Re: [HCDX] [NRC-AM] New TIS in Chicago area - WQFE239
Hi everyone:
You bet! It is very possible to pick up TIS in Europe, and I am
surprised that it hasn't happened more often. Before the more
westerly stations fade in there are DX opportunities to hear TISs on
channels like 1620, 1630, 1640, 1670, and 1700. These channels don't
have regular broadcast stations in the NE USA but are loaded with
TISs. The past few days I have logged several new non-local TISs on
1620 and 1640. Even after the regular broadcast stations start to
come in, they might fade down enough for a lucky DXer like Jim to
hear some TISs.
It might be worth a few shots for European DXers to try for these
stations on a beverage in a remote area like Lemmenjoki. I think it
is wonderful that Jim heard WQBR256. Maybe there are more such
catches out there. How about it?
