Is scary how fast time flies...

Was only yesterday when a bearded and 27 year old Nick Hall-Patch showed up
on my doorstep for the first time... was back in early 1976 -
marking the beginning of a "serious phase" of MW Dxing.

Everybody has one of those major "influencer" hobbyists that sets fire to your 
enthusiasm.
Nick was one of those guys.

And for those just joining us... Nick is fine.
I am just reminiscing on some of the good old days. :-)

[IRCA] TP for 13 Nov from Victoria, BC.

2010-11-13 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Tuned in at 1445UT this morning to find a fairly lively band already, so was 
looking forward to a nice bit of further enhancement after 1500, but no, not 
really, just sort of gently started to fade away, with occasional temporary 
fades up to good strength.I also found that there were quite a number of 
good carriers with no real audio, perhaps there was more local noise than 
usual, but the splatter seemed lively also.  Still, quite a lot of audio noted 
as well, considerably better than yesterday, so no complaints. And, JOUB might 
have been the strongest heard this season.


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

594 JOAK, but not always; some deep fades
774 JOUB really strong; beyond this category and nearly into the land of the 
semi-local...at least for a little while about 1450UT
828 JOBB at 1445, with something else underneath
972 HLCA becoming stronger past 1500UT
1566 HLAZ




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

567 JOIK much better than //594 at 1448UT, something else underneath
702 NHK2 //774  at 1450UT
747 JOIB
837 JJ talk not //594, but from 1455 many NHK1 have local news and weather  
etc., so likely JOQK
873 JOGB //828, but trading places with singing from N. Korea //2850
945 CNR1 presumed w/CC talk at 1520UT

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

603 big carrier w/mx //558 also at this strength; two stations on 603
639 CNR-1 //945 at 1452
657 N. Korea
936 CC talk at 1514; large carrier
954 JJ talk at 1455, so JOKR
981 CNR-1 //639
1134 KK talk,  so HLKC likely



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) :

675
711
738, big carrier, mumbly talk
756 not //6030, so KBS??
864 weak singing at 1458, gone by top of hour
882 sounded like two stations at 1501UT, too murky for any clues
918 mx, possibly CC talk at 1511
1269 big carrier, weak mx



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

1053, 1089, 1098 (Asian for a change), 1107, 1251, 1323



best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-13

2010-11-13 Thread D1028Gary
 
Hello All,
 
 Asian propagation this morning rebounded very  nicely from yesterday's 
mediocre results, providing TP signals that were pretty  vibrant-- 
especially in consideration of the elevated solar indexes. As  such, results 
here 
were much closer to Steve's positive version.  
 Both "big gun" and second-tier Asians  sounded very healthy around 
1400, and it was a scramble to check them all  during sunrise enhancement. Both 
828-JOBB and 972-HLCA had their best signals of  the season, as did 
738-HLKG. 585-JOPG was unusually strong, along with 675-VOV  and 756-CNR1. The 
Chinese lineup on 918, 927, 936 and 945 all were in audio at  some time this 
morning, along with the Asian regulars on  603, 648, 657 and 666. A mystery 
co-channel on 639 was briefly  dominant over CNR1 around 1455 (not // 594 or 
1134), but co-channels on 972  and 1377 seemed to get lost in the "big gun" 
audio. Overall conditions  were very favorable, but other than the 639 UnID no 
new or rare  Asian stations were heard. Sick-sounding transmitters were 
back with a  vengeance, though-- 738-BEL2's throbbing hum seemed to consume 
most of its  modulation at times, and 657-Pyongyang's high-frequency audio 
seems to  be missing. In relation to this, about the only surprising reception 
this  morning was apparently hearing the infamous Pyongyang tirade-yelling OM 
and YL  team on a vibrant 648-VOR at 1505 during the Korean program,  with 
their distinctive rapid-fire shouted Korean. Hopefully this was  just an 
aberration, and not an indication that this very noxious  programming is really 
part of a new 648-VOR schedule.
 
