Re: [IRCA] WBOB-600 -

[Walter Salmaniw]

I didn't think about taping until 07:12 UTC, so I'll listen to my mp3
especially around 07:20 to see if I heard anything.  Here, it was a battle
between Saskatoon (mostly) and occasionally CO.  I didn't notice any echo.

Re: [IRCA] not WBOB-600

[Patrick Martin]

I have a lot of 70s & 80s cassettes that  still play okay. At my age, I figure 
most of my tapes will last the rest of my life. I tried out a 1977 Beta tape a 
few months ago and it played fine, with the usual dropouts with the old heads. 
I record everything TV on DVD now. But there is a question on how long the 
burns will last too.

Yep,  I still use a cassette for my master. I even have reel to reel IDs going 
back to the late 60s. By the way, I still have 8 track, 4 Track, VHS & Beta, as 
well as CD & DVD recorders. I am old fashioned. hi. Yet I have wifi radios,

1610 is indeed off. I'm in downtown Toronto, a mile from the xmtr. A loud buzz

only Toronto station off. Snowy weather precluding me from trying to go 
mobile.Saul Chernos

Congrats, Patrick, you definitely had them.  Voice ID, all of 3 seconds, noted 
here at 0053:42 EST. Then into whoop tones and Morse Code.
 
BTW, Total Recorder is great.  Once you use it, you will never use cassettes 
again.

I found the sweep tones at 0202 EST and a bit later some tones and also phone 
off the hook sounds. I still need to go back and re-run the cassette tape to 
see if any code or voice IDs came through the jumble. My beverage is not as

directional.

[IRCA] WBOB-600 - Patrick Martin

[Marc DeLorenzo via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---

Congrats, Patrick, you definitely had them.  Voice ID, all of 3 seconds, noted 
here at 0053:42 EST. Then into whoop tones and Morse Code.
 
BTW, Total Recorder is great.  Once you use it, you will never use cassettes 
again.

I found the sweep tones at 0202 EST and a bit later some tones and also phone 
off the hook sounds. I still need to go back and re-run the cassette tape to 
see if any code or voice IDs came through the jumble. My beverage is not as 
directional as I would like at the bottom of the band. Above 1200 it is very 
directional.

Re: [IRCA] WBOB-600 - Patrick Martin

[Patrick Martin]

Thanks Marc.  I am trying to put together a report to e mail. The sweep tones 
came in fairly well and I heard some 1000 cycle tones as well as the phone off 
the hook sounds. I would love to get at least 1 CW ID. I will check out the 
cassette tonight. I am a bit concerned about recording to the HDD as a 
permanent record, as there are hiccups in software. On an analog cassette, the 
audio will be there until I erase it.

Hey - I still have a functioning Walkman from 1985 --
A couple of Sony MD's
A Commercial grade JVC Dual direct drive Cassette unit.
A Tascam pro Reel-reel 7 and 15 IPS mastering deck
A 1972 era Sony 1 7/8, 3 3/4 and 7 1/2 IPS Reel-Reel

and boxes of cassettes from the mid 70's to mid-80's that really need to be
digitally re-mastered before they crumble.

[IRCA] TP 9 Jan Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Pretty dead until after 1500UT, and a pre-sunrise peak around 1530UT 
on the upper band



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):


1575 VoA woman in SE Asian language 1528UT, "this program has come to 
you  from the Voice of America" by man at 1529UT





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



1566 HLAZ first heard 1508UT, and maintained a low level of audio, 
with final peak 1527-31UT with woman and man in Chinese, and hymns




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 female vocal music 1541UT
1593 man talking 1525UT, Chinese?



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


the above passing through



best wishes,

Nick

I was doing chores at 0700UT, but left the recorder running.  There 
are weak "whoops" under KCOL at 0702UT (check again Walt and 
Colin).  A fine tooth comb will be necessary, but I think I need 
to try digging out some CW.Time is at a premium at present, may 
need to wait a day or two...


What frequency was the CW tones?

1610 CHHA seems off the air right now, or at least no sign of them here in
Michigan, which is unusual.  Instead I just heard the Mackinac Bridge

Re: [IRCA] WBOB-600 -

Nick - also thought that I heard a couple of instances of 'whoops / sweeps' 
and one of tones, at 0708 and 0720Z if I recall, but just too light to be 
certain. I was able to nicely null barn-burner CJWW but still couldn't seem 
to get past the other two C-t-C stations. Prop was very good to that 
direction on 630m last night so it's not that conditions were terrible.

