[IRCA] Evening Dashboard DX - Nov. 17, 2010
Seems like today was a good day for dashboard DX! On my way home from work tonight, I decided to tune around some more. I stopped on 720 kHz, where I heard a very strong signal in Spanish. Thinking this was the Cuban outlet that I normally hear on this frequency, I started to tune away when I suddenly heard the ID at 7:04 PM CST (0104 UTC) ... Radio Formula 7-20 XEAVR, Primera Cadena Nacional, Veracruz I was totally surprised! I had to pull over and stop just to make sure! This is a totally new station for me! The male announcer gave the same (or similar) ID about 5 minutes later at 7:09 PM CST (0109 UTC). As soon as I got home, I tried to hear them again, but - my luck - the Cuban had taken over the frequency. But, at least I got two good ID's! 73 and Great DX'ing!! Stephen H.

[IRCA] My WBIX QSL has arrived.
A big thanks to organiser Jim Pogue for my first ever DX Test QSL. (I've been collecting for over 40 years with a couple given in kc/s!) It arrived safely on this side of the pond today. A genuine signed full data QSL!

[IRCA] Morning Dashboard DX - Nov 18, 2010
This must be the time of year for dashboard DX'ing! On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have a 6:15 AM CST telecon, so I'm usually on my way to work by 5:30 AM. This morning, around 5:34 AM CST (1134 UTC), I was listening to 760 kHz. Instead of the usual monster signal from XEABC in Mexico City, I heard another station with a good signal. It wasn't booming in, but it was strong enough to copy. The news announcer was reading news highlights, mentioning the Mexican Estado of Chiapas in almost every item. There was a continuous sound track running beneath the announcer, which made it difficult to understand sometimes. Then at 5:40 AM CST (1140 UTC) I heard a semi-ID, Radio Uno and the announcer mentioned San Cristobal and Chiapas several more times. Could it be that I was listening to XERA from San Cristobal, Chiapas, Mexico? Wow! That would be another totally new Mexican station for me! Maybe the reason I was not hearing XEABC was that they were still on their night pattern, while daybreak had already occurred in Chiapas? At least that's what my trusty DX Edge indicates! Anybody else heard this station? Stephen H.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 11/18/10
TP signals, all from Japan, were fewer and weaker this monring. Most of the activity was in the few minutes around local sunrise at 1310 UTC. Receiver: Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5 loopstick. 531 unID, 1310, slight het. 558 unID, 1232, slight het (KLZ 560 QRM). 567 unID (JOIK?), 1312, slight het. 594 JOAK Tokyo J, 1303, JJ talk, barely audible to poor. 693 JOAB Tokyo J, 1307, man JJ, poor (KGGF 690 QRM). 702 unID, 1224, carrier (WLW KSEV 700 QRM). 747 unID (JOIB?), 1222, slight het fading away by 1223 (WSB 750 QRM). 774 JOUB Akita J, 1215-1255, audio fading in out (KSPI 780 QRM). 828 unID (JOBB?), 1242, het (WCCO XEIK 830 QRM). 873 JOGB Kumamoto J, barely audible talk at 1258, 2200 JST TS at 1300 followed by man talking in JJ, heard again at 1308-1309 //JOAB 693.

Re: [IRCA] DX last night - one new some unID's and oddballs
Checking 10watts.com and some websites, I think your 1380 Classic CW is more likely WRAB rather than ON. As for Mexican, likely WTOB or maybe WHEW (isnt WHEW supposed to be on at night?)

Re: [IRCA] DX last night - one new some unID's and oddballs
Thanks KAZ. I emailed WRAB. I got a permanent delivery error from my mail server BUT I also got a thanks for your email automated reply from them, that they will be getting back with me. :) Odd, it permanently failed but still went out?! WRAB's website did not have a listen live link, so I'll wait for a response. BTW - their website looks like something that I developed for Anderson Speedway back in 1995 - kind of mom and pop-ish. :) I do not know about WMOB as I only recently added them to my logbook about ten days ago. They were not on their day rig at night per se, but they were not 100% legal. They fired up their full power PSRA at 5 AM CST, an hour too soon. Last night they may have been on the day rig late - and I still believe that many station's automation have choked on this year's DST switch and that is why so many right now are cheating for lack of a better term. Speaking of 1360, my situation sounds like your situation with 1380 and St. Louis. For decades, Cincinnati has dominated my reception of 1360 during the day, sunset and sunrise periods and at night - though at night they were not as dominant. I do not know if their facilities have changed or it's the better nulling of my ULR's but Cincy is not the bother that it has been in the past. Maybe you should pull some ground wire's out of the St. Louis stations setup - or buy a $40 ULR. :) 73 and Thanks!

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-18
Hello All, Asian TP's this morning were far from vibrant here, as the west coast apparently suffered through the same propagation drop off described by Richard and Bill previously. TP signals started off at a fair level around 1330, but again went steadily downhill from there. With Asian signal levels reduced from yesterday, it was slim pickings until a modest sunrise enhancement around 1500, which managed only to restore several big gun TP's to a fair to good level. 594, 747, 828, 972 and 1134 came back out of the noise, along with a few brief appearances by 648-VOR, 657-Pyongyang, 738-BEL2 and 1377-CNR1. Pyongyang's rickety transmitter continues to muffle the modulated audio, thankfully silencing its own tirades (as if anybody really listened to them). Overall results were modest at best, and provided further evidence that the December Doldrums may already be knocking on the door. 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 rainy back yard).

