	     The October 1995 Newfoundland DXpedition 
	       "Brazil Nuts" or "Of Moose And Men"

Musings by Jean Burnell, Dave Clark, Mark Connelly, Neil Kazaross, 
and Jim Renfrew, narrated by Bruce Conti.

		    ***************************

     Once again, the Lawlor's Hospitality Home in Cappahayden, 
Newfoundland was converted into "The DX Inn" as DXers from the 
United States and Canada descended upon this north Atlantic coastal 
community for a week of unparalleled DX.  Plans for this 8 - 15 
October DXpedition began taking shape shortly after the results of 
a successful Spring '95 NF DXpedition were published.  Jean Burnell 
of St. John's, NF took care of all the initial arrangements for what 
was to be the largest group yet since these DXpeditions began back 
in 1991.  Much of the planning was facilitated by e-mail communications, 
as participants in this and previous NF DXpeditions bounced their ideas 
and intentions off each other.  The following are the accounts of the 
individual October '95 NF DXers in addition to my own comments, 
beginning with DXpedition coordinator Jean Burnell.

		    ***************************

Jean Burnell:
     "This was the fourth "Newfoundland DXpedition" for which I played 
"host", but each event has been very different from the others.  This 
DXpedition had the largest contingent of DXers, and we were active for 
longer than before.  I am very grateful to my wife, Stephanie Kaiser, 
for helping me get everything ready, and for ferrying thousands of 
meters of wire, receivers, a table, food, etc. to Cappahayden.  
I thought the effort was worth it !  It was a lot of fun to DX 
again with the veterans of previous DXpeditions (Neil Kazaross, 
Bruce Conti, and Mark Connelly), and it was a pleasure to welcome 
two new NewfounDXers (Jim Renfrew and Dave Clark).  The quality 
of the DX was very good, also.  The highlights for me were the 
unprecedented numbers of Argentineans and Uruguayans, the ever-
challenging low-powered Brazilians, and the exciting run of Kenyans 
we bagged on the last evening.  I was pleased finally to have a solid 
log of Macedonia on 810 kHz, which was only a very tentative 10-second 
log during NF DX II back in 1993.  Dave Clark and I also indulged in 
an occasional foray into the tropical bands.  We were rewarded with 
a suite of 60 and 90-meter All India Radio stations, including the 
outlet in Gangtok, which "counts" as the DX country Sikkim.  I was 
once again disappointed by our inability to log Chile, and I was 
somewhat surprised that we were unable to receive either Finland 
or the Faroe Islands.  My hardware-highlight was a new Drake R8A 
receiver that arrived during this DXpedition, but it meant that 
I was doing a lot of fumbling with the unfamiliar controls during 
the last couple of nights.  My logbook is evidence that my lack 
of familiarity with the Drake affected my DX productivity, but 
I don't think I missed any major catches because of this.  
Overall, another A-plus outing !"

		    ***************************

     As Jean mentions, a couple of countries key to reaching the 100-
country goal were missed.  The entire team ganged-up on 531 kHz on a 
couple of mornings with the hope of hearing the Faroes sign-on.  
But the slightly auroral conditions combined with interference from 
Spain on 531 kHz and Radio Vision Cristiana on 532 kHz nixed our 
chances.  Bulgaria is a supposedly easy-to-hear country that never 
made the logs.  I sat on 1224 kHz a couple of nights hoping to hear 
the VOA relay that was logged in '93, or at least something parallel 
to a Radio Bulgaria foreign service shortwave frequency; no such luck.  
1060 kHz also consumed a lot of my time in the quest for Chile.  
Brazil and Venezuela were eventually identified on 1060, and hints 
of Mexican-style music occasionally squeaked through, but Chile 
remained an unheard target.  Despite the missed stations, we still 
logged 95 countries, 3 more than our previous (1993) record of 92 
countries.
	
     Another "hardware-highlight" had to be the ICE active antenna 
splitters.  First introduced to NF DXpeditioning by the Spring '95 
team, these maximized efficiency and flexibility by allowing DXers 
to select available antennas without disrupting each others monitoring 
activities.  When conditions were hot in one direction, all of us 
could jump in on the action, sharing the south or the "Euro" wires.  
Even phasing and regenerative tuning were performed on shared antennas 
without interference.  I now consider the active antenna splitters 
indispensable tools for all future group mediumwave DXpeditions.  
Thanks to John Bryant for the loaners, and to Jean for his additional 
just-in-time purchase.
	
