Re: [IRCA] early eveningTAs
I was in WI and testing my Perseus. Love it, but make sure that you cable your antennas in or you may have some laptop generated noise. Nothing I have ever used can do what the Perseus can do with its filters and the ability to shape them perfectly combined with a stunningly good notch. TA cx remain poor here in the midwest on MW...but LW was good.

Re: [IRCA] KTRP 1130 testing Sunday
Dennis, This morning while getting ready for church, I tuned across the dial and I noticed KTRP back testing. The same signal here. Under CKWX off NE EWE, but on top of CKWX off SW EWE. The Canadians are as strong as ever here. :-) Plenty of them. CBU is the strongest. 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

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA (very early) TP's for 11-29
Hello All, Having discovered some pretty healthy Asian TP signals around the pretty unhealthy local hour of 0300 yesterday, it was an easy decision to try for more DXing success during the Asian sunset period early this morning. Unfortunately the TP's that were fairly strong yesterday seemed up and down in strength this time, and second-tier Asian audio was nowhere to be found. Around 0930 UTC the NHK powerhouses (594, 747, and 828 kHz) and usually strong Koreans (603 and 972 kHz) seemed to fade in and fade out in unison, similar to the rare TA appearances here in late October. At one moment all the NHK powerhouses (and 603/ 972 Koreans) would have decent audio, then they would all dive together down into the noise. This was in contrast to yesterday morning's session, when not only the powerhouses were strong and steady, but stations like 1287-JOHR and 1503-JOUK had audio. 738-Taiwan was one of the stronger stations around 0945, but there was no mainland Chinese co-channel like yesterday around 1100. Even though this morning's weird propagation was different from recent sunrise DXing sessions, it wasn't probably wasn't good enough to compensate for the inconvenient hour. I guess the Asian TP season really is coming to an end, no matter when you decide to DX :-) 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP ultralight (7.5" Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 IF filter) 9' and 7.5' (side) PVC tuned passive loops (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] Alberta TPs for 29 Nov 2009
My last morning for a bit was definitely more interesting than most of late. In actual fact the traditional TPs from coastal regions weren't really much better than yesterday, but the morning was saved by the reappearance of signals from central Asia. This morning's audio between 1330 and 1500: 693 - Japan - barely there 747 - Japan 774 - Japan 828 - Japan -very weak 972 - Korea - best TP signal of the morning 1026 - Russian (from a site near Novosibirsk I believe) 1107 - bits of audio, most likely Urumqi 1134 - CNR1 alone - 2nd best TP signal of the morning 1314 - no audio, but noted someone well off frequency at 1314.10 1521 - CRI in Russian (Urumqi) 1548 - DW Sri Lanka (several peaks. each providing about 2 minutes of audio) 1566 - good carrier, but only very faint traces of audio, presumably Korea 1575 - no audio, but did note a second carrier on 1574.94 1593 - traces of audio, presumably CNR1 Certainly not the best trans-polar morning of the season, but welcome after the recent doldrums (and enough to cause me some regret about not being in Alberta tomorrow morning!) 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___ 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 tried for the test, not really expecting to hear it.
