Improved propagation conditions

I appears signal propagation conditions have improved from the
unsettled period last weekend and should be mostly quiet for the
remainder of the week. The K-index has been zero since before 0600
UTC on 11/17/08.

I've been hearing WGN 720 (1023km/636mi) and KQWB 1660 (1180km/733mi)
here in Oklahoma all day. So hopefully tonight will allow you to hear
that elusive station or maybe a TA or two. If you live in the central
part of North America, check out 1134 kHz for Hrvatsha Radio. It has
been heard in northern Oklahoma between 0030 and 0230 UTC.

Best of DX to all.

Hi Richard:

Things have been good out here near Seattle as well. WGN-720 and WBBM-780
were coming in great last night from Chicago, on top of stations out of
Nevada, with readability quality perhaps the best in memory.

While conditions are improved, thus far the distant signals aren't
rolling in as I hoped. The exception, is Vancouver's "News 11-30"
which is coming in at 0500 UTC with a fair signal. Ironically I can
hear CKWX, but have yet to hear a station in Oregon and Washington. I
guess I'll just have to wait my turn.

Good DX.

--- Richard:
When i lived back in Oklahoma,i did receive KVI 570 in Seattle at
least a couple of times but not on ULRs.The winter dx season was
over when i got involved in ULRs.On a few occassions i had a
tentative log on another Seattle station -KOMO 1000.Maybe you can
give these 2 a try.I never did log Oregon though.

Thanks for the information. I will definitely check out KVI 570.
Back in the good old days, before the AM band became so overcrowded, I
use to hear KGA 1510 from Spokane. But that was a long time ago.

Good Dxing.
