Anyone listened to NBC Port Moresby recently on 9675 khz? I've been
trying for them for the last couple of weeks, but without luck. Steve |

A few years ago, when I lived out West, I could hear them on 4890 and listened to them from time to time. Now that I'm on the East Coast, though, I haven't had much luck with them on that or any other frequency...even though I have a better setup on the whole. I'll keep trying over the next few days...

I am not going to cheat (if I was hitched,I wouldn't ''cheat'' on her)
and look it up first,but I think Port Moresby is in Australasia. I know a married woman (Mary,her hubby has his own carpentry construction business) in the Sydney area.She is originally from Kansas.She is about my age,plus or minus a few years.Sometimes she works at the ball game stadium.She once told me them Australian Cattle Dogs and other Dogs run around there and you wont find a farm or ranch in Australasia without at least one or more Australian Cattle Dogs. www.acdca.org www.cattledog.com cuhulin |

The only thing I can say for sure about DX'ing PNG's and Indo's (or most anything else, for that matter) is when propagation is possible then you'd best listen EVERY day, elsewise you'll miss that once in a season opening when the station you want to hear is reported by everyone else and YOU decided to sleep in! dxAce Michigan USA |

Quite correct, dxAce. Typical 1300 UTC s/off of the PNGs is over 2-1/2 hours
prior to our sunrise around December 1st. This is far from any local sunrise enhancement. We'll sometimes see a brief sunset-at-the-transmitter enhancement, though, around 0830 UTC. In the summer, with a West Beverage antenna at the coast, we'll get hets or weak audio from the PNGs starting up as early as 0715 when conditions are good.

Yes, I'm glad you mentioned that sunset-at-the-transmitter enhancement which can be quite interesting! I haven't stayed up that late nor have I gotten up that early in quite a while. Fun to park on the frequency and hear them rise right out of the muck for a bit then fade away again. Wish I still had all my issues of 'Proceedings' so I could peruse all the great propagation articles again! dxAce Michigan USA |

Fabulous QSL's there dxAce = well done.
Telemon may well have a point about the solar maximum. During the 1989/90 solar peak I had the best reception of really exotic stations that have never been repeated. Stations like Nandi, Kiribati, Cambridge Bay and others came in regularly plus many other wonderful stations, never to be heard again in later years. The solar peaks in later years produced nothing like that marvellous 1989/90 season. I've read up a lot about propagation, but have never seen it explained why that 89/90 season was so good and better than the rest. -- John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa South 33 d 47 m 32 s, East 20 d 07 m 32 s RX Icom IC-756 PRO III with MW mods Drake SW8 & ERGO software Sony 7600D, GE SRIII, Redsun RP2100 BW XCR 30, Braun T1000, Sangean 818 & 803A.

He was referring to the "Proceedings of Fine Tuning", a series of annual &
bi-annual books for the intermediate to advanced DX/SWL enthusiast. It was named "Proceedings" as it was patterned after the academic publications of universities, technical societies, etc. I was one of the editors of Proceedings from 1989-1996, but sadly Fine Tuning's DX newsletter is no longer. Proceedings specialized in very in-depth reviews and articles, written by expert DX hobby volunteers. The articles were much longer and more detailed than the typical monthly hobby bulletin piece. The Proceedings effort began in 1998 under the direction of top-notch DXer John Bryant. We arranged with the NASWA and ODXA clubs to offer article reprints from Proceedings, but only ODXA continues to offer the entire collection of articles. Check out their reprint list at http://www.odxa.on.ca/reprints.pdf We've talked about offering the entire series of Proceedings books on a CDROM sometime.
