Re: [HCDX] Radio Mexico International
Dear Gary: I had heard them (XERMX) in july: MEX 11770 R. México Int'l.1906-1917 Jul.13SINPO=34333 Marimba music, with orchestra accompaniment, playing'cha-cha-cha'. @1915 ID: RMI, todo un país en sus oídos and the music goes on. There is a slight het on the frequency (Escoto-HND) MEX 9705 R. México Internacional 0017-0022 Jul.10SINPO=45532 Sports news. The sugnal is good, but audio too low, thus the overall merit = 2 (Escoto-HND) Then I heard them recently (last weekend) with a very bad signal on 9705 around 19 UTC, didn't try 11770.

[HCDX] Re: Antarctica 15476
Hi John and all, I heard some first traces of the audio (woman's voice as well!) at about 0113, but at once it became clear that the station is not LRA36. The carrier was on 15475 kHz sharp (not several hundred Hz above as typical for ARG). Well, it turned to be Radio Rossii via Irkutsk, scheduled on 15475 kHz at 2230-1000, 100 kW. Signal was gradually strenghtening, leaving no chance to find a weak Argentinian. I'm located in Kazan, Russia, 49 E / 56 N 73's, Dmitry Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2003 21:40:58 -0400 From: John Figliozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm getting a het and the Lowe sync whine indicates a signal is there, but I don't seem to be getting any audio. Sometimes I think I hear voices, but that's another problem entirely. :-) Seriously, it sounds like a woman's voice at times. Signal (if that's what it is) is weakening with time. Barely there at 0140. ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2003 is out!

[HCDX] Ahhhh .... what a nice morning !
Comming home from a long night shift, and NOT turning on the TV, but turning up the volume on the MW radio that's been taping all night, listening to the band slowly fade out ... cool late summer breeze gently wafting through the window a. I've got two full nights of taping on 1460 with local WBJX off the air. Full logs to follow, but have at least three new ones so far ... WBRN, Tomah, WI, and Des Moines, IA. Will go over the recordings carefully this weekend probably. Band seemed to close later this morning than yesterday. Band not really dumping down until 0830cdt today while yesterday it was down by 0800. Could be my imagination. Now 0850 and a second peak comming up. Time for a bowl of cereal then off to sleep !

[HCDX] KN4LF Daily HF/MF Radio Propagation Outlook #2003-07
KN4LF Daily HF/MF Radio Propagation Outlook #2003-07 http://www.kn4lf.com/kn4lf5.htm Date Format is YY/MM/DD Published Wednesday 03/08/28 At 1400 UTC PAST 24 HOUR SOLAR, SPACE WEATHER AND GEOMAGNETIC INDICES- Solar Flux Readings- 124 126 124 Sunspot Number- 116 X-Ray Solar Flares- C-4 M-0 X-0 Averaged Background X-Ray Flux- B3.8 Energetic Protons 10 MeV (10+0)- None Coronal Hole #053 is now in a partially geo-effective (Earth facing) position as of 03/08/27 and is impacting the geo-magnetic field with a Kp of 3 unsettled to 4 active. Coronal Hole #054 will become geo-effective on 03/08/28 and may impact the geo-magnetic field with minor storm conditions Kp-5 by 03/08/30. For the balance of this week we should see periods of unsettled Kp-3 to active Kp-4 geomagnetic conditions, with some minor storm Kp-5 conditions possible towards the end of the week. In the past 24 hour period the Ap index has been at active levels, with a peak at 23. In the past 24 hour period the Kp index has been at active levels, with a peak at 4. For the balance of this week we should see periods of unsettled Kp-3 to active Kp-4 geomagnetic conditions, with some minor storm Kp-5 conditions possible towards the end of the week. Here are some general guidelines concerning correlation of propagation indices to actual expected HF/MF propagation conditions. 1.) Dropping indices numbers are better, except for solar flux on HF. 2.) For medium frequencies a solar flux under 150, under 100 better, 70 is best for E layer multi hop. Keep in mind though that the 10.7 cm (2800 mhz) solar flux index is not a reliable gauge of ionization in our atmosphere, as the energy of photons at this frequency is to low on the order of one million times. 2a.) For high frequencies a solar flux of 100 is okay, 150 better, above 200 best for F layer multi hop. 3.) Solar flux of at least 100 for E valley-F layer ducting mechanism. 4.) Previous 24 hour Ap index under 10, under 7 for several days consecutively is best. 5.) Previous 3 hour Kp index under 3 for mid latitude paths, under 2 for high latitude paths, 0-1 for several days consecutively is best. 6.) Energetic protons no greater then 10 MeV (10+0) for 160/120 meters and no greater then (10-1) on MF broadcast band. 7.) Background x-ray flux levels less than C1 for several days consecutively for 160/120 meters and less then B9 for MF broadcast band. 8.) No current STRATWARM alert. 9.) IMF Bz with a (+) positive sign, indicates a lesser chance of high latitude path auroral absorption/unpredictable refraction or scattering of MF RF signals, when the Kp is above 3. PROPAGATION LESSON- As we approach the Fall/Winter Equinox propagation conditions become more balanced as the number of hours of sunlight and darkness are equal in both hemispheres. Also the negative affect of the solar wind on the magnetosphere increases as we approach the Fall/Spring Equinox. Why? Basically it's the orientation of Earth's magnetic field with respect to the Interplanetary Magnetic Field within the Solar Wind. When solar material and shock waves reach Earth their effects may be enhanced or dampened depending on the angle at which they arrive. As we move towards Southern Hemisphere Summer, critical frequencies will be lower with skip distances longer. This means that the highest bands will not be open as often but the higher bands will stay open longer into the evening hours. As we move towards Northern Hemisphere Winter, critical frequencies will be higher with skip distances shorter. This means that the highest bands will be open more often but the higher bands will close sooner during the evening hours. GLOBAL HF 3000-3 KC PROPAGATION CONDITIONS EXPECTED- Low Latitude- Good Mid Latitude- Good High Latitude- Fair To Good GLOBAL MF 300-3000 KC PROPAGATION CONDITIONS EXPECTED- Expect fair to good Northern Hemisphere domestic propagation conditions on east-west paths. Expect poor to fair domestic conditions on north TO south paths in the Northern Hemisphere out to approximately 1100 miles. Expect good to fair domestic conditions on south TO north paths in the Northern Hemisphere out to approximately 1100 miles. Expect good Southern Hemisphere domestic propagation conditions on east-west paths. Expect good then becoming fair domestic conditions on north TO south paths in the Southern Hemisphere out to approximately 1100 miles+ Expect fair conditions on south TO north paths in the Southern Hemisphere out to approximately 1100 miles. High latitude Northern Hemisphere (TA) Trans Atlantic, (TI) Trans Indian, (TP) Trans Pacific and cross equatorial propagation conditions in excess of approximately 3200 miles should be poor to fair. High latitude Southern Hemisphere (TA) Trans Atlantic, (TI) Trans Indian, (TP) Trans Pacific and cross equatorial propagation conditions in excess of approximately 3200 miles should be fair. Mid
