Re: [IRCA] TP Carriers this A.M. in N. Alabama ??
Nothing TP here this season except once a bare trace of a barely detectable
747 carrier. 774 is ruined here by WBBM.
On the DU front..trace audio from Tahiti 738 with a gal in FF a couple weeks
ago and also a SAH on channel (do they make one with Aussie?) and a decent
702 Aussie carrier but not enough oomph for audio.
73 KAZ Barrington IL..Phased BOG Systems aimed at the DX mentioned here.

Subject: [IRCA] TP Carriers this A.M. in N. Alabama ??
With the amazing TA activity that's been cropping up in recent days, I
thought I'd start checking to see if any TP activity could be detected at
my QTH here in North Alabama.
Even thought this would be more difficult, I believe that TP reception
here is possible, especially due to the fact that one of the big gun
Japanese stations was heard by several DXers in the Central and Eastern
U.S. last year.
I did a scan of frequencies at around 1130 UTC this morning for the higher
powered East Asians, and did note a moderate carrier on 747, as well as a
weak-but-steady carrier on 774. Although there's no way to tell if this
was Japan or even something Trans-Pacific, this certainly bears watching.
I would encourage all DXers - especially those in the Central and Eastern
U.S. - to start checking for TPs (and TAs), and post their results here,
on the DXtips listserver, or log onto the MWDX chat room to post results
real-time.
Regarding the latter, that chatroom has been amazingly dead, even wiith
the band hopping with TAs ....
