[IRCA] Ultralight First and Records List UPDATED

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just posted the latest update of the Ultralight Firsts and 
Records list to the Ultralight Files area of dxer.ca

http://www.dxer.ca/component/option,com_docman/task,cat_view/gid,87/Itemid,77/

Allen Willie of St. Johns, Newfoundland has added two more first 
country catches (Romania and Denmark) and Paul Logan of Northern 
Ireland has finally broken the TA barrier from East to West. 
Following that first TA reception, Paul continued to reach Across the 
Pond and OBLITERATE most of the World-wide Distance Records for 
various transmitter powers. His latest catch didn't even make the 
list yet.... a new record at 1000 watts:

1700 KVNS Brownsville TX, 4-9-08, Sony SRF59 Unlimited (with 2 foot loop)

4794 miles / 7715 km

That is stunning for a cheap little ANALOG pocket radio, even with 
the assistance of a two foot loop antenna!  The Northwest crew are 
going to have to struggle to surpass that record this season (or the 
next, for that matter!)






John B.
Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA
Rcvrs: WiNRADiO 313e, Eton e1, NRD-535(kiwa-mods) + Flocka Ultralights
Antennas: 700' NE/SW mini-Bev, Wellbrook Phased Array (pre-production version)
