[IRCA] Excellent AM DUs from Orcas Island, July 16, 2008



Was up early this AM, so I managed to catch most or all of the morning DU time. I tuned in at 1145 and there was quite a bit of threshold audio about. Early on, it was mostly Aussie, with a few JJs. The JJs dropped away about 1200 (dawn = 1225) and the Aussies led things for a while, with only a few Kiwi's. The ten minutes before and after LSR was mostly Kiwi Time. Overall, it was certainly one of my best-ever DU mornings here at this semi-inland site. I even heard a couple of Kiwis that I've never heard from the Coast, tho' not well enough to report. Also, for a while around 1215, I had 567//675//756//918, all National Radio New Zealand, of course.

Here are the notes.... were Threshold "6s" unless otherwise noted.

531 Best of season, tho' barely an UNID 7 level
567 in all AM, //675//756//918 @ 1215
576
657 Southern Star // 963 late
675 in latter half of AM // the others
702
747 JJ @ 1200
765 This one was in well for about 3 minutes, 1228-1231. Was hoping for the probable 5CC ID. No luck.

774 JJ @ 1200, Both at 1208, DU late
837 Two 2 kW Nat Radio synchros // 675 @ 1217
855 Have noted good het here several AMs. Finally in audio, sounded like R. Rhema, 1XH Hamilton

891 5AN// 702 @1209
918 First noted 1210, //675 @ 1222 3YT Timaru
927 (2ZA Kiwi?)
963 Southern Star, last half of AM //657
1017 Briefly at good level with OC @1220, could hear something underneath... which sounded like 2KY, Sydney. At 1230, OC was gone but presumed 2KY was still there

1053 NewsTalk ZB, New Plymouth presumed at 7 level
1107
1116

It would have been a great AM on the coast!
