Re: [IRCA] TP 4 Nov, Victoria version
Nick, Thanks for posting the fine recording of 603-HLSA's 3 + 1 pips TOH routine from 1500 yesterday morning. Apparently the KBS2 1500 TOH routine is different than the 1400 TOH routine, which doesn't have the long gap between the three short and one long pip. This 1400 TOH recording was made on 603-HLSA at 1400 on October 6, which simply has the ID, no-gap time pips and some music immediately afterward. Apparently KBS figures that local midnight in Korea (UTC + 9) is more deserving of special time pips, as contained in your 1500 TOH recording :-) http://www.mediafire.com/listen/e1baxipfyocecs9/603-HLSA-1400z100613PL380.MP3 Also, 648-VOR was received here with a fair signal yesterday morning, but with some noise on the frequency (as is usual here, on 648). It's tough to make any definite language identification, but after listening to the recording a few more times, it does seem more likely to be heavily accented English than Korean. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) -Original Message- From: Nick Hall-Patch To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Sent: Mon, Nov 4, 2013 9:59 pm Subject: [IRCA] TP 4 Nov, Victoria version This wasn't as deep a morning as yesterday, some Chinese, but certainly not those that hadn't been heard before, and the upper band was dead.

Re: [IRCA] Alberta TP/DU for 4 Nov 2013
Hi Nigel, <<< At the low end though things were more interesting, though those Chinese still seem unable to get over the Rockies. >>> Actually those Chinese signals don't seem to get into some west coast locations very well either, Nigel. For some unusual reason this location has always seemed to favor Chinese and Korean signals, at the expense of Japanese ones. The other side of the coin is that Dennis, Bruce, Nick and Walt can receive many more Japanese stations than I can, and even in Alberta you have reported the reception of several exotic Japanese stations that have never managed a trace here. I guess the moral of the story is to be thankful for whatever Asian propagation you have? 73, Gary -Original Message- From: Nigel Pimblett To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Sent: Mon, Nov 4, 2013 9:07 pm Subject: [IRCA] Alberta TP/DU for 4 Nov 2013 I'd agree with Gary that this morning was a low-band morning, as the only audio I heard above 1000 khz was from the 1556 Korea and 1575 VOA powerhouses, neither of which sounded that impressive today. At the low end though things were more interesting, though those Chinese still seem unable to get over the Rockies. The usual Japanese big guns on 567, 594, 693, 747, 774, 828 were all doing very well today, along with the Korean on 972. Also from Japan 531 JOQG from Morioka made its first appearance of the season, as did JOIP on 639. (It amazes me that Gary could have the kind of CNR audio he posted, while the same morning I was hearing Japan with absolutely no trace of China) The NHK outlets on 702 and 729 also put in appearances. Several other frequencies had audio in the "barely there" class, and were too weak to identify. They included 558, 675, 738, and 846.

Paul both 690 & 1610 have been logged many times in the USA - mostly back in the 1980's although 1610 has been heard in the past couple of years. Their towers were destroyed or at least severely damaged by a hurricane about 10 years ago. 1610 then came back on after an extended period of silence but was not nearly as strong as before. I believe 690 has been silent for several years.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] The Caribbean Beacon
In June, 1995, while vacationing in Waimanalo, Oahu, Hawaii, I heard the 1610 one evening while sitting on the beach. That's a distance of over 6000 miles. This was using a simple Sony portable barefoot! 1610 used to be a regular all across North America but I believe they operate on reduced power now. As for the 690, it was never as widely reported due largely to CBF and other stations. If I were to guess, I would say the strategy was that 690 offered better groundwave coverage, important in the daytime, whereas 1610 offered better skywave at night.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-5
Hello All, It was another morning of potent low-band TP propagation here, with vibrant signals from both the big gun and second-tier Asians. Once again there was a definite surge of the Mainland Asian signals on 603 (HLSA), 639, 648 and 657 late in the session, along with a mix of HLKG and BEL2 on 738 kHz. This morning's low-band surge wasn't quite up to the standard of yesterday's (or especially Sunday's), but it still made things very interesting from 1415-1450. Even 675 kHz managed a fair signal around 1445 (after Dennis' report of VOV yesterday), but there was just too much domestic splatter on both 670 and 680 to get any identity clues other than an Asiatic language. The low-band Japanese big guns were especially strong today, with both 594-JOAK and 747-JOIB hitting their seasonal bests around 1435 during the late-session surge. The Japanese on 693, 774 and 828 were also very vibrant, along with the Korean powerhouse 972-HLCA. With the exception of the Chinese CRI stations on 1017 and 1044 (both good at times around 1405), the middle band seemed kind of depressed, with the 1053-Jammer and 1134-KBS down from their usual strength. Like yesterday, the high band seemed to have been left out of the propagation scheme, with only 1566-HLAZ managing any decent audio here (fair to good around 1335). Overall it was another interesting morning, although a little more propagation would have been welcome on frequencies like 675 :-) 603 HLSA Namyang, S.

