CC, KK, and JJ all coming in very nicely. An interesting note: Things really died briefly before 13:30, but picked up very well after 13:30. I watched the signals fade away, thinking that was the end of the morning just before 13:30, and whamo, they came back stronger than ever! Not quite as good as 2 days ago, but definitely better than average. Entire band was open, but concentrated on the lower half of the band with audio on virtually every channel, and my first 693 NHK2 in audio (normally totally swamped by CBU). Have to run, but will elaborate tonight. John, I suspect, will be having a very good morning at Grayland.

[IRCA] Last night's (9-30) SSS DX from here in IL
Still using the quicky DXped Phased BOG System aimed 320 degrees described in earlier posts and it didn't disappoint. However, whereas the spectaculur cx of the previous night will go down in history as one of the top few SSS nights ever here (1-4-2002 was just a bit better) last night was just very good. Much of the same stuff was in but signals just had a bit more oomph the previous night and later in the session I was getting some light snap/crackle/pop qrm from the distant storms which are now here in IL with heavy rain. Times CDT Finally I dug out KqKD 1380 from SD which is on a crowded channel and low powered and without a favorable pattern. I had brief traces of rlg format the night before and then last night at 1942 just prior to power switch, a "Family Radio" slogan and some talk about God and soon gone when switched. This leaves me only 580 to complete SD outside of some needed GYers. I probably have tried for them a couple hundred times. Success also on 1320 for my 2nd new one and most wanted KHRT from Minot ND. Again there'd been some gospel traces the night before. But this time at bit more and cleared in the mixed with KELO and KOZY etc. At 1955 I caught the 1320 KHRT ID, I think preceeded by "Solid Gospel". This leaves me only Paul Walker's former employer of KDKT 1410 to complete ND outside of the GYers most of which I need. Later my semi-local WRMN 1410 dropped audio for a good hour+ ..it seemed like OC but the sports on 1410 was KOOq weakly and no trace of KDKT although I do get things at that distance at night on lowish powers on clearish channels. I also observe when the usual indicators start fading in as I tune up and down the band. 1190 CFSL from SK was in rather nicely as early as 1930 with Blue Jays BB with WOWO phased. 1180 KOFI was in well by 2025 and really blasting prior to 2045 switch. Phasing could knock out Cuba or WHAM but not both, but neither was strong. 1090 had KBOZ MT pounding KAAY at 2042 with an ad for Big Sky ranches (I'd love 35,000 acres for antennas..ie 4 element side by side phased arrays of mile long Bevs slightly staggered to also enhance f/b) and then more ads and an ID. In contrast to the previous night, Northern Utah stuff wasn't as good and I didn't note UT on 1120 or 1510 and 1550 was barely noted and KSL was not as strong under my local WYLL. Calgary was in on 1060 by 2030 however and AB on 1140 was noted as early as 2015 with WRVA phased. Now for the fun stuff..ie more westerly states. When 50 kw KOFI 1180 is blasting in on SSS I look for nearby KVNI 1080 as their oldies stick out nicely (noting UT has switched before KVNI's 2100 switch time and doesn't really play the same stuff anyhow) 1080 is made workable by phasing semi-local WNWI's ethnic stuff which I can almost kill completely. Surprisingly no trace of KVNI this season. A later check had no Portland there either. I usually don't get OR if UT isn't coming in really well. So up to high band to check for more fun from WA. Anyhow, KFBK 1530 news and and a 6:49 TC noted u/phased WCKY at 2049. They are quite common here and easy to pick out and about the most southerly distant thing in on that NW directed antenna system. Up to 1550 and there was KRPI in about as early prior to their switch time as I'd ever had them. And KKAD was soon with them at times.. (MYL mx Sunny 1550) things seemed really promising. KRPI went into EE for the 2100 ID and I was laughing as they gave the usual disclaimer about the views and opinions expressed not being those of mgmt in EE and then right back into Punjabi talk. This station sticks out like a red apple in a bushel of green ones but make sure not to confuse with CBE which can have Indian accented stuff. I have yet to hear a trace of CBE here on this antenna system, but if I aim BOGs at them, they are semi dominant. KRPI while up to vg strength just didn't make to the xlnt arm chair peak levels of 9-29. They dropped like a stone at 2129 switch. 1560 had bits of SS around 2105 but wasn't reasonable until a 2120 peak with Marniers BB in SS. They were considerably better the previous night as well and last night I had no trace of suspected KZIZ with them. KKAA was also a bit stronger and more qrm. Checking other highband possibilities from WA gave me nothing. BC on 1130 was semi-dominant by 2120 and BC was well u/WHO 1040 at the time with hockey talk. I did think 1560 KVAN switched at 2130 (15 min late or even 30 min) but there were still in but weaker. Perhaps it was just a fade but I am wondering how I am still getting them on night rig both nights. Re the 1680 SS rlg station in Seattle, Radio Luz. They were noted decently as early as 2035 with WPRR phased out and with only minimal other qrm. However, they also didn't make it to the big levels of the previous night and were quite shaky after 2130 switch from 10 to 1 kW. A needed station that seems strangly absent considering how well I get
Re: [IRCA] Victoria TP's for 10/01/09 - 603khz MP3 from Korea
Hi Colin, I enjoyed your recording of 603 and 594 from this morning... those are impressive signals from urban Victoria with just the whip antenna of a barefoot Eton E1! Your reception made me curious as to the level HLSA and JOAK were being heard this morning on my antenna, at the same time (I presume your top-of-the-hour recording was at 1400 UTC). I "rewound the tape" on Perseus, and made a similar recording: http://www.mediafire.com/?m2n1oymd0dj The recording starts with 603 HLSA at 1359:30 and goes through the ID and time pips to the orchestral theme and female announcer at approximately 1300:15.

