Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] Re: West Michigan DX log 9/5/2011

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kaz, I think you're correct about my 702 being Sydney, the frequency offset
that I measured does correspond.

I tried again this morning but conditions seemed to be down from yesterday
morning.  702 was hardly there, but 738 produced a strong het this morning
at 1100 UTC measuring 738.001 - Tahiti I suppose according to the mwoffset
list.  Also visible was a weaker one on 737.999 - Grafton probably, so your
assessment is spot on.  No WRPQ to contend with this morning either.  Also
absent were the abundance of Mexican stations off the back of the BOGs that
filled my logbook the morning prior.  I'll keep at it this week and hope for
some audio that I can // with.

73,
Tim
