Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-12

2010-09-13 Thread D1028Gary
Hello All,
 
For anyone with superior Asian language identification skills (Korean or  
Japanese) able to listen to the entire 729 kHz MP3 from the TP-DXing  session 
this morning (2.48 MB, just over 2 minutes), it has been uploaded  to
 
   _http://www.mediafire.com/?d0k54axtour55v5_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?d0k54axtour55v5).  
 
 
The recording was made through 730-CHMJ splatter using a modified  
Ultralight radio, and is not exactly high fidelity. The language of the  female 
speaker (under the splatter) is either Korean or Japanese, and informed  
opinions would be appreciated..

Hi  Bruce,

Thanks for listening to the 729 kHz MP3. The lady is speaking  so  quickly 
that it's tough to be 100% sure of the language, and even  though my  first 
inclination was Korean, there was no Pyongyang BS  parallel to check at the 
 
time. You could be right about possible  Japanese. The 729 kHz clip was 
only  a 
short portion of the 2-minute  MP3, and I'll review it again for more  
clues, and send you the whole  clip if you like. 

Last October I had China dominant and a presumed NK  on this frequency  
during a rare 729 kHz strong signal, and even  though I've seen many 
reports of  
Japan on 729, it's never been heard  here. In any case, it's kind of a 
moral  
victory for me to get either  station here in Puyallup on Ultralights, with 
the  CHMJ splatter  blanketing the frequency 99% of the time here :-)  I'll 
 
be  happy either way!

I heard Japan on 729 several times last  season.  Sometimes  China  was 
there too, either mixing  with Japan or by  itself.   They were somewhat 
regular  catches for me, despite the  splash from CHMJ.

It's hard to tell  for sure, but your short clip  sounds like it could be 
Japanese  rather than Korean.  She's almost a  bit too melodic to be from  
North Korea.

What time did you hear it?  It could have been a TP if it was around  
sunrise.  AFN-Tokyo is rare but has been heard with rock music.   
Russia and China are sometimes heard on 810, and the music on the  
Russians tends to be all over the map.

Thanks everyone for the listening to the cubb DXers audio nuggets. I

Derek, stunning reception! You are very lucky. First 531 is JJ, not
Tagalog. We usually hear the NHK1 station there. 657 is fabulous.  
Usually
heard with a buzzy transmitter or jamming, but pretty clear today.  
792 was
difficult for me, but I see that Bruce figured it out. 837 is a  
mish-mash,
but I do believe that the predominant station is Radio Sonshine.  
Listen
long enough, and they'll give IDs. Also likely CC cochannel. As for  
1161,
again lovely signal, but I'm not 100% convinced it's JJ. I have  
trouble
distinguishing KK from JJ. The JJ stations on 1161 are all low  
power 0.1 kW
NHK1 stations. I've heard these,but they are a tough catch. MBC in  
Korea
is listed as 10 kW. ?More likely? I'll wait for my more learned  
colleagues

to comment. Well done! Sure wish I had your setup here in Victoria!

Hi Mauno,
 
Thanks for listening to the MP3.
 
I switched to the largest antenna here (the 9' PVC box loop) for TP-DXing  
this morning, and received a Japanese station on 729 kHz at a fairly good  
level. Don't know for sure if this is the same station as yesterday, but it's 
 the first time that 729-JOCK (// 594) has been heard here. Bruce may have  
been right.

[IRCA] KNAK-FM 520 UT

2010-09-13 Thread Glenn Hauser
** U S A. KNAK reception using FM mode on 520 Khz

Glenn, I have been receiving a lot of QRM/hash centered on 520 KHz, at night. I 
could tell it was voice but, very garbled. Been there for at least a week that 
I know of. Heard it trying for the Bermuda NDB on 526, anticipating another BCB 
DX season.

Tonight, I switched to FM mode, and I am getting good, but overdeviating, FM 
reception of a station that is fading in and out from very good readability to 
being just "hash".

It is a station carrying "IRN/USA Radio Network". No station ID discernible at 
the bottom of the 0600Z hour; was in a fade or didn't ID.

Been hearing this for several days...but tonight is the first time I had the 
idea to switch to FM --- duh! On fade downs, I can hear the INE NDB through the 
programming.
 
My info: I have been a ham since 1966, and long time SWL, BCB and below 
listener. Using an ICOM IC-756PROIII and a couple of different HF horizontal 
Vee antennas for reception. Also have a 30 vertical, but reception is nil 
compared to the wire antennas, needless to say.

