>>>

Well, this morning I gave a final check at 1500UT, but even the big guns like 
774-JOUB and 972-HLCA were already inaudible down in the noise. It felt lucky 
to even have them around until 1450 (especially after this miserable week), so 
I'm not complaining.

Anyway, the evidence would strongly indicate that this mediocre location 
(surrounded by hills to the north, east and south, and the Olympic mountains to 
the west) is responsible for the watered-down sunrise enhancements, and not the 
FSL antenna's DX arrival angle. The same lackluster sunrise enhancement was 
observed with the 9' air core box loops used here from 2009-2010. I was amazed 
at how you and Nick would hear the NHK2 sign off chimes almost every day around 
December during those years, when I never even knew what they were :-)  In 
fact, I never even heard the NHK2 sign off chimes until I made an ill-advised 
DXpedition to the Rockwork 4 ocean cliff last November (during a vicious 
windstorm).

I don't know Gary.   What salt water is nearby might help a bit for 
New Zealand, and maybe Australia, but the path from Asia is over the 
rocky spine of Vancouver Island, hence you and Bruce hearing Chinese 
that I rarely hear.   I suspect that this morning's good (and 
fleeting) signals might have been due to an anomalous high angle of 
arrival, which would be less affected by our local rockpile.

How late did you listen today?   I'm curious as to whether maybe the

Thanks for posting your 972-HLCA recording from this morning-- and 
it's certainly an impressive signal on your FLG100.


Your location near salt water seems to make a big difference in the 
duration of sunrise enhancement on mornings like these, and I'm 
always amazed at how long the big gun TP's can keep their signals 
going for you and Walt (and also for Dennis, in Kalama). Here in 
Puyallup there is a very watered-down version of sunrise 
enhancement, with all the Asians biting the dust about an hour earlier.

Gary's already checked in, and yes, it was a better morning, plus
lots of unID carriers, and lasted a long time too.  Snippets of audio
up until 1545UT or so.  But conditions were still up and down, not
being able to find a parallel for 828 a half hour before local
sunrise isn't ideal.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker,
at least briefly):

(not fair; synchronous demodulation, FLG100 antenna)Still pretty
fair at times around 1530UT (local sunrise about 45 minutes earlier).


Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


567 JOIK man in JJ 1420UT, no 594 for parallel right now
594 JOAK man and woman in JJ 1355UT
828 JOBB man in JJ 1416UT, with no parallels available.  Still no

1566 HLAZ woman then man in CC 1356UT
1575 VoA man and woman SE Asian language 1439UT


not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or
noise could be understood by a native speaker:

747 JOIB man in JJ 1401UT //774
945 CNR1 man in CC 1425UT slightly offset from 6030// making a

1017 CRI male vocal //5965 1428UT; apparently still there 1539UT w/KK
sounding talk by man, but very weak
1287 JOHR man and woman in JJ 1414UT

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) :

558 unID man talking quietly, more a KK sound? 1423UT; never got 603 in audio
855 unID man talking and hum 1405UT, but no SW parallels available
(too much noise)
873 JOGB likely 1320UT, with woman talking...easy to imagine she said
"JOGB" just at 1320, but too weak to be sure. //747 a couple of
minutes later, but tough listening.
981 CNR1  little news sounder? coming through //945 1431UT, but 945
seemed to have news after low and high pip on the half hour
1206 Yanbian? man talking, KK inflection, off channel 1347UT
1242 JOLF? rock mx 1402UT, only caught last pip on hour, and too weak
to tell if it had the "cuckoo" sound


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or
ravaged by splatter):

Thanks for posting your 972-HLCA recording from this morning-- and it's 
certainly an impressive signal on your FLG100. 

Your location near salt water seems to make a big difference in the duration of 
sunrise enhancement on mornings like these, and I'm always amazed at how long 
the big gun TP's can keep their signals going for you and Walt (and also for 
Dennis, in Kalama). Here in Puyallup there is a very watered-down version of 
sunrise enhancement, with all the Asians biting the dust about an hour earlier.

Gary's already checked in, and yes, it was a better morning, plus 
lots of unID carriers, and lasted a long time too.  Snippets of audio 
up until 1545UT or so.  But conditions were still up and down, not 
being able to find a parallel for 828 a half hour before local 
sunrise isn't ideal.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):

774 JOUB man in JJ 1352UT
972 HLCA caught a similar time to Gary's recording,  almost operatic 
vocal ballad 1357UT; but the kicker was 1424UT man and woman talking 
then KK male ballad, mashing the splatter into 
oblivion: 
http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/HLCA_20131019_1424.wav 
(not fair; synchronous demodulation, FLG100 antenna)Still pretty 
fair at times around 1530UT (local sunrise about 45 minutes earlier).


Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


567 JOIK man in JJ 1420UT, no 594 for parallel right now
594 JOAK man and woman in JJ 1355UT
828 JOBB man in JJ 1416UT, with no parallels available.  Still no 
parallels at 1532UT with similar strength, woman in JJ, but soon faded.
963 CRI female vocal ballad 1426UT, then woman talking //1323
1053 KK jammer 1323UT
1323 CRI female ballad 1437UT //963; still weakly ballading at 1530UT
1566 HLAZ woman then man in CC 1356UT
1575 VoA man and woman SE Asian language 1439UT


not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:

747 JOIB man in JJ 1401UT //774
945 CNR1 man in CC 1425UT slightly offset from 6030// making a 
strange echo; actually slightly better strength at 1430UT upon 
playing back the recording.
1017 CRI male vocal //5965 1428UT; apparently still there 1539UT w/KK 
sounding talk by man, but very weak
1287 JOHR man and woman in JJ 1414UT

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) :

558 unID man talking quietly, more a KK sound? 1423UT; never got 603 in audio
855 unID man talking and hum 1405UT, but no SW parallels available 
(too much noise)
873 JOGB likely 1320UT, with woman talking...easy to imagine she said 
"JOGB" just at 1320, but too weak to be sure. //747 a couple of 
minutes later, but tough listening.
981 CNR1  little news sounder? coming through //945 1431UT, but 945 
seemed to have news after low and high pip on the half hour
1206 Yanbian? man talking, KK inflection, off channel 1347UT
1242 JOLF? rock mx 1402UT, only caught last pip on hour, and too weak 
to tell if it had the "cuckoo" sound


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter):

603 621 648 711 756 837  864 918 936 1035 1044 1134 1278 1476

[IRCA] October 19 TP Report - Grayland version

2013-10-19 Thread Mark Connelly
East Coast version is with autumn / winter pre-sunset TA's: major 
blasters such as Saudi Arabia 1521 in at 1 to 2 p.m. when sunset is 4 
to 5 p.m. EST.  Not uncommon at east-facing sites here on Cape Cod.


In Newfoundland, Norway 1314 (now gone) was 'round the clock on 
November DXpeditions a few years back.


From Nova Scotia, VE1ZZ routinely works across "the pond" at high noon 
local time on 160-meter CW from this time of year onward till Feb./Mar.

<<
The party finally ended rather quickly around 1625
when many signals took their respective nosedives, but a few like 1566
and 1575 held on until 1700 or so.   The final holdout, as near as I 
can

tell, was the Korean on 972 which was still producing weak audio at
1730.  Just for grins, we checked the dial for TPs at noon but couldn't
find any.

[IRCA] Alberta TP/DU for 19 Oct 2013

2013-10-19 Thread Nigel Pimblett
As others have noted, an improvement this morning, though it was much less
dramatic here in Alberta than on the coast. I'm currently listening from
Don Moman's location near Lamont (about 270 miles NNW from my home
location), but thanks to the miracles of technology I was able to listen
from both locations this morning.
Not a lot of audio (but I'm not complaining after the last while):

774 - Japan, reaching audio at 1341 in Dunmore, and 1352 in Lamont, with
fair levels.
828 - traces of audio from presumed Japan in Dunmore only (freq is buried
under 830 splash in Lamont)
972 - Korea, audio at 1359 in Lamont, but didn't reach audio in Dunmore
1566 - Korea, fair audio from 1335 in Lamont, but only traces in Dunmore
1575 - quite consistent with fair audio in Dunmore, but never reached audio
in Lamont.

It was interesting to be able to compare sites, but hopefully I'll have the
chance to do so when a few more signals are coming in.

Re: [IRCA] October 19 TP Report - Grayland version

2013-10-19 Thread d1028gary

Hi Bruce (and Chuck and Tom),

Thanks for the detailed report from Grayland this morning, and I'm happy that 
you guys enjoyed the greatly improved TP conditions for your first day.

The Chinese were also coming out of the woodwork here from 1415-1450, although 
at a much weaker level. It was surprising how many of them were showing up, 
both on the CRI and Chinese domestic frequencies. Unfortunately the signal 
levels generally weren't energetic enough to get past the domestic splatter in 
this inland location. 

73, Gary

Chuck, Tom, and I are having our annual Beverage expedition to Grayland 
this weekend.

The good conditions reported by Nick, Gary and Dennis were similar to 
ours, though on a vastly different scale.

