Sheigra Dxpedition Report
Sheigra DXpedition Report 12 th to 25 th October 2019 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 58th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland on the far north western tip of the Scottish mainland, just south of Cape Wrath. DXers made the first long drive up here in 1979, so this we guess, was the 40 th anniversary? And the DXers who first made the trip to Sheigra in 1979 to listen to MW would probably notice little change here today: the single-track road ending in the same cluster of cottages, the cemetery besides the track towards the sea and, beyond that, the machair in front of Sheigra’s sandy bay. And surrounding Sheigra, the wild windswept hillsides, lochans and rocky cliffs pounded by the Atlantic. (You can read reports on our 18 most recent Sheigra DXpeditions on the BDXC website here: http://bdxc.org.uk/articles.html ) Below: Sheigra from the north: Arkle and Ben Stack the mountains on the horizon. Once again we made Murdo’s traditional crofter’s cottage our DX base. From here our long wire Beverage aerials can radiate out across the hillsides towards the sea and the Americas to the west and north west, and eastwards towards Asia, parallel to the old, and now very rough, peat track which continues on north east into the open moors after the tarmac road ends at Sheigra. right: Dave earths the Caribbean Beverage. We were fortunate to experience good MW conditions throughout our fortnight’s stay, thanks to very low solar activity. And on the last couple of days we were treated to some superb conditions with AM signals from the -
Sheigra Dxpedition Report 29Th October to 12 Th November 2016 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington
Sheigra DXpedition Report 29th October to 12 th November 2016 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 56 th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland, and the first during November since back in 2004. We last made the long drive up to the north-west tip of the Scottish mainland in March 2015. Prior to that, there had been six DXpeditions in the Autumn, but all earlier, in October. So we would benefit from some longer hours of darkness this time. This was Dave’s 21 st DXpedition to this tiny crofting settlement, and Alan’s 13 th , so we knew what to expect there by now! Whatever the conditions threw up, both weather-wise and propagation-wise, the wild landscape and peace and solitude in Sheigra always make the long journey worthwhile! For the third time, our DX base would be Murdo’s traditional crofting cottage, whose location makes it ideal to put up Beverage aerials targeting the Americas and the Far East – see list of aerials below. We arrived early afternoon on Saturday 29 th October, after an overnight stop in Perth, and took advantage of the calm, cloudy but dry weather to put up two aerials before dark: the 260 degree Beverage which runs to the west, ending very close to the rocky coast, and the 160/340 degree wire, running slightly west of north, up the hill behind the cottage. The 260 degree wire we would terminate the next day with a copper earthing rod; the 160/340 degree aerial would be our UK/Africa aerial when unterminated, or our 340 degree Alaskan aerial when terminated. -

SHEIGRA DXPEDITION REPORT 1-14 October 2011 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington

It is the seventh time we have stayed in Mary’s cottage in the far north-west corner of the Scottish mainland (the original DX holiday cottage used from 1985 to 2001 sadly still stands empty and unoccupied after 10 years). The weather was mild and sunny for the first two days, a pleasant relief from the heatwave further south, but then it turned very windy with heavy showers, the strong gusts proved a challenge, snapping our African aerial on top of the hill. The second week was mostly dry and mild with a couple of glorious sunny days. There were a lot of sheep around but apart from occasionally bumping into the canes they did not cause any problems. Deer attack! After all the problems with deer on our last visit in 2009 we were rather reluctant to put up a North American wire this time (it extends over the distant hills where the deer tend to roam at night) intending to use the loop instead, but that proved noisy on MW so we decided to run out the 1 beverage after all. -
BC-DX 280 31 Dec 1996 ANGUILLA New 6090 Khz Carib
BC-DX 280 31 Dec 1996 ________________________________________________________________________ ANGUILLA New 6090 kHz Caribbean Beacon 0610 //5935 (non Aguilla, via WWCR) Cr. Gene Scott talking about first night. Broadcasting only at nights with 80 kW while testing tx. They will announce day freq on Sun, Dec 29. Asking for reception reports. Recheck 0735 UTC and they were gone. (Hans Johnson-USA, Dec 28) Thanks to a tip from Hans Johnson and Cumbre DX, 6090 kHz Caribbean Beacon noted with an open carrier at 0340 UTC, audio started 0400 UTC sharp //WWCR-5035, and the first 10 minutes Scott was asking for telephone reports on the signal. Here on the NRD-535D, on the high 300-ft inverted-L it is +50dB/s9, the low 50-ft doublet (with the high skywave angle) it is +60dB/s9. Telephone reports started up coast to coast by 0413 UTC. Hardly difficult. (Tom Sundstrom-NJ, 29 Dec) 6090 kHz - 0410 UTC, rock mx, Dr. Scott talking about the new txer, saying at one point it was "just shy of" 75 kw, at another 80 kw, "100% modulation." Invited calls to their usual phone numbers, and ran down the calls they had been getting from listeners, mostly west coasters, TX, KS, etc, all of whom seemed to be having better reception than I was. Good strength, though I would have expected better; a hum on the signal; and a bad fqy in my area, with splatter in both directions from DW powerhouses on 6085 and 6100 until DW closes at 0600. Better, and dominant, thereafter, but nowhere near as good as the //WWCR-5935 signal.
