[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 11/7/10

2010-11-07 Thread Richard Allen
TP signals weren't as good here this morning as yesterday.  Local sunrise was 
at 1259 UTC. 

693  JOAB Tokyo J, 1254, weak JJ audio //JOIB 747.  Audio faded out 1313.
702  unID (possibly Chongjin KRE), 1155, carrier (het).  Raspy carrier at 1232 
with QRM from KHSE 700.  Signal faded out at 1259.
747  JOIB Sapporo J, 1114, JJ audio.  Audible off and on until fading out at 
1310.
774  JOUB Akita J, 1102, JJ audio.  Signal had a "sunrise lift", not fading out 
until 1310.  The carrier was audible to 1315.
828  unID (probably JOBB), 1239, het below XEIK 830.
891  unID, 1241, het.
972  unID (probably HLCA), 1225, weak het.

 The raspy carrier signal on 702 kHz was possibly from North Korea.  It faded 
away at sunrise. 

After the Asian signals faded out, I listened to XETCH 700 from 1320 until it 
faded away under KHSE at 1345.

Receiver was a Tecsun PL-310 ultralight attached to a 7.5-inch loopstick.

[IRCA] WGR-550 Buffalo loud in East TN

2010-11-07 Thread Marc DeLorenzo
Very interesting!  Rarely heard WGR-550 has been loud here also lately.  I 
thought it was only because WDDZ-RI is silent but now I wonder, like Steve, if 
they are running the day rig at night.

[IRCA] TP for 7 Nov from Victoria, BC.

2010-11-07 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Another interesting morningI don't think signals lasted as long today; 
there was a bit of a grinding to a halt at around 1520UT, and I didn't stick 
around to see if there was anything more.  I'd heard enough by then!

I'm not sure signals were quite as strong this morning, at least on the upper 
half of the band (even there, a nice lift after 1500UT), yet when I look at the 
results, they must have been similar to yesterday.  Mostly, the quantity of DX 
was a function of the amount of time spent listening, and, it being Sunday, I 
was able to listen from 1345 until things fell apart.

Is anyone else hearing the Chinese on 1476?   There seem to be at least two 
there with about a half second offset, and at some points this morning they 
were fairly good; but for awhile before 1500UT, it seemed there was only one 
with music.   Faded as the hour approached of course, but I heard offset pips 
faintly, then CC sounding talk resumed, with obviously two signals offset again.

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

594 JOAK
747 JOIB very occasionally
774 JOUB
828 JOBB
972 HLCA later on
1566 HLAZ during JJ broadcast earlier, but quickly came back by 1415UT during 
the CC program
1575 VoA at 1505UT, a strong fade up just after 1500

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

279 R. Rossii
567 JOIK //594 and better than 594 earlier on
945 CNR-1 man in CC //6030 at 1516UT, best of the morning, and may even have 
briefly been in the top tier
1206 Yanbian, very murky but strong at 1406UT
1287 JOHR  (at 1516 this was //954 with what sounded like "Amazing Grace" 
instrumental??)



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

189 R. Rossii
531 //594 so JOQG
558 HLQH dominant //603, but talk underneath likely JOCR, at 1417UT
576 RR talk by woman at 1457, Mayak
603 HLSA // 558 
639 CNR-1 //6030
648 VoR at 1442 in 650 splatter
819 N. Korea at 1454 w/choral mx //2850
837 CC talk 1445
954 JOKR w/JJ talk
1377 CNR-1 //6030 at 1443UT, CC talk
1476 likely China w/instrumental mx at 1440UT, and a SAH; offset pips at 1500 
followed  by out of sync CC sounding talk
1503 JOUK //594 at 1511UT 

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) :

585 JOPG //594 at 1431UT
621 China??
675 VoV? at 1446, big carrier
702 NHK2 //774 along with hum (from N. Korea?) which was quite strong by 1448UT
864 the big carrier delivered a little JJ sounding audio at 1411UT
918 CC inflected talk at 1455; nothing before this
981 CNR-1 likely, as seemed //6030 at 1411UT
1017 CRI //5965 at 1422UT
1134 no idea; too much 1130 splash
1242 likely JOLF?
1323 just traces, mostly a good carrier
1332 started delivering a little mx at 1458UT; JOSF?
1386 not //NHK2 at 1430; talk didn't sound CC, but pretty weak..
1422 JORF?



