Re: [IRCA] Reception of 693-Bangladesh on Ultralight Radio in Tokyo Area

[Saul Chernos <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using my Ultralight in the heart of downtown Toronto, where I don't have a DX set up, and have had a few stations from as far away as Florida that I have yet to hear from Burnt River ON DX site where I have a full set-up outdoors.      

I also use the ULR up here to help me decide whether to get up and DX when I wake overnight, and to work between the cracks when there's something I'm chasing and the antennas aren't quite aimed right.
So I always enjoy following stories such as this. That's a very cool reception!

With 693-JOAB off the air, Satoshi Miyauchi was able to receive 693-Bangladesh on a 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave Ultralight next to a window inside his house-- something that he apparently hasn't been able to accomplish with any portable for over 20 years. Maybe not as impressive as Chuck and Bruce's reception of the same station at Grayland in 2009, but it does seem to have made his day!

I think this  must be after more than 20 or nearly 30 years since I could catch them on portable radio at home!  FYI, that time, I have been (and still own some) using those "classic radios" with own made air loop antenna.
