954 buried as usual here in Seattle splatter, but 972 reached brief S9 levels 
from 1405-1415. 603-China and 657-Pyongyang also showed up weakly. The sunrise

[IRCA] TP 21 Oct Victoria version

2015-10-21 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Quite a dud morning up until around 1400UTthen things started to 
fizz. (a domestic of note with North Korean style modulation was 
on 1110 splattering all around it as it came on at 1430UT)




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



747 JOIB 1415UT, English lessons
774 JOUB 1415UT, sometimes matching 747 in strength with English lessons
954 JOKR two men in Japanese 1435UT
972 HLCA two men in Korean 1409UT


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


567 JOIK two men in Japanese 1425UT, stronger than //594
594 JOAK man in Japanese 1414UT
837 JOQK man in Japanese 1400UT, no pips across hour; //594 which was 
much weaker

828 JOBB English lessons 1415UT
1053 Korean jammer 1358UT; sort of floated away 1402UT, though 
carrier remained strong

1143 Taiwan Fisheries woman in Chinese //738, 1429UT
1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1417UT
1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1426UT



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


873  JOGB Chinese lessons theme music 1359UT, pips, into English 
//774...did he really say "an SDR skill test"???

1242 JOLF woman in Japanese 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)


738 Taiwan Fisheries, woman talking //1143 1429UT
846 NHK1 light music //594 1430UT
864 HLKR woman "HL.." just before pips 1400UT
918 JOEF woman talking 1425UT, slightly delayed from parallel 1242
963 man talking 1411UT, too murky to guess language
1089 JOHB woman talking //747 1435UT, only briefly there in splash
1116 man talking 1412UT, didn't really sound  DU
1134 woman and man talking, Japanese?
1422 woman talking 1441UT, far too much splash to guess language


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

603 639 909 945 1269 1314 1386 1593


best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-21

2015-10-21 Thread d1028gary
A dreary band in the predawn darkness was rescued somewhat by a potent sunrise 
enhancement boost after 1400, bringing the usual Japanese and Korean big guns 
up to respectable levels, and several second-tier Asians out of the noise. 
  
Around 1305 the Asians were anemic indeed, with only 1566-HLAZ managing fair 
audio in and out. During the predawn darkness all the NHK big guns seemed to be 
struggling to get out of the noise, and the Koreans on 972 and 1053 were 
missing in action. Things began to improve dramatically around 1400 when the 
Japanese on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 came out of the noise to reach fair to 
good levels in and out, while the Koreans on 972 and 1053 got a serious boost. 
Around 1405 both 603-China (with weak male-female Chinese speech, all alone 
without HLSA) and 657-Pyongyang managed fair audio peaks, while a presumed 
1134-KBS also came out of the noise with variety show programming sounding like 
972. Although the Japanese big guns followed Nick's script by staying at 
relatively modest levels 972-HLCA became pretty strong, with Korean female 
speech temporarily hitting a very good level around 1410. Neither 603-China nor 
657-Pyongyang could hold their fair strength for any length of time, though, 
and sunk into the noise around 1420. The Japanese big guns also bailed shortly 
thereafter, but 972-HLCA was still in audio as late as 1445 here-- pretty much 
unprecedented for this mediocre location so far this season. Overall the 
session was moderately interesting because of the dramatic sunrise enhancement 
boost-- which turned a clunker band into something pretty decent.

2015-10-21 Thread R. Colin Newell
As others have witnesses my 1255 UTC observation of plenty of nothing on
the bands turned to joy by
my second look at 1424UTC --

Starting at the bottom:

Audio snatches on 558, 567 (JJ), 594 (Huge JJ), 603 KK Murmurs,

612 (EE), 621 Massive het with near audio, 639 CC YL,

702 murmurs in the splash
729 Het on Vancouver (always think of it as CKLG - its 60's call sign...)
738 Murmurs, 747 BIG JJ,

828 Big JJ, 837 JJ, 846 Actual loud YL in something Not JJ, Not CC, not
Korea... vaguely Tagalog'ish... could it be?
Audio murmurs in the splash on 891 quite loud at times, 909, 918, 972 BIG
KK, 1017, 1026 that sounded quite Jam like...
1098 Big carrier low audio 1116 EE Talk 1143 YL CC Talk, 1242 JJ,
1386 JJ,

1566 and 1575 notable by  their "meh" lack of umph

All that in 7 minutes of observations.

