Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-11: Victoria perspective

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Gary.  Here's the perspective from Victoria:

I monitored from 12:45 until now (13:56).  Today, my observations did not
sync all that well with Nick's DX Fishbarrel.  This is the first time I
noticed a difference all week.  There was promise across the band,
including 1566 initially, but this rapidly dropped away, with most
activity, again all DU and seemingly Australia, up to the 1116.  Overall,
I'd say that Nick's Fishbarrel showed things in a better light than my
QTH.  Also, often my ALA 100 aimed SW/NW outperformed my FLG 100 W directed
large corner fed loop, especially on the lower part of the band.  It was
much quieter.  So, here are some of my observations:

530:   531 only a fairly weak carrier, but WA State Ferries Port Townsend
coming in very well.

540:  Looking for the 40w Uclulet CBC transmitter, but only CBK Regina at
good level.  Only 4  deg now, but up to 28 deg tomorrow.

576:  2RN with EZL music at good level at 13:34, but gone 2 minutes later.

594:  3WV Horsham  fair level at 13:07

612:  4QR Brisbane.   Pretty much armchair at 13:10.  Same at 13:31, and
still going strong at 13:53.  Not really syncing well with Nick's DX
Fishbarrel.  Last to go this morning.

702:  ABC Brisbane.  Good reception at 13:05 with ABC news ID.

738:  Off and on, but modulation always too low for me to be certain of
who.  I'm blasted by splatter from 730 Vancouver making reception difficult.

774:  DU only this morning, off and on.

891:  Fair reception at 13:28 with music.

73 from Victoria!