 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

[IRCA] The expanded band turns 15

2010-11-13 Thread Steve Francis

15 years ago tonight, at 8:20pm EST, Niel Wolfish in Toronto heard a test ID 
from WJDM-1660 in Elizabeth, New Jersey.  DXers in the Eastern and Central time 
zones had been noting tone and music testing since October 10, but this was the 
first report of a voice ID.  Regular sked would begin on December 8.  I heard 
them for the first time on December 14.  

I enjoyed making several long-haul catches from Out West the first few years of 
the expanded band, before the frequencies filled up.  Western DXers were 
hearing states such as New Jersey and Florida, some for the first time.

All in all, though, the dreams many of us had for the X-band failed to 
materialize.  Based on what I'd read about band conditions in past decades, I 
was halfway anticipating that if there were, say, three stations on a 
frequency, each with 1kw, they'd be constantly fading in and out with each 
other, the far ones mixing with the near. No real dominant, just like a 
remarkably uncluttered graveyard channel.   In reality, the one or two nearest 
stations are L&C, and the ones on the other side of the continent are never 
heard.  At least, that's the way it's been for me!

[IRCA] DX Log

2010-11-13 Thread Paul B. Walker, Jr.
After stopping at work real quick about 4:30pm, I told my roommate "Im going
to sit in the car for a bit and see what I can pick up" to which he replied,
"It's too early, you won't hear anything yet". I told him, "Sunset is only
an hour away, I'll get something"

About 4:35 pm, I stopped the dial on 1360 AM because I was getting a fairly
strong and very intelligible signal in the middle of a commercial break. I
heard mentions of an Auto Restoration Service In Walker County, after the
spot, a liner said "Classic Country 1360 WIXI" followed by mentions of the
Auburn ISP Sports Network-NEW LOG! 12KW Non Directional!

Shortly after I heard WIXI, I was tuning through the 1500khz region of the
dial. I heard mentions of Oklahoma Sooners playing Texas Tech on both
1520khz and 1560khz which turns out to be KOKC Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and
KGOW Belaire/Houston, TX. Neither signal was terribly clear, but both were
intelligble enough to make out what was being said. KGOW is a new logo, I
have never heard them before!

About 4:55 I had my radio tuned to 1680kHz, heard "Lean on me" followed by
another Urban Old School type hit, then a liner, "Music that makes you feel

[IRCA] 3 Day Weekend from Signal Hill, Newfoundland

2010-11-13 Thread Allen Willie
Hello Everyone,

Looks like decent weather for the weekend here in Newfoundland. I'm planning on 
Dxing with the Ultralight Radio once again from high above the Atlantic Ocean 
at 
Ladie's Lookout on Signal Hill possibly for each of the next three days at some 
point, maybe an early morning session along with a couple sessions at around 
sunset times. 

I've already completed one trek and session  earlier today at sunset with quite 
a few loggings. An entire summary of stations heard over the 3 day's 
sessions will follow

Good DX to All and have a Great Weekend

[IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Saturday

2010-11-13 Thread Steve Ratzlaff
A very unusual morning; for awhile just about every TP channel up to 1300 
kHz had audio. The Japan main stations were very strong and were playing 
Handel's Alleluia Chorus from The Messiah, and I could finally confirm 
getting them just by tuning across and checking for that familiar music! 
(Being very Asian-language-recognition-challenged.) 774 the best with solid 
8-9 level, like a local station. This started around 1420 utc, lasting to 
1440. Still hearing Asian audio on 891 at 1520 utc, earlier there were 3 
stations mixing.
LWBC Radio Rossii doing better today, though I haven't heard anything on 171 
for a week or more.

