Re: [IRCA] AM BCB DX….12 NEW Stns - Huge Auroral Conditions!!

Great catches! I've been reading about everybodys experience with this auroral cx. I remember we toured KIRO 710 studio during the 2002 IRCA Convention. The manager seemed very DXer friendly and showed us a binder containing all the reception reports he had received.   ms

Subject: [IRCA] AM BCB DX….12 NEW Stns - Huge Auroral Conditions!!

Hi Guys:


 More Great Conditions on the AM-BCB this past week including a Nice Auroral Opening last night, and this morning. This report also has some good Western Conditions including only my 2nd Log from Washington State. I made about 20 Recordings on the 1/2 Hour during the Aurora Opening and I have only checked a couple of those Recordings, so there are sure to be plenty more good catches from that Opening!! This Fall Season has been very productive for AM BCB DX!!

RECEIVER…………………ELAD FDM-S2 SDR

ANTENNA………………..WELLBROOK ALA-1530LNP Imperium Loop

AM LOG TOTALS are now……………..  1,938 Stations heard
