Good report Allen. I was TA DXing around sunset on the 11th at Duxbury, MA but with the Perseus. I put a few audio clips from the session online in case anyone is interested in how some of these stati

<< 1539 khz – Unidentified 19:45 UT/6 man talking Spanish >> There is an SER outlet which should be // 1116 etc. << 1548 khz – Unidentified 19:20 UT/5 man in Spanish (EMWG indicates no Spanish @ time)

This is definitely the way to fly when you have a short intense opening such as an hour before to an hour after sunset here on the East Coast or the similar situation around sunrise on the West Coast.

A Spanish language pirate was reported on 1710 in the Hartford, CT area. One or more pirates in Haitian Creole (Africanized French) are in the Boston-Brockton, MA area. In New York City, there is (or

Largely the same group of stations heard here, which is interesting for a 900 mile approximate distance. A couple of comments: 1280 generally has WFAU (ME) atop. WADO-NYC under but not much Montreal h

Typically Radio Farda UAE on 1575 is the farthest barefoot ultralight reception I can manage. Heavy slop-over from 1560 WQEW (R. Disney) NY makes 1566 India extremely difficult here in the Boston area

I see my your callsign in your e-mail that you are likely in Newfoundland. Right? If so you can team up with Allen in keeping us supplied with transatlantic tips.

Going on a 2 hours after sunrise to 2 hours before sunset definition of "daylight reception times", the Saudi Arabian station on 1521 can show up at coastal sites in Massachusetts as early as 1 p.m. l

Gary, I would say that some of your "down condition" comments apply here on the East Coast too. October isn't sounding a heck of a lot better than August this year. With a few exceptions such as 1530,

Great report Allen. Most of these can be heard here in the Boston area but primarily with the Perseus + Flag combo, not so much with the ultralights. One thing of which ultralighters should take advan

The BOG has a slightly lower characteristic impedance than an elevated Beverage. The 9:1 transformer (450 ohms antenna to 50 ohms receiver) works well for either type of antenna. If using a binocular

Richard, I think your guesses at the TA'a are correct except for << 1062 unID, (TUR?) 0406, het. >> This is far more likely to be Denmark which is often huge here on the East Coast at that time. Mark

Just a short ride from my main location at Billerica, MA (15 miles inland) out to a shore site makes a huge difference. At Granite Pier in Rockport, MA, Saudi 1521 demolishes WWKB most early evenings,

I think salt water is the magic bullet. This works similarly along the Massachusetts coast with TA signals much easier to hear than anything west of Chicago. A few miles inland, most of the Europe, Mi

I think you may have hit a case of "chordal mode" propagation just before dawn fade-out when a tilt in the reflecting layer sends the signal "sideways" just below the arc of that reflecting layer as i