[IRCA] Arizona TP's for 11-13-10

2010-11-13 Thread Bill Block

Listened from 1305-1405 utc and at first not much was heard but around 1345 utc 
things changed big time.  For around 7 minutes I had the best TP DX this year 
with audio on: 279, 558, 567, 666, 693, 747, 774, 828, 972, 1197, 1206 and 
1566.  Many carriers were heard and some came close to audio.  The audio and 
carriers did not last long and they were gone before local sunrise.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 11/13/10

2010-11-13 Thread Richard Allen
TP's signals this morning were only a tab better than yesterday.  I definitely 
should have checked 657 kHz sooner.  Receiver: Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5" 
loopstick.  Local sunrise at 1305 UTC.

594  JOAK Tokyo J, 1253, JJ talk, poor to fair until audio faded out at 1307: 
carrier still audible at 1326.
657  unID (KRE?), 1312-1313, barely audible unintelligible audio, fading away; 
slight het at 1323.
693  JOAB Tokyo J, 1302, man JJ 2200 JST WX, fair in KGGF 690 QRM; faded out at 
1309.
702  unID, 1229, carrier; 1320 barely audible fading away.  Still a mystery?
774  JOUB Akita J, 1200, carrier audible in KSPI 780 slop; 1309, man JJ //JOAB 
693, fading away at 1310.
828  unID (JOBB?), 1238, het in WCCO & XEIK 830 QRM.
891  unID, 1239, slight het heard until KLTR 890 s/on at 1245.
1134 unID, 1304, barely audible carrier.
1242 unId, 1242, slight het, still audible at 1306.

[IRCA] WDDZ-550

2010-11-13 Thread Craig Healy
With WDDZ-550 in RI off, I have used that opportunity to record from the 
site using the towers.  SDR-14 is the receiver.  Audio is available 24/7 
from a Shoutcast server stream at my office.  Max 20 listeners at a time. 

From WinAmp or similar, open URL:


http://chowdanet.com:1604

I set up an automatic record at the top of the hour from 10pm to 6am.  Got 
almost four dozen so far. Current files at:


http://www.chowdanet.com/550files/


They are recorded using the two tower directional array.  That nulls down 
some locals.  This is the last night for that.  I will record for a few 
nights using the non-directional tower.  It is helpful to record just what 
stations are the main night interference for 550 in this area.


This will be continued until some time next week.  It's kind of a reverse DX 
test...

[IRCA] LEM295 DXpedition report from Finland published

2010-11-13 Thread Mika Makelainen
Here's a follow-up to the Aihkiniemi DXpedition report published a 
couple of days ago:


The second leg of our two-part DXpedition (first in Aihkiniemi, then in 
Lemmenjoki) began in a very sad way; our landlady Kristiina Jomppanen 
had passed away just two days earlier at the age of 90. Her sons 
reassured us that we would nevertheless be most welcome, and that they 
will be happy to host DXers also in the future. DXing didn't offer much 
consolation. Solar weather was unfavorable, and conditions began to 
improve only just before we had to leave. Still, quite a few nice new 
stations caught - and plenty of time for photography!

[IRCA] 1060 KYW PA back on (WQMV TN heard)

2010-11-13 Thread Saul DX
KYW back on at 0350 EDT. Had an "AM 1060 WQMV" ID for a very brief reception 
of Waverley TN and a new catch here. Listed as 1000 day, four watts night. 
This was also probably the same station running oldies just moments before 
KYW came back. Radio Educacion in Mex City was huge, way better than its SW 
6185 parallel.

[IRCA] 1060 KYW PA off + 770 + WLW IBOC gone

2010-11-13 Thread Saul DX
KYW seems off. Eduucation in Mex City dominant (had Cuban jazz a few minutes 
ago) and the Catholic station in MA coming in second. There was someone with 
ABC news just after 0300 but faded.


770 had WAIS ID just before midnight. In Buchtel OH.

690 is in the clear, has been all of past few days. Mexico City, El Paso TX, 
Gravelbourg SA and Cuba Progresso among dominant stations. This is worth 
monitoring in case WLW's IBOC returns.
