Hi Guys:

 Here is my Report for Stations heard the last week. Things seem to be slowing 
down as the AM BCB Season  winds down. Also I haven't had much time to review 
Recordings to see what I may have received….

It will soon be time to switch over to FM DXing once the Tropo and E-Skip moves 
in!!

[IRCA] TP 6 Apr Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Another pretty reasonable morning for early April, with likely 
several stations unlogged around the pre-sunrise peak at about 
1315UT; things were moving pretty quickly just then


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


594 JOAK man and woman in Japanese 1310UT
774 JOUB 1249UT with English lessons
828 JOBB  1307UT, sounded like Korean lessons? //774
1566 HLAZ man in Japanese 1331UT



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


558 tHLQH soft vocal music 1315UT, but very little on 603
567 JOIK man in Japanese //594 1312UT
972 HLCA man in Korean 1314UT
1053 Korean jammer 1309UT



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


693 JOAB flute music //774 with CBU well nulled 1330UT
747 JOIK KK lessons?  //828 1304UT
891 JOHK man and woman in Japanese //594 1311UT
954 JOKR woman in Japanese 1317UT
1575 VoA likely with man in SE ASian language 1322UT, better on north Flag



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)


531 JOQK man in Japanese //594 1313UT
738 pop music 1250UT
945 man talking, maybe Chinese inflection ? 1311UT, definitely not //594
963 woman talking 1318UT, but didn't seem parallel with either the 
sketchy 1323 or the thundering 594
981 man talking, Chinese inflection 1319UT, couldn't get this and 945 
at the same time

1017 CRI??? woman talking, maybe Korean 1314UT, no SW // available
1089 JOHB man talking 1316UT, weak, but //774
1116 man talking, DU English inflection, followed by piano music 1331UT
1206 man and woman talking 1302UT, but woman had more of a Chinese 
sound to her voice

1503 JOUK woman in Japaneses //594 1326UT



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


603 702 1044  1107  1134 1143  1179 1242 1269 1314  1323 1593



best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] Colorado TPs, Sort Of

[d1028gary]

Hello Craig, 
  
Thanks very much for your TP-DX report from Colorado this morning, and 
congratulations on your inland reception of 774-JOUB, 
  
<<<   Kudos to Gary DeBock also. I really enjoy reading about the evolution of 
FSL equipped PL380s and the subsequent performance results!   >>> 
  
Thank you for your generous comment about the FSL equipped PL-380's, Craig. If 
any radio can possibly make us feel like excited teenagers again, this has got 
to be the model :-) 
  
73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA)  
  
  
Greetings, 

From 1316 through 1332, JOUB 774 brief periods of audio for a few minutes at a 
time, with what seemed like an English lesson; in and out, sometimes with 
barely discernable audio, however it was fair on peaks. Best audio at 1316. 

Carriers were detected on 594, 693, 747, 972 and 1566. 

The few minutes of audio from JOUB was encouraging. I have been working on 
improving my antenna situation when I have not been dealing with health issues. 
It can be a bit noisy around my new in town location. I am looking forward to 
my ALA 1530LN which is on order. QRM improvement will be most welcome. 
Hopefully I can null out the IBOC hash from some of the locals as well with the 
Wellbrook loop. I will also be deploying an Elad FDM-S2 soon. That should be 
fun. 

Kudos to Gary DeBock also. I really enjoy reading about the evolution of FSL 
equipped PL380s and the subsequent performance results! 

Best of DX to all.

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 4/6/16

[d1028gary]

<<<  I was surprised to hear the ROK jamming station on 1053.  Has anyone ever 
reported hearing the North Korean they are jamming?   >>> 

Richard. 
    
