Re: [IRCA] 1710 kHz Pirate station in Portland, OR caught by FCC

[vroomski]

Patrick,

I paid $12.99 for the Talking House transmitter.  The Goodwill store had 3 of 
them.
When I plugged it into a ground-fault outlet, it tripped the breaker.  It works
when pugged into a regular AC outlet.  4 ft wire for a antenna in our den,
I could hear it a house or two away on the Escape radio.  On the bottom of the 
transmitter it says that it complies with Part 15 of FCC rules of regulations.
Last time I visited the Goodwill store the other two were gone.  One sold on 
e-bay
last week for around $32.00.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 kHz Pirate station in Portland, OR caught by FCC

[vroomski]

Walt,

About 6 months ago I track a Russian station on 1710 kHz to a neighborhood near 
164 th street
in Vancouver.  Very expensive homes in this neighborhood.  Have not heard this 
station
this summer in my visits to the area.  It seems that the Seattle area Russian 
station on 
1710 is still transmitting?  In the Portland, OR area we have a Resident agent 
office while
Seattle has a District office.

Pat,

The Seattle area Russian station on 1710 is just a level 3 carrier here.
I recently purchase a "Talking House" transmitter at Goodwill.  It works
and allows up to 90 seconds of recording on the build in recorder.

[IRCA] WQFA538 1670 TIS from Des Moines

[neilkaz]

It is always fun to catch TIS's by skip on the X-band channels ! Last night 
during what were mundane cx for distant skip, I noted this IA DOT TIS at times 
coming thru WTDY and the QRM behind it with Des Moines area interstate traffic 
info. I-35,I-80, and I-235 mentioned. Relog but the clearest that I've heard 
this and a good example of BOG directivity since Des Moines is west and pesky 
WTDY 100 times stronger and lots closer to the NW. Last season I had the two 
eastern IA TIS's on 1680 also, but they weren't in last night, if they still 
are on.

the Late 70's/Early 80's should remember WHYP RADIO (Whip Radio) which
was located in a small town called "NORTH EAST, PA". This station was a
MOM and POP run station, Daytime Only on 1530 AM and 100.9 FM. James
Brownyard and his Wife were head cook and bottle washer for the station
which had a VERY LOCAL Flavour. James would play OLD COUNTRY Records and
read the News from the Newspaper (You could hear the Paper rustling in
the background)!! Sometimes he would put an Album onand go cut the
Grass, leaving the record to skip for 20 Minutes while he was gone!! It
was Classic!! He would look out the window and give the Local Weather
Report and crazy stuff like that. After James moved on...the AM and FM
outlets were sold to othersThe FM became "ROCKET 101 (100.9) from
ERIE, PA., Playing Classic Rock and the AM Outlet is still on the Air on
1530 Khz as WYNE from NORTH EAST, PA. , Playing Oldies. The Old WHYP
CALLSIGN has been Dead for some time til just a few weeks ago when a
CORRY, PA. station picked it up. WWCB in Corry, traded their Call in for
the Classic WHYP and is now transmitting as such with an Oldies/Classic
Rock type format. They are calling themselves "COOL 1370", and I have
read that they picked "WHYP" as a callsign for it's local history and to
honour the late Mr. Brownyard. WHYP RADIO was of course also honoured by
a SHORT WAVE PIRATE station using those same calls some years ago!! I
feel quite honoured to have Logged all 3 of the original WHYP's!!! AM,
FM, and SHORTWAVE PIRATE!! Last night I finally heard the Re-Incarnation
of WHYP on 1370 to complete the Saga!! It's a RELOG of the EX-WWCB from
Corry, PA...but significant enough to spawn this little story!! If
you're in the Great Lakes Areagive a listen on 1370 for the New
WHYP...it's not too powerful...but it may get out a ways at Sunset Skip!!

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-9

[D1028Gary]

Hello All,
 
Asiatic TP conditions here were about the same as yesterday in  this 
DU-dead zone, so it seems that I escaped the downturn noted by Steve and  
Nigel. 
The best audio of the new season was heard from 648-Voice of Russia  (which 
only started to show up yesterday) and 738-BEL2 in Taiwan, both of  which 
provided fairly good recordings around 1315.  1134-CNR1 had  a vibrant signal 
during a classical music program just before the sunrise  enhancement 
collapsed here (around 1335).  Dennis is receiving some  TP's that aren't 
coming 
here (and vice versa), but in general the TP  propagation to Puyallup seems 
similar to that of Salmon Creek.
 
