Thanks for the info Roelof - ver= y interesting - obviously =3Bthe ionosphere is very fickly =3Bas we= all know location specific - its just been awful here =3B:-( =3B <= BR> =3B
I was stationed at a small hut at the end of the runway @ CF= S Alert in 81 till =3BApril 82 when I was shipped off to the Falklands/= Antarctica following fatalities =3B- I think Ive got a photo of the 305= kHz  =3BNDB somewhere...
 =3B
I think your just crossing one= sector of the Auroral oval to get to Alert etc - though very Mag dependent= but I have to cross it twice to get to Eu most of the time -  =3BCerta= inly it was a strange location to be listening in with very low signal leve= ls at times=2C but there again the s/n could be very good too - just a heck= of a diode effect as I couldn't often be heard.
 =3B
 =3BIm just =3B looking at DCF39 138.83055ish at the moment - its =3B= still pre dawn here (suns up here around 1000am or so due to the mountains)= and its =3Babout 15dbs below audible threshold but clear at dot 60 - a= t least its there -
 =3B
The only dx path Im getting away with i= s between KL7 and KH6 just over 4000Kms on 475kHz WSPR - about an 85% Sea p= ath down the Pacific and the sea paths really (really) help a lot as well a= s firing away from the Au oval - etc
 =3B
Cheers and a belated ha= ppy thanksgiving to those that celebrate. Off to VE6 on Monday and Ill have= the rx gear with me.
 =3B
Tell me if you start hearing ICW on 52= 5kHz about 300 miles up the road - then Ill know its open!!

>=3B Hello Laurens=2C
>=3B
>= =3B So far T/A propagation has been about the worst I have experienced for =
>=3B years.
>=3B However=2C since a week ago=2C I have daily re= ception of LT-305=2C Alert=2C CAN NU
>=3B at 82 degrees north.
&g= t=3B Today I had even aural copy already around my sunset.
>=3B
&g= t=3B I found that propagation from the north recovers often quicker than fr= om
>=3B lower T/A latitudes.
>=3B It sounds weird=2C but it sim= ple is what I find.
>=3B Last night=2C I heard 6 NDB's from Nunavit=2C= whilst NAVTEX on 518 kHz from
>=3B Puorto Rico was completely absen= t=2C which is rare. An other proof of
>=3B enhanced propagation from= the north is reception of NAVTEX 518 kHz from
>=3B Svalbard. A rare= bird here=2C so to speak.
>=3B
>=3B Looking at the current stat= e of propagation=2C reception of Joe's=2C VO1NA=2C
>=3B OP8 signal i= n Europe by quite a few listeners is short of amazing!