Re: [IRCA] WBOB-600 - Patrick Martin

[Patrick Martin]

I finally got back to the cassette tape and after running the cassette through 
some filtering, at 0200 EST, 2300 PST, I heard Morse Code which sounded like 
WBOB, but the QRM was pretty rough, at 0202 EST 2302 PST, there was sweep tones 
that I had caught earlier. Now all I have to do is try to put the first 3 
minutes into an audio file and e mail it off.  I am very pleased indeed!!! That 
Eastern Beverage did it again!

[IRCA] WBOB DX Test - Upper LaHaveNova Scotia

[Michael Yule]

Fair here in Nova Scotia at 05:59:30 UTC - as mentioned by others sweep
tones, stairs, Price is Right jingle. Progreso had been dominating up to the
time the test started. 

 

Rcdg starts at 05:59:30.

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gdbdofuhcwgd5ww/Radio%20-%20WBOB%20600%20kHz%2010%
20Jan%202016%20055930%20UTC.mp3?dl=0

 

At 0658-0702 UTC Rebelde cuckoo tones and commentary @ TOH, that wiped out
very strong 'America the beautiful' up to 06:58:50. Sweep tones audible at
07:01:45 under Rebelde. Can't confirm where 'AtB' originated, no ID heard.

 

Rcdg starts at 06:58:30.

20Jan%202016%20065830%20UTC.mp3?dl=0

 

At 0758-0802 UTC only Libertad (Barranquila) on frequency.

 

Can anyone confirm what power was being used? Is it the regular nighttime of
1.8? I notice a construction permit for 9.7 nighttime, and am wondering if
this was what was being tested. Also does anyone know if there is a
possibility of QSL'ing this transmission?

 

Thanks very much!

For a while, I had a slight echo on the Coast to Coast audio, which 
would have been a mix of KCOL and KOGO.

I just heard  a nice clear KCOL ID a couple of minutes ago (maybe around
0638 UT).  It's dominant here in Seattle, with a trace of something in the
background.   That's on the 150 degree lobe of the K9AY.

I've mostly  been doing unattended recording so far, so there might be
more there when I play back the file.  Judging from the reports, I
shouldn't get my hopes up for WBOB.

I did catch the sweeps, but that was it. I will check the cassette out later, 
in case I missed something.  I wasn't listening all of the time, but the 
cassette was running. At 0259.50 I caught the KCOL 600 ID, mixing with KGEZ ( A 
regular) as well as SK.

[IRCA] Full report, WBOB DX test reception (Arizona)

[Brian Rachford]

I had been having problems with my 7'x24' Superloop antenna and suspected
the impedance matching transformer for the feedline, but had been too busy
to take care of that.  Finally, with the WBOB DX test upcoming, I built a
new transformer and while I was at it, built a decade box resistor for the
termination.  As usual, I was using my RTL-SDR/upconverter/pre-amp combo
and gqrx software on a MacBook Pro, and the antenna was pointed 90 degrees
as Jacksonville is almost exactly due East via Great Circle.

The test apparently started at 10pm MST (0500UT), and while I had hints of
Morse code during the second hour (which I might be able to recover from
the SDR recording), I was worried I was going to get shut out.  KCOL was
much stronger than usual and on top most of the time, with KOGO and
presumed KROD frequently in the mix.  However, CW came through quite
clearly around 12:05am MST, followed by several frequency sweeps.  I had
made a "cheat sheet" so I could recognize the call letters in real time.
Upon replay, I was able to decode the entire message.  Nothing received
during the rest of the test.

600 WBOB, Jacksonville FL, weak at 12:05am (0705UT), 35kW(?), CW call (new;
driveway loop), 1809 miles

This was a new state and my 3rd longest overland reception.  Thanks to
Jerry Smith for the test.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 600 WBOB test

Difficult here due to Cuba on 600 and CBS Sports (probably WKYH).

Definite CW ID, sweep tones, rising tones, phone off hook sounds, "Price 
is Right" theme, klaxon siren and very slow CW heard here in Manassas, VA.

Great test and I’m sure it was well heard. Thanks to everyone involved in

[IRCA] WBOB Test

[Russ Edmunds]

I had doubts on hearing this as the azimuth takes me quite close to IBOC
local WIP-610, however upon checking the recordings, I heard the code
starting 0008 followed by sweeps coming through Rebelde. Also had SRN
religion, which based on other reports was probably also WBOB. Nice 5 wpm
code ID's 0013 then phone off hook sound after.

[IRCA] WBOB Test

[Ira Elbert New III]

I listened from about 1:10 to 1:15 in the morning here and heard the test loud 
and clear. I heard Morse Code, Sweep Tones, a Busy Signal, and The Price is 
Right theme song. 

There was a little fading towards 1:15, but otherwise, it was almost like 
listening to a local station at night. 

I used my SANGEAN ATS 909 to catch this one.

