Re: [IRCA] 585-2WEB-- North American Reception Reports Wanted!

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gary, I checked my Perseus wav files from March 17, 2015 while in Masset (I
had a HD failure, but was able to recover the Perseus files, thank
goodness!).  585 was relatively strong at 14:40 to 14:50 UTC.  Of course,
things went downhill before 15:00.  I checked for // frequencies for Radio
National and ABC Newsradio, and they were not in //, so I'm suspecting this
to have been Outback Radio.  I've sent an email to 2WEB for confirmation.
Checking other frequencies that morning was amazing:  wall to wall DU
without any Asian stations at all.  This is extremely unusual, to say the
least!   73,....Walt
