Re: [IRCA] No DUs in AB

Hi Nigel,
 
Thanks for sharing your impressions of the summer DU season.
 
For some reason unknown to me, the Aussies and Kiwis have really boomed in  
during the three one-night trips I made to Grayland this summer. It seemed 
like  the propagation either favored one or the other, however-- not both at 
the same  time. The 2 and 2.5 kw Kiwis (927-2ZA and 1296-1ZH) owned their 
frequencies last  Sunday, during morning enhancement.
 
It's always amazing to consider the difference between ocean coast  
propagation and my home location (80 miles inland), though. After logging 23  DU's 
at Grayland, I still haven't heard audio from a single one at  home.
 
73, Gary DeBock

I normally do very little listening in July and August, and this  
year's been no exception.   But, having read of some DU success  from the 
coast, I thought I'd try a little listening yesterday morning  (14th).  
This in spite of the fact that it's still a bit early for  the 
traditional Alberta DU season.  Well, tradition held, as all I  heard 
were a number of DU carriers, with zero audio.
It  was still worth the effort though, as I did log a new one, with a 
nice ID  from Lakeport, California's KXBX on 1270 for a new one  here.
