I have not posted here much in awhile, but I am working from home today
twiddling my thumbs waiting for some files from work to be e-mailed to
me, so while I am waiting, I thought I'd post.
A week or so ago, there was a brief discussion about the dearth of
stations on 1710. That frequency is blank in my log, so I started
monitoring 1710 intently for a couple of days and managed to hear the
Springfield (MA) Armory National Historic Site TIS, 40 miles away.
I logged number 300 in my AM log just before the new year.
My main tools the past year were an Elecraft KX3, C.Crane Skywave and
the stock radio in my 2007 Subaru Outback Sport. Antennas were a Terk
Advantage, C.Crane Twin Coil Ferrite and a 40-meter inverted vee... the
first two are indoors, the third is outdoors.
My best loggings mileage-wise the past year were KXEL (996 miles from
the Subaru on the way to work), WBOB (924 miles), three Cubans (1300 to
1400 miles). I also logged a bunch of distant low-power stations, but
whenever I mention those, some folks chime in claiming that those
stations must have been running daytime power, so I won't bother
mentioning them.
I plan to enhance my outdoor antenna farm after this winter ends.
73,
Stan, WA1LOU
