Monday night LWBC, S. AZ  View Printable Version 
Tuesday, January 15 2019

IRCA
I have a 700' N/S longwire and a 900' E/W longwire that are my primary
antennas. I get more local AC noise on the E/W wire and even though most
LWBC is stronger on the E/W, the N/S wire has less noise and better
overall S/N. When I lived in northeast Oregon I also had longwire
antennas and would get LWBC; being much farther south here in AZ I never
really expected to get much, and have been very pleased with what's been
heard, especially this season. Several instances of 252 Algeria at
"armchair copy" in AM sync mode, where normally the NDBs cause strong
hets from the carriers, and the NDB idents themselves create
"interference". (And I'm primarily an NDB DXer, but do like to hear any
LWBC coming my way!)

In Victoria, rarely any LWBC action in comparison, I think I've only

longwire Steve?

Last few evenings have seen MW carriers seeming to be from the UK and
Lithuania, a contrast to poor TP conditions.

best wishes,

LWBC got fairly decent later on this Monday evening. At around 06
utc: 171 poor (AM sync); 183 poor (AM sync); 189 very poor; 198 poor
(AM sync); 216 very poor; 234 very poor; (243 hints); 252 medium (AM
sync). MW only has 1089 with rapidly fading het not lasting long
enough for any audio.

I'll need to talk to my neighbours about any
equivalent here, hi. Are these Beverage antenna height, or higher?

Thanks.

Well done!

The writing has been on the wall for a long time -

I managed to migrate 5 groups - it was pretty seamless at the time - but
the Yahoo rulebook was constantly changing.
