[BC] WTIR 1300 Was Heard in Miami!!

[Rob Atkinson]

i have been meaning to comment that, in case no one has noticed, the mw and 
hf bands have been in really good shape lately for dxing.    the K and A 
indexes have been real low, and sunspot activity has been way down.   also, 
in the eastern U.S. at least, a high pressure system has kept the atmosphere 
fairly quiet at night, meaning low thunderstorm static.    with longer hours 
of darkness, the combination has led to nice listening.  I have been getting 
up the past two days at 4 or 5 a.m. to talk to australia on the 40 meter ham 
band and getting good signal reports with a vertical dipole.

Hey everyone...

I was talking to a police officer friend of mine on the phone while he was
on regular patrol in Miami (incidentally, hes the one who operates Vybe 
Radio
1300AM) and we decided to do a little test.

We were on night power(I could see the transmitter for myself), I popped in
a CD with morse code on it and when I hit play, my friend said he could
CLEARLY  hear our morse code about 30 miles west of Miami.

Way to go Maurice!
