Re: [IRCA] TP 20 Aug Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

I thought there might be a list of abbreviation at ircaonline.org 
(the IRCA's website), Gary,  but it appeared to be, um, 
offline.  When it came back, I couldn't find any list of 
abbreviations....does anyone know if there is one?

quick translation of the below.

unique to DXing groups:
DU = Down Under  ....Australia, New Zealand, Pacific islands
EE =  English

a search engine will help here:
ABC = Australian Broadcasting Corporation
NHK2 =  second network of Japan's national broadcasting company

The "K" index....a measure of the sun's influence on the earth's 
ionosphere, a whole other can of worms...

best wishes,

Nick
