JOUB audible in Oklahoma

This morning KSPI, 780 kHz, didn't switch on their transmitter at the
usual time of 1100 UTC. That permitted me to hear JOUB, 774 kHz, using a barefoot SRF-T615. At times the signal had fair copy with some XEMF and WBBM spill over. I was able to listened to part of an English lesson at 1223-1226. Sadly KSPI fired up the transmitter at 1227 and JOUB was lost until another day. Also had hets on 594, 693 and 747 kHz. The latter was strong at times, but no audio punched its way past the WSB and CKJH QRM. The strongest het of the morning was heard on 972 kHz for a few minutes after local sunrise. But no audio was heard through the KCFO and WDAY QRM. Folks on the west coast should have been able to hear JOUB with a crystal set this morning. Anyone west of the Mississippi River could have heard it depending on tehir local QRM situation. Good DX to everyone. Richard Allen 36°22'51"N / 97°26'35"W (near Perry OK) |

Ledbetter Beach in Santa Barbara a couple of hours before sunrise. I'll have my Sony 2010 and Select-a-Tenna as a spotter and DT-400W and SRF-39FP in case conditions are good enough that a stock ultralight is all that's needed. Ledbetter Beach looks like this: Ledbetter Beach: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Leadbetter_beach.jpg That photo tells the story of why it's so freaking expensive to live here. Clicking on the photo will enlarge it. 73 --- In ultralightdx@..., "bbwrwy" <richarda@...> wrote:

Dennis:
Sadly conditions have deteriorated since Thursday morning. This morning there was little sign of JOUB 774, only a het around local sunrise. Also noticed a het on 828 kHz. Reception seemed to favor the southern states and Mexico this morning. The exceptions were CKRM 620, Regina, and CJGX 940, Yorkton, both with decent signals. I hope things improve in the next day or so. Best of DX. Richard Allen, 36°22'51"N / 97°26'35" W (near Perry OK) |
