Re: [IRCA] Alberta TP's for 5 Sep 2008



Walt,
I was likewise most interested in your very different listening experience this morning. Also interesting that Craig in CO apparently also had some TPs, whereas here the band was totally lacking in any trace of a TP. Even the Russian LW outlets were completely absent. Going back over some records I likely understated how good a DU morning it was. Audio heard on 16 channels, with carriers noted on another 83 (with a fair number of decent strength), which exceeded any day I listened last season. Certainly no recovery on the TA's here yet, with nothing noted this evening.

Nigel, I found your comments very interesting, as out here in the north west of BC, Asia recovered very nicely, and I received very little DU activity today.  Perhaps that "donut hole" is south of me allowing for Asia to propagate once again.........Walt in Masset.

With the current solar activity all the action here this morning was DU, as expected. Quite a good morning, with audio on 531, 558, 612, 639,684, 702, 729, 738, 774, 828, 846, 855, 891, 1098, 1116, and 1386. Now, many of those were very brief periods of audio, and quite weak, but it still rates as my best morning for DU audio this season. Was especially interesting to hear a few seconds of Aussie talk on 1098, something I've never heard before. Another first was hearing audio on 1386, which didn't sound English, so I'm suspecting Radio Tarana in New Zealand. Many of the domestic signals seemed depressed, which helped. For example tuning to 890 only yielded 5AN on 891, with no North American competition. 891 and 828 provided the strongest signals, with 1116 lagging behind for some reason. In spite of the total lack of Asian signals, still a very interesting morning.