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 18 Nov 2010
In common with other reports, not a particularly exciting morming for TPs. The weather outside seems like January (-17C as I type this), and the TP propagation seems to match. Japan on 774 was actually doing quite well, but that was the exception. The only other audio was from the other Japanese on 693, 747, and 828, all rather weak. 594 didn't make audio at all, and there was barely a trace of a carrier from the Koreans on 972 and 1566. 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] ULR DX.......One NEW STATION @ SUNSET SKIP Tonight...........
Hi, Rob! I logged WCXN last night, 11/17, after reading a couple of tips on internet lists. I logged them at 2003 EST, almost THREE HOURS after Claremont sunset! Not that I care-- just happy to have a new one in the logbook. 73 Bill Dvorak Madison WI In a message dated 11/18/2010 5:49:52 P.M.

Re: [IRCA] DX last night - one new some unID's and oddballs
Hi, Dave! Tonight 11/18 at around 1820 EST I was hearing CKPC 1380 Brantford ON playing CW (not classic but not the more rock-like contemporary either) and using the slogan AM 13-80. The signal was surprisingly strong on a very crowded frequency. At one point they gave a web address of am1380.ca. Hope this helps. 73 Bill Dvorak Madison WI In a message dated 11/18/2010 1:59:36 P.M. Central Standard Time, david.hasc...@dfas.mil writes: I spent about 90 minutes last night, primarilly DX'ing in the 1300's. Although I only caught one new one (overall to boot) I had some fun with some of the unID's. 1370: It appeared that Pineville, NC 1370 had their 16Kw day rig on late, as it was 9 PM ET, or almost 4 hours after Pineville LSS. I also had Fort Cambell KY with rock music and what sounded like a High School football game but it was Bowling Green U Vs. Toledo, thus WSPD. 1380: I had Classic Country again on 1380 with a simple AM 13-80 slogan. Faded down during weather and ads. Did not appear to match Brantford ON's stream as they seem to play newer CW. Maybe Arab, AL? Winona MN (doubtful)? I am sending an email to the Arab, AL station. The CW station went way below South Beloit, IL's Stateline Sports station and then a SS station was heard. The only imaging that I caught was a La Musica ment at 2054 EST. WKDM-NY would be Mandarin per their schedule. WTOB-NC? WHEW-TN on late? ??? 1310: Local WTLC-AM (The Light) *may* be stuck on day power as their signal and associated slop (especially on 1320) are greater than normal, at night. Normally I can hear traces of Madison, WI in the nulls and underneath. They have at least had their IBOC off for the past few weeks! 1320: WTAS-PA is the only thing making it through - trivial relog. 1330: The new one! Was chasing a Classic Country station where I could only barely tell what song was being played. I heard an AM 1330 W-R-A-? liner, so I pulled up Barry's site and saw two possibilities WRAM in IL and WRAA in VA. Found WRAM's website and the stream matched as did the liner, hearing a definite repeat of the WRAM ID at 2110 ET. No doubt that this station was on their proper 50 watt night power due to P or VP signal. The little barefoot Eton really pulled this one out. 1360: Southern Gospel. Who knows? Maybe WMOB-AL again? --- 1330 WRAM IL Monmouth 11/17 2110 Vp w/Classic Country and ID // to webstream. Barely there. NEW! DH-IN 1380 unID 11/17 2020 F w/Classic Country or country variety.

Re: [IRCA] TAs!
I am sure it was even better earlier in the evening. Helps to begin reviewing the band before the midwest 50 kW signals start dominating. This was a remarkable bandscan. On the Perseus nearly every channel showed audio or a het at 10 PM local. I had set the perseus for a timed recording at 2055z, but it failed to record. Oh well, I guess I'll have to review more of my terrabyte's worth of Newfoundland recordings!

[IRCA] TP for 18 Nov from Victoria, BC.
Yes, I got lazy this morning, and didn't listen around 1400UT as there didn't seem much of interest there at that time. At 1455UT and afterwards, there was a minor lift, but only at the upper end of the band at this location. (and...this evening 0605UT 19 Nov found 279 delivering audio...hmmm, there it is again at 0625, man in RR; some audio on 747 also, struggling with splash...and of course, carriers) pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIBbriefly, about 1510UT 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 1422 JORF peaking at 1522 w/JJ talk by woman 1566 HLAZ not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 972 HLCA 1287 JOHR at 1504UT 1503 JOUK //594 at 1458UT 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) : 1206 likely Yanbian 1242 JOLF? 1314 woman talking 1505UT, JJ inflection? If so, JOUF 1332 woman talking at 1507; too much splash for language ID 1386 seemed to be //828 w/man talking, so JOQC + synchros? 1476 maybe China? 1494 deep voiced man, no idea Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 648, 936, 1098 DU, 1323, 1467, 1521, 1557, 1575 best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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
