MW SCAN   -   January 1997

Welcome to the first MWS of 1997 - Happy New Year !

Good conditions on MW continue, as we enjoy the sunspot minimum. Plenty of East Coast US and Canadian stations to hear on the band from around 2000 onwards. Best catch is the "rare" state of Mississippi in the shape of WROA Gulfport on 1390, logged several times between 0600 and 0800.

This month we have the dx-pedition logbook from Sheigra, as well as logs made from home locations.