[IRCA] 1710 unid
Heard on the car radio 11/4 in various places between 1555 and 1620 with female vocals, apparently in EE. At one point it sounded like pop, another time oldies. Seemed to be the same station though, and not a local pirate, given the fade patterns. Anyone else heard anything like this ?

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] unIDs (580 country and others)
So we're down to NC and TN ... interesting. Thanks! I've added three new AM stations tonight going through clips from earlier this year: 1090 WKTE NC King (heard oldies much of last spring, was never able to hear an ID in real-time, but yielded solid IDs on two audio clips. 1280 WMCP TN Columbia (this one was unexpected). 1050 WTKA MI Ann Arbor (I could drive there for lunch but it's been on my most-wanted list for a long time). Plus a few notable relogs (540 WFLF FL, 1560 WAGL SC...) It really pays to put unID clips aside for a long time and then listen later on with fresh ears...

[IRCA] Alberta TP/DU for 5 Nov 2013
It was tough to pin a tag on this morning's reception. I listned from 1322 to 1415, and in some ways it was down on yesterday, but in others it was better. Japan was mostly limited to the more regular catches today, with 567,594, 693, 747, 774, 828, and 873 all doing well at times (and in the case of 774 and 828 for the entire session). NHK on 702 was in again, though not until 1411, and 1422 JORF reached audio, which it did not yesterday. Also unlike yesterday, a couple of Chinese made the trip over the mountains, with CRI on 1044 at fair levels at various times between 1322 and 1410, and traces of audio from the off-freq Chinese on 1206. 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] TP 5 Nov, Victoria version
Nothing like the last couple of days, especially compared with Gary's observations/recordings. The best I can say is that HLCA hung in there, e.g., 1550UT, 40+ minutes after sunrise: http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/972_20131105_1550.wav quite listenable. Still there for pips etc. by 1600UT, but getting ragged. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 279 R. Rossii 1404UT, woman in RR. 747 JOIB probably benefiting from lower splatter: s/off anthem 1540UT 774 JOUB 1430UT EE lessons 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 and woman in JJ 1432UT, first appearance even this strong this morning. 639 CNR1 man in CC 1415UT man and woman in CC //6030, 1419UT, 640 mostly just a het from 639 by now. 972 HLCA quiet vocal mx, subcontracting from HLSA apparently, 603. In beyond 1600UT (see above). though not this strong 1566 HLAZ man in JJ 1301UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 567 JOIK man in JJ 1425UT 738 Tahiti likely, woman in FF 1424UT 828 JOBB EE lessons 1417UT 1017 CRI woman in KK 1404UT; chimes and fanfare a few minutes earlier, but weaker. 1053 jamming on 1401UT 1566 HLAZ man in CC 1452UT 1575 VoA man in SE Asian language 1459UT, then EE man "you're listening to the Voice of America" 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 HLQH quiet ballad 1420UT, no 603 603 HLSA presumed soft mx 1430UT, but couldn't snag //558 just then 702 NHK2 womab talking //774 1449UT 864 unID quiet femal vaocal mx 1436UT, strong carrier 1287 JOHR man talking, very poor 1602UT 1323 CRI stringed mx building to crescendo to chimes and fanfare at 1300UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):648 621 657 756 819 846 855 891 945 1098 1251 1593 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