Re: [IRCA] WBOB 600 DX TEST

[Larry R Fravel]

Listened from 0002 to 0018 and heard the test come through very well. 
Started out at 0001 with SRN news , then faded out and had some SS pretty 
loud.  About 0008 picked up sweep tones of various types, off hook tones, 
more tones, Morse ID then back into more tones.  Every once in a while a 
short 3 or 4 second blurb from a male announcer talking about religion would 
come through.  More CW at 0017 into sweeps.


Used my IC-7410, MFJ-1024 active antenna at about 15 feet and 50 feet from 
house.  My location is in valley at 900 feet surrounded by hills at 1300 to 
1500 feet, especially to the south.

[IRCA] WBOB Test

[Stan Horzepa]

I had my doubts about hearing WBOB here in Central Connecticut, but I 
stayed up anyway and was rewarded with a new log entry.


I began hearing WBOB at 0516 UTC and monitored 600 kHz until 0605 UTC. 
During that time I heard voice and Morse Code station ID's, as well as, 
music (the "Price is Right" theme song), a variety of tone sweeps and 
telephone busy signals. WBOB was competing with local WICC and an 
unidentified Spanish station, but I managed to hear "something" from 
WBOB most of the 49 minutes I monitored 600 kHz. I recorded about ten 
minutes of the test with my iPad.


I used an Elecraft KX3 with an 80-meter inverted Vee dipole most of the 
time, but the signal was so good that I tried listening with my C.Crane 
Skywave receiver using its stock internal antenna and heard a voice ID 
loud and clear.


Great Fun!

[IRCA] WBOB Question

[Russ Edmunds]

During the course of the test there were times when WBOB clearly broke from
its SRN programming to run test material, however other times when they
appeared to run the tones, sweeps, etc. along with/through the SRN talk.

Did others observe this ? Or was there someone else in there running SRN
programming ? None of the listed SRN stations on 600 would appear likely,
so I'm inclined to believe that they did mix it up in this way

First review of my unattended recording shows the sweep tones, ascending beeps, 
and a WBOB spoken ID coming in around 0600 UTC.


The stiff competition was the typical shoot-out of Radio Rebelde Cuba, Radio 
Libertad Colombia, and WYEL Puerto Rico (with ID of // 580 WKAQ).


I'll be sending a report with mp3 for QSL once I figure out what's the clearest

[IRCA] WBOB DX test to Oklahoma

[Glenn Hauser via IRCA]

** U S A. 600, Jan 10 at 0545 UT on the R75 with E/W longwire, first check for 
the WBOB Jacksonville FL DX test which started at 0500 UT. Really too much WMT 
on this antenna, so switch to DX-398 nulling WMT IA as much as possible, i.e. 
aiming SE instead of ESE, which leaves a mix of Cuba and who knows what. Soon I 
hear Morse code spelling out JACKSONVILLE, so I could stop right there; 0549 UT 
sweep tones; 0550 UT rising beeps, phone-off-hook pulses; 0554 UT fire alarm 
siren & bells; very slow Morse spelling out WBOB a few times; 0555 UT 
phone-off-hook; 0557 UT WBOB in Morse many times; 0558 UT sweeps upward; 0559 
UT beeps upward; 0600 UT phone-off-hook; 0603 UT fire alarm; 0605 UT I hear a 
voice mention Jacksonville, but suspect it was coincidental at end of Fox 
``news`` from WMT; etc., etc. Tnx for the test, reportedly with 35 kW 
non-direxional day power and ND pattern rather than 9.5 kW out into the 
Atlantic normally at night (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

CKAT was playing classic country Russ. I had them in at my locale. Just 70
miles NW in St. Cloud MN CJWW was reported in which I believe I still need.

Re: [IRCA] not WBOB-600

[Bruce Portzer]

I replayed my recording of 600 from last night and haven't found any 
traces of the WBOB test.


KCOL was dominant most of the time with Coast to Coast and several IDs.  
It was occasionally joined by a second CtC station (probably KOGO) and 
an unid country station (probably CJWW).


Thanks to everyone who helped organize and publicize this test. It was 
worth a try here.

I just heard  a nice clear KCOL ID a couple of minutes ago (maybe 
around
0638 UT).  It's dominant here in Seattle, with a trace of something 
in the

background.   That's on the 150 degree lobe of the K9AY.

I've mostly  been doing unattended recording so far, so there might be
more there when I play back the file.  Judging from the reports, I
shouldn't get my hopes up for WBOB.

Re: [IRCA] not WBOB-600

[Patrick Martin]

I found the sweep tones at 0202 EST and a bit later some tones and also phone 
off the hook sounds. I still need to go back and re-run the cassette tape to 
see if any code or voice IDs came through the jumble. My beverage is not as 
directional as I would like at the bottom of the band. Above 1200 it is very 
directional.