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

711, 855, 1251, 1278, 1314, 1359, 1557

best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, November 7, 2010

2010-11-07 Thread Glenn Hauser
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.
  
** JAPAN [and non]. TP MW carrier search Nov 7, on DX-398 with BFO in US mode, 
upwards from 1247 UT: 557, 594, 693, 702, 747, 774, 828, 891, 1008, 1242, 1332. 
Back to 747 at 1253 and could make out a bit of audio, no doubt JOIB, NHK 
Sapporo 2. Several of these made it the morning before to a DXpedition in 
northern Alabama (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 730, Nov 7 at 1303, R. Viva Vida ID by super-hype voice actor, poor, 
i.e. XEHB, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua. 

770, Nov 7 at 1241, infomercial in Spanish for a médico, phone 55- something, 
promoting medicina natural, shilling a book. Name sounds like Dr. Abel Cruz. 
1246 breaks for ID as R. Fórmula, 103.3 and 970, (970 is XERFR, net HQ in the 
DF), Grupo Fórmula, phone for Dr., 55-25-28-70; 1314 still Grupo Fórmula, with 
its phone 30-08-33-27 (I think). The R. Fórmula affiliate on 770 is XEACH, 
Monterrey NL, 25 kW day power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 930, WKY OKC, a previous Sunday morning before 7:30 am CDT had 
something in English instead of Spanish, but only Spanish music this Sunday 
from 1305 UT and some other chex following semihour, i.e. same time in CST 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1580, KOKB Blackwell off the air, not just open carrier, 
Nov 7 at 1501. Dominating signal at the moment instead from E/W playing theme 
from ``Have Gun, Will Travel`` to open gun show. KHGG Fort Smith? KOKB still 
off at 1745 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3160, WPJK, Orangeburg SC: what will it do on the first day of 
standard time, having failed during the first week of November to sign on at 
the correct legal sunrise time of 1200 UT? Just as I suspected, they keep 
signing on at 7:30 am local, regardless of DST or sunrise changes. Nov 7 at 
1203 UT, no signal, but open carrier at 1228, S9+20. 1231 usual canned sign-on 
message as 1580 kHz, 1000 watts, by authority of the FCC (not including 3160), 
address, station manager gives his name, but I have never been able to copy it, 
and into gospel music. No toots, so maybe on Sunday the program is not called 
Gospel Train. 

If it keep signing on a semihour later than it needs to the rest of November, 
that will compensate for the illegal semihour early during the first week, but 
diminish its DXability. Nevertheless, I could still detect a carrier at 1257. 
This situation will only improve as we have two months to go until the latest 
sunrises, tho only one month until the earliest sunsets. Now will it really be 
signing off at the correct November and December time of 2215 UT? Please check 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 770, Nov 7 at 1354 UT, ``The Talk Monster, KKOB`` Albuquerque NM, 
then report on Auto-Tune, the computer process messing up vocal music, outro as 
Perspective from ABC News, so still scheduled at 1305 UT Sundays, but KKOB 
doesn`t go to day pattern until 1345, after which it dominated the frequency 
for a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1350, Nov 7 at 1459 UT, big band music from N/S, fade for ID, but 
1500 bong and CBS news. Direxion, nostalgia format and news network all 
converge upon KRNT Des Moines IA per NRC AM Log 2010, so presumed. Skywave 
still incoming in upper end of band, KOZN Omaha also in a few minutes earlier 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1620, ``The Zone, ESPN radio for Omaha``, still audible at 1452 UT 
Nov 7; KOZN; no WTAW as northern paths with lower sun favored (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

[IRCA] Brier, WA TP's for 11/7/10

2010-11-07 Thread k7wv

A pretty good morning here. TOH recorder made the switchover to Pacific 
Standard Time by making all the recordings 1 hour later than desired so only 
the first three were useful. Lots of hets just below audio threshold noted, 
many on unusual freq's. Report is only for those stn's heard in audio. Korea 
was unusually loud with some 2nd tier JA's and plenty of Chinese stations. 
Several frequencies UNID (792, 819, 864, 1476) as it could have been CC or KK. 
Hopefuly more careful listening will provide clues. I won't be able to compare 
this morning's results to yesterday until late tonight as I am attending an 
event all day and haven't listened to those samples yet. 

