Re: [IRCA] Some gratifying Eastern catches (November 2nd)



Thanks for the post on this. Managed to log KDKA here near Edmonton, AB today. A new state for me. I haven't had a lot of luck with the Eastern US from my location. Listening on a Lowe HF-150 with a K9AY loop.

Hi,

I can't compete with all of the interesting TA, TP, DU, etc., catches
reported here, but I had an excellent cross-country evening.  This got a
little long; I'll probably write up something even longer for my blog with
recordings.


That was promising, so I went to 1020 and sure enough, after 30 minutes of
effort, through presumed KTNQ and KCKN (both SS):
1020 KDKA, Pittsburgh PA, weak at 8:33pm, 50000W, call (new), 1820 miles
This was probably a slightly better catch, even given the favorable
nighttime patterns of KTNQ and KCKN.  I've been rather disappointed at
times with distant reception (or lack thereof), but this was a very
encouraging night.

(I didn't keep particularly good logs when I was a teen in Iowa the last
time I was doing consistent DXing, but I tended to do a better job with
longer distance catches.  Thus, these are not my first lifetime logs of KYW
and KDKA.)
