[IRCA] 1040 Asian Heard Again - Korean?
Last night I listened yet again to the Far Eastern language station on 1040. When I first tuned in on the Grundig S-350, WHO was very strong but could just here the Asian underneath. I decided to do my own poor-man's phasing. I first rotated the Grundig where WHO's null was the best and then placed my old Select-a-tenna near the radio, peaked it where WHO was even stronger and then slowly rotated that to get a null on WHO. Using this trick, a COMPLETE null was placed on WHO, leaving only the Asian at armchair level. I listened from 1740 to the abrupt power cut at 1800. Nothing identifiable (calls, city and so on) in the talking by a female. They played snippets of 60's pop songs, such as Hey Jude and then a Far Eastern version of Silver Bells. Saul and maybe KAZ mentioned Vietnamese but maybe it is Korean? Look what I dug up: http://www.atlantaradiokorea.com/AM1040MediaKit.pdf I will email them. 73, Dave Hascall Indianapolis ___ 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] not much TP for 4 Dec from Victoria, BC (any?)
Amazingly poor conditions! The solar and geomagnetic conditions are completely flat, and so was the DX. Things were not helped by a new local noise source, but there didn't seem much there to be concealed by the noise. Many of the big guns didn't even make it to audio when I checked; 774 was best and never more than mildly readable. 873 was the other NHK2 signal of any regularity, and not there that much anyway. Only other thing unusual was that when a weak signal showed on 1593 and seemed NHK2 (hard to get a parallel) rather than the more common CNR1. Having said that, 1575 had just about as good quality audio at 1615UT as it did at 1415 or 1515UT. Maybe Steve Ratzlaff can weigh in on longwave conditions. 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] BOG question
Let me ask this again: I've been toying with the idea of getting 5-600' of wire and hooking it to either my old DX-400 or newer S-350 and heading to the soccer fields, near work. I do understand that both radios have built in antennas and that it would interject some signals too but at least I could orient the radio to compliment the BOG. I used the DX-400 with a Sanserino loop in much the same way. Both radios have two terminals, which one would I put the end of the BOG into (not using coax)? An old Hallicrafters that I had as a kid had a similar A1 / A2 setup and a little metal blade that would short out A2, if desired. Would plugging the BOG wire directly into one would work and would I need to do a small jumper from that one to the other one (A2)?

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 12-4... 1503 kHz Follies
Hello All, Like Nick and Colin, I was very unimpressed with this morning's TP propagation initially, and thought that the band was a total bust. Around 1450 all the powerhouse TP's were struggling to maintain audio, and this mediocre situation did not improve at all by 1510. Only 738-Taiwan and 594-JOAK had weak audio by 1512, and even they were near the noise level. Ready to write off the band, I gave one final check on the high band TP's, not expecting to find even a strong carrier. The first frequency to check was 1503 kHz, and much to my surprise, JOUK in northern Japan had decent audio-- the only decent TP audio on the entire band at that time (1514 UTC). This was a station that had never been heard here at much above the noise level, and now it was fairly strong with the distinctive NHK1 interval music: _http://www.mediafire.com/?mujdjookh4g_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?mujdjookh4g) Listening in as this weird propagation boost continued, I wrapped up the recording at 1516, with JOUK's NHK1 interval music coming to a close. I didn't know until listening with headphones later that there was a definite TP co-channel on the 1503 kHz frequency with JOUK at 1516, apparently either Korean or Chinese: _http://www.mediafire.com/?nm5wnzki42t_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?nm5wnzki42t) I quickly checked 1494 kHz to hopefully hear the UnID Japanese from a week ago, but there was only a weak carrier on the frequency. 1566 and 1575 kHz also were nothing special, with only weak carriers on both at 1518. I have no idea why only 1503 kHz had such a weird, sudden propagation boost this morning, but even JOUK was only a weak carrier by 1519. Probably this is one reason why TP-chasing is so fascinating, and why it's so hard to give it up even in the December doldrum month :-) 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP (7.5 Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 IF filter) 9' and 7.5' (side) PVC tuned passive loops (in the cold 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

The A1/A2 combo that I know is usually matched with another contact that goes to the receiver's ground, and the jumper would be between A2 and the ground connector (not between A1 and A2 as I read you suggesting).A1/A2 were otherwise used with a dipole or other balanced antenna, and there would be no jumper to the ground in that case. Hope that helps.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 12-4... 1503 kHz Follies
Hi Nick, Thanks for your comments about the bizarre 1503 kHz reception of JOUK (and an UnID co-channel TP) around 1514 UTC this morning. It was certainly a surprise, being very much out of character with the rest of the mediocre TP propagation. As you described very well, I have also noticed the coattail effect where weaker co-channel TP's will often be heard along with the dominant station during sudden, strange propagation boosts. This happened quite a bit in November on 594 kHz here, with either the UnID Chinese or the KBS1 Korean fading in together with NHK1 JOAK, even when the rest of the band was relatively dead. It seems like the selective propagation boost is for one frequency only (like this morning's weird 1503 kHz boost), leaving the rest of the band unimproved. During the sudden 1503 kHz boost there was only a weak carrier on 1494 (nowhere near audio). Although my TP-DXing experience certainly isn't much compared to yours (or that of other noted DXers), I have involuntarily become quite familiar with the NHK1 interval music, primarily because of the time spent on 594 kHz chasing the KBS1 Korean (and the UnID Chinese) recently. It seems this interval music is played not only before the top of the hour, but in between individual programs, such as it was in this morning's 1515 UTC recording of 1503-JOUK. The NHK1 interval music also was inadvertently recorded in many recent 594 kHz MP3's of the Chinese and Korean stations mixing with JOAK here, such as midway into this short recording of the UnID Chinese mixing with JOAK on November 27th: _http://www.mediafire.com/?dxhguvjwyjy_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?dxhguvjwyjy) Last month this 594 kHz NHK1 interval music was somewhat irritating because it covered up the DX I was chasing, but this morning it provided a de facto identification of 1503-JOUK, since 594-JOAK was down in the noise at the time :-) 73, Gary In a message dated 12/4/2009 11:42:37 A.M.

