[IRCA] Grayland 12

2015-08-08 Thread Bill Whitacre
Between the two ‘cliffsider’ DXpeditions organized by Gary DeBock I had the 
opportunity for another trip to the west coast visiting the Grayland Motel in 
Grayland, WA and a place called Sans Souci, between Yachats and Florence, OR 
from July 26 - 31, 2015.

I’m still working my way through the Perseus wav files but you can get a 
look/listen to what I heard and uncovered so far on this webpage:

http://realmonitor.com/am_logs_grayland12.php

Highlights so far include; a nice ID on Samoa on 540, Kiribati on 1440 with 
their National Anthem at 1000utc s/off, Fiji on 558 and a bunch of Aussie & NZ 
stations.

This time Murphy stayed away and I was able to get three concurrent days of wav 
files from Grayland and Sans Souci for later comparison of conditions.  Based 
on a limited sample of the past 3 years of the same situation it appears that 
Sans Souci is more conducive to Aussie reception than Grayland.  We’ll see how 
this year’s stats feed into that conclusion.

Antennas used at both locations were 160’ DKAZ pointing at 230-250 deg with a 
fixed, 902 Ohm terminal resistance [Rt] in Sans Souci and a variable, vactrol 
Rt in Grayland.  If you’re into EZNEC modeling, both antennas used 20 gauge 
wire.

Bill, a very interesting report.  I like your format, and audio clips.
Tell me more about KHMB 1710.   I've never heard of them.  I see that they
have a website.  The only KHMB that comes up on the Radio Locator website
is a FM station in Hamburg, Arkansas.  Are we talking about a 100 mW
station here?   73,...Walt

KHMB is, as their website says, a community station on 1710 near SFO.  Neil 
Kazaross thinks it’s a FCC Part 15 station ‘on steroids’ — they’ve gone WAY 
beyond the usual boring TIS fare and, who knows, may be running more than the 
regulation power?  From Sans Souci one gets really good CA reception.  That’s 
all I know … and even some of that is speculation.  ;-)

I imagine this is what Bruce Portzer and I were 
hearing at Grayland on June 28th.   I haven't 
found an ID yet, don't know if Bruce has.At 
1100UT, there was a "hello everyone" by a man and 
and some deep fades pretty much killed any ID 
hopes, then into 70s pop music.
