[IRCA] If anyone needs 600 WBOB Jacksonville, FLORIDA for their Logbook........
Hi Guys: Just a quick message to advise that I have Logged 600 WBOB Jacksonville, 3 Times in the past week!!! The last 2 Mornings at Sunrise (0600 EDT), I have heard them with quite good signals. Typical Morning Programming.News, Weather and Local Ads. Lots of mentions of "Jacksonville" and Lots of WBOB IDs. The first logging was made last Tuesday evening at 0200 EDT. So..I'm not sure what they are doing down there in Florida with their 5 KW/1.8 KW Nights Signal...but it's becoming quite reliably heard up here in CANADA!! If you need 600 WBOBgive a try early in the Mornings and especially at the 0600 - 0700 Sunrise time!! 73.ROB VA3SW Robert S.

Re: [IRCA] TP for 17 Oct 2012 from Victoria: poor
Hung off my balcony at a painfully early 13:20 - Too early for much of anything - but somewhat quieter out there QRN wise than inside. The mornings here the last few days have been brilliant and mild - tempted to tease the duo of Hall-Patch and Salmaniw into a early morning sojourn to the water-front to see what's up, Russian Ferrite loop style. > Listened between 13:50 and 14:20.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-17
Hello All, Asiatic TP results here this morning were much closer to Walt's dreary version than the decent signals reported by Dennis, but with some bizarre twists that didn't seem to happen elsewhere. Remaining traces of the latest solar tantrum wiped out all the low-band TP signals except for a ghostly 594-JOAK (and the season's new regular, 738-Tahiti). While the low band was very poor the high band wasn't bad at all, with 1575-VOA having some of its best signals of the season (although highly erratic). The high band big guns on 1134, 1287 and 1566 also had no problem being heard, even when the normally strong Koreans on 972 and 1053 were completely comatose. It was almost like the band had a high pass filter for Asiatic TP's with frequencies above 1100. 1575-VOA's signal was unusual in having some decent audio throughout most of sunrise enhancement, instead of its usual pattern of dropping in and out of the noise. In general the session was another strange example of twisted propaga! tion, which seems to be pretty common at this point in the season. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Threshold audio (Japanese male speech) late at 1402 738 Radio Polynesie Mahina, Tahiti Fair French YL speech in and out around 1352 1134 KBS Hwaseong, S. Korea (presumed) Poor-fair music rising above CKWX splatter at 1350 1287 JOHK Sapporo, Japan (HBC) Fair music at 1349 1503 JOUK Akita, Japan Poor Japanese conversation around 1343; 594 // unavailable for ID check 1566 HLAZ Jeju, S.

[IRCA] TP for 17 Oct 2012; Victoria version
Did a little listening around 1320UT when conditions were mostly Asiatic, big guns acting a little wimpy. But not as wimpy as after 1400, when rather than enhancement, we saw disenhancement (disenchantment?) of Asians, with a little blip from a couple of Australians. I did hear a bit a Gary's upper band enhancement though, as HLAZ was at its best around 1415UT, and there were good carriers on 1242, 1422 and 1575. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): none reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 774 JOUB EE lessons at 1326UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 747 JOIB EE lessons //774 1326UT 774 3LO likely, w/DU EE by man at 1411UT 972 HLCA at 1323UT, man and woman in KK 1566 HLAZ man in CC at 1413, best strength of the morning for this one. 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) : 891 woman talking, DU EE sounding intonation, no potential parallels available, 1403UT 1053 KK jammer at 1325UT Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 567 576 1242 1422 1575 best wishes, Nick -- Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC ___ 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] Two Daytimers on 1560 On Late
In recent months, KLNG has been making it a habit of staying on 2 hours past local sunset, then signing off, even though, as you pointed out, they are clearly licensed as daytime-only. If they stay true to form, they should go off at 2145 ELT. And since they are daytime-only, they also should probably not be signing on at 0600 local time, either, as they've been doing for over 20 years. KTIC-840 in West Point, Nebraska, also licensed as daytime-only, has been doing this for a long time, as well. 73, Rick Dau (doing some DXing whilst packing my suitcase for a 5-day trip to Milwaukee, South Bend, and Iowa City!)

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Two Daytimers on 1560 On Late
I'm sure I don't need to remind you, Rick, that 1560 may also be a special case. Remember a certain station in a certain, shall we say, Iowa city that we used to live in, that was on 1560 but had to sign off at Local Sunset but was then allowed to SIGN ON at Bakersfield Local Sunset? To protect New York, which didn't have to go to their night pattern until Bakersfield Local Sunset? For folks who may not remember this, that station was KCJJ before it moved to 1630. If anybody remembers more details about this bizarre allocation, chime in!
