Re: [IRCA] New DU heard in Michigan this morning!

Hi Tim, 
Congratulations on your reception of 1548-4QD this morning-- an amazing accomplishment in Michigan. 
 
<<<ÂÂ No other DUs noted here this morning and surprisingly nothing but a weak 
carrier from 738 Tahiti which has been decent at times during the past few 
mornings.ÂÂ >>> 
 
738-Tahiti's signal must have stayed here on the west coast this morning. It reached very good levels hereÂaround 1356-- about the strongest that it's managed during the recent solar shenanigans.

I've been chasing a carrier on 1548.01 for the past month or so during 
sunrise which has been strong at times but never with any audio making it 
through the domestic splatter. ÂLike previous SRS DXing sessions, the 
1548.01 carrier was there again this morning. ÂAnd oddly enough, it always 
appears strongest on my North D-KAZ. ÂIt's not even present on the South 
D-KAZ and it's barely there on the Southwest phased BOGs. ÂThe same 
reception pattern holds true for the domestic Aussie broadcasters in the 
120 meter shortwave band. ÂThey always come in better on the North D-KAZ. 
As sunrise approached here this morning at 1147 UTC, I could see 1548.01 
gaining in strength until some weak music could be heard - specifically Jim 
Croce's "Bad Bad Leroy Brown". ÂThings only got better from that point when 
I heard two Aussie accented ladies talking about the music between each 
song selection, and finally catching this announcement from one of them: 
"you're listening to ABC Local Radio". ÂFinally nailed 4QD Emerald, QLD.! 
Audio lasted until about 1140 UTC until it faded down to just a carrier 
again. ÂI posted a bit of this to YouTube here:

No other DUs noted here this morning and surprisingly nothing but a weak 
carrier from 738 Tahiti which has been decent at times during the past few 
mornings.