Most 9 kHz channels were occupied by good signals here, and many had 2-3 
TPs on them.   For example,  I had AFN and at least one other station 
behind VOA-1575, and a mix of Japan/China/Korea on 891.

Chinese stations were everywhere, and at times overpowered the Korean 
and Japanese regulars on freqs like 1179 1422 1305 and 1503. Powerhouses 
like 774 and 972 were also getting buzzed by Chinese stations.   I had 
two Chinese stations on 945 at times: CNR1 and an echoey second one, 
possibly the Heilongjiang Farm Network.  There were unusually strong 
Chinese signals on 765 782 and 882 as well.

One of the highlights was hearing CNR11-1098 in quite well with Tibetan 
//7350SW, sounding every bit like its listed 1.2MW.

The DX stayed late here too.  At 1620, there was still something on 
every 9kHz split except for 531 549 576 585 and 693.  A couple of 
stations, such as China 1377 and HLAM-1386, had their best signals 
during this period.  The party finally ended rather quickly around 1625

tell, was the Korean on 972 which was still producing weak audio at 
1730.  Just for grins, we checked the dial for TPs at noon but couldn't 
find any.

All in all, this was a better than average morning at Grayland. It'll 
take quite some time for us to wade through our SDR files. I'm looking 
forward to tomorrow's logs.

Bruce

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Modem Noise update

Have you tried those ferrite doughnuts you clamp around any cables coming into 
or out of the interference generating device? I think they call them RF chokes. 
I ordered a small bag of them from one of the online electronics dealers, put 
them on every device I could think of in my house, including all the cables to 
and from my Ten-Tec RX-321 computer-controlled HF receiver, and the QRN went 
down significantly (but not completely). Well worth the small amount of money 
and time. Good luck!

when many signals took their respective nosedives, but a few like 1566 
and 1575 held on until 1700 or so.   The final holdout, as near as I can 
tell, was the Korean on 972 which was still producing weak audio at 
1730.  Just for grins, we checked the dial for TPs at noon but couldn't 
find any.


All in all, this was a better than average morning at Grayland. It'll 
take quite some time for us to wade through our SDR files. I'm looking 
forward to tomorrow's logs.

[IRCA] TP for 19 Oct 2013 from Victoria: Not too shabby

2013-10-19 Thread Walter Salmaniw
As others have posted, reception wasn't too shabby this morning, in
Victoria, BC.  What was most impressive, was the staying power of several
stations well past 8:00 AM local, including VOA on 1575 and 972 HLCA.  I
didn't think the first tier JJ stations were particularly strong this
morning.  It was nice to hear a lot of audio, and not just from the lower
half of the band.  SF was a surprising 140, A (12:00) 3, and K of 1.  I'll
adopt a similar rating scale to Nick and Bruce to make comparisons more
simple:

Pretty good audio:  VOA Thailand 1575 at 14:12, and still pretty good at
14:40,
774:  JOUB, the best of the JJ NHK2 stations, although 828 JOBB was pretty
decent too.
594:  JOAK
567:  JOIK
890 (not TP, but interesting):  CJDC Dawson Creek, BC with ID at 14:00
"Just a stone's throw away from the Mile 0 marker"
930:  KTKN Ketchikan, pounding in.
945:  CNRI at 14:32
972:  HLCA:  really strong, and continuing well past 08:00 AM local
1287:  JOHR at 14:19
1323:  CRI in Russian at 14:11
1575:  VOA just kept going and going.

Not so reasonable audio:
558 with time pips at 14:00
747:  JOIB
891:  ?JOHK at 14:03
963:  CRI in Russian
1017:  CRI at 14:00, and better at 14:29
1566:  HLAZ

Burbles in the splatter:
819, 864, 936, 1269

73 to all!   Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC

[IRCA] TP 19 Oct, Victoria version

2013-10-19 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Gary's already checked in, and yes, it was a better morning, plus 
lots of unID carriers, and lasted a long time too.  Snippets of audio 
up until 1545UT or so.  But conditions were still up and down, not 
being able to find a parallel for 828 a half hour before local 
sunrise isn't ideal.


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


774 JOUB man in JJ 1352UT
972 HLCA caught a similar time to Gary's recording,  almost operatic 
vocal ballad 1357UT; but the kicker was 1424UT man and woman talking 
then KK male ballad, mashing the splatter into 
oblivion: 
http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/HLCA_20131019_1424.wav 
(not fair; synchronous demodulation, FLG100 antenna)Still pretty 
fair at times around 1530UT (local sunrise about 45 minutes earlier).



Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):



567 JOIK man in JJ 1420UT, no 594 for parallel right now
594 JOAK man and woman in JJ 1355UT
828 JOBB man in JJ 1416UT, with no parallels available.  Still no 
parallels at 1532UT with similar strength, woman in JJ, but soon faded.