     Newfoundland DXpedition alumnus Neil Kazaross was the first to 
arrive.  Jean and Neil had installed the requisite European and 
Brazil Beverages at Cappahayden on Sunday, 8 October, for the 
first night of DX.  They were both already logging the exotic 
by the time I arrived later that night.  Neil championed efforts 
to log low-power Brazilians, to the extreme of extending the Brazil 
Beverage length to over one-mile (2 km) for the following night !  
However, poorer than expected performance prompted an inspection 
the next morning, whereby it was discovered that the extension 
was dragged off-course by a moose during the night.  Although Neil 
had been quite successful with a mile-long Beverage when he used 
to have a residence in Rhode Island, the Brazil Beverage was 
restored to its original 1 km length for the remainder of the 
DXpedition, fearing that anything longer would once again be 
damaged by moose or hunters.

		    ***************************

Neil Kazaross:
     "Once again it was a DX pleasure to travel to Cappahayden and 
DX with my old friends Jean, Mark, and Bruce, and meet some new ones, 
Dave and Jim.  Clearly this is a special DX spot, far, far away from 
most locals and resulting in many clear frequencies where very distant 
low powered DX could be heard.  The combination of long Beverage 
antennas up to 3280-feet (1 km) and sea gain is what allows 
250-watt Brazilians to be heard on many channels like 1550 and 
1590 kHz, and also allows word-perfect arm chair copy of hundreds 
of TA's.  In the mid 80's I had the pleasure of a seacoast Beverage 
home in Ogunquit, Maine.  But this site, due to lack of QRM, blows 
Maine away.  Once again I leave there in awe of seacoast Beverage 
antennas and wishing I had a square mile farm here in Illinois, 
to put up more antenna length than my 200-meter wires.
	
     "I spent most of my DX time chasing rare and difficult DX like 
Brazilian graveyarders and didn't bother to listen to the easy stuff.  
For me it's the thrill of the rare log that would be impossible most 
anyplace else at a comparable distance.  Conditions this time were 
not very auroral, but I still think this was the best South American 
DX yet, and I loved the many Argentina and Uruguay loggings we got.  
African DX was not as good as the first time here (1991 DXpedition), 
when a huge aurora wiped out many of the European pests, but it still 
was great to hear Botswana.
	
     "Thanks to the magic of e-mail, I will often be talking to my 
friends from this DXpedition, but I doubt I will have the pleasure 
of seeing many of them 'til Newfie-5, whenever that may be !"

		    ***************************

     Neil also experimented with a Byan remote-controlled termination 
antenna system I installed in a southerly direction at Cappahayden.  
The antenna system is named after its originator, fellow DXer Steve 
Byan, who developed a method of being able to vary the terminating 
resistance at the end of the wire by remote-control from the DX 
shack, using an incandescent vactrol as a termination device.  
Some experimentation with ground radials at the termination and 
lead-in noise reduction resulted in successful field test of this 
concept.  Neil fine-tuned the termination from the comfort of the 
shack to add to his Brazil loggings, and we both demonstrated 
significant nulling of local stations in both day and night 
conditions.  Expect to see more on this concept in the DX press, 
as more DXers become familiar with the system.
	
     I picked up Jim Renfrew at the airport on Monday, the second 
official day of the DXpedition.  For Jim, it was his first time, 
reminding me of the DX overdose I experienced on my first Newfie 
DXpedition.

		    ***************************

Jim Renfrew:
     "Hearing stations from countries as diverse as India, Belarus, 
South Africa, Ascension Island, and Paraguay (not just once but 
almost every time we tried for them) reveals the amazing potential 
of this Newfoundland site.  In just one week, I personally logged 
over 300 stations, from almost 90 countries.  I have logged half 
that many countries in 20 years of DXing from Rochester, NY, so 
it was absolutely breathtaking to spin the dial and find rare DX 
in almost every direction.  It's been a bit depressing returning 
to Rochester DXing, because it is almost impossible to recover 
the same constant thrill that was present in Newfoundland.
	
