If you could log 3 new beacons during the poor Longwave conditions the past 24 hours, your new antenna must be workng fine! I gave the band a check around 0800 UTC last night, and wrote the band off as hopeless. Even some B.C. pest stations were struggling to get through... let alone Almost Manitoba! 73, Gary -----Original Message-----

The Rain we had yesterday (Which totalled almost 3 Inches!!) has stopped...the Snow that covered the Ground after the rain turned to snow, has melted during the day....and now it's just getting Cold again!! Temp out on the deck tonight is 29 Degrees F. I made 2 trips out to the deck....and logged one new beacon on each trip. Conditions were much better than last night, but still not phenomenal......but I logged 2 new ones...so that is a good night. One of these Beacons is in Far Northeastern Quebec.......or as Gary and I would say......"Almost Nunavut!!" The other beacon is a Semi-Local that I was never able to hear til I got the FSL Antenna!! RADIO USED..................Barefoot TECSUN PL-380 ULR coupled to DeBock Longwave FSL Antenna ULR LW Totals are now.......209 Stations Heard 73....ROB VA3SW Robert S.
