Re: [IRCA] Strange TP/TA conditions in Manitoba



What a difference being 1000km closer to Japan and using Beverages makes. I only had my TA antennas laid out in WI but awoke early and checked for TP's and the only thing was a very weak het from 747.

Low band TA"s were quite good last night, with the most interesting being Ireland 549 with C&W and only, per they're veri -email 25 kW.

re: 1008..Canary Islands is also possible. Unfortunately I didn't note any SER Spanairds in at that time (action was low band) so I cannot say whether that net had a sports event.

Mid and high band only had the real regulars.

Long wave was decent here, but interesting that 189 Iceland was basically non existant early on, but was quite nice to listen to the rock mx from them about 0515.

Also on LW, I believe 177 Germany runs DRM til 0400 as is a mess of funny noise, and then they have analog and can be heard after 0400.

I'd love to hear more about your Beverages...direction, length , etc height above ground, terminated ?

Sounds like you have a superb set up and a nice rural QTH.. 73 KAZ

Saturday night/Sunday AM.

1008    21:55   Spanish, sounded like play by play.  assume Spain. New

Sunday AM
693   13:48   Japan  // 774  English & JJ so assume language lessons.

I say strange conditions in that both these are new stations but
almost nothing else on the MW band. in terms of TA/TPs. Next to
nothing else even in the way of hets.
No DUs.

Morocco booming in on 171 all evening.