I'm in Logandale, NV, a very rural area, with a very low noise floor and a long 
way from any powerhouse AMers, and the nearby FMers are all music type 
stations, none up with this "IRN/USA" stuff.

I tried going through my  Palomar Engineers 4 meg up converter; no change. Any 
ideas? Is this a problem with my station, or anybody else hearing this 
anomalous "FM broadcast" on 520 kHz? Not receiving any AM or FM stations 
currently carrying the program on "normal" channels.

[P.S.]: Breaking News! Just got an ID. It's KNAK, in Delta, Utah. ID was at 
0700Z. Guess I need to call their engineers? Nominally on 540 AM, but really 
putting in a good signal here on 520 FM. I can't tell you why or how, but, it 
is --- TKS 73, (Don DeCaria, NF7R, Logandale, NV, 89021, 0702 UT Sept 13, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

Don, Very interesting. So are they also heard on 540 at all? If not, I guess 
the transmitter is very much out of whack funxioning in FM mode 20 kHz off 
(Glenn to Don, via DXLD)

Glenn, Tks for the response. They were not heard on 540 here, just usual 
mishmash of stations on that channel at night, but sharp listening did not 
detect them at all, only on 520 FM. Nil heard this AM in daylight, of course, 
and only a southern Utah outlet on 540, as usual. 73, (Don DeCaria, 1530 UT, 
ibid.)

Don, There is no other 540 in Utah; Delta is in west central Utah, about 200 
miles from you NE of Las Vegas toward Mesquite close to the NV/UT/AZ border. 
KNAK is 1000 watts day, supposedly only 13 watts at night, both non-direxional. 
I expect that is also what you are getting in the daytime, but back on 540 
(Glenn Hauser, ibid.)

KNAK 540: HS FB 2005. Sometimes stays on day power at night due to chronic xmtr 
malfunctions 10/08 (Tim Hall, CA, ABDX via DXLD)

is strong at 4 am at Burnt River ON ... for anyone who needs it. On the
Tecsun 380, first time for that as last few times have been on the
Sangean portable and Rat Shack loop. 

730 in Frank Merrill Wl has also been strong, which I doubt it should be
here.

690 had tantalizing mix of Spanish stations when I went to sleep at
0100. One likely Mexico City but not sure, the other uncertain. What I
suspect was El Paso KTSM was also in the mix with a definite "NewsRadio"
slogan.

940 is dominated by Mex City off-frequency. Strong.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-13

2010-09-13 Thread D1028Gary
Hello All,
 
It was another good Asiatic TP morning here, with the first all-time new TP 
 logged here from the new DX season. To investigate mysteries on 729, 1053  
and other frequencies, I switched over to the 9' sided PVC tuned passive  
loop this morning. WWF wrestling experience is helpful in handling  this 
monster box loop, but it immediately made a difference in sorting out  the TP 
mysteries. A TP was back on 729 kHz this morning in 730-CHMJ  splatter, this 
time with Japanese at a good level. It was immediately  identified from the 
594 kHz parallel as JOCK in Nagoya, an all-time new TP here  (thanks, Bruce). 
This may have been yesterday's 729 mystery station,  but will keep 
reviewing yesterday's MP3 for confirmation. 1053  kHz was checked repeatedly 
with 
the 9' loop this morning, but the Jammer was  overpowering at S9+, drowning 
out the competition. Other frequencies like 603,  738 and 891 kHz had 
interesting TP mixes, but there wasn't enough time to  sort them all out. For 
those 
curious about the appearance of a 9' sided PVC box  loop (and the relatively 
puny DXer), a photo is posted at _http://www.mediafire.com/i/?jraw1yly2ff_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/i/?jraw1yly2ff)  
 
The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5" loopstick) and 
 9' PVC tuned passive loop in the back yard:
 
