Re: [IRCA] TP DX for Monday Sept 16



Dunno Gary, there hasn't been that much upper band DX of any strength outside of HLAZ here this September. The lower band gets pretty lit up, while there's just one or two channels at any given time that deliver any signal about 1100kHz.

best wishes,

Nick

Well, you are receiving some mid-band and high-band TP's that I don't hear, so maybe everything balances out in the long run? 819-NK, 945-China, 963-CRI and 981-CNR1 have yet to reach audio level here this season.

There is pretty strong evidence that the PL-380 + FSL combination favors the low-band, at the expense of the high-band. The same kind of tradeoff seemed to occur this summer on the Oregon coast during the July DXpeditions, when you guys had far more high-band DU loggings than I did.

73, Gary

It was another good morning for TPs here.  The North Korean on 819
managed to poke through next to my 820 local again, and Japanese
stations on 585 and 1287 finally showed some audio.   The South Korean
on 1170 was in well enough for a readable "KBS World Radio" ID behind
semi-local KPUG.  The mystery of the day was a weak Chinese station on
891.  I wish I knew who that was.  There's also something coming in at
times under the 972 Korean.

I'm still not hearing much on 603 and 738.  Somehow, they both manage to
fly over my house and plop down with a thud in Gary's back yard.
