but no positive ID, will keep trying.
Good deal; you'll get it!

Yep, and TY!
Hadn't logged it since September. Spent about a half hour sitting on 332 the other nite waiting for BG to hopefully pop up, and got a real good long look at PH. Very strong at times.
AZ 371 has been missing now for a cupla weeks, as has RYV in WI. This has left a door wide open for YK in Yakima which has become a much easier catch.

Just don't know for sure, and I don't know of any NDB DXers who know what goes on up there with certainty.

« on: December 13, 2018, 0055 UTC »jf,
Tnx for the link, good stuff. Your noise floor about as bad as mine.
Have seen it drop as low as -125 dbm late night, early morning but that is unusual.
Some sigs will suddenly fade in and then just as quickly disappear so it pays to copy the ID right out of the box.
IDK, maybe D-layer refraction
What do you think ?
pv;
Just don't know for sure, and I don't know of any NDB DXers who know what goes on up there with certainty.

The floor varies here with time and freq, but generally falls between -95 and -115 dBm.
The SA logs come from deep searches in overnite SDR recordings. Knowing what the DST is doing gives major clues as to what to look for. I constantly refer to: https://www.hfunderground.com/propagation/
It is absolutely astounding how these weak ones pop up out of the noise for a few ID cycles, only to quickly disappear. Forensic DXing is tedious and mind-numbing work, but it is amazing how your DX blood will boil as you find that point in the recording at which a piece of visible lint or fuzz in the waterfall begins to resolve into an ID. I think it is also imperative to have fresh offsets for your search targets to aid in pulling things out of a pile up.

If you logged MA 391 and SF 382, you should have no problems with SI 279, KU 298, and UP 399, all of which are coming up with fair to strong signals lately in the 2300 to 0100 time slot. At times, these can be heard all night until local SR. Problem is, right now conditions are crap, but hopefully will be better soon. Beware that the UP USB is at +324.
