[IRCA] TP for 6 Sep2011: DU all the way

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning.  Slept in a wee bit today, so didn't get to the dials until
13:19 UTC.  Yesterday I erected a very modest Pennant antenna aimed 305
degrees, more or less across Japan.  The results were very encouraging.  It
seemed to have outperformed the W large diameter loop, as well as the N/S
oriented ALA 100 large diameter loop too.  Unfortunately, it's strictly a
temporary affair as it can stay where it is for long.  Also built a couple
of 16:1 matching transformers for them yesterday (the previous day I made a
couple of 9:1 by accident, but will be fine for Beverages).  Conditions this
morning were decidedly DU.  I listened between 13:19 and 13:33.  SF was 119,
A 5, and K index was?  couldn't hear that on WWVH).  Moderate black outs
were reported, so DU seems appropriate.  As always, "6" unless otherwise
noted.  Interesting that only the lower half of the band had anything, save
for 1566 which was just at threshold.

612:  8 level Brisbane
675:  DU at 7 level  ?RNZ National, Christchurch?
702:  2BL Sydney at 7.5 level, //612
738:  7.5 level for RFO Tahiti
756
774:  The only JJ station heard today at 8 level
792:  7 level 4RN Brisbane
819, 828
837:  7 level  DU...either Australia or NZ
855, 332, 927, 936, 1566

73s until tomorrow!  ........Walt
