[IRCA] WLRB 1510 daytimer on past signoff

2010-12-14 Thread Tom Jasinski
WLRB 1510 is on the air with oldies music, frequent ID's, some fading but
generally a good signal in WLAC null.

Yes, WLRB Macomb, IL was noted *on top* of WLAC at 1:05am CST w/CL sung. I 
think this might be a new logging for me. 73, George S., MN

Unid station under WLAC 1510 is playing oldies type music at 22:15 CST.
Last week WLRB Macomb was noted.  Same station tonight?

Am recording hoping for an ID at 22:45.

Re: [IRCA] Personal Best

2010-12-14 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
With a westerly facing antenna I might suggest you try for a 
TransPacific or two in the morning, Michael, but TPs have been pretty 
poor of late.   They also start fading in around 0630UT at this time 
of year.   I'll send in an alert if  anything turns up with a better 
signal than what has been "normal" of late.


best wishes,

Nick

The unit he modified is the MFJ1026,  which is similar to the 1025

Thank you for your reply. Just checked now at 1935 that 702 kHz has Russian.

EMWG has English listed at this time, not Russian, and only one 
station at Rasht with 800 kW.  WRTH shows Russian at this time, from 
Kiahshar with 500 kW.  Also listed is a 50 kw station in Bushehr.


I no longer remember what cuaased me to say the WRTH conflicts with 
itself. The frequency listing and the national entry are in accord.  
Maybe I mixed up a different frequency.


Thanks for looking carefully at my report.  After I wrote this I have 
found nearly 20 additional Iranaian stations at the half hour with the

Jim,
  I believe Iran also uses 702 for Russian at 1930, and 702 does 
very well, as I heard it here many evenings last season, and even a 
few mornings.   Don't think they use 711 though, so may not be your 
answer.

I happened to be reviewing a recording on 702 when your message

Armenia, if that Mayak is heard correctly.  But now I have the

[IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, December 11-14, 2010

2010-12-14 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.

** KOREA NORTH. The Chosun radio war was raging the morning of Dec 12, the main 
Asian signals on lower bands coming from there:
2850, at 1332, KCBS with usual choral music, S9+18.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) [I include this in my MW reports, since 
2850 is officially MW, but here I will spare you all the SW above 3 MHz logs 
which went with it]

** MEXICO. Dec 14 at 1451 UT, I decided to check MW for residual skywave 
signals an hour after sunrise. 1300 had Spanish dominating briefly, government 
PSA, timecheck for something 10 de la mañana, which had to be an hour or two 
off, even if he was saying 10 till 10, ID as Radio México Noticias. No doubt 
the 50 kW XEP from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, where it`s 7:51 am. But this was 
probably a network program from the DF at 8:51 am local (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Finally Dec 13 around 1930 UT we went out to the Talking House at 
1910 E Ash that I had heard a few days ago on 1570 coming from Samantha 
Sabedra`s house elsewhere in Enid, but not since. No sign of a signal on 1570 
as we approached 1910. However, there was a standard-issue T.H. sign next to 
the house, showing 1630! 
http://www.w4uvh.net/1630-1570th2.jpg

Yes, there it is on the caradio parked right in front --- and with huge splash 
from local KFXY-1640, which is 10 kW, but ERP much more than that with 
direxional antenna tight toward Enid. Possibly could have lessened the QRM by 
side tuning downward, but the caradio moves only in 10-kHz steps. 

This is incredible: she picks a terrible frequency due to QRM, which you can`t 
even hear clearly at local range of a few meters. 1570 would have been much 
better, in the daytime only having to overcome weak 1570 from Claremore (and 
maybe 1580 from Blackwell). 

Sounds like the same loop we had heard earlier on 1570 at Samantha`s, 607 W. 
Elm, complete with big hum, which however, stopped for a second during a break, 
so we know it is on her audio recording, another turn-off. There was no point 
in recording it at the real location. 

