DX midAMerica NOTES/QUOTES!
Welcome to the DX dialogue/Roundtable page. These are basically comments or reactions sent at the end or along with your loggings to DX-midAMerica! Rather than going through everything posted, you can get a general "feel" for how things are, or have been of late, or what you might have missed! Comments will be kept up a few months as conditions change day to day and minute to minute!
A line will separate monthly entries:
Dec 06: A new DX logging always makes me feel better!
Dec 05: After horrendous cx yesterday, nice to have something to go after this day!
Dec 03: Into my 2nd week of a horrible flu-cold. Mucus, mucus, mucus. Phlem, Phlem, Phlem. Ugh!
Dec 2: They avoided capture for a long time John.
Nov 29: Nice hearing KAKK!!!! Others of course, one listens for minutes only to hear stn fade out. Go figure!
Nov 28: Really dead here.
Nov 27: Happy Thanksgiving John et al
Nov 26: Lots of sigs this morning, none of them peaking over any other one. Mumbling mush.
Nov 26: Two words for today: July like.
Nov 24: Looks like my local on 1300 kHz, WRDZ is back on the air. Heard them today with Rebel Radio programming. Decent signal. Checked FCC and they applied for STA using the tower at 4949 W. Belmont Avenue in Chicago with 1.125kW/1.0 kW ND. This tower was used in the past by WSBC 1240 and also serves as AUX antenna for WBBM, WSCR and several FM stations.
Nov 23: A-index 6.K-index at 1200 UTC on 23 November was 2.33. Most freqs dead, but wow, there were some hot-spots. This after a VG night of sleep: 2140-0425!!!!!
Nov 21: WELP log from other day. My scribble is so bad, I can't even read it. That's bad!
Nov 19: Nice, nice morning. WAOK was an example of a good stn. 5x calls were said vs so many who never said calls, etc!
If you go to a place, they'll say "welcome to ...." but radio can't do that? WAOK gets an A+ in my book.
Nov 18: Couple new Mexicans and one Texan is the result of latest DX.
Nov 16: Things started off slow and blah, but after 2200 it blew WIDE open! HJND was a little over 2600 miles from here! Though, I noted that Cuba seemed VERY few and far between; their normal pests were mostly MIA. This enabled me to hear stuff I otherwise wouldn't have been able to catch.
Nov 16: Everything was wavy this morning. Could hear the band fluctuating, or nothing anywhere. Not today, buy there are days you can't keep up with the dx. Past few days quite close!
Nov 16: AM was RED HOT Friday night. VERY decent night. Paid for it at work today, but hearing two new ones definitely made it worth it. That's why there's coffee!
Now 14: I was rewarded nicely by getting out of bed before sunrise. Snagged NINE new ones plus another from Tuesday night. Off to a Dr. appointment, shopping, then home to do yardwork. Topped off by a much needed nap.
Nov 14: What a great day tho started off slow. Glad I dragged myself out of ZZZZ, as AM band had nothing last night.
Nov 13:Horrible this morning. A-index 127.
K-index at 4.00. Good days & bad days. If you stayed ZZZZ, good!
Nov 13:Been 3years. Though I'd check in. Not great stuff, but will be active.
Nov 12:RED LETTER DAY!!!! So good to the S this morning, and a NEW log, and that's nice after 8000 years in the hobby, hi!
Nov 11:We had over 8" of snow from Sunday's storm and the power lines are singing with static. Despite that I managed two new ones.
Nov 11:Ironically, KMXO is // with KFJZ as heard in their online stream. How I logged both as new simultaneously is pretty odd.
Nov 11:Lack of signals this morning. Just the few listed. Back to ZZZZ.
Nov 07: WoW! No KXEL, nor WHO this morning. Many freqs w/nothing, but good to South. A-index 43. K-index 4.00
Nov 03: This started out slow, but really got to be good. Tried dx'ing last night and of course, there's the phone, hi! Will try again this evening.
Nov 02: SS on 870 760 no WJR, 690 but so many songs back to back.
Nov 01: Too busy to listen lately but one good new one.
Nov 01: The day of the "got aways"!!!! 770-SS, 860 C&W, 720 loud SS, no WGN! 1650 SS, 1480 3 songs-no talk.
