Re: [IRCA] TP DX for Monday Sept 16

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Nick,

<<<    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 above 1100kHz.   >>>

That's a very accurate description for the September TP's here so far, Nick. 1134-KBS, 1287-JOHR, 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA show up with audio almost every morning, but little else. 1377-China and 1593-CNR1 have been missing in action here since the season started, although I have had anemic audio on 1017, 1035, 1044 and 1323 at times.

Some Chinese on the low-band (639-CNR1 and 738-Taiwan), one Russian (648-VOR) and one Korean (603-HLSA) have already reached better signal levels than they did all last season, though. For live DXing with limited time, the tendency is to stick around where the action is.

73, Gary

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
