[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 1/14/17

[Richard N Allen <richarda@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While unreadable, the signal from V7AB on 1098 kHz was the best so far this season.  The carrier was first heard at 0629 GMT (Majuro sunrise was 0636).  It was stronger by 0637.  There was barely audible talk at 0649 fading in and out.  Man talking at 0716, sounding like a Pacific island language at 0720.  Unable to hear a clear audible signal because of severe to extreme QRM from WTAM-1100.

I also hear a het on 972 at 1219, still audible at 1349.  Also, there was a sudden, but brief, barely audible trace on 1566 at local sunrise (1341).

Thus far the ice storm hasn't affected my power.  With the temperature remaining at around -1ÂC there is light icing on the all surfaces.  My generator is ready to go just in case of an outage.