Here was the 1053-Jammer's signal in Puyallup this morning (one of its better 
jam sessions all spring): 
https://app.box.com/s/pm82kt8hmymzxs587e3krbly5szm3z1t   
  
The usual TP co-channel with the Jammer here on the west coast is 1053-JOAR in 
Nagoya. I have heard Korean programming on the frequency (presumably from NK), 
but only once, and that was about 4 years ago during peak conditions. Chinese 
on the frequency is also fairly common, as heard mixing with the Jammer during 
this MP3 made at Cape Perpetua two years ago  
https://app.box.com/s/nvld5g2vhup50hdau3u01wfl0qycdono   
  
One of my Facebook friends (Chris Kadlec) currently lives near Seoul, S. Korea, 
and he reports that almost all of the major NK broadcasters are jammed there. 
It's unknown why the 1053-Jammer is so much more powerful than the others, 
especially with much more powerful NK transmitters on frequencies like 657, 
702, 819 etc.

Carriers were detected on 594, 693, 747, 972 and 1566.

The few minutes of audio from JOUB was encouraging. I have been working on 
improving my antenna situation when I have not been dealing with health issues. 
It can be a bit noisy around my new in town location. I am looking forward to 
my ALA 1530LN which is on order. QRM improvement will be most welcome. 
Hopefully I can null out the IBOC hash from some of the locals as well with the 
Wellbrook loop. I will also be deploying an Elad FDM-S2 soon. That should be 
fun.

Kudos to Gary DeBock also. I really enjoy reading about the evolution of FSL 
equipped PL380s and the subsequent performance results!

Best of DX to all.

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 4/6/16

[d1028gary]

Thanks for your TP-DX report from Oklahoma, Richard (and you are doing great 
for this time of year, especially so far inland). 
  
The morning TP-DXing session here in Puyallup was better than my April 4th 
session in Grayland. There were very strong signals from the Japanese big guns 
and 972-HLCA, plus quite a few other TP's with weaker signals from other areas.

Re: [IRCA] Coastal Master Logs (was: Re: 1152 at 15:00 this morning)

[Russ Edmunds]

There are the composite NRC IDXD listings which are downloadable from the
e-DXN site. These are complete insofar as loggings have been reported to
IDXD, but they do not include DXpeditions. There have also been many
reports from individual other DXpeditions published, many of which are
probably still available to be combined.

In addition, I have compiled a composite listing of all stations, MW/LW,
Foreign/Domestic including NDB's heard at all of the LBI Dxpeditions from
2001 forward to date, which I would be willing to share if someone wishes
to embark on such a project for the East Coast. Since it is set up in an
Access database, I can easily spin out a customized version covering only
Foreign MW & LW.

1269 appears in our Nick-Chuck-Bruce 2014 Grayland DXpedition report.


Yes, a coastal report would be nice. I've collected all the logs from Gary, 
Bill W and myself with the intent of adding a sheet to the Grayland Master Log 
and making it into a NW Coastal Log. When will it happen? Not real soon, as I 
haven't even gotten around to listening to most of my DX from 2015, including 3 
Rockworks trips plus a Grayland trip. 


Chuck
>>


DXers out west have the PAL and aforementioned Grayland master list but East 
Coast DXers have even less, at least in terms of some kind of unified reference.


Bruce Conti has a useful reference of his loggings at:
http://www.bamlog.com/2010decadebook.htm


He also has a DXpeditions section at:
http://www.bamlog.com/#Section5


There was a master log attempt for Newfoundland DXpeditions (Excel sheet by 
Jean Burnell) but I don't think that it is either (a) available on a website 
all can access, or (b) up to date, given that those DXpeditions are subject to 
the same delayed logging problems of the SDR age that apply out west.


Allen Willie in NL has several useful lists that can eventually be located by 
Googling.


European Medium Wave guide is still available ( http://www.emwg.info/ ) but 
there is nothing similar thoroughly covering Latin America / Caribbean stations.


Big problem is that, even though there may be a lot out there on the web and on 
paper, it's in about a dozen different places and, seeing how many stations in 
Europe have gone dark, often more of historical rather than 
currently-actionable value.
