Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/3/16



Other than a couple of Argentinian X-banders heard before the US band filled up the only country I've heard from mainland South America is Colombia. Like Kaz I find 1170 the most common, but have also heard 810, 680, and 1000 in the last year or two. None of those appear to be on ideal frequencies from a Victoria point of view. No luck here on Venezuala yet, and not through lack of trying. Have had tentative on 750, but that's as close as it's come.

Basically every mile you head west from the east coast in the US makes S.
Am. harder to log. Here in IL my south DKAZ can usually dig up HJNW 1170
every night but that is the only regular. Perhaps KFAQ could be looped from
Perry OK?  1100 Barranquilla can be had in AU and once in a while 760. The
deeper Colombians like 810 are quite rare. 1090 Blu Radio from Cartegena
has shown up a few times the past year in severe AU.

Caracas on 750 is the best YV bet behind WSB at times. Coro 780 gets out
well and you won't have the WBBM issues I do. Try at sunset or even earlier
to hope to reduce Mexican QRM.
1110 Carupano can be heard but is rare. 910 can have the YV's Rumbos chimes
sometimes in AU.

PJB on 800 khz almost counts as a domestic! :-)

They used to come in, during the 80's, at such goofy levels you would swear
they were a domestic.

And, of course, Cuba is a no brainer on medium wave (530 khz) which also (I
think) has Turks and Caicos on it -
that is, at times, in Victoria B.C. Canada car radio level on the west
coast.

Yea, so I guess there is more to choose from when hunting international
stations within the continents.

I didn't respond earlier as I have no good sense of what the QRM might
be.
Colombia should be available on 810 as mentioned, also 650 and 690.
Venezuela is probably best on 750, but also 770 and 780. Those would
probably be the easiest SA countries from Oklahoma. Another option would
be
PJB-800 which also counts as SA.
