Hello Guys,
The big surprise this morning was finding KHHO-850's IBOC silent, and
a
very rare chance to log some TP's usually buried in its buzz saw. 864
had
fair audio on both the 30" loopstick ICF-2010 and modified E100, in
apparent
Korean (will check recording later for clues). 837 had weak audio on the
modified ICF-2010 (presumably NHK1) but faded out before the Ultralight
could be
tried. 855 had a weak heterodyne, as did 846.
KHHO-850's IBOC is still off as I write this (1553 UTC, or 0853 PDT),
allowing very easy reception of Seaside on 840, and Portland on 860, on
the
E100
General conditions were much improved from yesterday, although still
not up to optimum. A quick check of the usual frequencies showed there
was
fairly good propagation, but the rare chance to tune around 850 was an
opportunity not to be missed-- and was interesting indeed.
73, Gary
