[IRCA] AM BCB DX….BEST Southern Opening ever for me!!! 12 NEW Stations!!

Hi Guys:

 Well….I didn't think there was anything too exciting going on with the Aurora when I went to bed last night. BUT…when I woke up and started checking this morning's Captures on the ELAD, I realized there was indeed something Good going on!! Although the Signals did not really sound Auroral……the South was booming in from Texas to Missouri to Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky etc…….

I still haven't checked my 0600 EST Capture , so there may be more on there….but so far I have found 12 NEW Stations and a Pile of Lower Powered Relogs from down south!!

I don't remember ever hearing as good an opening as this before, and will let the Logs below speak for themselves!!! Since I got the SDR and the Wellbrook Loop, I have been waiting for one of these openings, and I finally got my wish.

All of this was heard despite having the Loop oriented EAST/WEST…..not NORTH/SOUTH!!

This is the stuff that makes DXing FUN!!! This lot of Loggings put me over 1700 Stations heard on AM BCB…….

RECEIVER………………..ELAD FDM-S2 SDR

ANTENNA……………….WELLBROOK ALA-1530LNP Imperium Loop
