[IRCA] 15 September TP/DU Victoria B.C. Canada



As Nick and Gary pointed out today's lack of excitement was
the result of a sunrise crap shoot with no shots fired.

Started with promise at 1314 UTC with 529 SQM at good levels from Alaska

It quickly degenerated into an all top tier Japanese sideshow with the
usual suspects...

1315 - 594 khz - Japan YL / OM back and forth in JJ

1318 - 774 khz - Japan - YL in more English sounding than usual

1319 - 828 khz - Japan - OM in JJ

1328 - 1566 khz - Korea at good levels at times with pipe organ music

1330 - 891 khz - EE talk with lively music over top of 890

1336 - 675 khz - Assume New Zealand with Kiwi style cadence of EE

1343 - 612 khz - Assume 4QR with EE Sports talk

Hints of audio and occasional appearances of clear audio on
567 (JJ), 585, 756, 972, 1053, 1116...

Good carriers and undelivered promises of audio, 531, 558, 621, 747, 792,
855, etc , 1575

A pot of Ethiopian coffee brewed at 1400 UTC made up for the embarrassing
debacle
that was this mornings session.

1st day using a VACTROL on the N/NW Flag from schematics provided
by Mark Connelly in Maine and strict supervision from Nick Hall - Patch
and mich encouragement from Walter Salmaniw.

I plan on making plenty of VACTROL sets for Flag antennas if anyone is
interested in one. It allows for the remote control of the termination on
the
flag using an opt-isolator.

Good DX everyone!
