[IRCA] TA signs
at 0045, there's quite a few TA carriers here in Victoria, mostly weak but audible with the BFO on, maybe about half the channels. Best ones so far are 864, 1134, 1215, 1269, and 1422. and I'm going out this evening, hi.

Conditions on the AM band were pretty good, with many interesting catches especially from the Americas. Check out the details at http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/lem278rep.dx - a log will follow some time next year, as listening with Perseus takes time. It's always fun to see DXpeditions from other locations, Mika, and interesting to see that Bangladesh-693 was being heard in Lapland at a similar time to Bruce and Chuck logging it at Grayland the following day. It was also interesting to hear that conditions there were good but not spectacular, as Grayland on the 3rd and 4th was pretty outstanding. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have not been regulars from there, and TA's are also the exception!

Re: [IRCA] Victoria TP's for 10/17/09 First Flush
I'd concur with Colin, an uninspiring morning. In fact, when I first tuned in it was downright dreadful, however it recovered enough to be uprated. I also noted the Japanese big guns to be well down from yesterday. For some reason what seemed to be a Chinese station playiing a lengthy vocal by a woman was doing quite well at 1330, but that was about the only unusual reception noted. Other more regular Chinese catches, such as 945, 1044, 1206 were either feeble or missing entirely. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta c...@islandnet.com wrote: Listened from 1345 to 1422UTC - And although the lower band (531 to 855) was perky, it was a pretty empty water closet over all.

[IRCA] TP for 17 Oct from Victoria, BC
Well, definitely a step down from yesterday. Started listening at 1350UT, and although things became more readable around 1415 (splatter fading down plus some real signal strength increase), the sheer volume of channels with signals was down, as was overall strength, and nothing too unusual was heard. One thing of interest is that at 1618UT, there was still weak audio on 1287, so winter is coming. (local sunrise is 1435UT) pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 279 R. Rosii 594 JOAK 747 JOIB but not until 1420UT 774 JOUB 828 JOBB but only briefly, usually at a lower level this morning 1287 JOHR, actually not really strong, but quite clear, 1436UT 1575 VoA reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 567 JOIK //594 at 1406 603 HLSA seemed// 558 but it was the weaker station; the other had music, so no idea 666 JOBK //594, had a couple of pretty good peaks 675 Vietnam //weaker 5975 at 1415 702 hum , N. Korea //2850, NHK2 under 738 mx at 1435UT 945 CNR-1 at 1427 954 JOKR w/JJ talk at 1439 972 HLCA, big carrier not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 153//189 R. Rossii 531 JOQG//594 558 usual mix JJ/KK 639 CNR1, 2 or 3 second delay from 5030 657 hum and N. Korea 936 CC 846 //594 at 1423, so NHK1 synchros, but trading places w/possible KBS station as well, so tough copy 1161 at 1410, but mx, so no hope of ID 1269 briefly at this level, and seemed //1287, but quickly gone, so not quite a logging 1377 CNR1 1503 JOUK //594 1512 sounded like CC talk at 1419UT 1566 HLAZ presumed w/big carrier Burbles in the splatter and noise: 765 837 CC? 855 mostly hum 873 w/hum, so N.

Re: [IRCA] Victoria TP's for 10/17/09 First Flush
Well, I'm somewhat glad to hear of the pedestrian conditions. I went out yesterday in the rain to re-install my Wellbrook loop heads here after the trip to Grayland and then set the alarm this morning for well before dawn. Got up, fired up the receiver and ZAP! the lights went out on three of the four islands in our off-shore county. They were out for well over two hours. All three islands that went dark are served by the same undersea power cable and that is probably what went out. Happily, there is a backup cable or our power outage would have been a whole lot longer. In any case, I heard no TPs this morning, but there is definite hope for tomorrow!

