Re: [IRCA] [CapeDX] QH12 DXpedition - November 10 - 17



--- Begin Message ---
 Thanks Bill for the results from the most recent Maine DXpedition. I think, on the TP front, you've outdone anyone else in the 6-state New England area this autumn.

No TP audio here yet, just waterfall lines at 747 and 774. 972 is doomed with Portland on 970 on a not-a-heck-of-a-lot-different bearing. 1566 is no picnic either with big adjacent sloppers.

Your report + Bruce's PEI write-up + the NJ shore (LBI) info are certainly the go-to documents for this season's East Coast DXing. Also there have been a number of solo efforts including Roy Barstow's beach trips here on Cape Cod. I'm thinking of consolidating all the reports into a zip file to be shared,

The Newfoundland DXpedition full recap isn't in yet. Jim Renfrew had offered a few comments. While we're waiting for that, you can read Allen Willie's notes (also in NL) from 12 NOV pasted below.

Subject: [CapeDX] QH12 DXpedition - November 10 - 17

   From November 10 - 17 I was in Lubec, Maine for the QH12 DXpedition, named after
the place I stay - Quoddy House.

I had three DKAZ antennas up during most of the week - one at 115 deg. for
LatAm/Africa, one at 35 deg. for Europe and beyond and one at a nearby location,
Lubec Bay Cottage, at 80 deg. for whatever I could catch. All used Vactrol
termination.

I use Perseus receivers and have gotten far enough into wav file review to give
a picture of what was heard:

http://realmonitor.com/am_logs_qh12.php

The highlite was some of the best TP reception I've had at QH with many carriers
and audio on 747, 774, 945, 972, 1089, 1098 [Marshall Is.],1206, 1287 and 1566
kHz.

For those unfamiliar, I don't keep a written log. The webpage above IS my log.
Every 'logging' is an audio sample. The table presented is sorted by frequency
along the left side with column headings on the right corresponding to the
antenna, date and hour of the log. You can click on the round play button to
hear the corresponding sound sample.

In the heading area of the webpage there are links to âsummary statsâ, a map of 
my loggings, geomagnetic conditions during the week and a âquick tourâ of the shack
and antenna.

Enjoy!
