Yep the gt circle line color was a little "lite" on the maps :-)
Sounds more livelier this evening hearing ndb icw on the way home on 525 and Vancouver traffic station on 730khz
Laurence, thanks for the report! I've been busy today so I've not yet reviewed last nights data and because the WSPR maps are having a problem due to a Google API change, I had not noticed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! 73, John WG2XIQ/KB5NJD..
WG2XIQ EM12 @ 5000Kms was coming thru on WSPR 2, 475kHz from 08-1015Z yesterday (20th) - maybe (maybe) a very slight trace of a signal near 136.172 on the Over the pole setting
Seems Im picking up DX Christmas lights already from the far neighborhoods. :-(
Ill run both 136.17X and 137.77X windows tonight if I get a chance. Im just starting to build another Octoloop for 137 which will be about 100m from the present 74kHz unit - and away from the very large loop it sits in...
VLF over the pole is getting really good now with DHO38 peaking 35dB above my noise pre Eu dawn - and showing a nice 5dB 15 mins increase during that X1 flare yesterday - NWC that was just in light at the time had a 2dB increase as seen in Alaska (it was dark)
Conditions still arent that good for LF MF DX here - long recovery period, then another short hit to top up the attenuation
etc.
I did shove on 160m WSPR2 5W last night and got some rx/tx hits to VK2/6 but relatively short lived over a 13KKms path - but the West to South Sector is firing away from the Aurorally bit so always better -
Very cold here now and not getting above -20C during the day at home, though "warmer" here at the works QTH in Anchorage. Off to KH6 in a few days to thaw out
regards
Laurence KL7 L
