logs from Newfoundland, Canada April 24-26

Post by newfoundland dxer »

Hi everyone:

Despite limited listening time, it was still a fairly successful weekend here.

The big news was on medium wave. Friday night saw long, very deep fades and Relmus Radio peaked here at s5 for about 2 minutes, and several other fade ins were heard almost as well! On Saturday night, conditions were much more stable, and 5 pirates made the "big jump" with readable audio. (Thanks to Relmus and Iann for help with the IDs).

Also of note, a new QRP record for me, Channel Z with a 1.1w test (thanks for the tip Z).

After some advice from Mike and Klaus in the Chat, I finally figured out how to record from my radio Saturday, so stations can now expect audio files. :)

I heard that one drift in and out too.... given the frequency, I thought it might have just been a mischevous fisherman.

Anybody out there know who that was?

Cheers!
