[IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Saturday

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this would have been a good morning to be at the coast. Many MW hets 
up and down the band, especially the upper. Many places I don't usually hear 
a het. Actual received audio was poor, and didn't seem to favor Australia, 
though 891 with DU talk was my best, at poor/weak level briefly, 1152 utc. 
648 with EE EZL type music, poor, 1155 utc; 657 with soft music, very 
poor/poor at 1159 until 670 turned its IBOC strong heavy hiss on at 1200 
utc. wiping out 657. 1503 and 639 were close to audio.
1737 KUT PNG beacon at good level, and heard anytime I checked from 
1111-1200 utc.
180 and 279 LWBC Radio Rossii at poor/weak level early on, 1104 utc.
Of the various radios I monitor, that have the same antenna going to all, 
and that have the audio switched to the headphones, the AR7030 is 
consistently the best at pulling out weak audio. The Harris RF590 is about 
the same, but is not nearly as easy to jump around in frequency with.
