Re: [IRCA] [Amdx] India on 1071

["Jim Renfrew" <jrenfrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Definitely heard in Newfoundland in 2011, and perhaps earlier than that.  In 
2011 it was markedly stronger - a new transmitter I believe.  Several dozen 
other Indians heard from there, though I did better in 2010 as I recall.

Of course, Sylvain's reception is all the more remarkable because he is 
inland, while in Newfoundland we were right on the ocean in Cappahayden. 
Allen is also well-situated for this kind of reception.

The Perseus makes it possible to pick them off at sign-on time.  0020 UTC is 
a good time to aim for, with a distictive sign-on tune.

The first one we logged was 1566 many years ago, and it was entertaining to 
watch Dave Clark dance around the room with joy.  (He was widely known as an 
Indian shortwave expert).  We even proposed putting up a brass plaque on the 
grounds of the now torn-down DX Inn to mark the event.  There are plaques 
like this in various places around Newfoundland for first Transatlantic 
flights, radio transmissions, undersea cable, etc.  So why not India?

1071 is not so hard now that CBA has gone to FM, and there's not a lot of 
stuff on the air in Europe either.

Well-done, Sylvain!
