Re: [IRCA] Fixinâ ta TA Blues...

[Neil Kazaross <neilkaz58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Quite a few TA's audible in IL tonight. Mostly low/mid band. I put down a
super simple short Phased BOG System in the snow pre-sunset aimed about 35
deg and it worked. New country for me is Egypt 864 with Koranic chanting.
This could overpower France years back at my Lake Michigan bluffside QTH in
WI where TA's are much better but never had it here. New also is Turkey on
891 thx to Tim Tromp tip. I was just shutting down at 0315 and read his tip
and phased down WLS and sure enough there they were with TT talk til about
0322.

783 Syria (at this hour and per logs by others) had a decent carrier but
even a null that sometimes hit 45 dB on local WBBM wasn't enough for audio.
594 Saudi was in from about 0248-0306 at times. I assume 1521 is basically
gone or running a very reduced sked? Anyhow not at all a highband night.
891 decent carrier expected to be needed Egypt but couldn't raise audio.

567 Spain noted // several at 0325 with a brief segment of The Doors mx.

73 KAZ 35 miles NW of Chicago
