Newfoundland Medium Wave Logs Dec 9 - 11

[vo1-001-swl]

Hello To All,         



   Here are some recent logs during the past few days from the North Atlantic as good propagation continues with minimal solar disturbances .

The Solar K Index indicator has been zero or one for several days which has helped conditions as many of the frequencies on the AM dial have had second and third tier stations audible here in the "Hope".
About 30  big guns from New York, Boston and other locations  were audible in broad daylight still at 10 AM Newfoundland Time this morning with the Trans-Atlantics showing up by noon or so.

A good opening from the Russian regions occured at about 3 PM Local Time today which resulted in adding a few new ones to the logbook.
