Allen:

Congratulations on logging station #1100. It is quite an accomplishment, and one I doubt I'll reach.

Good DX.

Richard,

Thanks for the congrats. With the solar cycle changing plus getting an earlier rise more often in the mornings in recent months I seem to be increasing my chances of hearing new ones for the log.

Conditions are definitely showing change heading towards the upcoming fall season here in the North Atlantic.

A number of shutdowns of some stations overseas is also helping to find new stations that previously were blocked by some stronger stations.

Iran on 1431 has been audible here more often lately than Radio Sawa in Djibouti on that frequency.




Good DX

Hello To All,



Very good conditions last evening and early this morning on AM here in the "Hope". A number of stations not heard in a while were audible . India made an appearance on 1071 with a decent signal, just a reminder that the fall DX season is just around the corner.

CFTR 680 in Toronto as well as 4VEH in Haiti on 840 were audible this morning during an early morning check, at times all by themselves with no other stations mixing.

There was a presumed Mexican station on 850 with strong signal as well, however no ID, only several mentions of Mexico were heard

Two more Trans-Atlantic stations were added to the ULR log last night including the English station, Gold indicated below which has two transmitter sites listed at very minimal power levels.

Also BBC Radio 4 on 720 not often heard here , was mixing with the new catch from Iran at times.
