[IRCA] Alberta DU for 18/19/20 July 2013

[Nigel Pimblett <nige2730@xxxxxxxxx>]

Like Nick, I found the 18th to be a well above average morning, at least 
on the high end of the band.  For some reason his best signals didn't 
make audio here (1566 I can understand, as the antenna I was using 
favours NZ more than Australia, but rather odd that Tahiti wasn't 
better), but otherwise my results corresponded quite well.


18th - 1035 from New Zealand was the best DU signal of the morning, with 
weak audio from 1107 to 1120, but quite decent for a minute or so at 
1117.  1503 was close behind with interview noted at 1118.  1629 had 
fair audio with an old style country song at 1119, and there seemed to 
be another station with talk in there too.  A signal (presumed Radio 
Club AM in Greek) on 1683.24 popped up briefly at 1120, with vocal by a 
woman. (so far off freq that I almost missed it).  A few channels had 
audio of the "barely detectable" variety: 1044, 1197, 1512, 1611, 1638 
Another bunch of freqs had strongish carriers that never quite made 
audio: 738, 1008, 1017, 1026, 1116 (two carriers about even in strength, 
13Hz apart, likely 4BC but who else?), 1206, 1305 (about 30 Hz high), 
1314, 1413, 1566, 1593, 1665, 1701

19th - About a minute of weak audio on 1503, and traces of audio on 738 
Tahiti and 1035 presumed NZ.  Also "almost there" carriers on 1197 and 
1206. First DU audio for a while today, with both Tahiti on 738 and 
presumed New Zealand having traces of audio at 1110 UTC or so.

20th - way down today, with no audio, and only weak carriers from the 
usual "best bets".

73,
