Re: [IRCA] 1310 WDTW MI Dearborn silent
I'm not able to DX much on 1310 here in Toronto with 1320 adjacent and huhge noise downtown. Ottawa seems to hog the channel anyhow so any fun for me will wait till next week's visit to Burnt River ON DX site. I'll aim a wire straight at Dearborn and see what I pull in! But I am curious - has anyone within WDTW's former shadow tried to mine 1310 for DX? Who knows how long this opportunity will last.

Re: [IRCA] India on 1071
Yes, I realize that India has been logged from NFD and the Queen Charlottes, but I wonder if anyone logged it from Grayland WA? Here in the NW, India is very rare. But the early 90s were amazing with logs from India (864), Bangladesh (558) and Nepal (792 & 576). These loggings were done with a EWE antenna, not a beverage. But Dxing on the OR coast as many years as I have (45+), I feel that the early 90s here were very unusual and being at the right place at the right time and using a top of the line receiver (Drake R8 at the time), with a good ECSS mode. Everything just came together. Oh course having a very low noise level makes all of the difference in the world too. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ 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

1575 and 1215 once again here with audio at 2050 UT. Hard to believe things could be better than last night, but a good start.

However 1575 is well above the rest and at audio producing levels much of the time. As other have noted, signals were quite good last night. 1215 as expected was very listenable much of the evening. An experienced 160 operator, VE5UA, who lives about 150 km NE of me said that 160m to Europe was about as good as he has ever experienced and he worked dozens of Europeans both last night and also some in the morning via short path. He has a 4 sq so can determine the direction. I made some spectrum recordings last night around 0400 ut that included 160 so will have to review those and see what else was noteworthy.

Re: [IRCA] India on 1071
Hi Patrick, If I recall, your 1992 logging of 864 Shillong (leading to your prized QSL) was in September, correct? It was less than a month after that I had a "what else could it be?" probable logging on 864 while on a solo DXpedition to Midway Beach (just a half mile south of Grayland). In the early 1990s I was heavily into tropical bands DXing and had become very familiar with All India Radio outlets on 60 meters. I remember that the signal I was hearing on 864, past local SR, sounded very much like Hindi or Urdu, and the music was a dead ringer for the subcontinental flutes & tabla I often heard on AIR stations on the 60 meter band. I never caught an ID, but I was encouraged by the music and language matching, and of course your catch a month earlier added fuel to the fire. The antenna on that trip would have been a short, ungrounded Beverage strung out over tall dune grass. 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA -- > Message: 6 > Date: Tue, 08 Jan 2013 18:23:15 GMT > From: Patrick Martin > To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America > > Subject: Re: [IRCA] India on 1071 > Message-ID: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > > Yes, I realize that India has been logged from NFD and the Queen > Charlottes, but I wonder if anyone logged it from Grayland WA?

They are running the Jones Radio Networks Classic Hits Satelitte Feed. JJ Mckay, Ted The Bear Richards and crew.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs/TAs for 8 Jan 2013
I had to head to work well before sunrise, but left things running when I left this morning. Given the TA reception of late, I left the antenna looking north rather than west. Not a lot of audio, but heard 2 signals on 1575, one quite good at times, and bits of audio on 1593, 1539, and 1422. I suspect some or all of these were most likely midddle east signals, as in previous years I've heard Farda on 1575 in the mornings several times.Peak audio was in the 1505-1515 period, a few minutes prior to local sunrise. 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

[IRCA] KFKA 1310 CO on day power? etc etc
KFKA 1310 is ripping up WIBA here in IL on my W/WNW antenna. I can get them in well during the best SSS cx, but nothing like this ever noted at night. I suspect that they didn't switch to night rig. Since building an endfire array of two Double KAZ Antennas, my DX has improved due mainly to more narrow beamwidth. I've recently pulled KYUL and even KLIX out from under WIBA at night, but never had KFKA close to this good. I have to also question the night pattern of KRPI 1550 WA and whether KRKE 1550 NM is dropping all the way down to 27w as both are showing up at night now often mixing with pesty KYAL. KRPI is not an uncommon SSS visitor and I often hear them switch pattern and drop out. KRPI only has a small back lobe this way at night. 1480 is often dominated by KRAE WY which is new for me this season. Are they using 72w night power? 1440 KRDZ is in about half the time o/u WROK/others. A frequent SSS visitor that previously dropped out when they'd switch and was rarely able to be heard here at night. After hundreds of times trying for KLFE 1590 from Seattle for more than a decade, I now have quite a few Freedom 1590 slogans and full ID's recorded. 1680 is interesting at night as KNTS from Seattle now often dominates over IA TIS's with KRJO the 3rd station on the channel. Little KGED from Fresno is noted once they switch power and nothing at all from east of me ever noted. 1690 has Disney atop KFSG much of the time although now KFSG can dominate even with 1 kw. Semi-local WVON is a distant 3rd and if I want to hear Greek mx from Toronto dominate I have to switch to the truck radio. I caught a new one tonight on 1550 with a La Missionera slogan at 1900 CST with KYAL in a lull. This is KXEX from Fresno and still on day power as was KGED 1680 also noted. I've been noted some SS rlg there and finally IDed it. No trace of CBEF or WDLR ever noted unless I use the truck rx and its omni whip. I logged KCLK 1430 from WA during Halloween's super SSS cx with ID on the hour and then gone as switched, but with the array I've noted a couple weak ID's from them. Once again, I've seen no reports of them running day power at night. Hopefully some detailed listening to Perseus recordings yield some more from tonight as cx were decent. 73 KAZ Barrington IL..Perseus and 2 element endfire Double KAZ array at 285 deg. ___ 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 TAs
I'm hearing guitar strumming on 963 right now at 03:56 UTC. Still, not up to par with yesterday, but reasonably impressive nonetheless!

Re: [IRCA] India on 1071
Guy, I always get more excited when I see an outstanding catch from someone's backyard. I know many catches would never be logged here, but the OR/WA coasts have pulled in a lot of very rare catches. I think I remember, now that you mentioned it, your tentative logging of 864 on the WA Coast. I could not remember if India was logged by anyone else. To be honest, I did not really know for sure what my catch was, except maybe? India, until John Bryant played my tape to his students and one student from that area of NE India IDed the language and the station. But again, I think a lot of the DX was being at the right place at the right time. Except for a couple times in the late 90s when I also heard AIR 1566, I have not heard anymore Indians on MW here. Thanks for the reply. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ 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] 963 coming in very nicely!
Very nice reception of 963 at 06:02. Darn, but I missed the TOH for an ID. Singing by a female. Language unknown. Are we all certain that it is Finland? I see that it should be Radio 86 in Lithuanian. Style of the music, I suppose, matches. 1215 is also present, but really comes and goes. Presumably Absolute Radio. Otherwise, I'm not seeing any other MW TA activity at this late hour. 73,Walt Salmaniw, 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
