Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Last Night's TAs

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There was some lower path activity here in IL before I quit around 0330 
utc...with some of your RNE's having decent carriers. The big carrier lousy 
modulation Algeria 891 was close to audible past WLS phase null. I need 
another day or two of non AU cx to get the TA's back here (noting my paths 
to most of them are over Labrador). Prior to the mild AU disturbance, I 
could tune thru the band it as I passed 1130 to 1140 it would often seem 
like 1134 was a another domestic as it could get up to the strength of 
1130/1140 (nothing super strong on those channels here using those 
antennas). If I aim BOGs NE for TA's they come in better, and if I go north 
to WI by Lake Mich, better still.

CX were interesting last night and showed slightly AU tendancies. I barely 
had a trace of AB on the NW Phased BOG System that nabbed me three new ones 
from Edmonton the week before. CX seemed good that direction right up to the 
US/Canadian border. ie...910 had Minot blasting in, but no trace of needed 
AB, and 960 had KFLN MT (day power at night as usual) in o/u KMA and no 
trace of CFAC pest. SK and MB weren't nearly as good or as prevalent as a 
week ago.
