[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 31 January 2015
Yesterday's rut looks pretty good today. The only audio was a few words now and again from 1548 4QD. Nothing at all from Asia, and even the carriers were feeble. 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 DX in Seattle on Jan 31
I totally agree with the sentiments expressed by Dennis and Nigel. It wasn't much of a TP morning here, either. HLAZ-1566 was fair with the usual Chinese program at about 1520. There were carriers on 972 1386 1422 1503 and 1575. That was about it.

[IRCA] TP 31 Jan Victoria version
Sunrise enhancement was pretty minimal, with possibly HLAZ making a little noise, but a couple of DU's brightened things up earlier, and maybe one lonely Asian . pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): no... Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): and, no not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 738 likely Tahiti. Rock mx noted at this level 1329 and 1435UT 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) 774 3LO? vocal country mx at 1329UT sure didn't sound like NHK2, more likely Saturday Night Country from ABC 972 HLCA?? man talking 1416UT, really too weak to guess at language; at 1421UT came back for a bit, with a woman murmuring agreement to said man, which does sound a bit like Korea 1566 woman talking 1525-9UT, but again too weak for a language guess. Strongish het, no or near imaginary audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 702 828 837 855 891 1008 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

[IRCA] Daytime Skywave MWDX to Enid area OK, Jan 30-31
---BeginMessage--- ** U S A. Daytime Skywave MW DX to Enid OK, 1913-1928 UT January 30 Jan 30 at 1913 UT, only 41 minutes after local mean noon, I find a good steady signal from WGN 720. Winter daytime skywave is in play. I`m driving away from neighborhood and household noise sources, so in central Enid I keep driving until pervasive line noise and plasma screens are minimal, parking first by a warehouse near the intersexion of Walnut Jefferson. No DFing on the caradio with vertical whip. Here`s what I log in the next quarter-hour: 720, Jan 30 at 1913 UT, good steady signal from WGN Chicago, almost 700 miles. Under very quiet conditions even in the summer I can sometimes pull it by groundwave, but this is much stronger. Talkhost is discussing wings and football games, mentions Órion Samuelson in passing. 710, Jan 30 at 1914 UT, Rush with some CCI and a low audible het! Surely the latter is not from the part-time off-frequency Chihuahuan? Rush is KGNC Amarillo, normal dominant on GW, not KCMO Kansas City which is in Dave Ramsey. 670, Jan 30 at 1915 UT, CCI between sports talk and another station. Sports must be WSCR Chicago, but as also on rare groundwave it`s considerably weaker than WGN. Other station is KLTT Denver which normally reaches here barely on GW. (WBBM 780 and WLS 890 are blocked by Okies and 670 is bothered by splash from 640 Moore. BTW, I keep mistyping its call: once recently as KWPM as in Moore, but it`s really KWPN as in Norman; or since it`s a Sports Animal, ``We Program Nonsense``!) 570, Jan 30 at 1916 UT, WNAX ID and Accuweather for Yankton SD, clearly audible under KLIF Dallas. WNAX is always there on GW, but skywave may be helping a bit now. SAH counted as 212 per minute or 3.53 Hz. 760, Jan 30 at 1917, KCCV Overland Park/Kansas City religion has unID CCI. Could it be 50 kW non-direxional WJR Detroit? 50 kW KKZN Thornton (Denver) is half as far, but day pattern westward, null eastward, and rare here at any time. Arkansas station unlikely on GW, poor conductivity that way. 850, Jan 30 at 1918 UT, Rush. That would be KOA Denver, which per http://www.850koa.com/cc-common/rushlimbaugh/ just started airing him live this month with the proviso that he will be pre-empted for any sillyballgames on weekday afternoons. KOA can barely reach here on GW but better now, and no sign of the Texan. 1000, Jan 30 at 1919 UT, KTOK OKC, talker is strong as usual, but I can hear something under it, unusual. Since Chicago is in on 670 720, I suspect WMVP, which has a lopsided day pattern favoring east, but considerable west too. There`s nothing on 1000 between here and Chicago. Sioux Falls beams NW away from us. 1060, Jan 30 at 1919 UT, station in English with fast SAH from another. Probably KIJN Farwell TX the off-frequency one so obvious at night, and KRCN Denver. KIJN could be GW, but KRCN may need skywave. 1100, Jan 30 at 1920 UT, Rush. Certainly not my closest, KKLL Webb City (Joplin) MO which is religious and barely reaches on GW. NRC AM Log shows him on three 50 kW ND stations: WTAM Cleveland OH, KNZZ Grand Junxion CO, and WZFG Dilworth MN (Fargo). My first choice would be WTAM, city to city 1509 km or 938 miles. All three stations` websites confirm Rush still on live, the other two with super-patriotic hype branding. 1120, Jan 30 at 1921 UT, KEOR Tulsa/Catoosa/Sperry is *still* open carrier dead air, but KMOX St Louis can be heard under it. That takes skywave over poor-conductivity Ozarx. As I tune up the band, encounter some heavy noise on 1200, so move a few blox to another location near the intersexion of Maple Madison: 1360, Jan 30 at 1924 UT, EWTN station with a low audible het I heard before at Vance, so seems it`s really there, indicating one of: KPHN El Dorado KS, or KDJW Amarillo TX is considerably off-frequency. If I could get enough signal on the DX-398, I could determine which, by BFO and DFing. May have to do it around SRS or SSS. 1450, Jan 30 at 1925 UT, ``your musical portfolio, live and in color, KGFF``. There`s a unique slogan from Shawnee OK groundwave. Quite a feat, since I thought AM radio was only in black white. Woodward`s KSIW is about the same distance, and you never know which one or both will be in, but KGFF wins at the moment. 1540, Jan 30 at 1925 UT, ``1540 KXEL`` ID from Waterloo IA, poor with SAH, but definitely there by skywave already, during 50 kW ND pattern. Otherstation probably Kansas. 1690, Jan 30 at 1927 UT, sounds like Disney music, and YL announcer at 1928 UT giving a phone number including 7056. Would that be R. Disney 800 number? It`s not the individual phone of KDDZ Arvada CO as in NRC AM Log, nor would I expect talker WVON Chicago to be doing this unless the music was just a break/liner. Aha, finally found on R. Disney website this: ``Radio Disney offers several forms of contest / sweepstakes: Call-In: The Radio Disney toll - free phone number for call - in entries is 1 - 877
