Re: [IRCA] TPs July 20 from Orcas Island: Average to Good

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello John,
 
     Like Walt, I didn't really get back into TP DXing  until last year, so 
don't have much reference for judging the strength of the  Kiwis.
 
     Recently during several short trips  to Grayland, however,  I was 
surprised at how the 567 and 657  Kiwis would almost always show up with weak audio, 
even on the miserable  mornings when the Aussies were only weak carriers.  
During seven  short trips, there was only one morning that the 567 and 657 Kiwis 
didn't  show up with some kind of audio on the hot-rodded 2010's (the morning 
with  Guy). The propagation for the Aussies and Kiwis seemed quite different 
at  times.
 
     On the other hand, on the great mornings like July  9th, the Kiwis never 
really boomed in like the Aussies did.  That's  probably the reason why they 
never could be heard on stock Ultralights like the  SRF-T615, or the modified 
SRF-39FP.  Only the modified 2010's and modified  E100 have been able to 
receive them as stand-alone portables.
 
                                                                              
                73,  Gary      .
