[IRCA] 693 in DC

[Bill Whitacre]

Around 1027utc this morning I got first audio of the season on an OTP [over the 
pole] TP.  639kHz with woman in what sounds like an English lesson:



Other carriers on 945, 873, 774 and 747 but 693 was definitely the best this 
morning.

Have to listen to the Perseus wav's some more tonight as there might be audio 
on 945 too.

[IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Tuesday

[Steve Ratzlaff]

209 Mongolia had a nice fadeup very late again, first noted 1413 utc, fading 
in and out, but with another peak just before 1500 where it appeared to play 
the national anthem for several minutes--at least some pleasant Asian 
instrumental music stopping at 1500 and not heard again. 209 Alaskan beacon 
CYT also strong today with both ident and voice heard, stronger than 
Mongolia except just before 1500.
Last night, TA LWBC fair for 171 Morocco; 162 France poor, 183 Germany poor, 
198 UK very poor, all in and out for several hours.

Re: [IRCA] 675 Radio Maria Netherlands

[bill kral]

,Michael, I don't think R.Maria was playing Neil Young or The Doors as their 
format is of the Religious variety so your finding of the splatter from C-ILS 
was correct,but I am glad that the Dutch station is reaching the west coast and 
wish I had the capability to get them or any Dutch station myself but I don't 
have the time or the equipment to capture them for the few minutes that they 
drop in.Bill in BC

Well done, Bill !! It seems that I am listening the wrong mornings. Yesterday 
11/8 I had a brief day at my WI DX home before I leave town today and decided 
to also try a Phased BOG System towards the NNW...ended up with about 400 ft // 
250 ft at about 329 deg. Things that way seemed promising when I went to bed at 
0615 but when I woke up and went back out to the DX truck at 1200 all I had 
were weak hets. 594,693,747,774, 972 very weak, 1017 and a couple others and cx 
in general had dropped off a bit. 

Will try more later this month from WI and IL once I return home.. 73 KAZ

[IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, November 8-9, 2010

[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.

** ALASKA. I frequently check 2750 in routine bandscans, for HAARP to show up 
again, but no sign of it until: Nov 9 at 0647, with a wide variety of carrier 
and tone tests past 0719. Of course, until the DST/ST shift I was seldom 
monitoring that late, as unfortunately my daily routine has to be tied more to 
the local clock than to UT, even tho I denounce the very concept of shifting 
time. 

At 0647, carrier cutting on and off, gradually speeding up the pulse rate, 
peaks S9+25. 0643 it reaches about 10x per second and still rising. 0644 cuts 
briefly to constant carrier, then resumes pulsing at increasing rate. 
Meanwhile, I amuse myself by playing ``O What a Beautiful Morning`` by 
adjusting the BFO tuning on this carrier.

0646, adds tone modulation to the carrier pulsing, and that rises too as the 
pulse rate continues rising to ``airplaning``. 0653 still increasing rate and 
pitch but very slowly. 0654:36* cuts off the air, but soon back on at 0655 now 
with sweep tones upward repeated every 6 seconds = 10x per minute, past 0700+, 
and off at 0704:34*. 

*0705 back on with carrier, then hi-pitched tone test stepping up, rather than 
sweeping up. 0707 slow subaudible heterodyne, then increases (as if two 
separate transmitters deliberately slightly offset). 0708 constant tone, 
stepping up. 0709 lo-pitched tone, stepping up. 0710 slow SAH increasing to 
fast. (I take a few minutes to tune around for other things). 

