Botswanna 9885 0508 utc
The EiBi skeds show VOA at 0500-0530 in Hausa to West Africa via
Morocco. dxAce Michigan USA Bingo. From 0300-0430, he *would have* had VOA via Botswana in English (After I posted, I headed over to EiBi as well). Not yet knowing exactly where he was when his timer read "9:08 pm" made the report just mysterious enough to make me wonder, despite the 0508 title time. As it turns out, he is in Miami, FL - which means that the "9:08 pm" reading on his post does not accurately reflect his location (0908 is Pacific Standard time). While being appreciative of luckydaze's tip, I was also hopefully making the point that to relay the most useful information, it is helpful if the reporter includes a few details about when and where he is. With worldwide subscription to this newgroup, these details can be important...but you knew that :-) After all is said and done, it is cool that Botswana photons reached your radio, luckydaze. Here in California, Africa requently puts in a better signal than Europe, despite its greater distance. Those polar disturbances can raise havoc. BJ |
