Re: [IRCA] 1215 Absolute Radio

Jim, I'd say you have Caceres Spain...

 

My log from Newfoundland this past fall:

 



1107 SPAIN Caceres, RNE5 – 0207 – Radio Nacional d’Espana ID off-frequency on 
1107.11 or so. (.122 per Jean Burnell, who says he also measured it a few 
months earlier there, on May 1/09, at 1107.124. Possible local ID during a RNE 
break, but missed taping this. A second Spanish synchro directly on 1107 (a 
relog) settles the matter for me. At 0215. [I intended to check an online list 
of MW offsets, out of curiosity, but have yet to do this].

 

Barry in Ottawa reports 5 KW Spain synchro under BBC on 693.

This is the 99 watt silent station that on paper just will not go

[IRCA] DX Inspires Van Halen Song

[Tim Kridel]

³It was Dave¹s idea to do ŒBig Bad Bill¹. He bought himself one of those
Sanyo Walkman-type things with the FM-AM radio, and you can record off the
radio if you like something you hear. He was up in his bedroom at his
father¹s house and he found that if he stood in a certain spot and pointed
his antenna a certain way, he picked up this weird radio station in
Louisville, Kentucky. He recorded ŒBig Bad Bill¹ and played it to us, and we
started laughing ourselves silly and going, ŒThat is bad! Let¹s do it!¹"

[IRCA] TP for 31 Mar from Victoria, BC

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Time was at a premium this morning, so only listened for a few minutes after
1325UT.  Either the low band had peaked earlier, or it was just a poor morning
overall, but things weren't too lively, even though a few secondary channels
were showing weak audio.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
briefly):


1566 HLAZ




reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):



972 HLCA
1287 JOHR w/JJ talk at 1328; odd to have the NHK2 big guns weaker than this



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be
understood by a native speaker

747 JOIB
774 JOUB
828 JOBB
1503 JOUK //567 






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) :

567 JOIK //1503; 594 not to be found this morning
1053 jammer and strong carrier
1134 not //972 or 4460, so most likely JOQR
1242
1377 seemed //4460 so CNR-1
1386 NHK2 //828
1476 woman talking; possibly China.  Still trying to track this one down



Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):

1251, 1269, 1593

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 3-31.. 1377 kHz Mystery

[D1028Gary]

Hello All,
 
In general the Asian TP's lost some of their audio strength compared with  
yesterday, but there were several interesting signals, including one UnID  
mystery.
 
Again DXing from 1325-1350 in the back yard (thankfully dry this time), the 
 high band superstations like 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA had fairly good  
audio, but not like on great mornings. The overachieving 1575-AFN station  was 
nowhere to be heard. 1053 kHz had a weak mix of two stations at  1330 (one of 
which was apparently JOAR), and 1134 kHz had a stronger  mix of JOQR and the 
KBS Korean for most of the listening session. 1503-JOUK had  fair audio 
around 1345, but the 1476 kHz carrier (almost in audio, yesterday)  was very ane
mic this morning here.
 
The star of the morning was probably 1377-CNR1, which dominated the  
frequency at a healthy level for most of the morning. At around 1333 (while  
playing electronic instrumental music) the Chinese station had a weak 
co-channel  
TP on the frequency with apparent Korean language, although the co-channel  
was only around for about a minute, and there was no real chance to check 
any  parallels. The weak co-channel can be heard in the beginning of this 
recording  at 1333, mixing with the Chinese station's instrumental music  (but 
neither station's signal was earth-shaking at the time)

 .
 
As usual this week the TP signals dived in unison around the 1400 TOH, with 
 bright sunlight cutting short the mediocre Puyallup version of sunrise  
enhancement. But here in late March, it's probably best to be thankful  for 
what TP's we still have, especially in this modest location.

[IRCA] OT: BPL

[Walter Salmaniw]

Perhaps not exactly on topic, but of concern to all of us who listen to radio.  
I was at my local Costco the other day, killing some time before my wife was 
finished.  I noted a home internet package, using your own electrical wiring to 
distribute internet. Seems to me to be a home version of the dreaded BPL which 
doesn't appear to be going anywhere.  Anyway, the packaging claimed that it 
passed Part 15 FCC Guidelines, but upon further investigation, the box clearly 
states that it uses "2 to 28 MHz".  Ouch!!!  Even a few milliwatts of power 
within a few homes around will be more than enough, I would think, to spoil my 
attempts at DXing.  I sure hope they sell too many, as most people these days 
buy a good wireless router for the same or less than the cost of this beast.  I 
hope they sell none, and ship them all back to wherever they were made!  Anyone 
out there have the nerve to try it themselves?  Comments?  .Walt Salmaniw,

[IRCA] warbler on 730Kc

[texas4421]

Has anyone noticed the "warbler" on 730Kc? It's been there for the past 5 days 
and has been quite strong.

The Wobbler on 730 has been around, or should I say back, for at 
least a couple months, though how well it gets out no doubt varies.


I have it very strong tonight with extreme excursions in frequency, 
which should be good for hearing beyond the "local" area.


Tune USB 729.5 kHz to hear it easier.
