[IRCA] AM BCB DX…….AURORA PART 3

[Robert Ross <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys:

   Here is part 3 of my AURORA DX Report for the Time Period of Oct/25 to Oct/27. I am slowly working my way through the Recordings, and it seems every recording holds some nice DX. This Auroral opening was even better than it seemed at the time as I dig through the recordings and un-earth what was captured.

Mainly  Florida, Georgia and Caribbean in this report.

I still have lots of Recordings to review, so there should be a PART 4 and possibly a PART 5 to this Auroral Opening…….

RECEIVER………………..ELAD FDM-S2 SDR

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

AM DX TOTALS are now…………………1,966 Stations Heard

Not sure what's going on here or why WXJO Douglasville is using WDPC Dallas's
Sign Off. They don't appear to have Joint Ownership as far as I can determine???

But there are NO OTHER AM Stations in Georgia on 1120 Khz….so I am presuming 
this is WXJO I heard. Douglasville and Dallas are VERY Close to each other.
