[IRCA] Sushi for breakfast (the appetiser)
Sushi for breakfast in Nfld. Quite literally, with 774 and 828 talking in JJ about bluefin tuna. Started earlier than we expected. Also logged both North and South Korea, Taiwan, China, and maybe a language we concluded we didn't recognize. Jean Burnell has enough Perseus recordings to keep busy till spring, and I have a few dozen from the AOR I'll be working on. There was audio on more channels than I could manage. Some of it close tom airchair, where I was listening in AM mode, and even at times - just for the sheer challenge of it - on the more unfriendly sideband (as opposed to the friendly one). No sign of Down Under. This seemed a transpolar TP event. On the rare occasion I bothered to check, no sign of the western U.S. states or Canadian provinces. Though I probably had OK 1170 and TX 1630. I did have an Asian dominating 1170. Like a smorgasbord all-you-can-eat - it was a challenge keeping iup with all the audio that was happening. Many strong, many also weak and marg! inal. It lasted to around 1130 UTC - well after 8 am local time, about an hour after sunrise. Including the Japanese stations, which surprised us. This was my first ever TP event. Southerly stuff not so good. We had some fairly northern and relatively weaker Russians and ex-Soviets. Not much Brazil noted. More into Europe, though not like last fall when One note: We noted NHK2 Japan running Spanish and (I think) Portuguese, in addition to some English and Japanese. So if you have Spanish on 774 etc in the morning, it might not be a lingering Spain.

The recording linked below has the PL-380 receiving 738-Taiwan at 1443 UTC, in the face of some splatter from 740-KCBS in San Francisco. The MP3 starts with the PL-380 on the 2 kHz setting (for the best combination of audio and selectivity), then steps briefly down to 1 kHz-- followed by approximately 5 seconds in the 6 kHz, 4 kHz, 3 kHz, 2 kHz and finally the 1 kHz DSP filter options. This recording was made with a signal boost provided by an experimental 9' sided PVC box loop. _http://www.mediafire.com/?mnznomi5zwj_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?mnznomi5zwj) The recording is dramatic in showing the effectiveness of the 7434 DSP chip in providing outstanding selectivity (for a $45 radio).

[IRCA] TPs Orcas Island: Nov 16
It was a fair to poor late season morning here, with the only thing seriously in audio above 1100 kHz. being 1575 (more later). Below that, about half the channels having at least some audio, a few times at decent level. The JJs Guns were all there, most at poor levels, strong audio at least briefly on 531, 594, 639, 738, 819, 828, 918, 945 and 1017: a gen-u-wine eclectic mix. 1575 was quite interesting. I had the dominant VOA Thailand in Burmese or something before 1500. I was also hearing Farda at times beneath (// internet) At 1500, there were two sets of pips of somewhat different character, off time by about a third of a second. There was no VOA ID on Thailand at 1500 and it began a news program in EE, with a bit of music... it was focused on Pres. Obama's trip to Asia and relations/activities between the USA and various governments in East Asia. It announced, in EE as Radio Saranrom, 1575 kilohertz.) It was an interesting program that I listened to most of the time from 1500 until 1530. At 1530, they began a program in (maybe) Korean. What fun. I don't know if this is a regular 30 minutes of EE news or a special program due to the Obama trip. In any case, it and the Farda occasionally beneath it, enlivened an otherwise dull late season morning!

Slept in a little this morning, starting at 1445UT; could have slept in a lot longer I think, at least as far as DXing goes. Very erratic signal fade ups (seeing mostly they were down), and a mild improvement in conditions as 1500UT approached, and shortly afterwards.Except for a weakish VoA - 1575, not much upper band activity at all. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 639 CNR-1 //5030 at 1452UT; most consistent TP after this time 774 JOUB at 1455UT; often in the murk 828 JOBB at 1503; very messy on hour, mixing w/CC pips reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 576 Mayak likely at 1456UT 594 JOAK 747 JOIB, not until 1505UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 279 R. Rossii at 1501UT 567 JOIK //594 603 mx, possibly Korea? 648 some mx just before hour, faded by hour, VoR? 972 HLCA likely at 1501UT 1575 VoA, didn't check the other antenna for Farda Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : 531 JOQG //594 at 1509 558 at 1510UT 783 at 1507 792 at 1507 945 likely //5030? 963 big carrier, bits of audio at 1512UT 1134 Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 666, 1098; 1566 didn't make the grade at all this morning. 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] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-16... Uninspiring
Hello All, After yesterday's disturbed conditions, this morning's TP expectations were not high-- and the band certainly lived up to the low expectations. A quick scan on the modified ICF-2010 at 1420 revealed very poor TP levels, with weak audio only on 738-Taiwan Fisheries and 666-JOBK (for some bizarre reason). The other NHK powerhouses were only moderate carriers from 1420-1430. It was an easy decision not to set up the large loops in the back yard. Another quick ICF-2010 scan at 1455 revealed that the band had improved somewhat-- to mediocre conditions. The NHK powerhouses now had weak audio, along with weak audio on 603-HLSA, 639-CNR1, 648-VOR, 657-Pyongyang and 972-HLCA. These were not the desired conditions, however, and it seemed hopeless to stick around to try for anything new. Despite the two-day doldrum stretch, from previous seasons I recall that mid-November propagation is usually better than this, with a few good days mixed in with the bad. So with great optimism (and a newly improved 7.5' nasty weather PVC Loop) I'm looking forward to more Asian TP surprises, along with the typical rain and wind that pounds Puget Sound every November. 73, Gary DeBock ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] sort of TA
Similar results here. Checked out things after getting back from Lamont and heard audio on the usual suspects (i.e. 1134 and 1215), with 675 and 855 bordering on audio, but just carriers elsewhere. Last nights TA's from Lamont were much more interesting, if short-lived. Checking the Perseus recording I found about a 4 minute period of enhanced reception where I was getting middle-east type of audio on 531, 981, 1098, as well as a good Spanish signal on 1107. That's the only time those 4 signals were noted all night, and I would have caught one, at best, without the Perseus. On the other hand 864 from Armenia was doing well for over half an hour, with no trace of the usual France. We had 531 Faroes for a short while, 855 was Romania early, with Spain later, and CRI via Finland on 963 would show up occassionally. (Likely forgetting something as I'm going from memory, not having unpacked my notes yet.) 73, Nigel Pimblett back in Dunmore, Alberta sa...@sounddsl.com wrote: I agree - sort of TA tonight. Audio from 675, 756, 1215 and 1269 good enough for // with their web sites, but very weak signals. Perhaps it's a good night to wrap that new balun you've always been thinking about... Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA Have heard brief audio (quite weak) on 1215 (the best, recognizably EE talk), 1269, 1575, and very briefly, 594, so far this evening. Very spotty though.
