[IRCA] 535 Grenada now; TAs earlier



Presently listening to periodic fadeups of 535 Grenada, with weak to medium level at peak of fadeup. The live internet stream at http://www.spiceisle.com/main/streaming/wmedia/gbn/gbn.htm
is not sync'd up with the radio, but is close. Thanks to Colin Newell for the tip of last evening.
Nicely accented English spoken, ads with jingles, etc.
 
Earlier, some TA MW and LWBC heard. LWBC not as good as last evening, but MW reception much better tonight than last night.
My 4 hets on 1134, 1215, 1314 and 1575 along with LWBC hets beginning at 0137 utc eventually produced brief fadeups of poor audio on 189 at 0202 utc, 162 at 0208 utc, 1134 (Croatia) at 0222 utc, rising to weak/medium level for about a minute at 0224 utc. 198 had very poor audio at 0239 utc. 153 had very poor audio at 0300 utc; 1314 finally produced poor audio at 0303 utc, when I stopped listening until about 0500 utc. Croatia was the best of the pick for tonight.

R8B, AR7030, R75; longwires for LWBC and 535 Grenada, 130' NNE EWE for MW TA
(It's very interesting to compare the radios--AR7030 hears faint audio first, followed immediately or about the same time by R75, with somewhat stronger signals needed before R8B finally produces listenable audio. LWBC produces audio on a much weaker het compared to MW hets)