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-17... Another Late Surge
Hello All, The modest band reported by Colin suddenly came alive here around 1420, and several UnID TP mysteries that have continued for days were finally solved. Thanks to John and Chuck, (and a few snatches of live Korean this morning) the constant-music 1107 kHz station was finally identified as the 10 kw MBC station HLAV. This was a very tough one to ID, and without the help from John and Chuck (who mentioned that the station is never very strong, even at Grayland), it probably would have stayed UnID indefinitely. It had been rising above the noise level occasionally for four days straight, usually with western-type music. In another mystery, the weak signal on 1125 kHz suddenly became strong Mandarin Chinese conversational audio at 1423, indicating the identity as one of the two Chinese stations on the frequency. This was another weak mystery that had dragged on for days. Finally, during the same short TP surge around 1425, CNR1 in Mandarin Chinese joined the KBS station on 1134, with both of them about equal in strength. This was the first time to hear China on 1134 kHz here, which is usually dominated by KBS (and occasionally JOQR). So the morning was actually very productive here (on the 9' box loop), even though it sounded mediocre until around 1415. Even the weather cooperated-- the rain held off until 1440, when the TP-chasing fun next to the huge loop (in the back yard) was over :-) 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP (7.5 Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 IF filter) 9' PVC-frame tuned passive loop (in the back yard) ___ 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] Power Outage on Orcas Island
Believe me, Nick, I really thought about the current draw on that receiver when I punched on the 313e and my shack lights went out less than 30 seconds later. I was quite relieved when I looked out the windows and found the entire town also jet black. Had I known in advance, I'd have gotten a 12 VDC supply from my deep cycle battery (for the Wellbrook) and used my E-1 for some TP DXing on an AC-less island.. Instead my Polar Fleece Lap Robe grabbed me around the ankles and threw me, bodily, into my Lazy Boy Rocking Recliner. Retirement is a nasty job, but sumbuddy has to do it!

Re: [IRCA] DX Tip for WDXR
Hi Dennis, Thanks. I never tryed for it. I knew it was on the air. I fiqured they would be out considering the other Bend stations. But it took me off guard as it IDed without my recorder going! I'll try the next hour. I still do not have a good log on the new station in Redmon on 1240 either. I logged it (I think) in SS, but no real ID. I got the old KPRB many years ago. I was happy with KRAM 1070 last week too.

Shoulda been in bed hours before, but since I was still awake, I decided to see what was there. Radio Shack DX394 with Palomar Loop was noisy thanks to power lines, and Grundig 350 wasn't any better.

Hets (some strong) on 1206, 1188, 981 (almost breaking into voice), 972, 891, 882, 873, 828, 792 (almost into audio), 774, 747 (miracle considering KCBS proximity), 621, 567 (another local miracle), and JOAK on 594.

[IRCA] IBOC reception
This past week a new toy, a Sony XDRF1HD HD Radio Tuner arrived in my radio shack. For the past couple of days I have had a chance to play around with it. I already like it. With it, I am able to tune the first adjacents on FM. AM seems okay enough, but it does suffer a little bit from overload. Last night I tried it out on several IBOC stations in this part of the country. It was able to decode at least five different stations that were received by skywave. WBZ was the easiest of the bunch. This evening I managed to decode WOR for about one minute. So it is possible to DX decoded IBOC signals, as challenging as it is. As I have some time, I will write a more comprehensive report. lately.

Eric,Signal on 1410 is now good for listening at work in southwest corner of Victoria and even comes in on Sony pocket radio in office building,but 1040 is still not strong enough here to listen to and is washed out after sunset.last month for a couple of days 1040 threw a good signal into Victoria during tests I guess but has not done so since then.If they are still fine tuning the hardware why is it taking them so long?And are they going to beam this way or keep the night time signal east -west like they were before the upgrade? I'd like to have them here with local signal so that I don't have to tune into local 1070's delayed and unreliable hook-up for the NHL Canucks games.Bill in Victoria __ Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8.

[IRCA] Anyone out west (or out east) hearing KGYN 1210?
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. During a MW bandscan while waiting in a western Enid store parking lot, which is known to be a good hotspot for MW reception, I was getting only a very weak SAH on 1210, Oct 16 at 2105 UT. KGYN Guymon, despite its great distance in No Man`s Land, normally owns the channel in daytime. I must conclude they were either off the air or doing penance for running nondirexional at night so much, by running the direxional antenna with null toward Philadelphia, and almost toward Enid, in the daytime! ``Newsradio 1200, WOAI`` already audible at 2107, but weak enough that its IBOC on 1210 was not yet a problem. Next check at 1740 UT Oct 17, on DX-398 in the yard away from home noise sources: nothing audible on 1210.

