X-band activity!
Hey Walt... I didn't know you had the QDFA??.. I want to build this
so
bad, but I'm worried about signal overload from nearby pests.. I want
this antenna almost as bad as I want to look in Guy Atkins third
party
plugin folder. I hope to make it to the big showdown in Oregon.. Hey

Listened this morning between 11:38 and about 14:30 and noted that
things were substantially better than yesterday. Lot's of X-banders
there in low audio, and some of the Russian LW stations. Last
night, I did see the 1566 carrier at almost audio level around and
after 05:00. Thanks to Nick Hall-Patch for reminding us of grayline
possibilities! Using the QDFA aimed north worked fine for 1566,
while I was seeing a somewhat weaker signal from RFO Tahiti on 738
aiming the Wellbrook array to the S/SW. As my Perseus was acting up
(no, my laptop), I mostly used the AOR 7030+ this morning, starting
at the top of the band and working down.......Walt
For this morning, here's a partial list with "6" unless noted
otherwise:
180: 6.5
1701
1683.28, 1665.0, 1656, 1647
1638: 7 level with Greek or Arabic sounding music
1629
1611: 7
1602: 6.5 level with oldies music
1566: 9 level HLAZ
1548: ABC at 7 level
1539, 1512
1503: 7 level Japanese with cochannel music
1494: 7 level music at 12:19
1485: JJ talk at 6.5 to 7
1476, 1475 both 6.5 to 7
1467: 6 to 7 level
1440: JJ music at 8 level
1422: 9 level JORF Yokohama
1413: JJ talk at 7 level
1386: 2 cochannels. NHK2 and another slightly weaker, although the
latter dominated when switched over to the ALA antenna....Radio
Tarana at 8 level).
1377: NHK2 at 7.5 at 12:26 with EE lesson.
1368, 1359, 1323
1314: 7 level JOUF Osaka at 12:31
For some reason the band below was quite noisy this morning. Also a
comment on last night: Lot's of atmospheric noise! Par for summer,
I suppose (which has arrived in Masset....temperatures in the upper
20s and a glorious sunset with pink/red skies after 22:00 local).
That's it for now. Just a few days left before heading back to
Victoria, and work........Walt in Masset.