0719:34* after OC without tones, and soon back on with the SAHs as I quit. When 
I wake up at 1250, nothing on 2750, around the time I last heard this a few 
weeks ago: ``Oct 4 at 1214, strong signal and still but weaker at 1242.`` 

Identity of all this as HAARP, Gakona, Alaska is based on previous reports and 
this is one of their known frequencies, tho certainly there was nothing like an 
ID heard, nor probably sent tho it would have been easy to do so. There is a 
lot of information at http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/ but searching on 2750 does 
not get any hits. WTFK? I have yet to find any specific frequency info. It does 
say that some of the antennas cover 2.8 to 8.3 MHz, avoiding the 40 and 80m 
hambands. The 2750 signals I was hearing were not especially wideband, as some 
had reported, just normal bandwidth (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 2850, KCBS, Nov 9 at 1251, S9+10 in Korean talk after choral 
music, but insufficient vs noise level. This had not been audible past few 
mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, KOKB Blackwell, which was off the air Nov 7, is back on Nov 
8 at 1503 UT check with sports talk, about one semisecond behind // 1020, KOKP 
Perry, as if a satellite feed of more than one hop (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3160, I have not been trying to hear the WPJK harmonic in the 
evenings, since it is so reliable in the mornings, and being almost a kilomile 
westward from this daytimer, we are in a much better position to hear it in the 
mornings. However, given its incorrect sign-on timings, I was wondering if they 
manage to sign off at the correct legal sundown time for November at Orangeburg 
SC, according to their entry on the FCC website, of 2215 UT. 

So Nov 8 at 2213 I start monitoring 3160, and do succeed in detecting a carrier 
--- will it shortly go off? Yes! At 2215:47*, so that is probably it. My 
request for others closer to monitor that has not been answered.

Next check at 1252 UT Nov 9, music is just barely audible on 3160 before 
fadeout.

BTW, Eugene Robinson, author, Washington Post columnist and political 
commentator on MSNBC, was born and grew up in Orangeburg, as introduced on 
C-SPAN`s Book TV Nov 6 at 2300. 
http://www.booktv.org/Program/11954/2010+Texas+Book+Festival+Eugene+Robinson+quotDisintegration+The+Splintering+of+Black+Americaquot.aspx
But I am sure he bears no responsibility for this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific MW carrier search Nov 9 just after local sunrise 
from 1304 UT, upward in USB mode on DX-398 with internal antenna: 594, 666, 
693, 702, 747, 774, 792, 972, 1107, 1242, 1566 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST) ###

[IRCA] New DXpedition base in Finland becomes instant success

[Mika Makelainen]

The first ever purpose-built DXpedition base in Finland was constructed 
earlier this year, tested by us in October, and found to be excellent. A 
spartan cabin in the middle of nowhere is equipped with nine beverage 
antennas, each almost a kilometer in length. A bunch of New Zealand AM 
stations and a 10-watt highway advisory station from Alaska were among 
the highlights heard in Aihkiniemi.

[IRCA] Greenland, Newfoundland and a low band full of Spaniards Sunday night into WI

[neilkaz]

A fast blurb here as I must catch a plane. Had a one evening quicky DXped at my 
WI Lake Mich house Sun night. Times GMT. By 2240 there were quite a few TA's in 
and an hour later the low band sounded like I was in Spain. Almost every low 
band channel with Spain on it had something from there and 693 had Spain // 684 
and 774 et all usually over BBC. 810 and 1080 had SER's well under WGY/WTIC // 
1116 et al. 720 had SS and PP mixed thru phased WGN. 1116 had a clear 
Pontevedra ment at end of 2230 break ! 1134 had COPE after Croatia went off.. 
WISN phased of course.

Now for the good stuff.  Was phasing down WGN's postgame Blackhawks show 
(another sad loss) and at 0341 some different mx came atop and then the 
language of the ancr sure didn't seem Iberian. Later on Canaries was atop 
clearly // many RNE's and then it faded down and talk in Greenlandic rose above 
and by 0348 was actully slightly atop WGN phase null ! Then an EE song and a 
few minutes of talk and deep fades and then seemingly all talk across 0400 and 
faded down. This sounds like what I've heard from them in NF. New country for 
me. 

Checking 750 from time to time phasing WSB and WARD wasn't that pesty. CBC-like 
jazz show fading up at times and then CBC nx from 0500 to 0506 occ hrd..CBGY is 
easiest NU here by far.

