[IRCA] New DXpedition report from Finland

[Mika Makelainen]

After a two-year break in AM DXing, I finally found the time to spend 
slightly over a week in the Arctic Northern part of Finland on a 
DXpedition. This was DXpedition number 271 in Lemmenjoki, the most 
popular DXpedition location in Lapland. Some of the highlights include 
picking up a bunch of X-band stations from Australia and Argentina. 
Conditions were not as good as two years earlier, but this was the first 
time that I was able to use the magnificent Perseus receiver, so the 
sheer volume of recordings is such that there will still be some neat 
catches to be discovered, once I get to go through the recordings. You 
can find the report with photos at 
http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/lem271rep.dx but compiling the initial 
log will probably take a couple of months more.

Thanks - I am actually in the E1 Yahoogroup -
It would behoove me to actually look at it.

The display issue appears intermittent - likely a bad connection of
some kind.

Local sunset has come and gone on the west coast (0052UT tonight), and lots of 
TA carriers.  Only the beat of the music on Farda is coming through on 1575, 
and 1215 isn't much more readable. but it's something.

Good strength carriers as well on 594, 675, 738, 747, 765 819, 855, 945, 999, 
1089, 1107, 1134, 1269, 1377, 1422, 1494, 1539, so a lot of the regular 
suspects.  This was around 0110UT.  Thanks for the warning Barry.

Nick

Brandon,
Your conclusion that you heard Cuba on 590 is more probable than Puerto Rico
at 1200Z.
PR is farther east than Havana and sunrise at San Juan is 1100Z compared
with 1215 Z at Havana.  I heard Cuba on 590 Friday morning while walking the

heard on 1341 1431 1467 1521 1548 1557 and 1575, among others.  Most

[IRCA] not much TP for 18 Jan from Victoria, BC

[Nick Hall-Patch]

started listening around 1500, on and off for the next 45 minutes.   Mildly 
better than the last few days, but not worth getting out of bed for!

pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 

none

reasonable audio  at  times during the period (though often battling w/splash 
or noise): 

none


not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 

774 JOUB  JJ inflection talk at 1514UT and seemed //828  (so, didn't sign off 
at 1500?)


Burbles in the splatter and noise:

828 JOBB seemed //774 
972 HLCA likely at 1521UT
1575 likely Thailand at 1522

Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1566

best wishes,

Nick

Just checked my recording, and the slow code IDs appeared starting at 
just before 0203 EST.  The signal was good enough to copy the voice 
announcements at times: "WOON 1240, Woonsocket, Rhode Island, USA, is 
broadcasting this hour for the benefit of distant radio reception 
enthusiasts. This is a test broadcast."  This announcement appeared 
to be alternating with jingles between the code segments.

Not new here, but DX tests are always appreciated!  I hope a test from 
WARL is in the offing, as that one is on the wanted list here.

[IRCA] 590 Radio Nacional Costa Rica received on E100 Slider! [update]

[Brandon Jordan]

I see that the Cuban broadcast on 590 kHz is Radio Musical, and a Google 
search turned up ID's for them as Radio Musical *Nacional*. The time of 
reception is also very close to Havana sunrise.


I think there is a very good chance that what I had was Cuba, and just 
missed the Musical part of the ID. Since most of my DX references are 
still boxed up, I have been using Bruce Conti's "Progreso, Rebelde and 
Reloj: The Three Topopoderos" list of Cuban stations, likely slightly 
outdated, and presumed that Rebelde was still on this frequency.


Drats, I'm going to have to log this one as tentative Cuba. BUT, I did 
bag KXSP at 1250 UTC, a new ULR state, so it was still a good morning!


73,
Brandon

Good catch Brandon, I'll have to give a try. That is if I can get
passed the QRM from KXSP and Radio Musical.

Good DX.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] WOON-1240 test

[Dave Pyatt]

WOON Morse heard in Burlington, ON.

Very slow Morse, repeated often.

Listened on LSB as 1250 has a local. Appears to be an 800 Hz tone,  
1230.2 kHz.


Heard at 7:04::42 UTC

Thanks to all who made this test possible.

[IRCA] 590 Radio Nacional Costa Rica received on E100 Slider!

[Brandon Jordan]

While doing a bit of early morning DX with the T615, I was looking for 
Nebraska on 590 at 1200 UTC. There was a Spanish speaker dominant on the 
frequency which I initially presumed was a as yet ULR unlogged Rebelde, 
but a quick check of 5,025 kHz indicated this was not parallel. Due to 
the slop from local WREC on 600, I fired up the E100 Slider at 1204 just 
in time to hear a male presenter mention Radio Nacional, then a female 
mentioning San Jose, Tegucigalpa and Managua, then brief chatter between 
them into a vocal. The station was fading fast, and after the vocal I 
caught the male announcer mentioning buenos dias. Barely audible by 1214 
and gone by 1216 leaving a mix of domestics and another Spanish speaker, 
likely Mexico.


I still haven't unpacked my WTRHs, so wasn't positive what this could 
be. I looked up 590 kHz on the AM-DX.com WestList, and 70 kW TIRN San 
Jose is listed. A Google search shows a few DXpedition logs from the 
late 90's listing this as Radio Nacional de Costa Rica. A quick check of 
GeoClock showed a 1158 UTC sunrise for San Jose, so right now this 
appears to be a classic case of transmitter sunrise enhancement.

[IRCA] Fox Sports 1070

[Paul LaFreniere]

There has been a Fox Sports Radio affiliate dominating 1070 all night.  Still 
there at 0520 CST  18 Jan 09.  Might be WKOK.  No sign of WTSO Madison, WI ESPN 
which is the usual dominant on 1070 in these parts.  I have not waited around 
for TOH I.D. to see if it is WKOK.
Pat Martin reports good conditions to the east, so maybe WKOK's 1 kW is doing 
the job during these conditions.
