Hi Nick,

   603 HLSA.  Mr. Presley inquiring whether I was lonesome tonight 
1334UT, announcer in KK reiterated the question in passable EE 
(http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/HLSA%2020140326_1334.wav); 
although subject to erratic fading, this was one of the better 
signals for the next 15 minutes.   

It's nice to know that HLSA's unusual signal yesterday morning made it to 
Victoria, also. Thanks for posting the MP3 of the Elvis song. Even if we might 
not be on the same DXing planet, at least yesterday morning we seemed to be 
in the same universe.

73, Gary

It was sunrise enhancement or nothing this morning.   Nothing lasted 
until 1325UT when the big gun Japanese poked their noses out, then a 
few more; HLSA was pretty good here also, though not quite at 
DeBockian levels,  and even its sidekick on 558 managed a few 
bars.   Things were done by 1350UT, although 774 was still delivering 
a bit of audio after 1400UT.

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

actually, nobody.   It wasn't that great an 
enhancement.   Actually,  HLSA was close by virtue of its wonderfully 
quiet channel.


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

774 JOUB. Woman in CC, man in JJ, 1349UT.
1566 HLAZ.  Woman and man in CC 1347UT.


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

567 JOIK. Woman and man in JJ //594, and at better level 1326UT
747 JOIB.  CC lessons // 774 1337UT, briefly at this level
828 JOBB.  CC lesssons //774 at 1349UT.




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 vocal mx //603 1343UT, rather brief fade up.
1116 unID.  Man talking briefly, maybe DU EE?  1226UT
1503 JOUK. Woman and man //594 1330UT

It's great to have you back in the TP chase (joining the rest of us diehards,

   Listening for TP signals this morning I was only able to hear 774 JOUB,

774-JOUB was about the same strength here this morning (it usually gets chopped 
up pretty badly by 770-Seattle splatter, at this location). 603-HLSA had the 
best signal among the Asians here, but it wasn't nearly as energetic as 
yesterday.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-27

2014-03-27 Thread d1028gary


Hello All,
 
The Asians this morning weren't very energetic, but a moderate sunrise 
enhancement boost raised up a fairly good variety of low band Asian mainland 
stations around 1330. 603-HLSA was again the star of the morning here, although 
it never managed a monster signal like yesterday.
 
The session started off at 1310 with 594-JOAK (fair), 603-HLSA (poor), 693-JOAB 
(fair), 738-BEL2 (poor), 774-JOUB (fair) and 1566-HLAZ (fair to good) already 
in audio. Increasing daylight around 1330 also boosted several other low band 
Asians up to a fair level in and out, including 558-HLQH, 648-VOR and 
657-Pyongyang. Unfortunately that was about as good as it got for those 
stations, which slid slowly down into the noise around 1335. Yesterday's star 
performer 603-HLSA stuck around at the best level of all the Asians this 
morning, managing fair audio during peaks from 1325-1345. The high band sounded 
pretty dreary, with only 1566-HLAZ able to produce very brief good audio around 
1330 (the other high band regulars 1503-JOUK, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 had 
ghostly signals at best). Unlike yesterday 603-HLSA had anemic signals for most 
of the morning, although it did once again avoid any Chinese competition from 
the presumed Hulun Buir station. Best signal of a rather lackluster m!
 orning was from the usual overachiever 603-HLSA at 1343, with Korean pop music 
reaching a fair level.

Gary:

I listened on 603 kHz at sunrise hearing nothing
other than QRM from 600 WMT. Both 972 and 1566 were
silent this morning.

This time of year, JOUB's signal tends to fade out
before local sunrise, so there is no enhancement.

KAAM, The Metroplex TX (Garland), a.k.a. Legends 77.

** U S A. 1120, March 23 at 0121 UT, Mexican music vs KMOX; the music loops

(Austin market), rather than KEOR Catoosa OK (Tulsa market), daytimer which 
ought to be off now. But then a stronger open carrier comes on atop KTXW, 
making SAH of about 4.5 Hz in KMOX null, and this appears to emanate from KEOR 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1330, March 22 for the DX test from KCKM, Monahans TX: I expect to 
hear it easily as I do when on 12 kW non-direxional day pattern around sunrise. 
0500 UT ID as ``the west Texas powerhouse, KCKM``, sung ID and some music, 
nothing about a DX test yet. It`s already atop my nearest, KNSS Wichita, whose 
ID I hear at 0503 UT; then at 0504 UT sweep tones start from KCKM. I monitor 
and record the entire semihour, as KCKM remains atop with only a few brief 
fades. 