[IRCA] WEST Coast TA's again...
Stifling a yawn, I have come to realize that TA's on the West coast of North America are now as reliable as gravity, Canada Post and Canadian socialized medicine. Which says something. Carriers here there and everywhere... No charge. Peakers include 531 (X2), 936, 963, 1134, 1215... -- ..

Re: [IRCA] WEST Coast TA's again...
Enjoy the TA's while you can, as they wont be there forever I remember well the DUs of the early 80s with night after night after night with 2 or 3, sometimes 4 on some channels, Darwin 657, PNG 585 and 864, 100 watters, you name it, even several from Western Australia. I thought they would go on forever, but by 1985 the pipeline had faded, not to be heard like that again. Stations like 4MK 1026 armchair copy night afte night. I would type my column listening to their Top 30 countdown. They were S9+20 at times! Ah the good ol' days, but unfortunately they don't last. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ 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

I had piddly little carriers on 855 864 963 1215. That's about it. It's time to go watch the UW football game on TV.

Agree. Getting difficult copy of 1134 and 1215, but not very well. Doesn't look too promising tonight! .Walt.

Hmm. I have been listening since 1975 and I do not recall that kind of activity in the early 80's -- Oh yes, those conditions were there, big time!

Re: [IRCA] frustrating TA 18 Oct 09
Yes, it's lot of work tonight to get much in the way of results. A few highlights: - heard This is Moscow on 1548 as VoR signed on at 0300 - Sweden is not bad currently on 1179 - what sounds likeSpain is struggling to be heard on 1008 in the CBR splatter. - Egypt has audio on 819, but not as good as yesterday One of those nights that would have been more appreciated in the leaner years! 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta Nick Hall-Patch wrote: Audio is there, but it's very sporadic and doesn't last long 0115 and 0131UT presumed Farda. but back into the murk before the webstream could be accessed 0130UT brief, fair strength audio on 1269 and 1377 0157UT instrumental mx, fair and soon gone on 756 0158UT 1134 briefly w/fair audio 0159UT1503 has been showing a good carrier, and it might have had some high pitched flute mx at this time, but soon faded 0200UT 963 woman talking across hour, no sign of any IS or other means of identification (and of course, 1215 with audio from time to time; might also have had 819 with male Arabic vocals, but gone by the time I punched up the SW // on another receiver) Now, at 0220, things seem a bit dismal even in comparison to the above 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 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] WCRV 640 out of state
** U S A. Tuning around MW for traces of TA carriers (there were a few), Oct 18 at 2310 UT I found that WWLS OK had turned off its IBOC noise surrounding 640 and was also quite nullable on the DX-398, so I could hear instead a strong, steady signal from elsewhere: disgusting anti-choice discussion mentioning what was going on in Southern California. KFI? Surely not this early. Continued without breaks until wrap-up at 2327, someone on phone from Kansas with Operation Rescue, then about Nebraska and Wichita, turned out to be Troy Newman, but show host sounded like Dick Fox, on The Complete Chapter? Not at all sure of either name as mumbled quickly. But nice clear full ID at 2329 as ``Covering Memphis, WCRV, Collierville-Memphis.`` LSS is 2330 UT in October, so was still running 50 kW non-direxional daytime; no wonder it overcame WWLS. Unfortunately I did not keep listening to hear if and when they really dropped to 480 watts night, direxional away from LA and OK. Looking further thru FCC info via AM Query, for facility number 6486, I see that WCRV transmitter site is axually barely in Mississippi. Tiger map shows it right on the state line, but coordinate is: 34° 59' 35.00 N Latitude Power: 50.0 kilowatts (kW) Daytime i.e. 25 seconds south of the 35th parallel which forms the southern boundary of Tennessee from end to end (tho there is a jog in the middle at Pickwick Lake, per Rand McNally atlas, presumably due to a surveying error long ago) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ___ 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