73 KAZ Grafton WI R8A Phased BOG System 34 deg 445 ft // 312 ft both terminated

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-9

[D1028Gary]

 
Hello All,
 
 The improved Asian conditions noted by  Richard and Bill somehow 
failed to materialize here this morning, as signals  from both the "big gun" 
and 
second-tier TP's seemed slightly down from  yesterday. Although most of the 
regular Asian lineup put in fair appearances,  the vibrant audio from 
stations like 603-HLSA and 639-CNR1 was gone,  and the session failed to 
deliver 
very much excitement.
 One notable exception was a late fade-in on 1377  by a presumed CNR1 
and an UNID co-channel in KRKO splatter around 1512,  continuing a mystery 
that had also been observed here previously. The two  stations had brief 
moments of reasonable audio in the 1380 splatter, with the  non-Chinese station 
having a male voice in apparent Japanese, but too weak to  check the NHK2 
parallel. Other than this brief moment of excitement, the  morning's results 
were fairly lackluster.
 
 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 
reciever:

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-9

[D1028Gary]

Hello All,
 
 The improved Asian conditions noted by  Richard and Bill somehow 
failed to materialize here this morning, as signals  from both the "big gun" 
and 
second-tier TP's seemed slightly down from  yesterday. Although most of the 
regular Asian lineup put in fair appearances,  the vibrant audio from 
stations like 603-HLSA and 639-CNR1 was gone,  and the session failed to 
deliver 
very much excitement.
 One notable exception was a late fade-in on 1377  by a presumed CNR1 
and an UNID co-channel in KRKO splatter around 1512,  continuing a mystery 
that had also been observed here previously. The two  stations had brief 
moments of reasonable audio in the 1380 splatter, with the  non-Chinese station 
having a male voice in apparent Japanese, but too weak to  check the NHK2 
parallel. Other than this brief moment of excitement, the  morning's results 
were fairly lackluster.
 
 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 
reciever:

Re: [IRCA] Sony ICF2010 25Khx error

Hi Nick - thanks very much for the offer - if you do find the article, I will 
send it along with the 2010 to Craig Siegenthaler at Kiwa when I send the 2010 
to him in January for the Wide Filter mod and ask him to do it for me. I'm 
doing it when I go away for a couple of weeks to get married, as I figure that 
my fiancee would probably take a dim view of me bringing the radio along 
anyway...

Thanks again - if you want to send it to me my email is michaely...@shaw.ca.

[IRCA] DXING ON HONEYMOONS

[Pete Taylor]

My wife rolled with it. I brought along my big, old Sony ICF 6700W on our New 
Zealand honeymoon in November 1978. Fascinating time to DX: (1) right around 
the same time most of the rest of the world switched to 9kHz spacing and (2) I 
was able to follow the election returns on KNX the FIRST time Jerry Brown won 
the California governorship. I still have the radio - and the same (tolerant) 
wife...

[IRCA] Germany 177 + TAs strong

[Saul DX]

German talk heard a half hour ago on 177, first timne ever here.

A lot of the usual TA signals are doing well. Probable Spanish 1008 but not 
sure which station, good hets and some weak audio various places. SK strong 
690, 940...


Long day with work, too tired to do too much right now, will get some sleep

Hi Bill,
 
 TA reception here in western WA and western  BC seems to be more 
dependent upon excellent Trans-Arctic propagation  than using the best 
equipment, 
although a good receiver and antenna  certainly will improve your chances 
of success. 
 
 The local Ultralight radio group has enjoyed  several barefoot pocket 
radio receptions of stations like 1134-Croatia (before  the schedule change) 
and 1215-Absolute in previous years, shortly after hometown  buddy Guy 
Atkins' "First West Coast ULR-TA" reception of 1575-Radio  Farda on a $25 Sony 
SRF-39FP "Prison Radio" in Grayland during a November  2008 DXpedition. When 
TA conditions are great in this local area, almost  any decent portable can 
receive a TA "big gun."

