[IRCA] TP 6 July Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Gary and  I were certainly DXing from different countries this 
morning, but we may as well have been on different planets.   Here, 
there were no Zedders, though Tahiti did well, but the Asians were 
the best they have been in a couple of months.



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


738 Tahiti, very unusual music, fast bass line under a harp-like 
instrument,  1211UT, then  into bluesy horn instrumental
1566 HLAZ child talking, woman agreeing, presumed Chinese, though the 
child's sing-song voice would have made many languages sound Chinese; 1125UT




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



the above passing through


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



1287 JOHR woman in excited Japanese, commercial? 1117UT




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)


774 woman talking, Japanese inflection 1122UT, no possible parallels just then
828 JOBB woman talking, then man 1115UT, one high pitched phrase was //1386
1053 Korean jammer 1124UT
1332 man and woman talking 1125UT, woman in particular sounded Japanese
1386 NHK2 synchros woman talking, 1115UT, brief sequence of words //828



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


 702 747 972 1116 1179 1314  1503   1593



best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 7-6 (Preliminary)

[Tony Ward]

Great going Gary, and thanks Chuck, The timeline for any change is of the order 
of months probably, and perhaps resisted by Rhema. I have been to the site 
twice now. My late brother Chris who passed away in December was Scientist for 
DOC based in Gisborne and we visited the area for its fascinating Geology 
several times and wonderful coastal landforms (among my own research 
interests). from Feb - June we were in NZ, and travelled 12000 km in both (but 
mainly South) Island, but it has been too hectic since our return to report so 
far.

Rhema’s single mast is easily enough visible on Google Earth’s (current) 2011 
imagery at 39d05m53-2s South, 177d 57m 10S east, and overlooks the sea from an 
elevation of about 88 metres. It gets out a lot better than Ngati Poru radio I 
can tell you. 531 from Auckland, now on the Henderson antenna site with many 
other stations, two masts, gets out very well throughout NZ. I will get 
organized and post some antenna images. Delighted to find Radio National Napier 
still using the old flat-top (dipole) I remember photographing as a kid about 
65 years ago…

I'm getting a carrier with faint talk on 730.  Normally I would have 
fully readable audio.   CHMJ is obviously using much reduced power (or 
else it's something else altogether).

[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 7-6 (Conclusion)

[d1028gary]

What started off as a pretty mediocre session ended up with a turbo boost in 
Kiwi propagation, resulting in one of the wackiest ocean cliff mornings in 
recent memory. It was almost like someone turned on a switch at 1220, giving 
every New Zealand station on the band a serious energy surge. The exotic Kiwis 
on 576, 585 and 936 suddenly came out of the noise to reach respectable levels, 
after having been MIA since the start of the trip. The only problem was that 
there wasn't enough time to go after all of them before the wacky propagation 
collapsed around 1300. 
  
Although the "sleeping squatters" left Rockwork 4 alone this morning it seemed 
like exotic DX would do the same-- at least for the first hour of the session. 
Four mega-FSL's were all set up and ready to record, but Longwave from the 
South Pacific was again dead, and only the Kiwi big guns had any readability on 
MW (and even they were sounding anemic). High priority frequencies like 558 and 
729 were barely registering carriers, and as if to rub it in some splatter from 
a domestic 530-TIS station was dominating 531. Suddenly around 1220 the Kiwis 
seemed to get a resurrection call, with Tony W.'s 684-Rhema suddenly coming up 
out of the KNBR splatter to sound pretty healthy at 1231. The NZ big guns on 
702, 1035 and 1386 started pounding in at awesome strength, and a check of the 
rare 936-Chinese Voice (1 kW) at 1243 found it with music and speech at a 
decent level. The Rare Kiwi rush was on, but checking the parallels for low 
power stations like 576-Star and 585-Radio Ngati Porou takes time, and time was 
running out on sunrise enhancement. 576 (the "Dwarf Star") and 585 were logged 
for the first time on this trip, but by 1250 the Kiwi turbo boost was starting 
to collapse, and only 738-Tahiti was holding up at a potent level. 702-Magic, 
1035-Newstalk ZB and 1386-Radio Tarana managed their best-ever signals for me 
during this freakish surge, which would have been legendary if it had continued 
throughout the entire session. 
  
531   PI   Auckland, NZ   Good-level Samoan male and female speech at 1205 
(with trace of 4KZ underneath). This frequency seems to have its own special 
propagation, often running contrary to the rest of the MW band (there was no 
Kiwi propagation surge)

[IRCA] CHMJ 730 to return to air

[Eric Floden]

from Northwest Broasdcasters:

http://nwbroadcasters.com/index.html

here in Vancouver's hippy west end (Kits) it is on but poor on my
lounge-style hi-fi (1990s era JVC blaster)

ef
Vancouver

*07/06/16 - AM 730 CHMJ  Vancouver is expected to
return to the air later today or early tomorrow after engineers retuned a
standby antenna on the downtown TD Tower
.
 Tower 4 at the main Burns Bog transmitter site was cut down around 12:20
p.m. Tuesday following a structural engineering recommendation and safety
considerations.  An insulator failed, plunging the tower off its base and
30 feet into the bog.  The main building, common point building and tower 2
have been saved, but three tower huts were destroyed in the blaze.  The
wildfire that broke out Sunday morning is now 100 per cent contained.  *

Re: [IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 7-6 (Preliminary)

[d1028gary]

Tony and Chuck, 
  
684-Rhema sounded pretty healthy this morning around 1231 with its Christian 
contemporary music // 594 (during the onset of a Kiwi propagation surge). It 
usually struggles to get out of the San Francisco splatter (KNBR is a daytimer 
at the cliff). I think most of the DU-DXers have logged this several times, and 
Rhema Media is always on the hunt for more frequencies.

Take a look for R. Rhema Gisborne/Mahia 684 KHz Gary. The land on which this 
magnificently sited antenna sits has been sold and the new owners want it 
removed asap! I have some images of it in April this year.

[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 7-6 (Preliminary)

[d1028gary]

This morning's "Cliffhanger DX" session was one of those bizarre events that 
started off sounding pretty mediocre but suddenly shifted into awesome Kiwi 
propagation. As late as 1230 only the NZ big guns were managing any energy, but 
a dramatic surge in Kiwi propagation kicked in around that time to bring 
obscure signals on 576, 585 and 936 up out of the noise, and boost several big 
gun Kiwis into legendary strength. Unfortunately the stark turnaround happened 
pretty late in the session, probably leaving quite a few exceptional signals 
unnoticed before a general propagation collapse around 1300. 
 
Full details and MP3's will be posted later. 
  
73 and Good DX, 
Gary DeBock (DXing at the Rockwork 4 ocean cliff near Manzanita, OR)
