Re: [IRCA] IRCA DXWW-W Column

I also certainly find yours and other submissions interesting Steve. It's really obvious that you hear Asians after a geomagnetic upset before more northerly DXers do, though Dennis Vroom also does well in that respect.
As far as Brandon's possible harvesting of the list, maybe we all could make a point of providing more detail for special catches that we'd like to have remembered.....TA's heard in the west, TP's in the east, 2kw New Zealanders etc., as Brandon won't always know what what is a special reception at particular site. If we highlight it and detail it (after all, don't we want to brag?), then he can ignore it. (cc'ing to him might be very helpful also).
That way, there's a difference between propagation reports, and DX reports. (DXpedition reports are another thing....is Phil still harvesting those?) 

best wishes,

Nick

Well, I read them every day, Steve :-)
Usually by this time in September I have gotten into the routine of a daily TP report, Brandon, but the TP's seem to have been on an extended propagation swoon here (similar to what Nigel has reported), and I'm still busy reviewing some DU recordings from my "Oz Hill" trip to Lincoln City, OR from August 20-23. Once the Asians get serious about showing up I don't mind changing my reporting format to what you desire, although I don't know if you would be interested in the TP-DX recording links that I sometimes include with the loggings. In any case, your volunteer efforts to take some of the administrative load off of Phil are greatly appreciated-- thanks!

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for volunteering to do the DXWW-W column in the IRCA newsletter.

I'd have to say I fall into the "don't care" category you mentioned, and
my email list postings are 99% not suited for inclusion in the column,
and I'd suggest to just ignore my postings. On the rare event that
possibly something is heard well enough to maybe include, I could CC you
that info and maybe edit it for possible inclusion. So, speaking only
for myself, I have little interest in seeing anything from me posted in
the official newsletter. I'm happy to continue with the email list. I
highly doubt very many read my postings anyway. There are much better TP
listeners who do report what they hear, who would be better included in
the official newsletter column.

73,