     "When I first walked into the DX room and plugged antennas 
into my radio, the DX was so overwhelming it was hard to know where 
to start !  Should I just methodically work up the dial for an 
initial bandscan ?  Should I work the TA Beverage or the Brazil 
Beverage ?  Should I just follow the lead of others as they hunt 
for particularly enticing stations ?  In practice, I did all 
three !  My logbook shows Brazilian logs next to Asian logs and 
back again to Brazil.  A simple throw of the antenna switch would 
produce an entirely new band of unduplicated DX.
	
     "Living in a city home, I have had no previous experience 
stretching out Beverages, so it was a privilege to see some 
experienced DXers do it right.  Jean, Neil, and Bruce laid out 
the Cappahayden wires before I arrived, but the following day 
at Renews I had the chance to work with the team in laying out 
two Africa Beverages through the bush, complete with the sound 
of gunshots in the near distance, and at least two moose carcasses 
along the Beverage lines !  The Renews operations were slightly 
disappointing, however, because we got "moosed" the first night, 
and then two nights later we discovered that hunters had damaged 
the wires.  It wasn't too big a problem, because I later heard 
just about everything I heard at Renews, at Cappahayden.
	
     "I enjoyed being in the DX "moose-pen" at the Lawlor's with 
the others.  You should have seen us all attacking a single 
tantalizing target with varied approaches.  Some played with 
all of the receiver buttons to lift up the signal, some busily 
consulted various DX lists, others hunted WRTH medium and shortwave 
parallels.  Some could pick out languages well, some could name 
songs, some stuck with the prime frequency waiting to summon others 
at ID time, while others roamed to still new targets in the meantime.  
DXing by committee is a very efficient process !
	
     "Particular loggings that will long be remembered include 
India on 1566 kHz when Dave found a shortwave parallel just before 
sign-off; Paraguay on 920 kHz which I heard at 0900 UTC after 
everyone else had gone to bed; Kenya on 1044 and 1233 kHz which 
caused Dave to jump up and whoop like the home team had scored a 
come-from-behind touchdown; Uruguay on the North American graveyard 
frequency of 1400 kHz logged after a bunch of others from that 
country (when Jean recalled this one had been heard in Europe, 
we tuned in and there it was); hearing Brazil and Uruguay on 
810 kHz with the same soccer game in different languages (with 
Colombia also on 810 kHz featuring its game with Paraguay!); 
the list could go on and on . . .
	
     "Little did I know that my equipment situation would dramatically 
improve during the course of the week.  Bruce installed the Kiwa mods 
that I've carried around for two years to my Sony ICF-2010 on the 
second day for a vast improvement, and on the last day I became 
the proud owner of Mark's Drake R8.

     "In the 29 years I have been DXing, I have met a handful of 
DXers.  My weekend work schedule as a Presbyterian minister keeps 
me from attending most gatherings of DX clubs, so it was a real 
treat to meet Jean, Mark, Bruce, David, and Neil for the first time.  
Thanks, guys, for a memorable experience.  And special thanks to 
Jean who did so much prep work in advance !"

		    ***************************

     Wow !  Jim finally got to hear the DX that he's been typing up 
from others for DX News over the years as the NRC magazine's 
international column editor.  Regarding the recovery period after 
NF, I believe it's a common experience shared by all NF DXpedition 
participants, past and present.  This was my second time, and it 
was still difficult for me to come down from such a DX high!
	
     ODXA columnist Dave Clark arrived on Wednesday, adding yet 
another dimension to the pool of talent as the second Newfie freshman.  
When Dave heard something new and exotic, one could imagine the whole 
Avalon Peninsula being awakened by his uninhibited outbursts !

		    ***************************

Dave Clark:
     "I have DX'ed TP's from the West Coast on several occasions 
with John Bryant and others, so in some sense I knew what to expect.  
But this opportunity to DX TA's and the deeper South Americans from 
this outstanding East Coast site was still very much an eye-opener 
and a novelty for me.  I must acknowledge that I am grateful that 
Jean didn't give up on me, having kept me on his invite list since 
these DXpeditions first began in 1991.  I finally made it.  Now 
I can hardly wait for a return engagement of Cappahayden capers !
	
