Re: [IRCA] West Michigan DX log 9/5/2011

Tim, it seems like you may have had ABC 702 from Sydney. If you get threshold audio again, you may want to check their webstream !  738 Grafton is // although they may mix with Tahiti and create a SAH of about 1.7 hz. Hmm..seems like WRPQ had day power on early...so many abusers lately. My guess would be that all your hets (off the back of your TA BOGs I assume) were of DU origin. 

This is a good time of the year for DU's into the midwest and Lake Michigan should help you..ie your QTH may be better than any of mine on the IL/WI side of the lake.

I am back to my WI place for DX tomorrow night and will stay thru Weds if good.  73 KAZ
