Re: [IRCA] Second Fabulous Asian AM in a Row

[cafe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Agreed! I did not get out to the (new)Beverage this AM
but opted for doing more window surfing with the
Eton E1 up against the Drake R8 and the hula-loop ALA100's

It most certainly revealed some weaknesses in my R8 antennas.

Hanging out the 7th floor window of our tower - with the Strait of Juan
de Fuca visible about 3 km away and a clear view to the NW of Neah Bay,
there were some phenomenal signals to be had... on the E1... once
again barefoot.

Audio included (but not limited to) 567 (JJ), 594(JJ), 621 (hammering 620!) 612(mix) 639(Fiji)
675(threshold), 702, 738(mix), 747(JJ), 756(threshold), 774(JJ), 
783(threshold), 792, 828(JJ), 846, 855 (buzz), 873, 963(Giant YL in RR), 972(KK), 1134, 1143, 1197, 1287, 1566...

I absolutely encourage those readers of this list that feel that they "cannot hear TP's from their location"
to actually get out there in their back yards with whatever radios they have... and try.

I met a local DXer last year who insisted over and over and over and over that he
could not possibly hear TP's or DU's from his "inland" location 5 miles away from
the Pacific!

I told him: "Get up at DAWN. Not 3AM. Not 5AM. But dawn. Sunrise. And
tune your radio to 747, 774 or 828 khz... or even 1566 khz..."

He did and called me later in the day astonished that he could hear
Russian on 279khz!
