[IRCA] Brier, WA TP's for 11/4/10
Mediocre morning until I checked the 1435Z recording. Wow, now that's dawn enhancement! China all over the place and Russia too. JA's were mostly big guns only. Mayak on 666 and CNR-1 on 1593 new ones for the log. I may be able to pull more out after further listening to the 1-minute sample. Most of these were totally absent or hets at 1400Z. No Alaska noted however, and the LWBC Russians were well down from the past 4 or 5 mornings with 189 being best again this morning and 234 absent. The following times sampled this morning: 1259Z, 1335Z, 1359Z, 1435Z for 1-3 minutes each using Perseus. The following were heard in audio: 153 R. Rossii Komsomolsk (Russia) Poor 1435Z 171 R.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-4
Interesting, checking yesterday's files here on the other side of the northern hemisphere the top conditions to Asia were around 1200 and then started to drop. In Lapland, 700 km north the top was around 1300: http://www.tapiokalmi.net/dx/lem/index.html 73, Mauno 5.11.2010 1:20, d1028g...@aol.com kirjoitti: Hello All, In a pretty remarkable comeback, what had been a thoroughly mediocre band prior to 1420 suddenly came to life with a strong sunrise enhancement from 1425-1450, boosting several Asian mainland stations up to their best audio of the Fall Season. The listening session started of at 1300 with the TP big guns at their usual anemic level, struggling to produce much audio through the noise and domestic splatter. Unusually, there was no mid-session propagation dive or boost, and the same collection of Asian regulars (594, 648, 657, 738, 747, 774, 972, 1134, 1566 and 1575) were still fading in and out with lackluster signals right up until 1420. It appeared that another mediocre late-season session was about to wrap up. Suddenly, 972-HLCA faded in strongly at 1430, along with a pesky Chinese co-channel. 738-BEL2 also rose up to be heard, with audio near its best of the season. 639-CNR1 and 675-Vietnam soon followed, with the latter having its strongest signal since September. Finally around 1350, the Chinese YL speech from 936-Anhui provided that station's best signal of the season. The Japanese NHK stations had a moderate signal boost during this period, but it was nothing like the weird propagation surge from China. Unfortunately it was necessary to wrap things up around 1455 when the Chinese were still strong, so there was no chance to check the other notable Mainland frequencies like 756, 927, 945, 981, 1035, 1377 and 1593. Maybe one of the SDR DXers also noticed the late-session China surge from 1430-1445, when reviewing recordings from that period this morning? Even though nothing new or rare was heard here, it was the best propagation from China for quite a while. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5 loopstick) and stock Tecsun PL-606 DSP model, inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the back yard).

Listening at 1216-1311 UTC, I found TP signals were improved here this morning. Carrier signals were noted on 558, 648, 693, 702, 738, 828, 891, 972, 1134 and 1242. The hets on 828 and 972 were very strong at sunrise (1257 UTC). JOIB 747 and JOUB 774 were heard with Basic English lessons, sometimes at fair strength.

Listened from 1305-1405 utc and conditions was better than it has been for a long time. Not much was heard at first but I got a good sunrise enhancement around 1347 utc.

[IRCA] KVI-570 format change
KVI will drop conservative talk in favor of oldies on Monday. The change was announced on sister station KOMO's website a few days ago: http://www.komonews.com/news/local/106489348.html It seems like an unusual move. Not many AM stations have music formats these days, and conservative talk is still a popular. On the other hand, KVI's ratings have been in a bit of a decline lately, starting a few years ago when Rush Limbaugh moved to KTTH-770. It will be interesting to see how the change works out. Oldies formats can be reallly good or reallly bad depending on how they're put together. From a DXing perspective, it'll probably mean more splatter for the TP's on 567 and 575.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-5
Hello All, Asian big gun propagation this morning was pretty solid, although there certainly were no late-session Chinese fireworks like yesterday. A far more moderate sunrise enhancement seemed to boost the Japanese signals instead (with 594-JOAK very strong right up to the 1500 TOH), while yesterday's vibrant Chinese signals were long gone. The band gradually improved after a dreary start at 1300, with most powerhouse TP's managing occasional decent audio by 1330. The Korean religious broadcaster 1566-HLAZ rose up with strong Japanese audio at 1337 for its best signal since September, while the Radio English lessons on 747 and 828 were vibrant at about the same time. There was no typical mid-session propagation swoon, although second-tier TP's seemed to be missing in action until 558-HLQH came in with decent Korean music at 1427, fading in to its strongest level of the season. The 558 kHz action continued well into sunrise enhancement, with JOQR apparently joining HLQH for a rare TP mix on the frequency at 1443. The Japanese big guns got a modest boost during this period, but in a reversal of yesterday's late-session results, all the Chinese were way down in the noise by 1445. All Asians except for an unusually strong 594-JOAK were gone by 1500, but that weird station managed its best audio of the entire morning (and the strongest Asian signal of the DXing session) right at 1459, during the NHK1 weather report. In summary, the Asian propagation really wasn't bad this morning, but after yesterday's late-session excitement, it probably fell far short of what we would have preferred. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5 loopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the back yard).

[IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, November 5, 2010
All times and dates strictly UT. MW log editors are welcome to excerpt items, reformat and change to favorite timezone if necessary. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only; some caradio as specified; above 2 MHz on FRG-7 with 110-foot east-west longwire. ** OKLAHOMA. 1640, KFXY Enid, I avoid not only because it blox three frequencies in the daytime, at least one at night, but because it`s nothing but gospel music and stupid ballgames; however, as I tuned across Nov 5 at 1253 UT, there was local news, including a week-old story about the latest sting of convenience store clerx arrested for selling beer to minors, a recurring problem here; soon outroed as ``CTB News in Ninety``, i.e. Chisholm Trail Broadcasting (also KCRC 1390), stix in a sesquiminute of edited local news (or olds) headlines here and there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 720, since I was still monitoring at 1415 UT Nov 5, a check to see if I can hear KDWN Las Vegas popping on at the proper November time for day-pattern switch: no, not yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1290, Nov 5 at 1359 UT I hear an ad for Four Corners Siding, and a 307-AC phone number more than once, but fades for ID; ~4 Hz SAH with something, probably our daytime dominator KWFS Wichita Falls. So it has to be in AZ, NM, CO or UT, right? The only 1290 in those states is in faraway Tucson. And no, 307 is Wyoming! So KOWB Laramie, as in Cowboy altho NRC shows its current format as news/talk/sports. And Google confirms there is a Four Corners Siding in Laramie, as well as Cheyenne (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1300, Nov 5 at 1400 UT, ad for McCook, then Open Line with Rich Barnett; so KBRL in Nebraska now definitely logged (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1330, Nov 5 at 1401 UT, AP Radio News, in null of KNSS Wichita, including Conan O`Brien starts Monday night on TBS. Optional cutaway at 1402:30 is taken by this station, enough news, already! Advanced timecheck for 3 after 9, ad for Veteran`s Day performances Sat Nov 13 7 pm, Sunday Nov 14 10:50 am at First Baptist Church, Monahans; 1404, it`s 9:04 at KCKM, then weatherfemale from Channel 9 [KWES Midland, really RF9, no longer COL Monahans]. Signal is now peaking, and it`s the one which has to be nulled in order to hear KNSS. KCKM Monahans TX, 5 kW, with CP for 12 kW to bother KNSS even more. Calls derive from KCKN 1020 Roswell NM, of which KCKM is a subsidiary relaying it part time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1550, Nov 5 at 1251 UT as I was tuning across, heard ``New Mexico Talk Radio`` slogan and call sounded like KMBA, but it`s really KIVA as per NRC AM Log. Was atop lots of other signals on the FRG-7, with the usual SW antenna, E-W longwire. I shall not believe this was on night power of 27 watts instead of day power of 1. NRC does not show KIVA as having a PSRA, altho November sunrise in Albuquerque is not until 1345 UT, as we well know when KKOB 770 switches to day pattern audiblizing itself eastward. The calls KIVA have been all over the place in past years, seldom pertaining to a real Indian station. FCC callsign history shows 1550 has been KIVA since 05/18/2009, before that KQNM, and down the list KQEO. When I was living in Albuquerque, there was no local on 1550, so apparently the earlier calls applied to 920. Yes, history for present KSVA 920 shows before 01/23/1995 it was KQEO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ___ 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] TAs in Alberta
Currently hearing audio from Radio Farda on 1575, and VOA on 1539, both for the first time this season. Snippets of audio on 1215, 1413 and 1458 also. Might be a night for you guys on the coast to have a listen. 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
Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-4
Hello Mauno, Thanks for sharing the Asian propagation results yesterday morning from your location, and from Lapland. Thanks also for sharing the interesting link. Our 1430-1500 sunrise enhancement propagation from China yesterday was very unusual for this Fall Season, which generally has not lived up to DXing expectations here (on the North American west coast). With Nick, Tom and I all noticing the same great signal boost from China, it was quite an exciting morning, especially in comparison to the mediocre TP signals prevalent in late October. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) In a message dated 11/5/2010 3:17:36 A.M.

The listening session started of at 1300 with the TP big guns at their usual anemic level, struggling to produce much audio through the noise and domestic splatter. Unusually, there was no mid-session propagation dive or boost, and the same collection of Asian regulars (594, 648, 657, 738, 747, 774, 972, 1134, 1566 and 1575) were still fading in and out with lackluster signals right up until 1420. It appeared that another m ediocre late-season session was about to wrap up. Suddenly, 972-HLCA faded in strongly at 1430, along with a pesky Chinese co-channel. 738-BEL2 also rose up to be heard, with audio near its best of the season. 639-CNR1 and 675-Vietnam soon followed, with the latter having its strongest signal since September. Finally around 1350, the Chinese YL speech from 936-Anhui provided that station's best signal of the season. The Japanese NHK stations had a moderate signal boost during this period, but it was nothing like the weird propagation surge from China. Unfortunately it was necessary to wrap things up around 1455 when the Chinese were still strong, so there was no chance to check the other notable Mainland frequencies like 756, 927, 945, 981, 1035, 1377 and 1593. Maybe one of the SDR DXers also noticed the late-session China surge from 1430-1445, when reviewing recordings from that period this morning? Even though nothing new or rare was heard here, it was the best propagation from China for quite a while. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5 loopstick) and stock Tecsun PL-606 DSP model, inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the back yard).

Re: [IRCA] KVI-570 format change
From a DXing perspective, it'll probably mean more splatter for the TP's on 567 and 575. I am sure it will and TA's to the NE on 567 576 will suffer too, if we get them. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR 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] Alberta TPs for 5 Nov 2010
As Richard and Bill observed, a much better morning today. Japan was doing especially well here, with audio noted on 567,594,666,693,747,774,828,873,1071 and 1287. Also reaching audio was China (945, 981,1206), Russia (648), and South Korea (972, 1566). A few unIDs also (1098,1143,1161,1476), mostly just with traces of audio. On 1476 I'm pretty sure it was Chinese, and with a bit of a multi-transmitter echo. Certainly one of the more interesting mornings of late. 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
