[IRCA] TP's for 6 Sep 2008

[cafe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

2 words. Holy Smoley.

Not sure that Smoley is actually a word... but.
The hills were alive with the sounds of TP's this morning!

Switched on the R8 at 1245 UTC to find audio... everywhere;
558, 567, 576, 594, 612, 639, 702, 738, 747, 756, etc etc...

Dropped that and went to the Eton E1 barefoot -
Japan on 747 and 774 at a "9" level.

Dropped that and grabbed the Sony Prison Radio barefoot
and ran to a window... mini-Disc recorder in hand...

Japan on 747 as clear as a bell... and recorded! (MP3 on DXer.ca later...)
That one event alone (Thanks Gary!) was worth the price of admission
and as exciting as hearing VOA Okinawa on 1178 for the first time in 1975 or 1976

Back to the Eton E1 for a moment... Japan on 828, muddy audio on 837, 918,
927, 936, 945, 954, russian on 963, Korean on 972 (a 9) and then
back to the Ultra-lights.

I concentrated on the most reliable signals like Japan on 747 and 774
and they were hammering all the receivers - left the R8 on 747 and
it never dropped below and "8" for over 15 or 20 minutes.

Wow.

Receivers: Drake R8, Eton E1, Ulrs galore
Antennas: Wellbrook's and bare feet.

Location - Victoria B.C. Canada on the southern tip of Vancouver Island
