[IRCA] DISCUSSION OF DAILY SOLAR SPACE AND GEOMAGNETIC WEATHER
DISCUSSION OF DAILY SOLAR SPACE AND GEOMAGNETIC WEATHER- Solar activity is moderate as far as the emergence of the number of new sunspot groups. Currently there are 4 numbered and 7 new un-numbered sunspot groups. Solar activity is very low (0 solar flares) as far as the number of new solar flares and their magnitude. The largest solar flare in the past 24 hour period was a very small B2. Basically the background x-ray flux continues flat lined in the B range. The daily sunspot number (SSN) has languished below 100 or higher for 11 consecutive days, currently at 55. The geomagnetic field had been quiet for 3 consecutive days with the Kp (planetary) index in the 0-2 range. However due to a geo-effective (earth facing) coronal hole the geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to disturbed (Kp-3-4) levels. The following are the 24 hour 3 hour Kp (planetary) intervals 4244. The Dst ranged between -53 and -12.

Re: [IRCA] XEUR and XEMCA on 1090
I think some list must have the calls mixed up. XEUR has been on 1530 in Mexico
for as long as I can remember. The station on 1090 from Monterrey // 103.7 FM
is XEAU. They tend to be the ones with lots of talk in the evenings and seem to
be the dominant Mexican for me here in NE IL. I've also had XEMCA this season.
Here's a good list of Mexicans. http://mexicoradiotv.com/frec_am_0800-1090.htm
My current main antenna doesn't favor Mexicans since it aims 285 degrees and
has a beamwidth of no more than 80 degrees. Of course it can get things from
outside that beamwidth, but they tend to be reduced by at least several dB.
Westerly and border area Mexicans come in OK, but those aren't outside the main
beam. XEPRS has been heard weakly a couple of times. Tim Tromp from MI (Phased
BOGs aim well for this area) has a nice recording of them on YouTube). It seems
the ID slogan is The Mighty 1090 and they are also ESPN..noting 1700 is ESPN,
but I'd let a So. Cal DXer confirm at that. KVOP is also possible and may use
the same slogan, so be careful.
Also on 1090, Colorado can come in hear on weak night power. "Maria Siempre
Romantica" slogans with romantic SS mx. They are trivially easy via sunset
skip. KBOZ and KFNQ can come in via sunset skip (wait til early Feb for much
later switch times) and also can be noted weakly at night in good WNW cx poking
thru the SSers.
Anyhow, this is the nighttime situation on 1090 here using a W/WNW antenna. 73

[IRCA] TP 27 Jan; Victoria version
At several checks after 1400UT this morning, things were fairly abysmal. Then, a quick (10 minutes?) sunrise boost started around 1530UT,bringing several upper band stations to at least some audio traces. But the bottom dropped out at 1540UT; one minute I was listening to the first bars of the Japanese anthem on 1602, the next, even 1566 had gone. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): too much to hope for reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1566 HLAZ man in CC 1536UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1593 CNR1 man and woman in CC //6125 1538UT 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) : 1278 man talking, maybe CC cadence??? and no 1287 didn't appear at all this morning 1602 NHK2 light mx, then man talking 1537UT; first bars of JJ anthem at 1540, then the bottom dropped out Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1242 1296 1323 1404 (quite strong, but still no audio) 1503 best wishes, Nick ___ 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] XEUR and XEMCA on 1090
Actually, that's my error, and thank you, Neil, for pointing that out. I even
wrote down XEAU in my logbook and still sent the message here with the XEUR
calls! :)
One new logging since then, that being this morning in the form of KRFS-1600 in
Superior, Nebraska. Rarely heard here, despite the close proximity. U.S.
logging #702 and #793 overall in the logbook here.

[IRCA] Question for UK or International DXers
Hello To All, This evening on 1026 khz amongst the signals of Iran and Spain, another station which was in English sounding like BBC popped up from the mix with a male announcer played a song ( unknown in English) then mentioned Jersey a couple of times, however no BBC ID heard. It was only in for a short time around 19:45 UTC today. It soon vanished with the Iran & Spanish stations becoming even stronger. Is BBC Radio Jersey still operating on AM 1026 currently ? European Medium Wave Guide is still listing it, and only at 1000 watts. I know this isn't a lot of info to help and I'll likely have to try and listen for it in the coming days once again. Any help would be appreciated Allen Willie Bristol's Hope, Newfoundland ___ 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] Monster TP Signals in a Lean Solar Year
Hello All, Although the recent TP-DX season has generally featured weaker signals (and less exotic DX) than the exciting years of 2009 and 2010, there were some interesting exceptions. Four Asiatic mainland TP's managed their best signals ever here in Puyallup recently, including 1566-HLAZ only three days ago. Two other Korean big guns (972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer) routinely pegged the S/N display on the PL-380 Ultralight in early October; in fact, 972-HLCA's monster signal on October 5th was the strongest TP signal ever received here in 6 years of DXing. The other Asiatic TP reaching its best-ever signal level this season was 603-China (presumed Hulun Buir), which has apparently has had some type of antenna upgrade to enable it to dominate the frequency here recently. On the other hand, the Japanese NHK stations were real underperformers here this past season, with none of them even coming close to their optimal signal levels. For those interested, MP3 recording links for these best-ever TP signals are pasted below. They were all received with hot-rodded (7.5" loopstick) Ultralight radios and an 8" FSL antenna. With the exception of 603-China, all of them easily pegged the Ultralight radio signal strength displays. 603 China (Presumed Hulun Buir) Female conversation and vocal music at 1313 UTC on September 15, 2012 http://www.mediafire.com/?9w7h4ycoodlv0ga 972 HLCA Dangjin, S.
