[IRCA] 1610 kHz Mystery Station
0905-0926 utc two women talking religion on 1610 kHz. Mostly weak signal and some interference from HAR's stations on the channel. Signal has rapid fading and is heard on all three antennas at equal strength. It seems the women have opposing views on the topic. Hard to really follow because of the conditions. Language is English. Has anyone heard this on 1610 kHz?

[IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Sunday
Didn't get to MW until later due to good Pacific beacon conditions due to the solar activity, but very good Down Under results. Many hets over the whole band with some audio, some rising to decent level at times. 1321-1355 utc (891 the last to fade out at 1355). 567, 594, 621, 657, 702, 738, 792, 855, 891 (2 stns), 1116, 1548--all Down Under.

[IRCA] TP for 11Sep2011 from Victoria: Oh the pain!
On this solemn morning, I began listening to the bands at 13:07 UTC, along with Nick Hall-Patch's DX Fishbarrel. The picture was not pretty! Almost a complete wipe-out of any signals, and those that were present were attenuated, and exclusively from DU. Not a single Asiatic this morning. SF: 116, A, an incredible 34, and K(at 12:00) of 1. Minor radio blackouts during the past 24, and minor radio blackouts again forecast for the next 24. As always, a 6 (threshold audio) unless otherwise noted: 567 612: Brisbane at 7 at 13:25, 7.5 at 13:47 702: 7 level on 702.000. Another weaker carrier on 701.893 noted. 2BL Sydney 729: 7 level music at 13:26. ?RNZ National or 5RN ABC National? 738 774: 8 level 3LO ABC Melbourne at 13:20, and still at same level at 13:30. 792: 7.5 level at 13:22. 4RN Brisbane. 819: 6 level after 13:25. ?Australia or NZ? 828: 7 level after 13:25. Presumed 3GI ABC Gippsland 837 846: 7 level early, 8 level at 13:38 with EZL music and // to 792. 2RN ABC National, Canberra. 936, 1008 1098: 7 level OC 1152, 1161, 1332: all 6 level at 13:41 1548: 7 level at 13:44. 4QD ABC Central Queensland, Emerald.

[IRCA] KBND heard in San Diego on barefoot PL-606
I was checking a few frequencies about 15 minutes ago looking for (yes, I'll admit it) Radio Disney. KMIK 1580 (the one I normally listen to at night) had too much co-channel interference from KBLA, 1290 KKDD was unreadable in the muck, so I checked 1110. There I heard a weak KDIS, along with a stronger KFAB. I listened for a couple minutes, and noticed that when I nulled KFAB I heard another news/talk station ON TOP of KDIS! (Normally KDIS is on top here and needs to be nulled to hear KFAB.) Within the next few minutes, I heard a KBND call. Looking them up on Radio-Locator reveals them to be in Bend, OR, with 10kW/5kW DA-N with a night pattern that doesn't really favor me. Are they on day rig, or are conditions from north to south exceptionally good on the west coast? It's the first time I recall hearing KBND here. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] KBND heard in San Diego on barefoot PL-606
Great catch! I checked and KBND sounds like their normal 5 KW at 150 miles to the SE. At night off the Eastern beverage they mix with KFAB. KDIS is extremely rare here. The old KRLA was fairly common in the the 60s 70s, but they must have changed their pattern in later years, as KDIS is real DX! 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
