Re: [IRCA] 25 June from Orcas Island: Best of the Season (so far!)

[Walter Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

John, your message is very useful for me with Perseus.  Without it, I'm quite blind (due to the problem you noted on Guy's blog with the screen not following the Span when it's reduced.  Ughhh!  No one has responded on the Perseus group when I posted this problem, either.  It is a MAJOR drawback, unfortunately.  What it means is that I have to manually look at each frequency.....very user unfriendly.  What I can do now is to check each of those frequencies around the same time and see what Perseus heard.  Will report back later!  .......Walt.

>Was an excellent Low Band morning for me. I listened from 1150 until 1230, with sunrise about 1220. From tune in (774@7+ when I turned the radio on) until 1211, it was ALL Aussie, without even much NZ in the way of hets. From 1211 until 1220, there was a short, sharp peak for NZ, with 675 and 756 briefly being legit 8s and wisps of audio from 855 (Rhema Hamilton?), 963 (Christchurch) 1098 under Marshalls carrier (Christchurch?). Late, the Aussies were back, with 612 being an 8 at 1227.  Actually, 612 was the star of the show, being at 7 level or more almost every time that I cranked by.

>Walter, you are right, between 1210 and 1215 or so, National Radio NZ was playing "EZ listening mx."  It was a female saloon jazz singer. I had them 756//the synchros on 837//675.

>Walter, even if it takes you until the weekend, I hope that you can compare the above to your Perseus file. We'd both like to know how our systems compare for DUs and I'd like to know how much I missed by not using Perseus - my guess is that I missed maybe 20% or less of the audio, but had we been at the Coast under these cx, I'd probably miss 2/3.... just too much to cover live????