I think Mark has it 100% right. The Beverage actually has best gain straight up 
while the DKAZ is down maybe 7-10 dB at overhead angles.

Could the anomalous results be from the fact that sometimes at the sunrise or 
sunset transition you actually have higher angle pick-up for long haul because 
of a tilted ionospheric layer above the receiving site (enabling chordal / 
ducted mode propagation reducing the number of ground reflections)?
 
 
http://www.radtelnetwork.com.au/propagation/HFpropagation_files/img013.gif
 
 
An antenna that is efficient for high angles may briefly outperform otherwise 
superior long haul DX (i.e. low angle pick-up) antennas.
 
 
There used to be a station near Madrid, Spain on 1359 kHz that ran big power 
into a Near Vertical Incidence Skywave antenna (horizontal dipole?) to push out 
high angle skip to penetrate isolated valley areas between mountains.  Here in 
Massachusetts during mid-evening the station was no stronger than other high 
band Spain stations in the 5 to 10 kW class.  But as dawn reached Madrid, the 
signal came up and got crazy-loud, often the strongest station from across the 
"pond" at the time.
 
 
160-m hams have reported that they have brief periods when a low dipole or 
horizontal loop below quarter-wave height ("cloud burner") contacts DX that 
their big verticals or high-altitude beams or dipoles miss.  95% of the time 
it's the other way around of course.

[IRCA] East Coast (was: Avoiding QRM)

2015-10-21 Thread Mark Connelly via IRCA
--- Begin Message ---

Welcome to the northeast Michael.


One way to figure things out is to look at loggings in the IRCA and NRC 
bulletins from those of us in the eastern Canada and northeastern USA regions.


Relatively near the seashore and fairly active are:
Allen Willie - NL
Brent Taylor - PEI
Sylvain Naud - QC
Bruce Conti - NH
Keith McGinnis - metro-Boston, MA
Mark Connelly, Marc DeLorenzo, Steve Wood - Cape Cod, MA


A bit farther inland but still able to bag Transatlantics and South Americans 
regularly:
Bob Young - central MA
Jim Renfrew - upstate NY
Ben Dangerfield - near Philadelphia, PA
Bill Whitacre - Delmarva


Neil Kazaross, when DXing from his Grafton, WI site (cliff over Lake Michigan) 
has almost-coastal-quality results sometimes too.


Reporters from other areas such as Florida will sometimes have tips that are 
relevant, especially regarding the western Caribbean zone.


One problem is that all this information is more scattered around than it used 
to be.


Being on several email lists, Yahoo groups, and Facebook is what you need to do 
to get all the useful information though much still shows up in the 
international and domestic columns of IRCA and NRC.


Mark Connelly, WA1ION

<<
Good luck in the new place Michael.  Maybe
contact Brent Taylor in 
PEI for some somewhat local colour.  And, is Jean
Burnell still in 
that part of the world, I wonder?)


(the spelling is
OK...it's from a Canadian to a Canadian about Canadians)

Re: [IRCA] Beverage versus DKAZ (was: TP for 20 October from Masset)

2015-10-21 Thread neilkaz
Actually a Bev has best gain straight up from directions perpendicular (+/- 90 
deg) to the main beam. 

I'd not expect that a good comparison could be made comparing an antenna at 300 
deg vs one at 220 deg. That being said, a 700 ft BOG is a very good antenna and 
I'd expect its more narrow beam to outperform a single DKAZ for it's intended 
direction.

Walt do you have room to array two DKAZ? ie consider 100 meters spacing side by 
side aimed 220 for a more narrow beam and to better reduce stateside and Asian 
QRM on DU channels.