[IRCA] TP for 1 Oct from Victoria, BC
Started listening at 1320UT, and wasn't impressed, yet, over time, individual channels would show something interesting. By the end of listening an hour later, a lot of DX had been heard. Perhaps the most intriguing was some pretty good CC signals on 1161 from presumed Taiwan (of course, not on the hour), and 801, which I believe was CC also. pretty darn good audio : 594 JOAK; eventually at 1344UT and later 747 JOIB; at 1420UT, much poorer up until then 774 JOUB 828 JOBB 1053 KK jammer at 1341 1161 tentative Taiwan at 1333; seems like good modulation on this one reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 567 JOIK //594 (at 1344) 576 mx, possibly Russia per DF 801 CC talk by woman, fading to a hum on the hour 837 JOQK //594 at 1345UT 855 big hum, very little audio 873 JOGB //828 at 1412 936 CC singing; Anhui? 963 CRI w/RR talk at 1346UT 972 HLCA, always big carrier, not so good audio 1134 KK //972 at 1340UT 1215 brief CC talk 1345UT 1242 mx at 1357, likely JOLF per DF 1287 JOHR , with moments of better than this 1512 sounded like Tagalog talk by man at 1419UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 153 Russia (189 and 279 hardly there) 531 JOQG //594 585 JOPG //594 594 unID slow talk u/JOAK, didn't sound EE 603 HLSA //558 621 CC talk at 1403UT; hum on channel also. 657 hum o/mx 666 JOBK //594 702 NHK2 //747 at 1347UT 1053 JJ talk? u/jammer 1323 CRI mx //963 at 1359UT 1503 JOUK //594 at 1350 1566 monster carrier, hardly ever more than this level audio; HLAZ 1575 VoA likely Burbles in the splatter and noise: 1008, 1089, 1188, 1251, 1314, 1386 Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): none that hadn't some small amount of audio. best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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
[IRCA] Alberta TAs
I was about to post a message regarding my TPs this morning (pretty so-so, highlight was a nice "KBS World Radio" ID on 1170 at about 1310), when I checked the radio. For the third night in a row Croatia is in with audio. It's doing much better tonight though, and other TA carriers are stronger. Audio at times from others too. Sweden on 1179 is quite consistent, and I've had bits from the UK on 693 and someone on 1548. Hope you guys further west can have a listen. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunnore, AB ___ 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
[IRCA] Belated Day THREE Report from Grayland
Made it home at 6:00PM after starting to pack at Grayland at 8:00AM. Man, what a drag but worth it. This Third morning, October 1, Thursday was one of my more interesting in recent years. The upper band was quite open and a number of things were there that were far from usual... In fact, there were several that I simply had no idea what the heck they were. The more interesting, in chronological order: 1269 was other weak JJs on Tuesday, but this morning the repeater stations for JOHR-1287 were in better than I've heard them before. Recorded for a reception report 1255-TOH 1458 Man the catch of the DXpedition (I think) was just sitting there as I tuned by. Wham, traditional Mongolian men's chorus doing very well. For several odd reasons, I've heard a bit of traditional Mongolian men's singing and it is unmistakable. It is related to Tuvan "throat singing" and similar to that type of singing from NE Siberia and the Arctic. It is hauntingly beautiful. After sitting there stunned for a minute (I NEVER hear anything on 1458) I hit the record button and dove into PAL. Sure enough, there is a 200kW station that I've tentatively heard a couple of times over the years in Hohhot, Nei Menggu (Inner Mongolia, China.) Just gotta be this baby! I recorded about 20 minutes worth. There were several solos by men and all of the music was "a cappella" without instrumental accompaniment. I think Walt may have heard this, too. I fear that I'll not get a QSL... the regional Chinese stations rarely answer English reports. I'm sure gonna try, tho'. Heard from 1304-1324 1593 CNR was in as well as I've ever heard them and so were the NHK2 mini-Synchros on 1602 At 1326, CNR1 and CNR2 were simulcasting. I've never heard that before. 1134 was in Korean for the second or third morning, rather than the usual JOQR. It was running the same special KBS programming as 972. Korea is sure coming in better than usual this year and Japan not quite as well as usual. 1161 I'm almost certain this is the BCC-Country station in Ilan (QSLed a few years ago). They seemed to be in standard Chinese before a nice set of chimes at TOH and into something different, presumed Taiwanese. I got a good TOH recording and want to submit it to the experts. The lower band was rocking, too I had NHK1 on 567//576//585//594. I don't think that I've ever had that run before, all in at once. A few other random notes for the crew going to Grayland tomorrow: 945 is not always CNR1. By process of elimination, I've sort of focused on Chutian Satellite BC (was Mandarin not Manchurian) Rather than the three big Heillongjiang RGD Village radio. In truth, I'm guessing and have not invested the time BUT 945 is sometimes in standard CC but is *not* CNR1... at other times, it is clearly CNR1 801 has some interesting stuff on it as does 1341. I'm not sure of the IDs at either frequency. 792 is possibly Shanghai 1314 heard classical music here, sounded Russian. Who??? 1215 is not always CNR2 1404.02 may have been the Korean Christian Broadcaster CBS GOOD LUCK AT GRAYLAND! Mike's new lady at the front desk is "Leslie" a cute 40-50 year-old blond.