  The job had  me out of town for a couple of days, and just got back, 
so not sure if things were better or worse at sunset.  Currently the 
only TA reaching audio once in a while is reliable old 1215 from the 
UK.   Incidentally 1377, although not at audio level, has a good carrier 
at times, so likely France is back on (as much as I'd like to believe 
it's something more exotic..

Re: [IRCA] New DXpedition base in Finland becomes instant success

[Walter Salmaniw]

Great report Mika.  It's a fun read!  1 km Beverages are simply something
that would be next to impossible here on the WCNA.  I'd be really interested
in how they would compare to say the Lankgford QDFA, or Wellbrook phased
array, or our much more modest BOGs, or Beverages.  Personally, I've never
used any Beverage over about 350 meters, and more usually, they're in the
250 or shorter length (meters)Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC

Re: [IRCA] Greenland, Newfoundland and a low band full of Spaniards Sunday night into WI

[Walter Salmaniw]

720 Greenland is still one of the top of the list of what I'm hoping to hear
at my DX cottage on Haida Gwaii.  Anyone suggest the best time to try
between September and March?  I've never had any luck with the 3815USB
Greenland transmitter, but that's mostly due to unfavourable times of
broadcast...Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC

[IRCA] Strong het on 530khz this evening

[Tom Jasinski]

Strong and loud het against 530khz noted on car radio while driving on west
side of Joliet this evening around 03:00 UTC.  A few minutes later at home
with R8A and Quantum loop had strong carrier with just bits of unid audio.
Suspect Algeria?  Several other low band hets & carriers also noted.
Nothing from 1521 or 1134.

I have to agree Walt...it was a reasonable start, but  carriers are 
pretty sparse right now, and erratic.

Re: [IRCA] ?HAARP on 2750

[Walter Salmaniw]

Glenn, thanks for the 2750 tip.  I'm listening to it right now at 04:16
UTC.  Very unusual for sure.  About every 6 seconds there is a signal that
eminates from the carrier and extends out 10 kHz on each side with a rising
pitch.  On the Perseus waterfall, it looks like an arrowhead.  The signal
then repeats itself.  The carrier never changesbang on 2750
kHz.Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC

Re: [IRCA] Greenland, Newfoundland and a low band full of Spaniards Sunday night into WI

[neilkaz]

Walt,

I think your best time for Greenland might be when there's little else on the 
channel, ie before TP's are coming in. Most likely this wouldn't be around Xmas 
time when I think you get all day DX. Also I suspect that the QDFA would render 
KDWN irrelevent and WGN would be off the side of the beam.

Yes, I suspect Algeria, too. Seemed to be hearing Arabic music there awhile

[IRCA] TA/TP 10 Nov in Victoria, BC

[Nick Hall-Patch]

An interesting mix.still getting occasional showings of weak pop mx from 
presumed Virgin R. on 1215 at 0650UT, but JOUB is showing a bit of audio on 774 
also, a snippet on 1287 a short time ago, and a few good carriers, but 
everything is quite short-lived.  Ah, there's JOIB on 747, and weak JOHR is 
back on 1287.



best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] TP for 9 Nov from Victoria, BC.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Whoops, didn't realize I hadn't sent this yetI don't think this was a 
stellar morning except (ahem) for hearing NHK1 synchros on 1584 (see below).   
Listened at 1350UT to not much, checked back about 1420 to not much again, but 
stopping by at 1500UT led to a bit of excitement.  So the strengths below were 
all clocked after 1500.


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


1566 HLAZ was fair during JJ broadcast earlier, but was stronger at 1510UT 
during the CC program

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

594 JOAK
774 JOUB
828 JOBB
972 HLCA

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

648 KK talk at 1504UT, presumably R. Free Asia from Russia; best this has been 
for quite a while
1476 echoey CC talk at 1502UT
1584 NHK1 low power synchros //594 at 1511UT ; very nice surprise

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 //594
954 likely JOKR
1134 ?
1242 at 1512 JOLF?
1287 likely JOHR
1377 CNR-1 woman talking //6030


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

1323, 1521, 1575

best wishes,

Nick
