Just back from Seefontein.
Ended up really great for me = another great catch, the last
of the day and session as the sun wiped out the signals:
1160khz 0502z 090319 "KSL" Salt Lake City UT with clear recorded ID,
15,558km's/9667miles away - another catch of a lifetime = really
thrilled.
Also 1040 WHO Des Moines IA (14200 km's away) and
1550 "CBC R.1" CBE Windsor Ontario
both not to be sneezed at


Full official sunrise was at 0449


Will write up the full DXpedition report in coming days.

- Very hard to believe with IBOC jamming on both
- KSL and WHO - perhaps, this is a misleading post
- about AM DX'ing and that IBOC 's interfernece is
- not detrimental.

LMFAO!

The digital saddlebags' interference can be heard from great
distances, but they only decode within tens-of-miles of the IBOC
transmitters. Great technology - destroy AM, and now FM with the 10db
power increase. At least IBOC has driven me away from listening to
terrestrial radio, and back to the few left on SW. I saw a post on
another board that the digiral signals coming out of Sacksville,
Canada on 9800 is causing a lot of adjacent-channel interference. But,
that is the plan for digital radio, in general - block adjacent
signals to force listeners to listen locally to the interference
generating signals.