     "I was only able to be on-site from the early evening of 
October 11th (again thanks to Jean for picking me up at the airport) 
until the early morning of October 15th when I hitched a ride back 
to the airport with Bruce.  Thus I conveniently circumvented any 
duties associated with rolling out or reeling in any of the Beverages 
at the two sites that were so important to our collective success. 
Next time !
	
     "I came home reflecting not only on some of the marvellous DX 
I was able to record and get into my logbook, but also feeling like 
I'd only scratched the surface of what might be heard, given more 
time under a variety of propagation conditions and with better 
advance planning on my part.  So much to hear ... so little time.
	
     "I soon became immune to the higher power Europeans rolling 
up to local-like strength by 2 PM local time, even in mid-October, 
and it was on to more interesting DX signals.  A few years ago 
from my inland Ontario location, I was lucky enough to log most 
of the low-power Radio For The Print-Handicapped stations from 
Australia before they moved from their clear channel out-of-band 
frequencies of 1620 and 1629 kHz.  Yet I was absolutely startled 
to hear how any number of 250 watt Brazilians were fighting it 
out for dominance on many of the higher in-band graveyard channels. 
The manner in which the 500 watt BBC Ascension relay came rolling 
in on 1485 kHz was amazing too.  An all-water path coupled with 
Beverages oriented in the right direction certainly works wonders.
	
     "It seems only my abominable lack of proficiency in Portuguese 
limited the number of Brazilians I could put into the log, at least 
not without extensive further reviews of my tapes.  Much the same 
could be said for my Spanish, considering the incredible number 
of deep South Americans from Uruguay and Argentina that were there 
for the picking.  In spite of bothersome and uncharacteristically 
high static levels that we experienced on two of the nights I was 
present, the equinoctial season surely was an important contributing 
factor to the ideal trans-equatorial propagation that was evidenced 
every day.  Only Chile, a much sought-after target for us all, 
was distinguished by its absence.
	
     "Most of my DXing from home has, for some years, been focussed 
on the Tropical Bands, with Asians and Africans being favoured 
targets.  And so, hearing All India Radio, at times with a 
steamroller signal on 1566 kHz, was a special treat, notwithstanding 
its high power transmitter; likewise for my singular catch from 
South Africa.  The crowning touch for me, and I think for the 
others of our DXpedition team too, fittingly came on the final 
evening.  East Africa constitutes a long and relatively difficult 
path, even on the Tropical Bands.  Just imagine our collective 
reaction (manifest in the extreme by my own personal outburst 
of exuberance!), when Kenya Broadcasting Corporation opened up 
its General Service morning transmission with a good steady signal 
on 1386 kHz.  This was an opening to be exploited to the fullest 
and within minutes, Jean and I set about looking for other 
parallel channels.  The fact that several more KBC signals were 
poking through on other predominantly QRM'ed frequencies was the 
ultimate reward.
	
     "The old adage which attributes the whole as greater than the 
sum of the parts certainly holds true in my mind. I think our 
collective achievement during Newfoundland DXpedition-IV is a 
tribute to the common sense of purpose, teamwork and good old-
fashioned comradeship amongst a group of truly dedicated and 
experienced DXers.  To Jean, our host, and to Mark, Bruce, Neil 
and Jim whom I met for the first time in person, I say thanks 
and let's do it again!"

		    ***************************

     Upon Mark Connelly's arrival, some of us noticed that the 
Drake receivers were given preferential treatment.  The  table 
that Jean and Stephanie purchased for the DXpedition had become 
the exclusive domain of the Drakes.  Next time, guys, I'm bringing 
a Drake R8A to reserve my place at the table !  Actually, it was 
all in good fun.  Space was tight with the 6 DXers and equipment 
sharing the same room.  But we all worked well together, regardless 
of the limited space and other adversities, as Mark attests in his 
summary.

		    ***************************

Mark Connelly:
     "I arrived in Newfoundland on Thursday, 12 October.  Other DX 
team members Jean Burnell, David Clark, Bruce Conti, Neil Kazaross, 
and Jim Renfrew were already on the scene.  Some had been at the 
Inn since Sunday the 8th.  The Cappahayden site had been set up 
with the usual European, (east) Brazilian, and Deep South America 
Beverages.  About 10 km / 6 miles north of the DX Inn, a site in 
Renews (near the lighthouse) was used again.  In 1991, that site 
provided superb African reception.  The two main "guns" at Renews 
were Beverages pointed towards northern Africa and towards southern 
Africa.
	
