[IRCA] TP 1 Mar Victoria version

2015-03-01 Thread Nick Hall-Patch

Yesterday, my antenna broke; today, propagation broke.


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


uh uh



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


nope



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


actually, HLAZ's Japanese program did manage this level, organ mx, 
choral mx 1328UT, FEBC mention by woman 1336UT, and now and again up 
through Japanese program s/off at 1345UT.  Snippets of the CC program 
showed up over the next 15 minutes or so at lower level




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)


972 man talking 1307UT
1044 hints of woman talking 1413UT.really reaching here, but 
there wasn't much else






Strongish het, no or near imaginary audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


 828 1044 1053 1242 1422 1593



best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] Ecuador on 750

2015-03-01 Thread Sylvain Naud

Thank you guys.

To tell you the truth Brandon, I have more success with trans-Atlantic 
stations than Latins. It seems that you have to DX deep in the night to 
be successful with Latins, which I'm not doing. I would certainly like 
also to log more Mexicans like Saul is doing in Ontario, but it seems 
that the key for that is to get up very early and I'm used to get up at 
7:00 :-)

Subject: [IRCA] Ecuador on 750

While DXing live on Thursday night at around 00:30 EST, I had a great
surprise when I heard HCRC2 Radio Caravana on 750 from Guayaquil,
Ecuador. From that moment, I began to record  a chunk of the band with
the Perseus hoping that it could later reveal more surprises on other
nearby channels. Surprisingly, after a quick review of the files, there
was nothing to cheer for. A few Cubans were observed here and there, but
not with authority as the band was largely dominated with domestics.

What surprised me also was the absence of Venezuela on 750, which is
usually the dominant LA station here on that channel.

_Clip# 1_: With the station alone on the frequency, promos including one

from the /Pollo Rojo/ restaurant, enumerating typical Ecuadorian dishes
from their menu like /Aguado de pollo /and /seco de pollo

/http://www.quebecdx.com/ecuador_hcrc2_750d.mp3

_Clip# 2_: This time, a phone-in report with Radio Caravana mentions.
The clip begin with a mix of domestics with WSB among them then around
sec.30, there's a shift in the propagation path and this is where the 25
Kw Ecuadorian station retake the lead

Even though this is a relog from 2012, I was very pleased to repeat the
experience :)

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-1

2015-03-01 Thread d1028gary

Hello All, 
  
As predicted by solar experts Asian signals hit the skids this morning, with 
very few TP's managing to get out of the noise during a non-existent sunrise 
enhancement. The diehards that did manage audio didn't stick around for long, 
and you needed some luck to catch them at the right time. 
  
At my 1405 start time the band featured poor signals in and out from 594, 603, 
693, 972, 1044 (the only minor surprise) and 1566 in the darkness, which seemed 
like a fairly routine situation just before daybreak. Unfortunately the 
increasing daylight did nothing for the Asians, which bailed one by one until 
they were all long gone by 1440. It's possible that TP signals were better 
prior to my 1405 start time, but after pushing my live-DXing luck yesterday by 
starting of at 1300 (with fairly good results) I figured that the frozen back 
yard didn't seem as attractive as an extra hour of sleep. 
  
73 and Good DX, 
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
