Taitosaki MW DX-pedition in spring

 春の太東崎MW DXペディション   

    I enjoyed MW DX-pedtion with my friends of TDXC at Taitosaki on the seaward side of Chiba prefecture on March 21. The MW condition was not good. I checked the SDR data roughly after I came home and I could hear these regular MW stations of the U.S. as follows.  There were a lot of carriers on 10-kHz separation but the signal levels were weak. I wish the station on 1220kHz was KQMG.

3月21日にTDXCの仲間と千葉の太東崎でDXペディションを楽しみました。コンディションは良くなかったのですが、帰宅後、SDR記録ファイルをざっとチェックしたところ、下記の常連局とNBDが聴こえていました。10kHzセパレーションでキャリアは多数見えていましたが、なかなか音になりませんでした。1220kHzの局はKQMGだといいんですが。

Thank you jos_nqn-san for your comment. We hope to dig more MW DX stations in the U.S. from Japan this year.

Thank you Fumi-san. It seems then that you are hearing our west coast stations very early in your evening! How interesting. Some of these stations are my local pests!

Steve-san, I added the grey line zone on March 21 too. We were digging many MW TP-DX stations in the U.S. when we were in the zone.

Fumi-san thank you. Most interesting. Our usual best time for BC-Japan is just around our sunrise.
