[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on December 10
I've had worse mornings for TPs, but a handful of them made brief appearances. There was no sunrise enhancement at all, and most signals were heard an hour or two before sunrise. Good - Mostly understandable to a native speaker, even if only for a few measly seconds No way today Fair - Parts of it might've been understandable to a native speaker if they tried hard enough 981CNR1, various announcements in Chinese, at least one had music in the background 1151-1156 1575VOA, talk in SE Asian language 1354-1402, no break at TOH Poor - incoherent mumblings in the noise and splatter 747JOIB, faint talk 1220 774JOUB, pips and talk 1200, sounded like language lesson 972HLCA, weak conversation 1152 ___ 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] TP's for Friday, January 10, 2014
Dennis Other e-groups have been reporting the end of Radio Rossii LW/SW broadcasts, effective the night of January 8. So it looks like we won't hear Russian LW stations ever again :( At least some of the Rossii medium wave outlets are still on the air. Nice going on the 882 log.

[IRCA] New Loggings
Hi All: For the first time in I don't know how long I actually logged two new stations this evening; 1250 KYYS KS Kansas City on top w/nice "La X Superstation" slogan & Mexican music on top in WTMA null. I've wanted this one for a long time and wonder if I haven't been trying for them too late in the evening. Do they reduce power during critical hours? 1290 WZTI WI Greenfield well u/WHKY/WHIO & others but clear, "Milwaukee's oldies 1290," slogan at 1700. No calls heard but definitely two here playing oldies. Had a great signal out of WSSP-1250, so thought I'd try for this one & there they were. 73 David ___ 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 10 Jan, Victoria version
There may not have been a geomagnetic upset after all, but things certainly didn't sound that great this morning. A brief lift after 1600UT on 1575, but that was it for sunrise enhancement. The west Flag is still crippled, but none of the other antennas were showing much activity either. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): also MIA not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: even this was asking too much 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) : 738 man talking, FF inflection 1350UT 765 unID man mumbling 1527UT, not as good on the north Flag, but couldn't null it with the variable termination either. Even the old tuned box loop couldn't null this, so would guess it was high angle. 774 JOUB CC sounding bowed mx with the lively little bass line crept through 1345UT, usually hear this just before the hour after the CC lessons 1575 VoA? woman talking, only really audible on the north Flag 1601UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 882 1017 1314 1566 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
