[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-28
Hello All, Greatly improved TP conditions were observed here this morning, with signals from China receiving the most benefit. 738-Taiwan had its best audio of the season with a call-in talk program at 1355, and 603-Hulun Buir was back with fair audio around 1353. I'll have time to post the full details this afternoon-- hope that others enjoyed the recovery! 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ___ 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] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-28: Victoria perspective
Right you are, Gary. Same in Victoria. Not great, but much better conditions, but mainly from the Japanese, and mostly the lower half of the band. I wasn't sure that, in part, it wasn't because of installing my new FLG100LN to my corner fed loop. Nothing new heard, but pleasant none-the-less. Nothing heard from DU, including Hawaii.

[IRCA] TP's for 9-28: the Victoria angle
I tuned in around 1340 and clearly it was somewhat jumpier than yesterday - lots of secondary hets all up and down the dial yielding some near audio. Audio poking its head out at 594, 603, 738, 747, 756, 774, noted absence of Korea on 972 but audio on 945 of all places.. near audio on 1008, jammer on 1053, near audio on 1098... and lots of hets but zero audible action above 1300 -- per usual. So - yes - uptick from yesterday. Right you are, Gary. Same in Victoria. Not great, but much better conditions, but mainly from the Japanese, and mostly the lower half of the band.

Re: [IRCA] WBKK-820
Seems to be on the air w/rs. Noticed mx and announcements on 820 around noon. Very high noise floor here generally, thanks to DSL and solid state stuff. No digihash from WCCO that's above my noise floor, tho. Powered down a bunch of noise generators (printer, laptop, modem, mobile phone charger and the like) and did hear an ad for a furniture company in Walker. Interesting, Walker is south of Bemidiji so signal must be pretty listenable there (given that, Mark D., when you're in the Brainerd area, you might be able to hear WBKK). Company coming so no chance kill more noise or to monitor for call or programming but it does seem they're on. - John S. ___ 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

[IRCA] TP Sept 28, 2012 / Victoria version
As others have mentioned, things brightened up this morning, somewhat.I found that the JJ regulars were OK, but must still be somewhat attenuated, as there were a number of Chinese mysteries poking their noses out of the undergrowth, so conditions might have been better (or more unusual) than they appeared at first glance.

[IRCA] Alberta TP/DUs for 28 Sep 2012
Things were improved today here in southern Alberta as well. Audio was only from the regulars (Japan on 747, 774, Korea 1566, VOA 1575) but that's a big step up from yesterday. Rather curiously, VOA from Thailand was about the strongest signal, its best performance of the seaon. 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] Alberta TP/DUs for 27 Sep 2012
Very true Gary, comparing current TPs to the 2007-2009 period would be a good recipe for long term depression. It's still fun to compare the day to day variations, and the odd pleasant surprise does turn up. Actually, I must say reception has exceeded my low expectations for this part of the solar cycle. And yes, chasing TPs so far from the invigorating sea air is certainly a challenge, but as long as every day isn't like yesterday, still a fun one. 73, Nigel On 27/09/2012 10:10 PM, d1028g...@aol.com wrote: Hi Nigel, Thanks for your daily TP-DXing reports from so far inland. Sometimes I wonder if those of us on the coast really appreciate the challenge of DXing so far away from salt water (like you, Steve and Richard do each morning). So far this new TP season has had its high points and low points, but this morning it was definitely scraping the bottom. I guess the key to enjoying the daily morning TP chase is to have low expectations in view of the current solar cycle, and be thankful for whatever pleasant surprises it offers. Comparing the current conditions to what we enjoyed 3 or 4 years ago is not going to provide a very high level of hobby satisfaction! 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) -Original Message- From: Nigel Pimblett nige2...@telus.net To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Thu, Sep 27, 2012 8:12 pm Subject: [IRCA] Alberta TP/DUs for 27 Sep 2012 Can't aruge with other comments this morning.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-28
Hello All, Thanks to Walt, Colin, and Dennis for their TP-DXing reports this morning, and for Nick's this afternoon (which always provide a very interesting comparison). As reported previously the Asiatic conditions here were much improved from yesterday, with the best seasonal audio yet from 738-BEL2 in Taiwan. This station had always been a regular visitor at good signal levels during previous seasons, but possibly because of the declining solar conditions it never managed decent audio here until this morning. The improved Japanese signals noted by Walt and Colin seem to have stopped north of the border; most of the signal boost from yesterday seemed to go the Chinese stations at this location. 603-Hulun Buir was back with fair audio (no sign of HLSA), and 639-CNR1 and 936-Anhui also had their fair moments late in the session around 1350. The 738-Taiwan fade-in around 1352 was pretty unusual, and was helped by the fact that 740-KCBS had faded out a few minutes earlier due to increasi! ng daylight. 558 HLQH Daegu, S.

[IRCA] TP DX 27 28 Sept
Yesterday's TP reception wasn't all that bad here, and didn't seem to be as bad as how everyone else made it out to be. Below average to be sure - the same cast of characters was still there, but with weaker signals. I've had worse mornings in the past couple of weeks. Today was slightly better, but kind of weird. The Koreans on 972 and 1566 were much weaker than normal, but some of the Chinese were better than they've been lately. The Japanese were generally below average, although 774 was a bit better than it's been so far this season. Most activity was at the low end of the dial, with only a handful of signals above 1200. Here's what was noted 1245-1355 Good audio KFQD-750 local nx and ad mixing with Portland 1333. Checked 580 620 650 640 670 700 780 800 and 850 but no other Alaskans were audible Fair audio (maybe kinda somewhat understandable by a native speaker) 738 Taiwan, weak at 1343 but fading up to decent level 1351 with CC talk, first audio of the season for this one 774 Japan - pips and weather 1300 981 China CC talk 1035 China, CC talk 3 carriers visible on SDR display 1575 VOA - Asian talk Weak audio (bits ad pieces of stuff in the noise and splatter) 747 Japan 756 China, 2 carriers 945 China 972 KBS surprisingly poor signal 1206 - China, weak talk on 1205.94 1476 - weak talk at times but not good enough to ID the language 1566 - sub par to be sure Carriers visible on SDR display 549 558 594 6211 639 648 657 666 693 729 828 846 891 909 918 927 936 954 963 1008 1026 1044 1053 1062 1116 1134 1143 1323 Bruce in Seattle Winradio Excalibur K9AY antenna ___ 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