Here you are privileged to hear it as previously recorded in front of Sam`s 
place, better than any current customer could on 1630:
http://www.w4uvh.net/1570th1910.mp3

Blurb about the house included here among others:
http://www.samanthakennington.com/Featured-Homes.html

Enlargeable view of 1910 E Ash:
http://www.samanthakennington.com/200_150_csupload_24334912.jpg?u=349741585

In reality it`s a bit messier, and obviously still occupied, with a motorcycle 
parked in front, and a black cat (white paws) [not pixured] perched atop the 
polycart SWDU (solid waste disposal unit) on the west side:
http://www.w4uvh.net/1630-1570th1.jpg

The 1630 sign is not on the curb, but there is a realty sign with MLS handouts 
for the taking. One about this house says it is 51 to 70 years old, price 
$37,900, has lead-based paint, etc., etc. Also Sam`s own folder listing this 
and several other hice, back page promoting Talking House concept, including 
``You won`t even know it`s on``. 

As we drove away, the 1630 signal hardly lasted a block before being totally 
overcome by KFXY-1640. No wonder we had not heard it further away. I`d say this 
client is not getting her money`s worth. O yeah, the TH deal is a free bonus! 
BTW, per her e-mail address, Sam`s nickname is Sassy.

At night, early UT Dec 14, we were within one mile of the property, and altho 
KFXY was not such a problem, could not hear it vs broadcasters on 1630. But who 
wants to inspect a potential purchase in the dark?

1670, at a parking lot in western Enid, 2120 UT Dec 13, there is just enough 
WTDY starting to skywave in to audiblize a mushy co-channel signal, which has 
got to be another Talking House. 1670 was the frequency where Greg Winkeljohn 
was running three at a time a few months ago, but we thought they had all gone 
off. Certainly the most easterly and strongest one is not heard as we approach 
that area, but will have to revisit the other two spots to be sure this 1670 is 
really somewhere else, and then track it down (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1320, low rumbling het at 2124 UT Dec 13 on caradio. 
Primary groundwave here is KCLI Clinton OK, so will have to check near low noon 
whether its carrier is out of step with neighboring frequencies on the DX-398

EMWG has English listed at this time, not Russian, and only one station at 
Rasht with 800 kW.  WRTH shows Russian at this time, from Kiahshar with 500 
kW.  Also listed is a 50 kw station in Bushehr.


I no longer remember what cuaased me to say the WRTH conflicts with itself. 
The frequency listing and the national entry are in accord.  Maybe I mixed 
up a different frequency.


Thanks for looking carefully at my report.  After I wrote this I have found 
nearly 20 additional Iranaian stations at the half hour with the distincive 
IS.

Jim,
  I believe Iran also uses 702 for Russian at 1930, and 702 does very 
well, as I heard it here many evenings last season, and even a few 
mornings.   Don't think they use 711 though, so may not be your answer.

I happened to be reviewing a recording on 702 when your message 
arrived. Unusual two chimes at 1930z, with "Govorit (Mayak?)". 
Armenia, if that Mayak is heard correctly.  But now I have the same 
chimes, weaker, on 711. No idea who that is!

More Radio Shacks from
The Quartz Hill Collection
__

More radio shacks from around the world feature in the second release
of QSL cards from the Quartz Hill Collection at
www.radioheritage.net, the global website of the Radio Heritage
Foundation.

Quartz Hill was a former shortwave receiving station for the domestic
radio service in New Zealand, and local amateurs were fortunate
enough to use the splendid location near Wellington for a number of
years.

Since replaced by a wind farm, Quartz Hill ZL6QH and its operators
worked many thousands of amateur radio stations from around the world.

Some of these stations are included in this latest Radio Shacks
Gallery feature and we invite you to visit www.radioheritage.net
today to check out the rigs and operatorsand do look out for the
first release in the series as well. 

Amateur radio continues to thrive in many countries as new
generations get the spark of wireless, and this continues a century
old and still popular means of personal contact across the globe.

QSL cards remain a great way to confirm the contacts made, and we're
glad to share a tiny fraction from the Quartz Hill collection with
you.

connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the
Pacific. Our global website is www.radioheritage.net. Become a 2011
