[IRCA] AM BCB DX……… 3 NEW Stations Heard…..

[Robert Ross <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys:

Here is my Report for the last week. I didn't have a lot of time to review recordings this week as we were Dismantling my 50 Radio Tower and the FM/TV/HAM Antennas that were on top of it. I have decided to mount these Antennas on Poles near the Back Deck, where they are more accessible for Maintenance. I'm getting too Old to deal with Antennas up 50-70 Feet in the air!!

3 New Stations logged this time around,  and a few NEW CALL Logs as well.  Conditions seemed to favour the EAST/WEST, with the SOUTH not doing as well.

My Wellbrook Loop was already mounted low to the Ground on the Back Deck…so it was not affected by the Antenna Moves……...

RECEIVER is………… ELAD FDM-S2 SDR

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

AM BCB TOTALS are now………………     2,065   Stations Heard

73……ROB VA3SW
