Title: DGPS Logs 16-17 Mar 2017
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on March 17, 2017, 1314 UTC
Sometimes I wonder if I really got a European station when I only get 2 or 3 decodes, or was it just noise? 75 decodes from Cabo Carvoeiro Lt, Portugal so I think it is real. Also a lot from the Azores, but no Madeira. Often I get both of those on the same night.

So now I get to wonder about Alaska. But two Alaskans turned up last night! So not only is that exciting, but I think it helps confirm it was real. And they appeared just before sunrise.

Level Island, Alaska:

Normally I get lots of logs from Partridge Island, like 40k. Very few last, so I checked the Canadian outage page:
Quote
Partridge Island      N006-17   
BROADCAST SITE IS OFF AIR AS OF 03/15/2017 14:38 Z UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

And of course the relative lack of Partridge Island is why I could hear Level Island, Alaska. There's nothing on 305 here, so whether or not I can hear Biorka only depends on whether it makes it here, not whether something else doesn't as well. I hope Partridge Island takes a while to get repaired.  ;D

Also a nice showing from Whidbey Island, although not nearly as many decodes as the night before. Also Richmond, which is tough here. Nothing from St. Louis, so it seems to be gone for good. Nor anything from Gatun.

Interesting that you got two Alaskans last night. I'm still processing, but so far (1930 UTC) have Hawaii, and four from Alaska (with one being questionable, but leaning towards valid).

Level Island came in booming here, 2475 decodes. But, Partridge Island is usually decent in here, so its probably blocking Level Island for the most part.


With low counts, its very hard to tell- not just with the way the messages are transmitted but also with co-channel stations.

Partridge Island is still listed on the Canadian site as off air, and I am not receiving it here, yay!  ;D

Louisville seems to be off the air as well. (290 kHz)

Louisville   869   0076-17   
BROADCAST SITE IS UNUSABLE AS OF 02/22/2017 16:37 Z UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.


No problem. Let's see what else is on 290.0 kHz.

I usually get Penobscot better, primarily due to angle from here (83 deg for Penobscot vs 136 deg for Louisville, and I'm using an antenna E-W, so this is hardly surprising).
