[IRCA] AM BCB DX.......7 NEW Stations Good Conditions to the SOUTH!

[Robert Ross <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys:

    Well things are starting to finally cook on the BCB!! This weeks report includes 7 New Stations and some nice Lower Powered Catches! Conditions to the SOUTH have been very good the past few days, resulting in some Semi-Auroral Catches. 

The BCB Season seemed to start out rather slow here, but perhaps it will redeem itself as Winter approaches!


AM BCB TOTALS are nowââââ.    2,128     Stations Heard

RECEIVER isâââ.ELAD FDM-S2 SDR

ANTENNA isâââWELLBROOK ALA-1530 LNP Imperium Loop