558  JOCR  Kobe, Japan  Good Japanese music and  conversation, 1307
585  JOPG  Kushiro, Japan  Fair-good Japanese NHK1 program,  1309
594  JOAK  Tokyo, Japan  Very strong with Japanese  conversation, 1308
603  (TP-Mix) Korean speech (presumed HLSA) and music (presumed  China)
   fighting it  out at a fair-good level around 1319; no clear 
winner
639  CNR1  Beijing, China  Fair signals with Chinese speech  and music, 1314
648  VOR  Razdolnoye, Russia  Fair with Chinese external  program, 1315
657  Pyongyang, N. Korea  Strong tirade complete with  ragged carrier, 1309
666  JOBK  Osaka, Japan  Another booming Japanese signal  from 1305-1315
675  VOV  Hanoi, Vietnam  Weak Vietnamese audio in and  out at 1319
729  JOCK  Nagoya, Japan  All-time new TP here, with good  signals through
  CHMJ splatter at  1316  
_http://www.mediafire.com/?uyyt3mcmm9djse6_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?uyyt3mcmm9djse6)  
738  (TP-Mix)  Chinese pop music (BEL2-Taiwan) and Korean speech  (HLKG)
  mixing at good  level; Taiwan had the edge as usual
747  JOIB  Sapporo, Japan  Booming Japanese signal, almost  splattering KXL
756  CNR1  (presumed) Chinese-type music playing hide and seek  around 1327
774  JOUB  Akita, Japan  Great signal with NHK2 program,  moderate KTTH
828  JOBB  Osaka, Japan  Fair-good through most of sunrise  enhancement
891  (TP-mix)  Japanese speech (JOHK) dominant, with unknown  music way
  underneath
927  China (presumed)  Carrier flirting with audio for most of  morning
936  China (presumed)  Audio flirting with carrier for most of  morning
972  HLCA  Dangjin, S. Korea  Good strength with Korean  conversation, 1332
1053  Korean Jammer  "Full-quieting" on the 9' loop at 1313,  shutting out 
the
   co-channel  competition 
_http://www.mediafire.com/?xtht62w3svhcthd_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?xtht62w3svhcthd) 
1134  (TP-Mix)  Japanese conversation (JOQR) over Korean speech  (KBS) with
   weak Chinese  music (CNR1); a real convention at bizarre strength
1377 China (presumed)  Weak audio that dived when investigated,  1320
1566 HLAZ  Jeju, S. Korea  Strong as usual with Japanese  religious program
1575  VOA  Ban Rassom, Thailand  Fair-good with male/ female  Asiatic
   conversation  at 1334, but with typical deep fades
1593  China (presumed)  Yet another Chinese station with anemic  threshold
   audio,  following the general Chinese trend of the morning
 
73 and Good DX, 
Gary DeBock

[IRCA] Has anyone heard 600 WFRM Coudersport PA

2010-09-13 Thread Saul DX
Has anyone heard 600 WFRM Coundersport PA? It's one of my closest stations 
unheard here at Burnt River (and from Toronto for that matter. I have no doubt 
they're on their air. But all I hear on my south wire when I get a 
nostalgia-type format is WSOM Salem OH. I've triued daytime, SSS, night-time, 
SRS...nada.

I'd be curious to know who has logged this one, and from where.

BTW, I have also yet to hear 600 CBC in Bancroft ON. That is actually my 
closest station unheard. But I also know DXers who camped out in nearby Coe 
Hill also never heard it from there. Had to pretty much go to Bancroft to pick 
it up.

[IRCA] unID jazz on 1520 until 8:30 pm EDT

2010-09-13 Thread Glenn Hauser
Glenn - I had an unID on 1520 kHz last night (Sept 12) from 2330 UT to 0030 UT 
(Sept 13) under WWKB Buffalo (tho at times was stronger than WWKB), with non 
stop jazz music, and no ID. Wondering if you have any idea who it may be. 73s 
(Bill Bergadano, KA2EMZ, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Certainly not KOKC our dominant here, with news talk. Looking thru the NRC AM 
Log 2010 listings for 1520, of course nobody has a pure jazz format.

One not too far from you might be possible: WIZZ Greenfield MA, 10 kW daytimer, 
nostalgia. Altho the time should have been close to sunset if not past. Other 
DXers in the northeast could probably help you nail this. [Hmm, could IZZ 
denote JZZ? Only one letter off]. 73, (Glenn to Bill, via DXLD)

Tnx Glenn - weirdest thing, no toh ID, not one announcer at all, a DX mystery!

hey're on their air. But all I hear on my south wire when I get a 
ostalgia-type format is WSOM Salem OH. I've triued daytime, SSS, night-time, 
RS...nada.
I'd be curious to know who has logged this one, and from where.
BTW, I have also yet to hear 600 CBC in Bancroft ON. That is actually my 
closest 
tation unheard. But I also know DXers who camped out in nearby Coe Hill also 
ever heard it from there. Had to pretty much go to Bancroft to pick it up.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Has anyone heard 600 WFRM Coudersport PA

2010-09-13 Thread David Faulkner
Saul:

I've never logged `em either, not even in the old days from Michigan.  What's 
more, my daughter goes to college at Houghton, NY, and I can't pick `em up on 
the car radio in Houghton or Cuba at less than fifty miles, while the 
Wellsville NY on 790 does just fine both places.  I have wondered if they're 
off.  I can't imagine anything with 1 kw on 600 getting out that badly.  Don't 
recall ever hearing `em when I lived in Barre Center, NY where, even with CHIC 
still on 790 I could hear their near neighbor in Wellsville.

