[IRCA] MF Band Conditions
Beginning early morning UTC March 21st here in central Florida the MF AM
Broadcast band conditions finally began returning to some sense of normalcy.
Most of the stations in central and South America were pretty much gone, to
be replaced by the usual 50 kw stations to my north and west. I even was
able to log BSKSA Duba Saudi Arabia on 1521 kc and Morocco on 171 kc.
Early this morning 0900 UTC while trying to hear KSL 1160 kc I logged the
following stations fighting it out:
WTEL Red Springs, NC .25 kw
WCFO East Point, GA .16 kw
WMET Gaithersburg, MD 1.5 kw
WCRT Donelson, TN 1kw
I did log KSL 1160 kc with it's top of the hour ID at 1000 UTC, pure luck
with allot the QRM.
I was using my Icom IC-751A and 160 meter inverted L. The inverted L is 127
feet long with a fifty foot vertical section.
I began DXing the MF AM broadcast band in 1965 and started my log over again
from scratch in October 2011.
