Propagation is doing one of its fun things tonight.

15.000 MHz - 0100 UTC - WWVH, Hawaii, is coming in well and actually
overpowering WWV in CO.

Not all that unusual. I can hear WWVH on 10 MHz here as well. I don't
think that WWVH can actually 'overpower' WWV as the time announcements
themselves are co-ordinated so that they don't interfere with each other.

On good nights you can get The Pacific and East Asia very well in the
15 mHz and 17 mHz bands.

Voice of Russia 17690 is coming in well right now.

And I have a positive ID on it here in Hartford, MI, not far from
Holland. Prop can indeed do marvelous things sometimes. In March of
1964 (I was 13) I was MW DXing with a 5 tube Admiral table radio. One
evening, for ten magical minutes, I pulled, and got a positive ID on, an
AM station in Denver Colorado that Whites told me was 5,000 watts - 1100
miles from my home at that time in Detroit! The one and only time that
happened, but I never forgot it.

Off topic here, but still along the lines of great conditions, there's a thread
on the NRC (National Radio Club) list of a gent back in 1965 parked off the
coast of Vietnam on a ship, who picked up WBZ in Boston on the AM band ... loud
and clear.

How would you like to be THAT guy??

Late New Zealand DXer Arthur Cushen used to routinely pull in stuff like
that. As I recall, he once said the only state he hadn't had much luck with
was Maine...

think that WWVH can actually 'overpower' WWV as the time announcements
themselves are co-ordinated so that they don't interfere with each other.

True, the announcements are spaced so that each can be heard distinctly,
most of the time, but a week or so ago I noticed that WWVH on 15000 was
coming in much more strongly than usual, while WWV was buried. This was
about 0300-0400 in Southern California. I hadn't heard WWVH at such a
signal strength before. This was a surprise, particularly since WWV is
rarely so dim.

Just when I think I know where propagation patterns are headed something
unexpected happens. For the past couple of evenings my favorite
Scandinavians have been coming in clean after some grungy reception in the
previous week (R. Denmark, 11635 at 0100-0200; Finland at 13730/11990 same
time); but last night they dropped clean away into hash at about 0130. And
V. of Turkey (11885) died about the same time. I didn't check the numbers
but I assume some solar activity was afoot.

Is this their Turkish language xmsn with all the great music? I haven't
tried that freq lately.

PS, what's happening in the Beatles NG? Haven't been by there lately...
