Re: [IRCA] 1710 yesterday heard in Scotland
Hi Ken, Hopefully you were recording last night. 1720 was active with a pirate that came on the frequency at 0250 UTC. The programming was Radio Free Whatever (likely relayed by pirate Undercover Radio). S5-S6 signal here, but all alone of course on this frequency. 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan On 01/31/2014 02:13 PM, Ken, Scotland wrote: The X band has been roaring its head off this last couple of days.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-2
Hello All, Asian signals rebounded quite nicely here this morning, with morning enhancement favoring the low band Asian mainland stations. Both 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang had Chinese co-channels mixing with them around 1510, as 657-China (Henan?) was heard here for the first time in over 2 years. My listening session started off around 1450, when both the low and high band had some vibrant Asian signals. 594-JOAK, 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang were fair to good on the low band, while 1566-HLAZ (very good) and 1575-VOA (good) were potent on the high band. Around 1500 sunrise enhancement started to kick in, which seemed to boost up the low band Asians, but make 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA fizzle out (along with a weak 1593-CNR1). 603-China (Hulun Buir?) showed up to pester fair-to-good HLSA around 1510, while 657-China did the same to a fair-level Pyongyang a few minutes later. 558-HLQH also came out of the noise // 603 to face the 560-KPQ splatter at a fair level. This strange sunrise enhancement propagation continued until about 1530 with only these 3 low band Asian frequencies showing much activity-- the high band Asians having all bailed out around 1515. Overall it was a pretty strange morning, and it will be interesting to find out what others heard. 603 HLSA Namyang, S.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 Feb 2014
Yesterday was almost totally dismal with TPs (only a weak HLAZ around 1300 preventing a shutout), and today could be described as 'not quite as dismal'. Certainly far better in terms of carriers, especially on the high end, but not much in terms of audio. Again had weak audio from HLAZ, and other than that only traces of audio on 1548, 1557, and 1593. It's been a good week for domestics though, with CFPL from London, ON on 980 heard back home and WTSN 1270 from NH logged here. 73, Nigel Pimblett currently in Lamont, AB ___ 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 DX for 2 Feb in Seattle
Kind of a crummy morning for TPs. At least it didn't turn out to be a predictor of Superbowl results. I'll skip the Ground Hog analogies. There was a humdrum enhancement at sunrise. No audio below about 1500. No carriers below 1400, except for a weak one on 774. No audio at all from any TPs until about 1430. I'm glad the SDR did the recording while I slept; I would have hated to get up early today. Good - A native speaker would have understood much of it 1566HLAZ, man in Chinese 1523 Fair - A native speaker would have recognized a few words here and there 1575VOA, Asian talk 1512 1593CNR1, Chinese talk 1523, had a really good signal but was getting pummeled pretty badly by KLFE. Sort of like Peyton Manning vs the Seahawks' defense. Poor - A native speaker would have understood nothing 1494Pop song 1524 1557Pop music 1453 Carriers - 774 1431 1422 1503 1584 1602 --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

[IRCA] WMVP 1000 Distortion on 990 and 1010
I am hearing distorted splash from WMVP 1000 in Chicago. It sounds almost identical to the Darth Vader sounding noise heard from WABH 1380 last week which was showing up on 1370USB and 1390LSB. The distortion is showing up around 990khz and 1010khz, intermittantly, perhaps once a minute or so - sometimes more often. It is not as intense as from WABH. First noticed this a few minutes ago. Will listen in again tomorrow moring to see if gets any worse.

[IRCA] TP 2Feb, Victoria version
Up from yesterday. Primary feature was a bottom band and a top band enhancement without much in between. Mostly done by 1530UT, though HLAZ hung in for a bit longer. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 603 HLSA male and female vocal mx 1526UT, ID'd various times by //558, best on west Flag 1566 HLAZ man in CC 1516UT, best on N. Flag as were 1575 and 1593 1593 CNR1 man in CC 1518UT then woman //6175 but slightly offset, becoming very loud by 1519UT, still doing well at 1530UT w/news Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1575 VoA likely, female vocal mx 1517UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 558 HLQH vocal mx //603 1515UT 567 JOIK man in JJ //594 that was weaker 1525UT 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) : 1377 CNR1 man talking //1593 1528UT 1494 unID woman talking, JJ inflection 1525UT Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 531 612 639 657 693 702 1098 1458 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