Re: [IRCA] 1040 Asian Heard Again - Korean?
Someone IDed this earlier today as the Conyers GA station. Don K. Bill Harms wrote: Do you have an audio clip? I speak Korean. Bill Harms HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS wrote: Last night I listened yet again to the Far Eastern language station on 1040. When I first tuned in on the Grundig S-350, WHO was very strong but could just here the Asian underneath. I decided to do my own poor-man's phasing. I first rotated the Grundig where WHO's null was the best and then placed my old Select-a-tenna near the radio, peaked it where WHO was even stronger and then slowly rotated that to get a null on WHO. Using this trick, a COMPLETE null was placed on WHO, leaving only the Asian at armchair level. I listened from 1740 to the abrupt power cut at 1800. Nothing identifiable (calls, city and so on) in the talking by a female. They played snippets of 60's pop songs, such as Hey Jude and then a Far Eastern version of Silver Bells. Saul and maybe KAZ mentioned Vietnamese but maybe it is Korean?

[IRCA] On the road
In Plainview, Texas, for a basketball tournament, I've run across a new Mexican station that's been dominant at sunrise and sunset on the car radio on the road. As I've listened, I concluded it was either XEHB or XEHP in Hidalgo del Parral, Radio Viva (Vida, or Vita, or Villa) cincuenta mil wats, dominating 730 khz between Matador and Nazareth. Programming around sunset is one of these many-voiced studio and phone funny shows with lots of sound-effects and laugh-tracks that we hear in the morning on U.S. Spanish-speaking stations. The full ID that comes at the beginning of long commercial strings at about :08 and :38 actually includes call letters and frequency in English, prior to the Spanish CL, a real surprise. I checked Cantu from the motel tonight, and find he has XEHB-730, Radio Viva Villa, in Hidalgo del Parral, so my ears are still good! Also in Plainview, Wednesday night, all day Thursday, and this morning, KVOP-1090 was off the air. KRLD IBOC, KAAY and XEMCA we! re heard.

[IRCA] WLAC-1510 with no IBOC?
Has WLAC-1510 turned it's IBOC off? I am hearing 1500 from Washington, DC and no IBOC hash. Can someone verify this for me?

[IRCA] little bit of TA
Hardly a decent response to an all day K of 0 and solar wind of under 250 km/secbut there is actually rock mx struggling with the splatter on 1215 just after 0500UT.

Re: [IRCA] WRUN 1150 NY QRT?
** U S A. *** NEWSFLASH - WAMC's Mt. Greylock transmitter is is back on the air. WAMC FM 90.3: Was off the air for several hours on 11/30/09 due to a scheduled power outage by National Grid. Power has been restored and so has our signal. Thanks for your patience. Announcement: We are signing WRUN-AM 1150 off the air today. It will no longer be a part of the WAMC network. Please listen to WRUN 90.3 in Remsen. 11/30/09 (from http://www.wamc.org/engineering.html via DXLD) A note to listeners of WRUN AM 1150 is in order. As of the end of November we will cease operation of that station. When we acquired WRUN it was with no expectation that we could get an FM signal in the area. Since WRUN-FM at 90.3 came on the air this past summer we now have FM and HD Radio signals in the area. Please tune to 90.3 for the continuation of our service. Until Next Month, Good Listening! (WAMC Dec program guide via DXLD) WRUN 1150 is/was in Utica, 5/1 kW U4. So WAMC ceases operation of it, but is it still on the air or will it return under other ownership? Shame to just ditch it when it could still have provided alternate programming, even IBOC! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Overnight in the wee hours of 12/03/09 (Thursday), a friend of mine on the way home from work, caught WRUN 1150 on the air again with frequent WRUN, Utica IDs and what amounted to automated light adult contemporary and instrumentals. The new owner is DIGITAL RADIO BROADCASTING, INC. There is a CP to change WRUN from 5kw day 3 tower DA, 1kw night 5 tower DA to 4kw day 4 tower DA, 370 watts night 4 tower DA and change the city of license from Utica NY to nearby New Hartford NY. The COL change is a result of the change in power and pattern as the present city grade signal will no longer fall over the city of Utica. WRUN-AM 1150 isn't gone, it is just going through some major changes.

Re: [IRCA] KDUN 1030
Dennis, Glad you heard KDUN. I am a bit surprised they don't get out better. But I do remember back in living in Portland in the 70s, the coast was not all that strong. KTIL 1590 was probably the best out of the bunch. 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
Re: [IRCA] KDUN 1030
Pat, KMBD 1590 was also heard on the Escape radio. Their the dominate station on 1590 here on the home radio during the day. Though today in the Escape a Spanish speaking station was over KMBD at times. Could this be KLFE?
