Well, another interesting pre-dawn LW listening session here this morning. Logged nearly 100 NDBs. No more than turned on the rig and pulled in YSK 208 in Hudson Bay Nunavut... knew right then it was going to be a good morning.
Heard DF 350 Deer Lake Newfoundland and PN 360 Port Menier upper Quebec but that was it for the DX activity to the east.
Stations to the south were conspicuous by their absence. CLB 216 Carolina Beach, usually strong in here, was very weak. This time the action was all to the north and northwest.
Heard QD 284 The Pas and YQ 305 Churchill both Manitoba and VC 317 LaRonge Sasketchewan all in the DGPS band but coming in clear through the warble.
DX shot of the morning was ZP 368 Sandspit in the Queen Charlotte Islands off the coast of British Columbia... that's a 2300+ mile haul. Also heard in B.C. was NY 350 Enderby.
Other Canadians logged were: WG 248 Winnipeg, YBV 370 Berens River, and YL 395 Lynn Lake all Manitoba and YLJ 406 Meadow Lake Sasketchewan.
USA beacons heard: 3 in Minnesota LXL 359, DL 379, AIT 397 and 2 in Montana BKU 344 and GDV 410; as well as AA 365 Fargo ND.
The propagation was, well, HF like. Heard many NDBs here in Michigan, plus Ohio and nearby Ontario all undoubtedly groundwave but the long haul stuff to the northwest... my guess is skywave. What do you think?