The following times sampled this morning: 1359Z, 1445Z, 1459Z, 1535Z, 1559Z for 
1-2 
minutes each using Perseus (Change to standard time delayed the preset times 
one hour).

153  R. Rossii Komsomolsk (Russia) Fair at 1445Z
171  R. Rossii Yakutsk (Russia) Poor, 1500Z

189  R. Rossii Belogorsk (Russia) Good, 1445Z
279  R. Rossii Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (Russia) Good 1445Z

603  HLSA Namyang (S Korea) Good with KK pop music at 1445Z
648  VOR Razdolnoye (Russia) Good with interval signal at 1500Z
657  Pyongyang BS (N Korea) Fair with slow music at 1445Z

1476 I think is what I was hearing also Tom.   Do you just hear the 4

another set of pips offset by a fraction of a second?

Regarding 1476 KHz at 1500Z;

Nick,
I just listened again and it seems to be just four pips of equal tone. There 
was a man just prior to the pips and a YL after and it sounded Chinese (not the 
standard "guangbo dientai" phrase though.)

Thanks--Tom R

Nick:
 
At Grayland recently I definitely heard 2 sets of pips almost a second apart. 
One surely had 4 pips and I think the other also had 4. Both then had the same 
Beijing time check ("er shi er"). I couldn't dig out the ID as conditions were 
lousy.

They were switching, even then - it's just that you happened to be 
living in the direction where their nighttime signal was as strong as 
(maybe even stronger than) their day signal.


WGR is non-directional by day; its night pattern is unchanged since the 
1950s, when they upgraded from 1 kW to 5 kW at night. It's a figure-8 
aimed north-northwest (at Toronto) and south-southeast. It has a very 
deep null to protect WKRC in Cincinnati and another to protect WDEV in 
Vermont and CFNB in New Brunswick. (Everything else on 550, like Rhode 
Island, came later.)

The TP signals were a no show this morning at Monte Sano, with only a 
few terribly weak carriers noted. A stark contrast from the amazing TP

Of course, other things to do this evening, but stopping by the receiver from 
time to time has yielded audio traces on 1269, 1422 (not at the same time; I've 
had them parallel in the past), 855 w/murky talk and a bit of a hum.  999 w/ 
woman in Slavic inflected language at 1345...sure would like a parallel or 
webstream for assumed Moldova; 1377 France Info w/ brass band sounding mx 
followed by man then woman talking, all leading the webstream by around 10 
seconds.

Best TA evening for me this seasonbut I certainly wouldn't mind it even

 I didn't have a lot of time this evening either, but did note audio on 
1575,1377,1269,1215, 1089 (mix of UK and Russia), 999, 963, 684, and

have had any consistency.  One of the better TA evenings this season,

04:42 now, and I'm hearing 999 with fair audio, but suffering from 1000
splatter, so can't make out the language.  I didn't think that TWR Moldova
transmitted this early.  My (old) EMWG doesn't have them on until 04:30
UTC.  1269 there at times with snippets.  Presumably Spain or the Canary
Islands.  1215 of course.   No luck on 855, but 864 is there with France
Bleu (864.005).  855 does have 3 carriers, and yes, some murky audio as a
result.  I'm measuring 854.999, 855.002 and 855.012.  Other snippets, or
strong carriers include 531, 621, 675, 747, 873, 963, and 1053 (prob.
Romania, as it's a bit on the high side).  I suspect it might have been a
decent night at my DX cottage on Haida GwaiiWalt

[IRCA] ULR-TA's in Puyallup, WA Tonight

2010-11-07 Thread D1028Gary
Hi Nigel, Nick and Walt,
 
Having learned the hard way last year that dead-sounding TA's have a  
tendency to resurrect themselves, I stuck around to see if some Europeans would 
 
come in after 1575-Radio Farda's healthy fade-in.
 