Walt, 
  
The body of mark's message is pasted below. I used to have the same problem 
posting with AOL during DXpeditions, until Theo D. told me to try something 
else :-) 
  
73, Gary 
  
Pasted: 
  
Could the anomalous results be from the fact that sometimes at the sunrise or 
sunset transition you actually have higher angle pick-up for long haul because 
of a tilted ionospheric layer above the receiving site (enabling chordal / 
ducted mode propagation reducing the number of ground 
reflections)? 


http://www.radtelnetwork.com.au/propagation/HFpropagation_files/img013.gif 


An 
antenna that is efficient for high angles may briefly outperform otherwise 
superior long haul DX (i.e. low angle pick-up) antennas. 


There used to be a 
station near Madrid, Spain on 1359 kHz that ran big power into a Near Vertical 
Incidence Skywave antenna (horizontal dipole?) to push out high angle skip to 
penetrate isolated valley areas between mountains.  Here in Massachusetts 
during 
mid-evening the station was no stronger than other high band Spain stations in 
the 5 to 10 kW class.  But as dawn reached Madrid, the signal came up and got 
crazy-loud, often the strongest station from across the "pond" at the 
time. 


160-m hams have reported that they have brief periods when a low 
dipole or horizontal loop below quarter-wave height ("cloud burner") contacts 
DX 
that their big verticals or high-altitude beams or dipoles miss.  95% of the 
time it's the other way around of course.

2015-10-21 Thread Walter Salmaniw
Thanks, Gary for pasting Mark's comments.  I agree that the answer has to
be with the angle of arrival.  The vertical component must quickly die off
up here at dawn.  This, however did not seem to be the case in Grayland. As
I recall, John Bryant experimented with the 2 array delta Wellbrooks and
was very pleased with the results, including at dawn and post LSR, while I
have never had good results with them after my local SR.  The BOG, of
course, rocks during this time period.  73, Walt

[IRCA] TP from Masset for 21 Oct 2015

2015-10-21 Thread Walter Salmaniw
An unusual morning   Monitored from 13:25 to past 17:00.  Highlights as
follows:

1026. Filipino at armchair level by 14:20. Rapid fire Tagolog, with
frequent "news flash"

1125. Filipino.  Religious  so assumed FEBC DWAS, but later heard Super
Radyo making this DXGM. Over 40 min until s off at 15:03 with NA. Might
have heard both stations.

1062. Excellent reception of DZEC at 15:26. At 16:00 expected same but
heard ABC fanfare! Either  ABC Riverland or ABC Far North.  Both only 2
kW.  Surprising since it wasn't a DU morning.  Ie. 612, 116 etc were not
there.

1205 (not 1206). CNR 1 with multi site echo at 15:45. Better than 1206
strength.  Not listed in my PAL, but noted in Grayland master list from
several years ago.

774. Filipino going strong at 16:16

Noted that there was a minimal post LSR enhancement.  I didn't think that
Asians were super strong.  Neither were there many, barely any, DU
stations.  Hawaiians were fair, with 940 being my bell weather station.
Later only heard on SW DKAZ.  73, from sunny Masset!  Walt

have heard Thursday Island, our normal occupant of 1062.
1125: DWAS signs off at 1300 but you didn't say when you heard the religion..
1205: There's 1 log in the Grayland Master but I think it is a typo and should

Yeah, right on.  Blame me... 

It's bee-kaws some email software (M$...) creates messages as .eml 
files, rather than transmitting as simple text -- and some receiving 
email software doesn't know how to natively handle that file type.

[IRCA] AM BCB DX…Latest ELAD Captures…2 NEW STNS Logged

Hi Guys:

   Well…I'm 300 Gigs behind in reviewing ELAD Files…but luckily I have a 4 TB 
Hard Drive for storage, so I guess there is no need to panic yet!! HHAHHAHA.

This latest batch of Loggings is for Oct/03-Oct/06 and netted me 2 NEW Stations 
and some interesting Relogs. I also have 1 UNID that I figured should be 
IDable…but I can't find anything that fits. If anyone recognizes this ID I 
heard….I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on it!!

Re: [IRCA] TP from Masset for 21 Oct 2015

2015-10-21 Thread Walter Salmaniw
A huge thank you, Chuck!  Thursday Island it is.  Can't be DWAS, I guess,

1 on 1205?  And has anyone noticed that before?  I'll need to check
tomorrow again.  73,  Walt
