NEWFOUNDLAND 2008 DXPEDITION – FIRST REPORT

Here is a first-glance report from our November 2008 Newfoundland DXpedition. Included are the highlights and most of our logs, but many recordings have not yet been listened to and many logs have not been written.

This DXpedition might have been the best of all the Newfoundland DXpeditions for high latitude conditions. Previously unheard stations like Rost, Norway on 675, Murmansk, Russia on 657 and Arkhangelsk, Russia on 918 were logged, with 675 Norway being strong and dominant at times! Many more new Russians, Belarussians and Ukrainians were also caught. Good high latitude conditions also gave us stunning Far East receptions. China was heard on at least 7 frequencies and Taiwan on 1. India-1467 was heard at sign-on for a very surprising reception. Perhaps a dozen new Iranians were found, including several unlisted outlets. From Africa, little of great interest was heard with the exception of good reception of Nigeria on 917. From South America, Brazil was back in good form with Brazilians across the entire dial including graveyard frequencies with power as low as 250 Watts.

We’ll issue a final log and full report in a month or two.
