Re the 630 unknown item, the eleven pips suggests that one is R. Timisoara Romania with 6 short pips. At a different hour, the remainder could be from Antena Satelor which is scheduled off at the time. Antena 1 Portugal should have 4 long and 1 short. BBC would be 5 short, 1 long. You might want to let Roy know that the number , length and pitch of the pips can help distinguish between multiple sets of pips. Most often however it ends up being multiple transmitters from Spain on one frequency - not the case on 630. It is also possible, depending on antenna direction that pips could be heard from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela.

I agree the 11 pips have to be a mixture of stations. I've never heard 11 anywhere from anyone. I wont speculate any further as there is no information to base it on.

Re: [IRCA] [nrc-am] Fwd: [CapeDX] Sandy Neck Beach DX 12-29-18
In the age of remote SDRs etc., perhaps this is irrelevant, but has anyone made a list of what pips are used by different Europeans? Sometimes, pips are all that make it through, and like knowing the frequency offset, can hint at what tools (parallel webstream etc.) might be useful when the signal is a little better next time. best wishes, Nick At 18:35 2019-01-05, Russ Edmunds wrote: Re the 630 unknown item, the eleven pips suggests that one is R.

Actually, this is something Brett Saylor and I have been working on as we've gone through our files from the October LBI DXpedition. We have a partial listing put together but there are so many reports made to IDXD and DXWW where there's no details as to the number, duration or pitch of the pips shown in the reports. I suppose we could compile the easy/certain ones into a preliminary list for sooner release and work through the rest. In the meantime though I would like to ask that reporters start including that greater level of detail in their reports going forward.

Russ - For TA stuff. I have a lot of recordings from Newfoundland. If you listened to the Newfoundland movie I posted a few months back, youd agree that it's a great library for pips analysis. For TP / DU stations, I have rather meticulous notes for Australia, New Zealand, Japan, S Korea, N Korea, China and some Vietnam. I should be covered for those.

Re: [IRCA] [nrc-am] Fwd: [CapeDX] Sandy Neck Beach DX 12-29-18
--- Begin Message --- My regular reports which appear in IRCA's DXWW column frequently mention pip patterns of various stations. The 630 situation is that the Romanian and another station, either Portugal or Tunisia, are out of alignment in terms of the final pip occurring exactly at top-of-hour. This leads to an apparent 11 or 12 pip sequence when neither of the close-to-even-strength stations run more than 6. Roy has heard this on his beach DXpeditions and I also have noted it here at the house. In both cases SuperLoop antennas positioned for a cardioid null west clean out most of the 630 domestic activity, largely WPRO. 774 is another frequency with mis-timed pips. Spain with 5 short 1 long (a.k.a. 5+1) is on the money but Egypt can be 30 or more seconds late. Most stations use 1 kHz as the pips tone. Portugal's are somewhat lower. Algeria, Egypt, and some other countries in the Arab world have the final pip at a higher pitch than the preceding ones. It wouldn't take too long to have a list put together seeing that webstreams and remote SDRs could fill in details that might take a little longer to get via actual DXing. You can also scroll though postings on RealDX and hear audio clips of a "zillion" receptions from all over the planet. Many of these contain pips and many have been successfully ID'ed, often by the Finns who seem to pick up everything. Besides what I regularly post, the PEI DXpedition reports edited by Bruce Conti contain a lot of detail about what we hear on the East Coast. I guess there was also an autumn 2018 Newfoundland DXpedition but I haven't seen a whole lot of usefully-consolidated / detailed info from that yet.

Mark said: Most stations use 1 kHz as the pips tone. Portugal's are somewhat lower. I beg to differ. Sim's pips are 2940 Hz.

I made some updates to my pips document, but we're back to the same old problems. I cant send it as an attachment, and there's no place to store it. Perhaps in 10 or 20 years we can put the 90's style email reflector in the trash can and move to groups.io like everyone else.

I hadn't seen the movie, but I'm sure it is a good resource.

I have a lot of recordings from Newfoundland. If you listened to the Newfoundland movie I posted a few months back, youd agree that it's a great library for pips analysis. For TP / DU stations, I have rather meticulous notes for Australia, New Zealand, Japan, S Korea, N Korea, China and some Vietnam. I should be covered for those.

Some of the material is inspecific and/or unclear and would take some time listening to overseas SDR's to confirm, however we have one from LBI which we've got recorded but which we haven't been able to find anywhere. Any TP/DU info we have was pulled from DXM or DXN over the past year or two. Meanwhile I could send you what we have for TP/DU and perhaps you could validate/correct/add to ?

I could add Europe etc but that might take a little while.

We have a partial listing put together but there are so many reports made to IDXD and DXWW where there's no details as to the number, duration or pitch of the pips shown in the reports. I suppose we could compile the easy/certain ones into a preliminary list for sooner release and work through the rest. In the meantime though I would like to ask that reporters start including that greater level of detail in their reports going forward.

Sometimes, pips are all that make it through, and like knowing the frequency offset, can hint at what tools (parallel webstream etc.) might be useful when the signal is a little better next time. best wishes, Nick At 18:35 2019-01-05, Russ Edmunds wrote: >Re the 630 unknown item, the eleven pips >suggests that one is R.
