Re: [IRCA] S. AZ TPs, Oct. 1

[Nicholas Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for posting the photo Gary-san (hi).   As you can see...quite a lot
of daylight still.  Just amazing reception in my book.

It's still pretty subtropical here right now, though there is a story about
sheltering from a typhoon at Taitosaki, so the weather is not always benign
at this time of year.

Satoshi-san and I looked south from Taitosaki, and compared it with the
Rockwork view....http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/4irca/IMG_9533a.jpg

You will note that the Pacific Ocean is on the "wrong side" of the photo,
at least by American standards hi.   It seems to be a very worthwhile
modification in my opinion, at least where DX is concerned.

For example....at 0800UT  6 pips on 870kHz and "Nacional Informa" by man
...uh, uh.   Argentina (thank you Mina-san for the heads up).   I have not
heard Argentina from Victoria...one needs to go further away apparently.

best wishes,

Nick
