Re: [IRCA] TPs from Orcas Island: Sept 1 09 A Victoria perspective
At 09:32 AM 9/1/2009, you wrote: There was a decent rebound today here. Not too much at all until just before 1300, a half hour before LSR. It was decent with, for me, quite a bit of DU action, until exactly 1330 when LSR turned off the band. I had DUs at Language Recognition level or better on 612, 702, 828, 846, 891 and 1512. The biggest Guns from East Asia were in, too. It was mostly a low band event with almost half of the lower band channels with at least threshold audio and only ten above 1098. Something was putting in threshold audio beneath the OC from the Marshalls on 1098. Enough of a DU morning that I'm going to get my DU Super Loop back in the mix today, but I suspect the story of the horse and the barn door may be on my mind tomorrow AM. John Bryant Orcas Island, WA, USA Winradio G313e and various Ultralights Wellbrook Phased Array + Superloops After a very busy week of deliveries (up 5/7 of the last nights), I slept in this morning, but not before setting up the Perseus SDR and my S directing corner fed loop. I was less than impressed by the results, ...until I came to 828 at 13:05 or so with REALLY strong ABC Gippsland with a talk program about medical technology. At the same time, 612 was only barely there (unlike last year when it was always the strongest DU station heard here just about daily) and 702 was at that just audible and identifiable as English. Same for 846. 891 is a never possible here due to Village 900. 1512 is there at fair level when checked at 13:18 on the Perseus wav file. Actually fairly good. I hear a fair amount of domestic splatter, but that may be due to my antenna direction being too close to WA/OR/CA. Other frequencies worth watching: 1341 with a big het from 1340 (or vice-versa!), same for 1359, weak audio on 1287, pres JJ. Other weak audios on 1278, 1269, 1161, 1143, 1134, 1! 098 (OC)--I have heard weak audio last year under the OC, 1035, 981, 972, 963 (good audio at 13:20! presumably Southern Star..absolutely not the CRI RR service! Although there is something there weakly cochannel!), 954, 936 (weak EZL music at 13:22 and fair talk earlier at 13:19, presumably 4PB Brisbane), 927, 855, 828 (still booming in at 13:29), 819 (fair audio under intense 820 splatter) at 13:30 with prob RNZ, 801, 792 (good audio at 13:31) 4RN Brisbane, 783 (Access Radio, NZ ? at fair strength at 13:30 and building to good level suddenly after 13:31 with modern pop music and brief audio bridges in non-English, 756 (fair to good at 13:29 prob RNZ National, but ABC can't be ruled out either...yes it can, see // 675), 738 (RFO) perhaps not quite as strong as other mornings, 702, 675 (fair pres RNZ National at 13:28...yes, // to much stronger 756), 639 (as usual strong carrier, but lousy audio!), 603 (another strong carrier, but barely there audio at 13:28). My setup here! has problems with local noise below about 620 on the south loop. I c an see lots of peaks down there, but my ALA 100 aimed to the south-west does better on these low frequencies (and LW too). Overall impression from Victoria: A very nice DU rise in signals post LSR, not showing any diminishment by 13:30 (my wav files finish at 13:32). Not much activity from Asia, although this is not surprising with the S aimed corner loop. What fun it is to cruise the band with the Perseus SDR wav files as well. Miss the ID, no problem, simply rewind the wav file and listen again! Check for //...no problem either. A load of fun for sure!

The foreign language is certainly not one of the Asian groups, and is presumably a Pacific Island dialect. If any of the New Zealand or Australian DXers in the Ultralightdx Yahoo group (or any other DXers) could take a listen to the MP3 and possibly identify the announcer's voice or the language, it would be most appreciated. 531 kHz has always been a fiasco frequency during my summer Grayland trips, with at least three UnID DU's having been heard this summer.

[IRCA] TPs from Orcas Island: Sept 2: Best Yet!
Dawn today brought an outstanding East Asian morning, though like most so far, there wasn't much before 30 minutes prior to LSR and things dropped like a rock about 1325, a few minutes before LSR. The lower half of the band was full of mostly threshold level audio, with 42 stations noted at that level or above. The upper half was reasonably populated with 21 stations breaking into audio. The aggregate 63 is well above the other excellent morning a few days ago (around 50.) It was almost all Asian for me, with just a few hints of DU on 612 and maybe 1512. Probably the strongest station of the morning was HLAZ on 1566, which I thought was still somewhat under-modulated, but it had a HUGE signal. In general, stations on or near the Korean peninsula seemed to be doing particularly well. Some of the more interesting notations: 666 NHK2 Osaka was putting in the first audio of the year 837 had two Asian stations doing moderate 8-level well. I don't recognize Korean instantly, unless it is coming in well. However, I don't think that the dom. here was Korean... I think that it was either Taiwanese or Fujian dialect. I've been chasing the new station that Alan Davies reported as a new CNR Service to Taiwan about 18 months ago... this may have been it. I'm pretty sure that this was not Harbin News Channel (that was the weaker one??) unless an all-news station has begun playing pop ballads fairly soon after TOH. 873 and 891's NHKs were doing especially well. 918 The Shandong News multi transmitters were back with a nice echo, but just above threshold. 963 (Russian), 1017 (Korean) and 1044 (Japanese) were the CNR Foreign Language Services all doing fairly well. This is more usual at mid-season. 1053 There were two Asian audios here early. In the past, I've always heard the Japanese, JOAR, Nagoya. I've noticed recently that Guy has been hearing the North Korean broadcasting station here (which I never have). I bet that I heard them both this morning. Later, the Jammer and one Asian were occupying the channel. The most interesting high band stations were the NHK synchros on 1188 and 1386, in just above threshold levels. Again, more of a mid-season phenomenon. So, I think that the traditional September 1 start of the Northern Hemisphere FALL SEASON was right on the mark this year. BRAVO!!!