Sure enough, 1377 (presumed France) produced some poor audio around 0412 in 
 the 1380 splatter, and 675-Radio Maria produced a few seconds of Catholic 
choral  worship around 0433 here. 756 (presumed DLF) was close to audio at 
0445 but  failed to seal the deal, similar to a presumed 693-BBC, which was a 
strong  carrier at 0441. All these were received here last season at much 
better  signal levels, but wispy TA's may be the best we can hope for  here 
on the West Coast his season.

have had any consistency.  One of the better TA evenings this  season, 
but some way below the opening of 2 nights ago at this  QTH.

hum.  999 w/ woman in Slavic inflected language at  1345...sure would like a 
parallel or webstream for assumed Moldova; 1377  France Info w/ brass band 
sounding mx followed by man then woman talking, all  leading the webstream by 
around 10 seconds.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-7

2010-11-07 Thread D1028Gary
Hello All,
 
 Favorable Asian propagation continued for a second  day here, although 
a somewhat different set of TP stations provided the  excitement. 738-BEL2 
(Taiwan Fisheries) had its best signal of the Fall Season,  as did 1575-VOA 
Thailand. A generous sunrise enhancement boosted several  second-tier Asians 
up to vibrant levels, and most of the "big  gun" TP's were still going 
strong well past 1500. Koreans seemed to do  especially well today, as opposed 
to the Japanese (favored  yesterday) and Chinese (favored the day  before).  
 Unlike yesterday, the band seemed relatively  sedate around 1300, but 
livened up fairly quickly. 738 kHz had an unusually  clean-sounding Asian 
carrier fade in around 1412 ( as opposed to  BEL2's raspy, NK-like signal), 
which turned out to be a rare solo  appearance from a presumed HLKG. Shortly 
thereafter BEL2 replaced the Korean  with a huge Chinese pop music signal at  
1422-- easily Taiwan's strongest audio for over a year.  The unusually 
strong 738-Taiwan signal stuck around for about 10  minutes, providing a chance 
to record an ominous pulsating noise in  the transmitted signal (more 
later). As noted previously by both Nick and  Tom, 1575-VOA had a strong signal 
around the 1500 TOH, but here the  long-range TP managed its best audio of the 
season (although only the  "barefoot" 7.5" loopstick Ultralight was used 
for the reception). The  Thailand mega-station blasted in on the modified ULR 
alone shortly before  1500, complete with a "Voice of America" ID at the 
TOH. Even though it's far  from rare DX, it was one of the more exciting 
moments in a pretty  enjoyable session.
 
 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). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as an  SSB spotting 
receiver:

 (received barefoot,  7.5" loopstick SWP)

(http://www.mediafire.com/?66tacy748v1to9a)  
1575  VOA  Ban Rassom, Thailand  Best audio of season  with 
 bizarre, strong fade in on  barefoot 7.5" loopstick SWP (with 
 "Voice of America" ID  at 1500 TOH)  
_http://www.mediafire.com/?yzjamzvvsbd9szk_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?yzjamzvvsbd9szk) 
 
 For those Ultralight radio DXers (and any others)  who need to hear 
their first Taiwan station, 738-BEL2's sick-sounding  transmitter gets out 
quite well. The carrier sounds like something out of North  Korea, and during 
strong Chinese speech reception there is a menacing buzzing  noise that is 
clearly audible, such as in this strong recording at 1433 this  morning:

73 and Good DX,

Re: [IRCA] TA this evening in Victoria, BC

Hi Nick,
Grigoriopol 999 kHz carries R. Pridnestrovya 0300-0500 in Russian, could 
have been them: http://radiopmr.org/about/27/Cetka-veshhaniya

not so sure about 999...Moldova isn't listed on yet, and what I hear seems to 
have a couple of guys talking back to back, similar to the COPE webstream, but 
nothing to hang my hat onto.

Audio traces buried by splash on 963 and 675...

best wishes,

Nick
