Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] New TIS in Chicago area - WQFE239

["Bill Harms" <wharms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone:

You bet!  It is very possible to pick up TIS in Europe, and I am 
surprised that it hasn't happened more often.  Before the more 
westerly stations fade in there are DX opportunities to hear TISs on 
channels like 1620, 1630, 1640, 1670, and 1700.  These channels don't 
have regular broadcast stations in the NE USA but are loaded with 
TISs.  The past few days I have logged several new non-local TISs on 
1620 and 1640. Even after the regular broadcast stations start to 
come in, they might fade down enough for a lucky DXer like Jim to 
hear some TISs.

It might be worth a few shots for European DXers to try for these 
stations on a beverage in a remote area like Lemmenjoki.  I think it 
is wonderful that Jim heard WQBR256.  Maybe there are more such 
catches out there.  How about it?
