'very good' morning
at Grayland..
