[IRCA] DX
Patrick, Thanks for sharing your beverage logging's with us. If I remember right, you receive a TIS from back East? We have been having a herd of elk (around 19) grazing off and on our land below the house. I would have to lay down a bog or wire above 8' to clear the elk and deer. The longest bog I could manage would be about 700' and run North South. Would have to have about a 200' coax run to reach the end of the bog. Always enjoy your DX postings Patrick.

Re: [IRCA] DX
Dennis Thanks. I am always glad to share my stories. After 50+ years, there has been a lot of them. hi. I have the same thing here with elk. They have crashed through the barbed wire fencing and tore the fence and antenna up. Infact when I put back the 70' of fencing the park took out to fix the drain field, the neighbors told me that elk were coming into their yards and tearig up their plants. Putting back the fencing seemed to have stopped that. Yes, I have several 10 watt TIS stations heard and verified from the East. It was great before the X Band stations took over. I even have a lot of 100-500 watt Australians and seven 50 watt Lighthouse stations from Japan and a 1 KWer from Taiwan on 1700. The US TIS stations were in VA, NY, PA, MI, IL,and TX. If the frequency is fairly clear, I never know what might pop in. 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] DX Tip for WDXR (KCMN)
1530KCMNCO, Colorado Springs, fair to good on top of KFBK at times with Oldies and I-25 IDs, weather reports for Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Must have been on day power (15 KW ND) with the signal. Listed as 15 watts at night, at 0230 EDT 4/5. or some reason I have no record of logging this in the past. This in new for me.

[IRCA] TP 5 Apr; Victoria version
Still mostly Asiatic, Japanese mostly, though a couple of DUs observed, earlier rather than later. Tuned in at 1319UT (though was recording from 1300UT), and moments later 774 delivered a nice JOUB NHK...dai-ni hoso ID by a man at good level. Nothing earth shattering heard (hmm, 1188 isn't common I guess), though an intriguing jammer (I think) on 1323kHz at around 1320UT, and some reasonable signal strengths at times. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB at various times in addition to the ID noted above 1566 HLAZ woman in JJ 1340UT, FEBC mention reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK man in JJ 1323UT and 1338UT among others 828 JOBB EE lessons 1321UT 972 HLCA man and man in KK 1321UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 702 2BL. Forced hilarity, and a couple of EE words made me think NHK2 EE lessons, but not //. Listened to recording, and ABC mention at 1300UT, with six pips and nx fanfare. 891 JOHK man in JJ //594 1323UT, 1344UT alsopretty much last man standing at this time 1053 KK jammer 1324 1287 JOHR man in JJ 1322, 1331 UT 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) : 576 2RN man talking slowly //846 1313UT 738 Tahiti, man and woman talking, FF inflection 1324UT 747 JOIB man and woman talking //774 846 2RN man talking slowly //576 at 1313UT 873 JOGB weather reports //774 1310UT 954 JOKR? man talking JJ inflection 1345UT 1188 JOKP woman in JJ //594 at 1335UT; nice surprise 1242 JOLF? woman talking JJ inflection, 1322UT 1323 unID weak talk, still a slightly FF flavor 1319UT; interesting was the burbling noise that faded up and obliterated it, then faded down again after 1321UT. If local interference, was specific to this channel, and with the fade, I'm guessing a jammer? Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 567 612 909 1269 1314 1422 1476 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

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 4-5
Hello All, Once again there were major differences in Asian propagation this morning between this location and Victoria (and Kalama). It was another Korean-slanted session here, although without yesterday's eastern Chinese visitors (738-Taiwan and 936-Anhui). During the short (1315-1335) listening session TP audio was received from 594-JOAK (fair), 747-JOIB (fair), 972-HLCA (good), the 1053-Jammer (good), 1134-KBS (good), 1287-JOHK (fair), 1503-JOUK (poor), 1566-HLAZ (very good) and 1575-VOA (fair). Best signal of the session was from 1566-HLAZ at 1323, which featured strong Japanese speech during the FEBC Christian program. 1566 HLAZ Jeju, S. Korea Very good Japanese OM speech (during short Christian sermon) http://www.mediafire.com/?gm3750lile1ay3k 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) C.Crane SWP 7.5 Slider loopstick Ultralight + 12 Medium Wave DXpedition FSL 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

[IRCA] 1215 again
A better strength carrier tonight on 1215 at 0500UT, still a long way from audio, but quite a bit stronger than it was even 20 minutes ago. A barely audible carrier on 855, and one on 1089 occasionally as well. 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