The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5" loopstick)  
inductively coupled to a 7.5' sided PVC tuned passive loop in the back  yard:
 
594  JOAK  Tokyo, Japan   Weak to fair  NHK1 Japanese audio at 1307
648  VOR  Razdolnoye, Russia   Good signal with YL  speech during Mandarin 
Chinese
program at 1314  
_http://www.mediafire.com/?uxir638r98g4lp5_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?uxir638r98g4lp5) 
657  Pyongyang, N. Korea   Fair-good angry  Korean during sunrise 
enhancement
666  JOBK  Osaka, Japan  Fair Japanese audio in and out  around 1310
738  BEL2  Penghu, Taiwan  Good Mandarin Chinese YL signal  during pop music
program around 1317 
_http://www.mediafire.com/?3qa45nceyakdiou_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?3qa45nceyakdiou) 
747  JOIB  Sapporo, Japan  Fair to good Japanese speech in  KXL splatter, 
1309
828  JOBB  Osaka, Japan  Fair NHK2 program for most of  sunrise enhancement
936  China (presumed)  Threshold audio only around 1311; faded  fast
972  HLCA  Dangjin, S. Korea  Fair Korean speech at  1322, weaker than 
yesterday
1053  Korean Jammer  Buzzing along nicely at 1324 over weak  UnID co-channel
1134  JOQR  Tokyo, Japan  Weakly on frequency at 1259, then  yielded to CNR1
1134  CNR1  Golmud, China  Chinese up and down in  strength at 1329, but 
great signal 
 during  classical music program  
_http://www.mediafire.com/?746iq21291kh54x_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?746iq21291kh54x)  
1566  HLAZ  Jeju, S. Korea  Strong signals during Japanese  religious 
program, 1320
1575  VOA  Ban Rassom, Thailand  Weak-fair Asiatic language  audio in and 
out after 1300
 
73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock

[IRCA] TP for 9 Sep from Victoria, BC

[Nick Hall-Patch]

I now have a somewhat larger corner fed antenna up ("Superloop"), but still 
just mostly the "regulars"; might have had Taiwan on 1143 however.   Overall 
signal strengths were better during my listening from 1250 to 1305 and from 
1325 to 1335UT, but even then, a little preamplification didn't hurt.



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):

774 JOUB
1287 JOHR, JJ talk at 1328UT

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

594 JOAK
747 JOIB
828 JOBB
972 HLCA
1143 Taiwan?  talk was rather murky though fairly strong; will need to listen 
to the recording



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) :

873 JOGB //774



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

1053 (still can't drag audio out of this), 1098, 1242, 1475

best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] This morning's DU chase from IL

[neilkaz]

This morning seemed clearly worse than yesterday, however, I got to the set a 
bit late at 1124. Only very weak carriers on 612,702,and 738 noted.

Last evening's cx towards the west were quite poor as well execpt for shorter 
skip like IA and Omaha. KOA was reasonable but not overpowering like it can be. 
At 2145 CDT when I came in, I still couldn't get CBW well, and there'd been no 
trace of MT,AB or WA.

Re: [IRCA] Alberta TP/DU for 9 Sep 2009

[Nigel Pimblett]

What DU/TPs is all I can ask today.Yesterday's TP audio was 
completely lacking today, and nothing DU rose up to take it's place.  A 
fair number of carriers, all seemingly of DU origin, but nothing that 
reached audio.  Definitely the low point for the month thus far.

Astronomers have long used the same technique (black stars on a white
backgrounhd) when visually scanning photographic plates looking for
faint nebulas, comet tails etc.  It's highly effective I feel.

Re: [IRCA] This morning's DU chase from IL

[Bill Whitacre]

I can't compete with Kaz BOGs this far east but yesterday morning was one of 
the best for my long-standing daily attempt to get audio out of 738 -- right at 
sunrise too.

After seeing Neil's email I went back through the Perseus recording at the time 
738 was best -- around 1035utc -- and found 'traces', some VERY weak, on:

702
738
819
846
1512
1548

I use Guy Atkin's suggested 'reverse x-ray' palette to aid in 'seeing' 
potential signals.

Screen shots of the above are here:



None of these produced any audio.  738 was closest and in USB or LSB one can 
tell there is modulation but not that it's male or female voice or what 
language is being spoken.  :-(

Someday though ...