     "On Thursday evening, I tuned the band on the car radio as I 
drove Route 10 along the rugged and beautiful coastline from 
St. John's to Cappahayden.  Northern Europeans such as Norway-1314 
and Sweden-1179 were strong at times, but they were sometimes covered 
by Spaniards running considerably less power.  Early on, highband 
USA domestics such as WBBR-1130, WEZE-1260, WNRB-1510, and WQEW-1560 
were very strong.  It was evident that conditions were a good deal 
less auroral than during the total high-latitude blow-out of the 
November 1991 DXpedition.  However, high-latitude stations had 
considerably less punch than in October 1993 when blockbuster 
signals from Finland-963, Faroes-531, and other far-north 
transmitters were abundant.  The conditions, therefore, were 
intermediate between those of the two previous autumn DXpeditions.  
That was good news in a way: any northern countries lost to poorer 
propagation on these routes would be offset by better reception of 
African countries that were heard in 1991 but were absent in 1993.
	
     "It was about 9 PM local (2330 UTC) when I arrived at the DX Inn.  
This was the first time I had ever met David Clark and Jim Renfrew.  
We, of course, knew of each other through our DX activities and 
frequent e-mail correspondence.  It was great to meet Dave and Jim 
in person to share conversation and "communal" DXing at what is 
arguably the best DX QTH in North America.
	
     "On this trip, all of us met at least one of other DXpeditioners 
for the very first time in person.  The six of us took over all the 
rooms at the DX Inn.  The room chosen as the "DX shack" got quite 
crowded with people and gear.  Some DXers were there up to a week 
away from their families and hometown friends.  Some had worked 
very hard to put up Beverage antennas under challenging weather 
and terrain conditions.  Occasionally, the sewer pipes didn't work.  
Moose collided with Beverages at least once.  Hunters were prowling 
the woods, sometimes shooting "for the hell of it", it would seem.  
Good food and adequate sleep were in short supply.  One would expect 
that some of these factors would cause arguments and dissension 
among the "troops".  This was most definitely not the case.  
The six of us got along as well as if we had gone through college 
together and knew each other's families.  When it was DX time, 
the group operated as a well-oiled machine.  We all bounced 
suggestions of "hot" frequencies and ideas about unidentified 
stations off each other.  Off hours (such as lunchtime at the 
local eatery in Fermeuse) were times of animated discussions 
of many topics, not always related to radio.  The people I met 
came from different and interesting walks of life and they all 
had much to say.  This was certainly not a gathering of single-
minded, one-dimensional techno-nerds.
	
     "Daytime was often "Tool Time" in Cappahayden as a gaggle of 
gadgets went through "battlefield testing".  Gerry Thomas and 
Dallas Lankford may not have been with us, but their innovations 
of delay-line phasing and noise-reducing transformers helped our 
DX efforts in a big way.  Bruce Conti did some very worthwhile 
experiments with the new Steve Byan remote Beverage-termination 
system.  The system worked very well and Neil went home all fired 
up to set up such terminators on his Beverages in the suburbs of 
Chicago.  Jean did some tests with his newly-acquired JPS ANC-4 
and the results were promising.  The unit reduced LORAN chatter 
and served to quiet the hash from local power lines.
	
