Re: [IRCA] TP Reception from Victoria, BC for 12 Sept 2016

["R. Colin Newell" <coffeecanuck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Walt likely picked the weakest day of the previous 5 days.

I, too, got up around 12:50 for around 10 minutes and the band was clearly
sleepier
than I was. Oddly 1287 was rocking pretty solid as were the standard
suspects.

Most notable was low modulation English on 756 -- assuming Auckland.

There has been some new houses built within around 400' of my house
and apart from the occasional buzz, there has been no significant uptick in
noise.

Is there any other hobby that has such an awesome collection of older dudes
who serve in the public interest, often becoming ham radio operators to
serve their neighbours even more that are totally at the mercy of some
new neighbour moving in with a plasma TV or wireless over power interface
that completely trashes their efforts?

This is the most unique of hobbies.
