[IRCA] S. AZ TA LWBC

[Steve Ratzlaff <ratzlaffsteve@xxxxxxxxx>]

Seeing reports of TA activity I finally thought to give it a try 
tonight, using my N/S and E/W longwires. Lots of MW hets though nothing 
close to producing audio, but LWBC doing much better. It's probably been 
5 years since I moved from the Oregon site where I had longwires and had 
some decent LWBC reception, so it's very nice to see I can also get some 
of that again here, much farther south. The S9 to S9+10 constant storm 
static tonight isn't helping, but I am hearing some audio.

near Sahuarita, AZ

R75; 750' N/S and 950' E/W longwires (both do about the same for these 
TA LWBC, I note.)


(153 strong het but can't pull any audio out; almost seems like just the 
carrier is left on with no modulation?)

162 France very poor/poor on peaks 0418

171 Morocco poor 0430

252 Ireland weak on peaks, would be perfectly readable except for the S9 
static. 0413 to present (0446) utc.

(Weak hets on 189 and 198; hard to tell above that due to NDB carriers 
every 1 kHz; 252 is strong enough to easily produce audio.)