963 CRI female vocal ballad 1426UT, then woman talking //1323
1053 KK jammer 1323UT
1323 CRI female ballad 1437UT //963; still weakly ballading at 1530UT
1566 HLAZ woman then man in CC 1356UT
1575 VoA man and woman SE Asian language 1439UT


not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


747 JOIB man in JJ 1401UT //774
945 CNR1 man in CC 1425UT slightly offset from 6030// making a 
strange echo; actually slightly better strength at 1430UT upon 
playing back the recording.
1017 CRI male vocal //5965 1428UT; apparently still there 1539UT w/KK 
sounding talk by man, but very weak

1287 JOHR man and woman in JJ 1414UT

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) :


558 unID man talking quietly, more a KK sound? 1423UT; never got 603 in audio
855 unID man talking and hum 1405UT, but no SW parallels available 
(too much noise)
873 JOGB likely 1320UT, with woman talking...easy to imagine she said 
"JOGB" just at 1320, but too weak to be sure. //747 a couple of 
minutes later, but tough listening.
981 CNR1  little news sounder? coming through //945 1431UT, but 945 
seemed to have news after low and high pip on the half hour

1206 Yanbian? man talking, KK inflection, off channel 1347UT
1242 JOLF? rock mx 1402UT, only caught last pip on hour, and too weak 
to tell if it had the "cuckoo" sound



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter):


603 621 648 711 756 837  864 918 936 1035 1044 1134 1278 1476



best wishes,

2013-10-19 Thread Marc DeLorenzo

You are welcome, Saul.  Bruce also reported it on the Facebook Group "DXing - 
Sponsored by the National Radio Club." This FB Group was started by Paul 
Swearingen a few months ago.  Yikes, we have so many different lists for 
reporting MWDX.  Diversity is great but I kind of wish we could all get on "the 
same page."  Anyway, I do recommend that Facebook group.  I'm quite sure it is 
open to everyone.

To me it sounded surprisingly more Parisian than Creole. That was my first 
impression when I heard the "Radio Diffusion" bit. Okay. Maybe I'm 
exaggerating. 
But a rather light Creole accent; I don't know what French sounds like In 
Guadeloupe et al...

Anyhow, I'm not surprised Bruce was able to get it. Thank you for reporting 
that.

It was surely not at night-time power. But cx were also very good to the south.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19

2013-10-19 Thread d1028gary






Hello All,
 
 
There must have been some happy DXers this morning as Asian signals improved 
quite a bit, with a generous sunrise enhancement that continued until 1450 
here. The NHK big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 were all very strong at 
times during the 1300-1450 listening session, along with the Koreans on 657, 
972, 1053 and 1566. As Dennis reported, 1575-VOA also managed good signals from 
1400-1430, and 1287-JOHR acted like a big gun for most of sunrise enhancement.
 
 
Although second-tier Asian audio was modest until around 1415 (with only fair 
audio from 603-HLSA and 738-BEL2 in and out) , a late rally from the Chinese 
mainland stations (and Russia) made the session pretty interesting from 1415 
until the end of sunrise enhancement (around 1450). Both 639-CNR1 and 648-VOR 
came up to good audio during this period, and 918, 927, 936, 981, 1017, 1035, 
1044 and 1323 all managed fair audio in and out of the noise late in the 
session. Best signal of the morning was from 972-HLCA, with its usual S/N 
pegging music around 1355. Although the session was a dramatic improvement over 
yesterday, low expectations after the recent miserable week probably made it 
seem better than it was in comparison with the rest of the season. Even so, 
it's great to have very strong Asian signals back-- even if they are from the 
usual big guns.

Re: [IRCA] 1030 WONQ FL - French - huge last night > ON

2013-10-19 Thread Chernos Saul
To me it sounded surprisingly more Parisian than Creole. That was my first 
impression when I heard the "Radio Diffusion" bit. Okay. Maybe I'm 
exaggerating. But a rather light Creole accent; I don't know what French sounds 
like In Guadeloupe et al...

Anyhow, I'm not surprised Bruce was able to get it. Thank you for reporting 
that.

It was surely not at night-time power. But cx were also very good to the south.

Bruce Conti had them last night also - in Nashua, NH - practically in the back 
yard of WBZ.  Bruce was able to sync the 1030 audio with WONQ's webstream.  
Zouk music and man in Creole.

That's new to my Toronto log and needed from Burnt River ON. It's been on my 
radar, thanks to DXers like Robert Ross who reported it awhile ago, also on a 
ULR, from London ON.