     "Each DXpedition has certain similarities, yet each is a unique 
experience.  From "Newfie 4", I'll remember the local-like reception 
of India-1566 that we all enjoyed listening to for quite a while.  
The music was a great source of auditory pleasure.  Every time I DX, 
I want to find something worth listening to for entertainment value.  
The Africans certainly did it for me in 1991, British locals were 
a highlight in 1993, and the awesome signal and programming from 
India-1566 did the trick for me in '95.  This time around, I also 
got a charge out of Israel-1206 and South Africa-846; these were 
first discovered by the May 1995 crew (Bryant / Burnell / 
Funkenhauser / Hakiel).  The in-your-face signal from Radio 
Tropical-1190 in Natal on Brazil's eastern tip seems like it 
will be a sure thing for me to get the next time a heavy aurora 
finds me on Cape Cod or Cape Ann.  Ditto for that Brazilian split 
on 1435.  The run of east Africans towards the end of the DXpedition 
will be indelibly etched in my memory.  Newfoundland newcomers 
David Clark and Jim Renfrew went crazy like kids let loose in 
a candy store.  Their skill and enthusiasm materially improved 
our country-count.  One would think that the rest of us - veterans 
of previous efforts - would be jaded.  This could not be further 
from the truth.  We ho-hummed some of the pest Spaniards, of course, 
but we still scanned each channel with a sense of wonder and 
fascination.  Time and time again, the hard work done by the 
early-arrivers paid us all bountifully.  The stations heard on 
the southern Beverages were so different from what was heard 
on the northeastern ("Euro") Beverages that you'd think you were 
listening to two different bands on two different nights from 
locations hundreds of miles apart.  The directionality of these 
antennas was astounding.  The 1 km Brazil Beverage gave receptions 
that one could convincingly claim to be made from a boat within 
view of the lights of Fortaleza.  As in 1991, the number of strong 
250-watt highband Brazilians was mind-boggling.  Some DXers, such 
as Neil, sat on messy Brazilian graveyard frequencies and bagged 
multiple stations in succession on a single channel.  I must admit 
that this is DXing above my level of endurance.  Hour after hour 
of listening to low-fidelity reverberated Brazilian Portuguese 
shouting rising and falling through a swirling maelstrom of 
similar metallic-audio stations and a din of static crashes 
takes a level of skill, patience, and fortitude beyond what 
I have to offer the hobby.  Luckily, although it's a dirty job, 
someone stepped forward to do it.  I concentrated more on TA's 
myself, always looking for new possibilities to hear back home.  
Previous trips had been very beneficial in putting the spotlight 
on stations that were subsequently hunted down successfully from 
sites along the Massachusetts coast.  Off-frequency stations 
(non-9-kHz TA's and non-10-kHz Pan-Americans) are a big interest 
of mine and I took note of every one I could find.  The old-plan 
channel Angolans that are marginally audible at home through a 
gauntlet of slop came through with crystal clarity on the big 
Beverages.  

     "The logs from this and previous Newfoundland DXpeditions are 
every bit as valuable a reference as the World Radio-TV Handbook 
when I go out on mini-DXpeditions to Rockport, Rowley, and Harwich.
	
     "The waning hours of the DXpedition on Saturday night included 
popping open some Black Horse Ale to celebrate.  A photo, audio 
interview, and video session added some levity and then it was 
right back to business with a wild ride through Kenya that might 
go down as the Big Event of the October 1995 trip.  By Sunday 
morning (15th October), the show was over and Bruce, David, 
and I had to depart the DX Inn in the pre-dawn hours for the 
nearly 2-hour drive back to the St. John's airport.  Jean, 
Neil, and Jim did the antenna dismantling as the rest of us 
jetted home.  The DXpedition was a resounding success.  
The friendships renewed and begun will endure long after the 
log reports have been published, read, digested, and filed away 
in dusty archives.  "Newfie 4" was a great experience.  Other 
DXers, wherever they may live, should join up with some of their 
buddies to try similar activities.  It will add an important 
social dimension to this often solitary hobby."

		    ***************************

     "Let's do it again!" has been the common call after every 
Newfoundland DXpedition.  The alumni of this and past DXpeditions, 
along with more new faces, will undoubtedly join forces again in 
the future for totally new and exciting Newfie experiences.  
Upon departure, with the echoes of a thrilling week of DX fresh 
in our minds, we dreamed of someday purchasing the Lawlor's 
Hospitality Home and turning it into a permanent DXpedition 
site.  May these accounts and the extensive loggings inspire 
others to do as Mark has suggested, and turn their dreams into 
reality through the culmination of more DXpeditions both here 
and abroad!  73 & good DX.

 Trumpet fanfare and music with interjections by man in PP with 
 possible "Libertad" station reference at 0210 - 2 listed
 candidates.                                                        

1572.6  unID het - 14 OCT, 2115
 
1579.8  BRAZIL, unID - 11 OCT, 2301 - PP talk by man and good signal; 
 some slop from another unID ZY on nominal 1580, also a good signal.
 + 12 OCT, 2135 - These same two channels again occupied with good
 signals: man announcer with vocals on 1579.8; fast-paced announcer 
 on 1580 with mention of frequency at 2138.                         

