Re: [IRCA] [CapeDX] Last night for the twin Lubec, Maine KiwiSDR

--- Begin Message --- 
 Bill, I've enjoyed the Maine KiwiSDR's. Those DKAZ antennas do a better job of throttling down the Boston and NYC (and I-95 corridor in general) pests than my SuperLoop does here SW of you. You do seem to have more Lakes area "pestage" there though with Buffalo, Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago packing more punch on your end.

Being farther east and in immediate proximity to the ocean gives you more TA's in the 2-4 p.m. EST (1900-2100 UTC) slot than I have here. Things get more similar after about 2130 UTC. I notice the same thing at sites as close to here as Chatham, Orleans, and Eastham, MA. Right on the water makes a huge difference in that most useful low-interference pre-sunset period.

I get more Puerto Rico, Cuba, and FL here - no surprise about that.

On 15 NOV I ran 1000 and 1100 UTC captures.

Not ONE HINT of TP DX. I definitely need to try a different antenna.

The snow we had last night melted during the day.

Bill, is there a website of your latest DXpedition logs? It might make a nice compliment to the recent PEI and NJ coast outings. I'm looking forward to whatever the Newfie crew logs. Locally Roy Barstow has been hauling in the goodies at Cape Cod beach sites. On NRC Facebook Allen Willie (NL) and Sylvain Naud (QC) have posted quite a bit about TA DX.

I'm sitting on a bunch of captures and audio clips, just need to find the time to bang up a report. Also I can relay some of Roy's notes from time to time.

Subject: [CapeDX] Last night for the twin Lubec, Maine KiwiSDR

   Tonight is the final night of my DXpedition to Lubec, Maine.
The Lubec Bay Cottage KiwiSDR will go down after 6am tomorrow AM:
http://lbc.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/
and the Quoddy House KiwiSDR will change antenna to a ~1000ft. BOG in a yet-to-be-determined direction:
http://qhkiwisdr.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/
It will remain up, with some luck, until mid-May, 2019 when the rental season begins again.
Enjoy âem while they last!
Oh, the Lubec Bay Cottage Kiwi is on a 160â DKAZ at ~ 80 deg. and the one at Quoddy House is on a 160â DKAZ at 35 deg.
The one at Quoddy House is a bit of a TP catcher. ÂHere is an email I sent this morning to the IRCA list:

Quoddy House, Lubec, Maine - November 16, 2018

Korea on 972 was again the most steady of the TPs heard after 0900utc here in a snowy Lubec, Maine this morning. ÂStar of the morning though was 1089-China doing very well against WBAL on 1090.

Signals seemed best from straight over the pole to China and Korea rather than Japan.

Here, in no particular order are some sound samples:

Japan on 1287 @ 0931utc
http://realmonitor.com/QH12/181116/1287-0931-Nov16.wav

Japan on 774 @ 1018utc
http://realmonitor.com/QH12/181116/774-1018-Nov16.wav

Korea on 1566 @ 1018utc
http://realmonitor.com/QH12/181116/1566-1018-Nov16.wav

Korea on 972 @ 1020 and 1021utc
http://realmonitor.com/QH12/181116/972-1020-Nov16.wav
http://realmonitor.com/QH12/181116/972-1021-Nov16.wav

China on 1089 @ 0954 and 1015utc
http://realmonitor.com/QH12/181116/1089-0954-Nov16.wav
http://realmonitor.com/QH12/181116/1089-1015-Nov16.wav

I wrote down several other frequencies with possible audio during a 1030utc scan - 963, 1017, 1098, 1188 and 1215. ÂTP DXers will recognize those as either China or Korea frequencies. ÂWeâll see what further listening will provide.

For reference, the previous 10 days of geomag indices can be viewed on a running graph I keep:

http://tivodxer.com/jpgraph_example3b_multi_y_axis.php

Note A and K indices have fallen way down and Dst has gone up above zero. ÂAll are âgood thingsâ to trans polar DXers.
