[IRCA] TP 23 Jun Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Pretty much just Tahiti again, plus a squeak from New Zealand (maybe)


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


not very likely




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



738 Tahiti woman in French, then man 1138UT


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



the above, passing through




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)


756 just a bit of slow music, didn't hear any vocal, 1146UT





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


612 1017 1035 1386



best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Cheorwon, Korea Daytime Band Scan

[d1028gary]

For those interested, Chris Kadlec has posted a detailed AM band scan from 
Cheorwon, S. Korea, a city near the North Korean border about 40 miles NE of 
Seoul. This is copied from a Facebook post. 


Cheorwon, Korea AM Bandscan (Groundwave) -- 

Here's a daytime AM bandscan from Cheorwon, Korea, about 40 miles (90 min.) NE 
of Seoul and 85 mi. (3 1/2 hrs.) SE of Pyongyang. The AM situation here is 
pretty miserable. Only two locals exist here and you'd never know it by hearing 
them. Pyongyang has the strongest signals, and only 28 stations are even 
audible compared to 75 to the west in Incheon. 

** Two stations were off the air during this bandscan: 1053 Gimpo (jammer, 
which h ... ad just started with a bit of an intermittent pattern for whatever 
reason) and 1170 KBS Hanminjok 2, which is no doubt audible but is off the air 
from 1300-1850 every day. The scan was just before 1330 local time, catching 
1053 Haeju on its daily sign-off and 1080 (same tower site) on its sign-on. The 
scan was done in the park, but signals closer to Pyonggang (not Pyongyang, but 
a different city north of Cheorwon) are dominantly strong DPRK, including 729 
Sepo that was heard and may have not been on the air for the scan. Because of 
(rather unpredictable) security in that area and lack of time, I was unable to 
openly flaunt my radio as I was in the park. Take what you can get I guess.

[IRCA] New Loggings With New Radio

[Stan Horzepa]

I bought an ELAD FDM-S2 receiver at Hamvention. Slowly working my way 
through the manual and getting the hang of using the receiver.

WWRU - 1660 kc - Jersey City, NJ - 10 kW - 85 miles
WTTM - 1680 kc - Lindenwold, NJ - 1 kW - 162 miles

Also worked 4 new ones randomly tuning around:

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, June 17-23, 2016

[Glenn Hauser via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT` during EDT; when 
changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-04 UT period 
to the previous date by ELT].

Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S 
inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio as specified; IC-R75 
with E-W longwire; FRG-7 with NW-SE shortwire

These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also 
VHF/UHF, sometimes, utility, ham, which may be found in several archives 
without much delay, such as
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and 
publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open 
access: 
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page48

These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of 
USA, unidentified [if any], separated by === Within each, they are in 
frequency order 

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1390, June 23 at 0528 UT, first on a non-DX radio I 
noticed praise music in Spanish on 1380, obviously KRCM Shenandoah TX, R. 
Aleluya, still throwing its 22 kW day power toward us at night, as always --- 
but no need to avoid splash from local 1390 KCRC --- that`s because KCRC is 
off! And along with 1390, the nasty spurs perpetually putting hets on 1420 and 
1360. Very unusual for KCRC, instead of NSP = non-stop programming/no silent 
period (remember those?). So I concentrate on DXing something on 1390 itself 
from 0530 UT to 0550 UT, but nothing ever emerges above the pileup and even 
some splash from KRCM. Except with BFO I do detect one signal very slightly on 
the hi side of 1390, roughly E/W. Maybe better at SRS? Reawake at 1127 UT there 
is something with a bid of an edge in English talk, but still uncopiable. By 
1155 recheck, KCRC is finally back, blasting ESPN (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880, June 19 at 0436 UT, Spanish sermon backed by ranchera music, 
loops N/S on the PL-880, and fades from dominant to out; 0504 UT apparent live 
YL DJ praiser, ID in passing as R. Aleluya on 88.1, but on 880 this is really 
KJOZ Conroe TX. So it`s non-commercial? WTFDA FM DB shows 88.1 would be KQUE-FM 
in Bay City TX (Houston market) only 3.6 kW at 437m HAAT, must be on some TV 
tower. But co-channel on same frequency is its own KFTG in Pasadena with 700 
watts, and two translators of that! Aleluya`s only full-power 100 kW signal is 
89.7 KTYR Trinity TX; among a bunch of other FM and AM outlets. BTW, KQUE used 
to be call of a major English commercial FM in Houston (not AlbuQUErQUE). 

880 is one signal making it into my hotel room in Bartlesville OK (for one day 
of the OK Mozart Festival), where conditions are noticeably different than 
Enid, with KRVN NE normally dominant (or KHAC at right angle). KJOZ is 10/1 kW 
U4. NRC AM Pattern Book shows decimated night signal favors the west, and day 
pattern the north, so guess what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
