Can hardly pick up 5.975,
all other frequencies blank...


03.55 - BBC on 5.975 very "staticy", S-5. Listening equally
not-so-good
on most other stations in that meter band. I'm getting them all, but
lots of noise and hash tonight, no doubt.

Oddly, I am getting Radio Cima (El Suprrro!!!) from the Dominican
Republic
as good as I ever do at 4.960. It's never "quiet" but I can get it 3
nights out
of 4, which surprises me. Not that I'm complaining, I love the station.

I'm Pacific NW and Cima comes in weakly for an hour or so each night
(but not every night of course). I'd rather just once get Vanuatu on
the same freq... but it's good that I can get Cima at all. Just 1 kw I
think, and I don't have much of an antenna up for my R75 either. Seems
like an unlikely catch for being weak and a bit away.

Been this way for months, since I started fishing 4960.

Hi Tom:


Yes, Cima is 1,000W. Getting it at all where you are is a good catch
in anyone's book. I use the R-75 too, with (currently) a center-tapped
110 ft.
longwire.


On an exceptional night, I will get it here in Michigan about as
good as an AM station "in the next state over" from about 03:00 to their
sign-off. But that's exceptional. As I said, about 3 nights out of 4 I
get it easily identifiable, but predictably noisy.

Enjoyed your post!

Tony
