Another day
in DX paradise, at least for some of us. Not so good cx towards the U.S but Orinoco and Cuban stations had pretty good signals.
Cx started
again early with some U.S.
stations, but signals were considerably weaker than yesterday. WNWC-1190 and WHGT-1590
were noted again but with weaker signals. Night was pretty OK, but we had to
get some sleep, so not much to say about cx.
In the
morning really strong signals (1520-WVOZ, 1250-R Viva, 1190-UCSG R, etc). At 09
UTC some FL-stations (850-WFTL, 1140-WQBA, etc). Then again U.S. with some common stations from
MN and westwards. After 12 UTC good cx to Alaska giving us finally 1330-KXXJ with
really nice signal.
We have
completed our second antenna building project and we now have 1000 meter
antenna towards South. The difference to antenna towards the North is huge.
Hopefully we will get a chance to test it with good cx to Africa .
So far no such cx.
We came up
with an old LURX scrapbook and found this unique photo, but we are not sure about
what this picture presents. Could it be;
a) The military wing of Team
LURX was condemned in the Great Team Work Trial of SDXL. Captain Morgan with
his sunglasses on the left, General Electric in his military uniform on the right,
Major Storm in the middle (again fallen in sleep with headphones on).
b) Perscheus-wideband
receiver (developed by German engineers) charmed already in the 1940’s: even
the head officers of the state were hooked on listening to these magic
recordings, even at work and even when it seemed obvious that they were loosing
their jobs. After the war every single unit of Perscheus-receivers were
destroyed so that mankind would never face again all the suffering caused by
them.
Maybe we
should get some more sleep again …
