Very nice afternoon loggings, Bill!  Friday morning, a nice post-sunrise 
opening to Texas and Louisiana was noted here.  Had KCLE-1460 in @ 0856 CLT 
with a local trading post show and an ad for a local flower shop.  Three 
minutes later, KLCL was in on 1470 with a promo for local bands playing around 
the Lake Charles area for Mardi Gras celebrations.  Gotta love the dead of 
winter for medium wave!

Re: [IRCA] 1575/1503 from Gabriola

[Bruce Portzer]

Nice going, Nick.  Unfortunately, there's not been much TA activity in 
Seattle.  I found carriers on 1575 1422 1215 and maybe 783 when I 
started checking at 0250.  Absolutely nothing on 1503 at the moment.

[IRCA] 1503 and 1575 carriers

[Don Moman VE6JY]

at ~0100 ut Jan 16th, observing carriers on both 1503 and 1575.  Using the
Perseus in .098 span/.12 hz RBW and quite a long average to come up with
these, and trying to keep the calibration accurate - something I have lots
of trouble doing.  I wouldn't even be certain these are good to 1 hz.
 Every time I check the calibration, it always could be improved upon.

1575 seemed to have more earlier but just seeing 1574.997+, 1574.999 and
1575.000 (20 db over noise floor)

1503 shows 4 carriers: 1502.993, 996, 997 and 1503.000 being the strongest
at 27 db over the noise floor.  A 5th just started to show at .002.

I suspect the success here is due to a 340 degree Flag pointing up the Strait of
Georgia a couple of hundred meters away, Don.

At 2220UT audible carriers were on 1503, 1512, 1539, 1548 and 1575, though 1575
was down in strength from earlier.

In the extreme minimalist DXing category, a carrier was noted on 1476, that
switched off suddenly at 2050UT; Dubai is supposed to sign off at 2045UT.

Watch all this fade out by sunset...it's certainly faded down by 2315UT.

[IRCA] Late night Kona TP - Jan 15 2012

[cafe]

Stayed up passed 0900 UTC to hear a variety of hopeful things...
540 2AP Samoan Island station signing off with Anthem and instant
dead air (no carrier), Hints of Korea on 657, wisps of Japan on 774 (last year 
at this time
of the night, it would have been chock a block...) audio on
945, 954, 1017 (Tonga), 1170, 1440 (assume Kiribati ruling the channel),
EE on 1548, 1566 (hints of korean), and 1593.

Will concentrate on getting an ID out of Kiribati tonight -

Last night's audio clue was "William Goward Memorial College..." several
times - which would agree with the google hits for Kiribati. Yay.

[IRCA] TA?

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Morning TP conditions this morning weren't that good either here at first 
glance,  Rocco (barring strong signals from HLAZ-1566), but I see on the MW 
Circle list that there's evidence of Alaska on MW and LW in Scotland at 
present, so perhaps the trans-polar path remains open.   

I will be listening at local sunset also from Gabriola Island.

best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] For DXers targetting 1700-XEPE ....

[Tim Tromp]

Hi Steve,

I don't know about midnight, but I caught the Mexican National Anthem here
this morning on 1700 at 8am EST / 5am PST.  I'm assuming I heard XEPE (it
wouldn't be the first time), but the signal faded just before TOH to
confirm.

TA reception here was fair all night long (Spain + France mainly) but
nothing compared to huge signals at my sunset (2130utc).I'll be at the
shack again at that hour tonight.

[IRCA] 738 Tahiti from Michigan

[Tim Tromp]

A steady het was noticed around 5am EST on 738.  Checking again just before
6am, the het was much stronger and I could tell from the Perseus waterfall
display that it was producing audio.  Careful nulling of CFZM helped to
recover the weak audio that I could match against the Polynésie 1 web feed
during a short musical piece just before TOH.  While not new, this is the
first time I've heard them well before my local sunrise.  576 also had a
het, but much much weaker with no hope of audio.  Nothing from 702.

Re: [IRCA] KCEG-780 tested this afternoon

[Robert Wien]

Per radio-locator.com, KCEG's xmtr is right along I-25, about 5 miles south of 
Fountain, just opposite of the road from Fort Carson.  The next closest xmtr 
would be KREL-1580's which is off of Mesa Ridge Parkway and I-25 in Fountain 
(Security-Widefield), about 5 miles south of Colorado Springs.  I'll have to 
drive by the xmtr some time, right along South Meridian Road.  Anyone know 
what's happening with KJME-890's construction permit?  It looks like KJME and 
KCEG both at least diplex from one (or several?) of the towers, as KJME's is in 
the same location.  KCEG is licensed to Pueblo, KJME is licensed to Fountain.
