It's doing fine. I'm listening it right now. They're talking about Liberian
President Charles Taylor and the offer by Nigeria to offer asylum. I'm setting up my spam filters in anticipation of President Charles Taylor trying to confidentially contact me to help him funnel 50 Million U.S. dollars to a U.S. bank out of a Liberian bank.

I worked in Liberia for a few months a few years ago until the war
kicked up again. I know all those people and I'm wondering if I should look into going back! Had my YB400 with the wind-up antenna running out the window to a tree and it worked great. The radio was one the few thing I had to enjoy while I was there. I also had it in Egypt whit the antenna hanging out the fifth floor window. Shortwave radio and I go way back to The Nam where I got the news about America from "Radio Moscow" and the BBC. Funny, I was in Greece a few months ago and I had the YB400 with the antenna running out the balcony door to a nail in the wall and listened to the BBC. Watched the "World Series on CNN and watched some dirty flicks. A lot of my like is tied to my shortwave radio.

Some of you folk here are so frickin lame that you can't even understand
that there was a solar flare that wiped things out around that time. The absolute lameness of many of you here just totally amazes me... The number of posts here that have pointed out to anyone concerned of the propagation alerts that are available... it just blows my mind... Sunny beaches... if ya don't know what the hell is going on, then at least do a bit of study.... Larry Ozarow wrote: Brian Denley wrote: Nothing. It sounds great here in Boston.

The rest of the band was noisy but still working. That's the way the solar flare works... sudden fadeout... you should know that yourself. |

RHC, or something a lot like it was still coming in OK on 6 MHz. Pretty selective flare. Not necessarily selective... if you knew propagation, you might understand that the flare might disrupt e-w paths and not necessarilr n-s paths. At the same time the flare might disrupt short path signals, versus long path signals, and vice versa. Some other lamer on the group reported a BBC Antigua drop-out in 19 meters on Sunday, so I just figured maybe the same thing happened. Thanks for setting me straight. |

What a frickin dumbass you are... I didn't report a solar fadeout... I reported a transmitter fault.... the only 'lamer' is you Larry... There's a big damn difference between a transmitter fault and dropout and a solar fadeout or blackout... get back to us Larry when you get a grip on the difference. |

I'll get a better grip when you explain how to tell the difference when a signal suddenly disappears in the presence of other sigs from the same general area 125 kHz away. |

That would be a more convincing if Cuba and Antigua were a little farther apart than they actually are relative to New Jersey. Ahhhhh... New Jersey... explains it all... :-) |

Maybe it was a solar flare, maybe it was the perfidious Frenchmen, the fact is the BBC signal on 5975 cut out suddenly last night. Perhaps, all I profered up was a criticism of the fact that propagation should be checked, I think you took it to the other end of the spectrum.... My take on it... others may disagree. |

Morons do indeed know nothing about solar flares, would you like to argue that point? Maybe it was a solar flare, maybe it was the perfidious Frenchmen, Obviously you do not like, or have a dislike of Frenchmen... the fact is the BBC signal on 5975 cut out suddenly last night. Yes, it did, on that we can agree... |

Larry just does not understand that I've been DX'ing for a good number of years. I'd compare my credentials to his any day of the week. As George Bush has said: Bring it on. |

You still haven't explained your criticism of my report of some transmitter faults.... idiot... frickin retard... when you can report as well as I can... raise your hand... ---------------------------------------------------------- Hey genius let me ask you a question, why have you tuned this in to a flame war, is it because you have nothing better to do with your time? I dont killfile too many people but you are going to be one of the very few i am going to killfile I am a stranger in a very strange land YM josumer CYM josumner1964 |
The BBC on 49 meters went off several times but always came back a minute
later. After Burr wrote his post, I went to 5975 Khz and it was coming in loud and clear so I know it came back again. -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html "Larry Ozarow" wrote in message ...

YUP, That's about when I lost it. Stayed tuned for 15
minutes and it didn't come back so I turned it off. Burr I'm south a few days. Larry Ozarow wrote: Burr wrote: What has happened to the BBC on 5975??? Burr 5975 got clobbered last night around here (North Jersey), also some time after 0300. 9410 and 12095 were both working IIRC. Oz |