Re: [IRCA] Victoria TP's for 10/01/09 - 603khz MP3 from Korea
Hi Colin and Guy, Thanks for your recordings of both 603-HLSA and 594-JOAK, both of which were very interesting. During the past month, 603-HLSA has been mixing with a Mandarin Chinese station here on most mornings, which may be the 10 kw Beijing station. I made a couple of MP3's of the Chinese station when it was dominant on the frequency, and will submit them to Jacey Wang (our TP-group Mandarin translator), in the hope of nailing down a location for the transmitter. 73, Gary In a message dated 10/1/2009 8:23:09 P.M.

Your reception made me curious as to the level HLSA and JOAK were being heard this morning on my antenna, at the same time (I presume your top-of-the-hour recording was at 1400 UTC). I "rewound the tape" on Perseus, and made a similar recording: http://www.mediafire.com/?m2n1oymd0dj The recording starts with 603 HLSA at 1359:30 and goes through the ID and time pips to the orchestral theme and female announcer at approximately 1300:15.

Re: [IRCA] Belated Day THREE Report from Grayland
Sounds like you had a good time, John.

This is common in Masset. This year in Victoria it's usually RR all the way on 576. I agree, though, that the NHK1 stations at the bottom of the band have been stellar performers this year, and much better for me compared to last year (perhaps helped by the absence of 600 Vancouver). >A few other random notes for the crew going to Grayland tomorrow: > >945 is not always CNR1.

