Hi Everyone,   With the  reports of Alberta stations  ( 960 ) Calgary and (1260 ) Edmonton being heard lately as far east as Prince Edward Island on other sites, I've been keeping an ear open  for them also .   Residing in Alberta previously  for 48 of my years, it would be a great catch from here  and my 8th province logged on ULR. Hopefully everyone else will have a chance to log it also.   I did manage to hear a new one early this morning as follows:   990 khz - CBW - Winnipeg, Manitoba   8:00 UTC  9/28/08 w/ CBC  News, talk by woman , mention of CBC then into CBC Overnight ; fair  at times ( heard under CBY Cornerbrook, Newfoundland , also a CBC station ) *** NEW *** on ULR    That's Station # 360 on ULR's now  of which exactly half  (180 ) are Transatlantics heard.     73 Allen Willie St. John's, Newfoundland SRF-M37V  barefoot

Allen good work on the Manitoba Station!! I hear that one quite often on
the ULR's...even with a LOCAL CFPL 980 right next door..it gets out pretty
well!!
OK on # 360 heard with HALF of them being TransAtlantics!! That is
Amazing!! I thought you may have heard a few more than 360 as you seemed to
be cleaning up there for a while.....but I think a Good Deal of your 360
Heard are PRIMO DX STATIONS!!! I am now sitting at 486 ULR's Heard after
hearing 2 New Stations from North Carolina this morning at SUNRISE!! It had
been a bit of Drought here lately with nothing New Heard for a while. I'm
not sure what the Saturation Point is for Stations Heard on an
Ultralight..but I think I'm getting close!! AHHAHAHAHA....I'm sure I'll
continue to hear new ones.......but Man it sure was a lot easier when I
only had 200 heard than it is now!! Just makes us work a little harder I
guess.....

Keep logging them Allen......I'm sure this DX Season is gonna be a
Productive One for all ULR DX'ers.....It's really catching on...and there
are a Pile of Guys twisting the Dials of these Pocket Marvels......it's
gonna be interesting to see what the Winter brings!!!