[IRCA] Sept. 2nd TP DX from Puyallup - Now This is More Like It
Today's loaded dial (by Puyallup RF alley standards) made up for the wasteland that was Sept. 1st's dawn enhancement. I'll bet John on Orcas and Walt in Victoria did very, very well! None of the signals this morning were strong except a couple of NHK outlets (briefly), but there were plenty of signals to pursue. I also heard a possible Philipino station-- off-channel 1322 kHz which could be DXAD in Marawi City. Here's what I found on the Perseus WAV recordings with the NW terminated, broadband loop (45 ft. high x 30 ft. long): --- 828 JAPAN JOBB Osaka - fair at 1235, then noted at god level 1303 with EG lessons (Now all I have to do is pay off the loan on my dream car...it's SO cool!) 1566 SOUTH KOREA HLAZ Cheju - surprisingly poor 1230-1330, never rising above fair despite multiple checks throughout. 1575 THAILAND VOA Ayutthaya - likewise crummy, with threshold audio in Asian language only around 1320. 972 SOUTH KOREA HLCA - Poor with KK language at 1240. 1242 JAPAN JOLF Tokyo - Poor in JJ at 1245. 1017 CHINA CRI - Woman in KK, fair at 1255. PAL lists CRI with Korean on 1017 in this time frame. 594 JAPAN JOAK Tokyo - Fair to good with JJ talk at 1250. 1287 JAPAN JOHR Sapporo - poor to fair in Japanese at 1252. 738 AUSTRALIA 2NR Grafton - two male announcers with EG talk; poor to fair at 1257 and then fair to good 1322 with discussion of Australian events. 891 JAPAN JOHK Sendai - Fair with JJ talk by a woman at 1255. 1422 JAPAN JORF Yokohama - music noted at fair level 1258, then stronger with JJ talk at 1306. 936 JAPAN - synchros here at 1302 with JJ language announcers and mentions of Tokyo. Poor level. 1143 UNIDENTIFIED - music heard here at a weak level at 1305, then gone without the chance to hear any announcers or language clues. 1062 UNIDENTIFIED - very weak talk at 1305, and language unid. 1386 JAPAN - synchros with JJ announcers at 1314. Fair signal. 1143 CHINA - unid. outlet at 1314 with female announcer in CC lang. 666 JAPAN JOBK Osaka - fair to surprisingly good at 1317 with JJ talk and mentions of Tokyo. 1242 JAPAN JOLF Tokyo - poor in JJ audio by male announcer at 1319. 1322 UNIDENTIFIED - pop music and talk in possible Tagalog (definitely not CC, JJ, or KK) language at 1323 UTC. Signal was spot-on 1322 kHz, which is listed in the Pacific Asian Log (PAL) as DXAD in Marawi City, Philipines. The first sign of 1322 on the Perseus waterfall display was at 1248 UTC, with burbling audio until rising in strength to fair very quickly at 1309 with pop music. The signal dropped down about 20 seconds later and stayed at threshold level until 1323 when it was barely strong enough that I could make a guess at Tagalog language (a lang. I find much more difficult to ID than Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). PAL says that DXAD is a Muslim co-op station that carries some Arabic programming and Koran recitations, but I don't think I was hearing Arabic.

[IRCA] Is WXCT 990 CT running day rig tonite?
With CBW phased out and CKGM seemingly alternating between OC and off I am getting Spanish Contemporary Christian music sometimes atop WNTP (NewsTalk 990) and new WJEH (NOS). I have seen reports of WXCT 990 running day power at night and their pattern is good for the upper midwest, noting I logged their DX test a few years ago in Barrington IL with little trouble. 73 KAZ Grafton WI E-1 and Phased BOG System at 110 deg 470 ft // 335 ft PS These BOGs are aimed right at DE, the only of the 48 states I still need here. I managed to log the other 47 in about 20 listening sessions, but DE still remains elusive and nothing there aims much power this way at night. From my main QTH in IL I have two DE's and both were just brief...900 with its slogan mixing with MD/others in early near Xmas SSS and 1290 when it was reported on day power for a 76's game (caught enough to tell it was them) PPS..there are some TA's in here even on this wire not aimed at them so tomorrow I will get the TA wires down... I need to use the sickle on some brush to get to the ground rod and then will do my darnedest to tweak termination to kill Chicago lowbanders. ___ 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