Consists of alternating sweep tones, always from low pitch to high, busy 
signals [rather: ``phone off the hook`` as Rick Dau mentioned], fire-alarm 
siren  bells; Morse code IDs and other brief DX messages I am yet to copy in 
detail until I recheck the digital recording; ``on the radio`` jingles; musical 
piece apparently a TV theme I don`t quite recognize. I logged the repeated 
times for all these to the minute; there were *no* voice IDs during the test; 
why not? As the DX test started late, it also ended a bit late, 0533 UT back to 
another voice ID like at 0500 UT and power drops as music resumes with ``West 
Virginia``. 

Tnx to Bob Souza for running this test, after offering to do so in an 
unsolicited email I received after logging it last April, and then arranged by 
Paul Walker, who also supplied the test content. I understand it got out very 
well across the continent and even to Europe. KCKM did not have a QSL card last 
year, so I will be reporting for one offered now.

Turning on the radio again at 1320 UT March 22, still tuned to 1330, there`s 
KCKM atop on regular schedule, discussion of when hereford cattle were 
introduced to Albany, Shackelford County, which is not around Monahans but 
northeast of Abilene; then about Robert E Lee at some camp around the Civil 
War. Program is `Cowboy Corner`, probably syndicated; plug for Western Heritage 
Awards, April 12 at the Cowboy Museum in OKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

Hi Bob, Many tnx for running the DX test, which I gather has been quite 
successful. I`m glad that our contact eventually led to it. Also, I wonder if 
you have started C-QUAM stereo as you said you planned to last year. And could 
you clarify whether the antenna is 5/8 or halfwave?

 Apparently the pipeline to the KBS2 station has something to do with
 this particular location, maybe related to the rich valley soil? During
 several TP reception test comparisons with Guy Atkins about 3 miles to the
 southwest (on rocky hill soil), I would sometimes receive low band Asians
 like 603-HLSA, 657-Pyongyang and 738-BEL2 at vibrant levels, while Guy
 would report no reception at all on his Perseus-SDR. On the other hand, Guy
 would frequently receive high band Asians like 1287-JOHR and 1323-CRI that
 I had no trace of, at the time. Needless to say, the strongest signal of
 the morning was again from 603-HLSA, which hit an excellent peak at 1340
 with Korean pop music (and several other excellent peaks as well).

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on MArch 27

2014-03-27 Thread Bruce Portzer
We're nearing the end of the season, so it's no surprise reception 
quality is tapering off.  A couple of the regulars had nice signals for 
brief periods today.  Otherwise, there were several stations producing 
weak audio for brief periods.


GOOD - Mostly understandable by a native speaker for brief periods
693JOAB, English lesson 1324
774JOUB, Weather report 1313
1566HLAZ, 1329 Japanese man briefly good, otherwise fair-nil

FAIR - A native speaker could pick out a few words if they worked at it
594JOAK, man  woman in Japanese 1326

POOR - A native speaker would scratch their head and say I dunno
567JOIK, 1324 faint talk //594
648VOR?, faint female talk 1333
747JOIB, English lesson //693 1323, Chinese lesson 1355
828JOBB, 1300 pips, then weather report
972HLCA, 1211 rapid Korean talk
981CNR1, 1255 weak Chinese woman
1053Korean jammer 1302
1134Woman talking 1330

[IRCA] 1410 unID

2014-03-27 Thread Nigel Pimblett


Conditions were decent, though not spectacular, to the east overnight. 
Didn't hear anything new, but did note several infrequent visitors. I 
did run across one mystery on 1410. Had what sounded like an ID, but the 
call letters I was hearing didn't match up to anything.   I'd welcome 
any fresh ears having a listen at:

News-talk at the very start, for sure. And it's a W-call.
My hunch from Alberta you'd hear WIZM LaCrosse WI, but this doesn't sound at 
all like that. WCMT in Martin TN. Not quite, either IMO. It sounds like WCVE to 
me, but nothing even remotely close to 
that, that I can find. WDOV DE seems outrageously far...

Thanks all who took a listen, and IDed as WIZM. Not actually a new

usually KRWB that predominates from that direction these days.
