[IRCA] 1280 kHz tone

[Glenn Hauser]

While the last three times I heard it, I was sure it was a carrier on 1279 kHz 
only, tonight I am just as sure that it`s also on 1281, i.e. instead of an 
off-frequency station, someone on-frequency with a 1 kHz tone, 0520+ UT Tuesday 
Sept 25. (So unlikely to be findable in the daytime, but tnx to those who 
checked). It`s still looping NE/SW of here, pretty weak. It has not been there 
every night. Hope someone can locate it.

73, Glenn Hauser, Enid OK

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle - 24 Sept

[Bruce Portzer]

The highlight this morning was a strong signal from HLAZ, briefly the 
best TP I've heard in a long time.  Other than that, things were rather 
quiet.  There were lots of carriers but not much audio.


Here's what the recording produced 1245-1355 UTC.

Good audio
972 - KBS not all that good until 1346 when it peaked with a nice signal 
for a few minutes
1566 - HLAZ quite strong with mellow Japanese woman 1247, then gradually 
weakened.  Fair-good after 1300


Somewhat OK audio
nobody

Weak bits of audio
747 Japan
774 Japan
1035 China, weak CC talk at times, two carriers visible on SDR display: 
1034.96 and 1035.00

1053 traces of jamming in the splatter
1476 weak talk 1348
1575 weak Asian talk 1249

Carriers visible on SDR display
558 693 738 756 828 909 936 1017 1062 1098 1134 1143 1205.96(China) 1242 
1287 1323(quite good level, 30 db above the noise but no audio) 1386 1557

Presuming all they have to do is add a tower and buy a bigger transmitter.
it could be a month or two.. but then we're into winter, so I wouldn't
doubt it's not until Spring next year that we see KBNH on 1210.

[IRCA] CORRECTED Re: [NRC-AM] KBNH 1230 Burns, OK (actually OR)

[Earl Higgins]

Small (but rather important) correction Paul-that's Burns, Oregon NOT Oklahoma.

I was scratching my head trying to figure out where on earth Burns Oklahoma 
could be that it would be far enough from Guymon to allow a station to inhabit 
the same clear channel.

Sincerely,

Earl Higgins

St. Louis, Missouri, USA (W 90.32 N 38.65)

From: "Paul B. Walker, Jr." 

The station got it's Construction Permit to move from 1230khz with 1KW Non 
Directional full time to 1210Khz with 10KW Day/2 towers and 650 W Night 2 
towers. 

The best way to describe the pattern is a mushroom with the top laying on it's 
right side, beaming east.

[IRCA] Alberta TP/DUs for 24 Sep 2012

[Nigel Pimblett]

I'd have to agree with Gary's description this morning, lackluster. 
 (though, being north of the border, it would be lacklustre to me!). 
A bit unusual in that 747 and 774 from Japan were actually doing quite 
well here, but the other big guns were mere carriers.  The only other 
one with audio was 1575 VOA, which for some reason has done well, at 
least in comparative terms, through the recent dry spell.

[IRCA] TP Sept 24, 2012 / Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

I'm beginning to wonder about the "mid-September anomaly".   The 
various indices stayed low (barring a small burp in the solar wind 
density), yet things were quite sparse and erratic, and signals were 
generally weaker than they have been.   Maybe the skip zone is part 
way between China and Japan, hi.


All signal levels here are maximums rather than average; guaranteed 
that if you tuned by a few minutes later, they'd be in the 
mud.  Oddly, one of the more consistent was 1476, consistently very 
poor, but consistent.  Something else of note was having a few 
signals (774, 972, 1575) now remaining audible after 1400UT.



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

1287 faded up to this level at 1338 UT, with man and woman in JJ
1566 man in JJ at 1333UT, good on and off for a couple of minutes


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

774 JOUB man in JJ 1340UT
972 HLCA man in KK 1337UT
1575 VoA man in SE Asian language (Khmer per schedule)

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be

understood by a native speaker:

1053 jammer appearing at 1345UT



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) :

639 CNR-1 woman talking at 1340UT //6125
747 JOIB woman talking //774 at 1349UT
954 man talking at 1346UT; too murky for any guess at a language
1017 woman talking 1336UT not //774; CRI?
1242 JOLF, woman talking w/excited JJ cadence at 1357UT; hung in long 
enough to hear the "cuckoo" pips at 1400UT

1323 woman talking, maybe RR cadence, at 1334UT; if so, CRI
1332 instrumental mx 1339UT; no idea
1476 unID.  woman talking 1351UT; way too murky for any hope of 
language ID; China has been noted here in the past, with an echo



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

189 279 (maybe a man talking?) 945 891 1251



best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-24

[d1028gary]

Hello All,

Overall it was another lackluster TP-DXing session this morning, with a few 
strange variations from yesterday. Around 1300 almost all the of the Asiatic 
TP's sounded comatose, but a late rally during peak sunrise enhancement (around 
1335 here) brought most of the Asian mainland big guns up to at least fair 
audio. With the exception of 594-JOAK and 1287-JOHR the Japanese didn't seem to 
benefit from the boost, and most of the NHK big guns (like 747-JOIB, 774-JOUB 
and 828-JOBB) failed to produce any audio at all. A couple of the big gun 
Chinese stations (603 and 639) barely came into audio range during peak sunrise 
enhancement, but others (936, 1044 and 1377) stayed down in the noise all 
morning. 738 had a moderate het from the Tahiti direction, but no French audio 
ever came up. Best overall TP audio was from 972-HLCA (good at times, very late 
in the session) and both 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA (fair).
 
594  JOAK  Tokyo, Japan  Poor Japanese speech rising above noise level
 at 1343; signal gone after 5 minutes
603  Hulun Buir, China  Very weak Chinese YL speech rising out of noise
 around 1338, then quickly dropped out
639  CNR1  China Synchros  Poor-fair Chinese male-female speech around
 1340; best Chinese signal of the session
972  HLCA  Dangjin, S. Korea  Fair-good Korean male-female conversation
 in 2 kHz heterodyne at 1348; best TP signal of the 
session
 http://www.mediafire.com/?x5hlm5wyqpq6fom
1053  Korean Jammer  Weak buzz coming up through the noise at 1333
1134  KBS  Hwaseong, S. Korea (presumed)  Wisps of music mixing with 
splatter at 1341 during peak propagation
1287  JOHR  Sapporo, Japan  Rapid Japanese speech rising  barely above 
the noise level at 1348
1566  HLAZ  Jeju, S. Korea  Poor-fair Japanese OM speech during Christian
religious program at 1328; very brief good audio at 
1329
http://www.mediafire.com/?wpwo46e1s0b4nqj
1575  VOA  Ban Rassom, Thailand  Poor-fair Asiatic language OM speech
at 1330; signal in and out all morning

73 and Good DX,

[IRCA] TP report from Victoria, BC for 24Sep2012

[Walter Salmaniw]

Not a particularly exciting morning, but still a few stations of interest.
 SF 134, A2, K0
Nothing heard from DU this morning.  For the first time this season, for me
at least, 279 was present with weak audio, although my setup is pretty
noisy in the LW region.
The Japanese were mostly attenuated for some reason today.
639, presumably CNR 1 was heard at fair level.  Perhaps one of the best JJ
was 1287.  Both 1566 and 1575 were also audible, with 1575 stronger than
1566 often.  Therefore, for the 2nd day, 1575 VOA was well heard.
This season there has been a total lack of 1557 Family Radio that was often
well heard in previous years.  Perhaps they're off the air with all of
their cut backs.  The other first tier JJ stations were present off and on,
but at attenuated levels.  73,  Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
