February 2002

Must have been a fine month but I got the flu and was off radio for two weeks. The other two weeks I only checked the MW a few minutes now and then even under fine reception conditions. More expedition like listening here at home probably would have resulted in a few more new ones.

  1 -   2.2  Nothing noted in my log but then I remembered something. JOB was here overnight on
                 February 2nd scanning while I had a good nights sleep!  He heard KLBP-1470, KKWY-1630
                 CJVB-1470 and some more early in the morning. When I checked in it was too late to hear
                 anything. Jan also heard "Radio Cadena Unica" on 1470. Then a mystery but now it is clear
                 this was XERCN Tijuana. More on JOB:s web site. See JOB on my links page.
          3.2  A very fine day. Best of this season?  I did not check or tape night or around sunrise.
                 Lots of interesting unid:s, like one with Spanish on 1400 and KSLM-1390 with sports, KVRI-
                1600 in some Indian language, CBR-1010 with Alberta weather. Same heard over CBX-740
                 but no formal local ID:s. KOFI-1180 and many more.
          4.2  A five minute check in the morning an one in the afternoon. May have missed a few ...
          5.2  Fair reception around midnight and around 07 UTC. The night may have been interesting?
  6 - 14.2  Nothing noted in the log. I got totally knocked out by the "Moscow" virus for a week and then
                 complications made listening impossible for another week. I do not know if I missed something.
15 - 16.2  Fair to good reception I guess. Checking only a few minutes each day.
17 - 18.2  Not much. Aurora.
        19.2  Probably a fine day but scanning only two hours this day.
20 - 24.2  Nothing in the log. A small proton disturbance only blocked out the NA signals for a few days.
        25.2  A couple of WA stations when checking a few minutes.
26 - 28.2  No listening but probably not too bad reception conditions.