[IRCA] Finding signal strength by lat/long coordinates

2010-09-13 Thread Rick Dau
http://www.v-soft.com/ZipSignal/default.htm is a website that allows the user 
to find the strongest AM signals (in terms of field strength in dBuV/m) by 
typing a Zip Code into the search engine.  What I'm looking for is something 
that narrows it down even further -- finding the strongest AM signals at any 
given lat/long coordinates on planet Earth.  Does such a website exist?

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] KNAK-FM 520 UT

2010-09-13 Thread Wayne Heinen
This was interesting, I corresponded with Al Tobia out in California  
about KNAK on or about 520 about a year ago. He was getting it and  
after numerous attemps I never got it here in Colorado.  Can't find an  
email for Al right now so if someone sees this pass it on to him.  I  
may try some taping tonight to see what I get


73

Wayne Heinen


Quoting Glenn Hauser :


** U S A. KNAK reception using FM mode on 520 Khz

Glenn, I have been receiving a lot of QRM/hash centered on 520 KHz,   
at night. I could tell it was voice but, very garbled. Been there   
for at least a week that I know of. Heard it trying for the Bermuda   
NDB on 526, anticipating another BCB DX season.


Tonight, I switched to FM mode, and I am getting good, but   
overdeviating, FM reception of a station that is fading in and out   
from very good readability to being just "hash".


It is a station carrying "IRN/USA Radio Network". No station ID   
discernible at the bottom of the 0600Z hour; was in a fade or didn't  
 ID.


Been hearing this for several days...but tonight is the first time I  
 had the idea to switch to FM --- duh! On fade downs, I can hear the  
 INE NDB through the programming.


My info: I have been a ham since 1966, and long time SWL, BCB and   
below listener. Using an ICOM IC-756PROIII and a couple of different  
 HF horizontal Vee antennas for reception. Also have a 30 vertical,   
but reception is nil compared to the wire antennas, needless to say.


I'm in Logandale, NV, a very rural area, with a very low noise floor  
 and a long way from any powerhouse AMers, and the nearby FMers are   
all music type stations, none up with this "IRN/USA" stuff.


I tried going through my  Palomar Engineers 4 meg up converter; no   
change. Any ideas? Is this a problem with my station, or anybody   
else hearing this anomalous "FM broadcast" on 520 kHz? Not receiving  
 any AM or FM stations currently carrying the program on "normal"   
channels.


[P.S.]: Breaking News! Just got an ID. It's KNAK, in Delta, Utah. ID  
 was at 0700Z. Guess I need to call their engineers? Nominally on  
540  AM, but really putting in a good signal here on 520 FM. I can't  
tell  you why or how, but, it is --- TKS 73, (Don DeCaria, NF7R,   
Logandale, NV, 89021, 0702 UT Sept 13, DX LISTENING DIGEST)


Don, Very interesting. So are they also heard on 540 at all? If not,  
 I guess the transmitter is very much out of whack funxioning in FM   
mode 20 kHz off (Glenn to Don, via DXLD)


Glenn, Tks for the response. They were not heard on 540 here, just   
usual mishmash of stations on that channel at night, but sharp   
listening did not detect them at all, only on 520 FM. Nil heard this  
 AM in daylight, of course, and only a southern Utah outlet on 540,   
as usual. 73, (Don DeCaria, 1530 UT, ibid.)


Don, There is no other 540 in Utah; Delta is in west central Utah,   
about 200 miles from you NE of Las Vegas toward Mesquite close to   
the NV/UT/AZ border. KNAK is 1000 watts day, supposedly only 13   
watts at night, both non-direxional. I expect that is also what you   
are getting in the daytime, but back on 540 (Glenn Hauser, ibid.)


KNAK 540: HS FB 2005. Sometimes stays on day power at night due to   
chronic xmtr malfunctions 10/08 (Tim Hall, CA, ABDX via DXLD)

That is what KWEI was running last year, and their 60 watts was rarely
heard. Now, if at 360 watts, they pretty much block the freq off the
Eastern beverage. I am getting some other EE station QRMing them, but
the signal is stil S9+20 on the R8.