1590  BRAZIL, R. Santa Cruz AM, ZYJ614, Santa Cruz (1/0.25 kW) - 
 11 OCT, 2304, 2355-2358 - in well, atop others w/ local mentions 
 at 2304 and again loud and clear with a long ad string for local 
 businesses 2355-2358 after Brazilian music.  This was one of the 
 strongest Brazilian graveyarders. <R> + 12 OCT, 2130 - Talk, 
 maybe news by man to 2134 when clear ID, further talk with
 local mention.  Very good with another unID Brazilian well below. 
		 
1600  PUERTO RICO, R. Luz, WLUZ, Bayamon (5 kW) - 9 OCT, 0256 - good 
 w/ call ID in SS and Puerto Rico mention. + 15 OCT, 0309 - With 
 call letter and slogan above WUNR.  
 
1610  ANGUILLA, Caribbean Beacon, The Valley - 11 OCT, 0335 - With

 NFLD-IV - PROPAGATION CONDITIONS (from David Clark)

 It struck me that it might be worth tabulating solar/geomagnetic
 conditions during the period bracketing our exploits.  Perhaps the
 fact that conditions were moderately active preceding the start of 
 the DXpedition and for much of the ensuing week explains absence 
 of some far Northern Europe (e.g. Finland, Faroes), albeit Norway 
 and Sweden were OK.  I guess we would say that conditions weren't 
 distinctly auroral, however, given good presence of most of Europe, 
 yet decent representation of southern tier Africans and plethora 
 of deep South Americans suggests some degree of trans-equatorial 
 enhancement too.
 
 Equinoctial season could be part of the answer; I think the relatively
 active conditions through much of our listening period were a factor 
 too.  Most of this was attributable to a recurring coronal hole 
 disturbance.
 
 Note that K index was = 4 at 0000 on 13 OCT, the first evening of
 AIR reception (initial strong presence noted circa 2345 on the 12th)
 and I feel that was the strongest showing of all, even though it was
 present on subsequent evenings too.
 
 It's also interesting that solar flux climbed up to a peak of 92 on
 12 OCT.  There was an M1 solar flare at 0605 on the 12th, followed
 by an M4 flare at 0504 on the 13th. 

 By comparison, conditions actually became quiet for our last two days;
 I wonder how that correlates to our 14th reception of South Africa-846
 and our subsequent Kenyan opening following on UT evening of the 15th?

 The sum of it all is that I don't see any distinct patterns but this
 being my first Newfoundland experience, I have nothing to compare 
 against.  Perhaps Jean or Mark might have further comments ? I recall 
 Mark's initial post-DXpedition observations seeming to suggest that 
 conditions as reflected in reception patterns were somewhere "in the 
 middle".

 Anyway, I've tabulated this data in case anybody thinks it's worth
 including as a point of reference for others reading about our results.
 I meant to record the estimated Planetary 'A' indices as well but I 
 forgot to get them off the Boulder bulletin board in time. For the
 short range condition indicator, I get the Ottawa K indices from the
 Geological Survey boys in Ottawa - they seem more meaningful for us
 than the Boulder K values. Short term conditions were quite volatile,
 especially during the darkness hours, at least up until the 13th.

	   DOMESTIC BANDSCAN from EASTERN NEWFOUNDLAND

      The following is a list of easily-heard night-time domestics
 logged from 12 to 15 October, 1995 by Mark Connelly and Jim Renfrew
 during the Newfoundland DXpedition.  Some of the stations were heard 
 from the DXpedition site in Cappahayden; others were noted on the car 
 radio when driving on Route 10 between Cappahayden and St. John's.

      Predictably, the stations from eastern Canada, New England,
 and New York were strongest.  WWWE and WWVA were the loudest non-
 East Coast stations and WOWO was also good.  

      Most domestic DX was best in the 3-hour period before dawn.
 This was especially true of midwestern stations.  Boston and
 New York stations were reliable throughout the hours of total
 darkness; most other US stations were badly hammered by Trans-
 Atlantic, Brazilian, and other foreign interference until quite
 late at night.