I could also see the wobbly North Korean on the lower side this time. The carrier remained on at the TOH without any time pips or announcements...just dead air. Could this not be Chita with VOR in CC listed on PAL between 13:00 and 14:00, with the carrier remaining on afterwards? >1215 is not always CNR2 On Sept 29th it was CNR2 at 9 level at 13:46.

Re: [IRCA] Belated Day THREE Report from Grayland
John, Great going on your Hohhot on 1458. Never heard that one here, but you might QSL it as I have their other station on 675 QSL'd from a few years back. You may remember the QSL I brought along in old Chinese. That is the QSL from Huhhot. The same address in Huhhot, so give it a shot. Both stations run 200 KW. Maybe the same engineer is still there. You may get a reply in old Chinese as I did though.

[IRCA] This week's TP DX
I've fallen woefully behind in reporting my TP logs for the past few days - a combination of being quite busy at work and getting sucked into watching the PBS TV series about the National Parks. Anyway, here is three days worth of TP DX in one fell swoop. All three days turned out to be pretty good. I reprogrammed the car radio for 9 kHz channels, and this morning was rewarded with clear audio from JOIB-747 w/English lessons 1350 while driving to work and time pips at 1400 while sitting in the parking lot at work. Here's something really weird. I recorded that part of the band on the SDR, but reception at 1400 was significantly better on the car radio - with selectivity as wide as a barn door and the antenna embedded in the rear window - than it was on the SDR-IQ and K9AY combination sitting at home. Go figure. The only difference I could tell was thar KFQD dominated on the home setup and was splattering quite badly onto 747 at the time, whereas the car radio had moderate KXL splatter. I guess this fits in with some of the other strange reception differences us nor'westerners have been reporting so far this season. The car radio also had hets on 693, 729, 738, 972, and 981, ad maybe others that I didn't have time to chase, but no other audio was noted.. Meanwhile, the SDR continued to faithfully record stuff while I slept in, got dressed, and drove to work all three days. Conditions seemed pretty good alll three days. Some highlights include: Tuesday 9/29 549 Kremlin chimes 1159:30 640 KYUK, legal ID 1200, then woman in native language, no sign of KFI 738 Korean talk good, Taiwan in background 1225, HLKG ID by woman then 3+1 pips 1400 fair mixing w/woman in JJ (?), Woman in CC faded up after 1400 729 JOCK JJ talk only about 10 db weaker than Vancouver-730 1232, China dominant 1400 909 NHK time pips 1400 891 Weird mix of pips from 2-3 stns 1400 Wednesday 9/30 549 Russia w/Kremlin chimes 1200 mixing with 5+1 time pips (all the same pitch), not sure the pips were from the Russian or something else 738 presumed Taiwan alone in Chinese 1222, KBS pips u/Taiwan 1400 756 China good w/ theme melody & ID 1400:39 891 Weird mix of pips again, one sounded like from KBS, the other had two long and one very long tone (Thailand???) 890 KBBI good with wx and legal ID for KBBI and KDLL-FM 1400. No sign of usual pest CJDC 830 Probably KSDP with NPR news weak 1401 675 Vietnam good w/woman in Vietnamese 1343 Thursday 10/1 720 Possibly a woman in Asian language 1242. It's hard to get Asians here due to KIRO-710 splatter and KFIR/KDWN co-channel QRM 909 NHK pips mixing w/CC talk, both weak 1400 738 CC talk dominant, several long pips 1400 mixing with KBS 3+1 pips, good signal but weak audio on both, better 1401 w/woman in Korean 837 Mix of 2-3 sets of pips 1400, too weak to decipher 850 KICY good o/KHHO w/ Christian music, legal ID, into pseudo s/on anmt 1400 750 KFQD monster signal with local news items, jingle ID, CBS news o/KXL Now to go pack for a fun filled weekend at Grayland Bruce in Seattle SDR-IQ receiver and K9AY antenna ___ 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

Yikes...and here I was hearing CC briefly on 801 this morning, flipping back and forth between it and 1161 where I was hearing another CC that I'm pretty sure was Taiwanand no ID on the hour from either of course. If that's what's being heard in the cityGrayland should be mighty interesting this weekend!

Was hearing some audio traces from 1215 while packing for Grayland, Nigel, but no more than the last couple of nights, so it was easy to not listen too much further afield.
