Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/3/16

[mark]

I remember hearing a Colombian on 660 back in the 80s on a SE beverage, 
on a DXpedition in the Indianapolis area with Chuck Mitchell (now SK) 
and Jon Williams. I also remember hearing Radio Coro from Venezuela 
(is/was that more of a network, than just one station?) on 1210 around 
the same time.


I keep seeing a carrier on 1039.62 from time to time in the evening, 
which I'm assuming is La Voz de Carabobo, Valencia, Venezuela. Haven't 
heard any audio yet too much splatter from whatever station happens 
to be on 1040 (usually WHO or some SS station to my south).


I've always liked listening for Latins, both on AM and shortwave. I 
guess I like the music. It was always a good day to wake up to La Voz 
del Llano blasting in on 6115!  :^)

[IRCA] TP 3 Oct Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

I wonder what caused that propagation collapse?   Essentially, things 
became "normal"JOUB and HLAZ at good strength on and off from 
about 1230UT onwards, several other regulars at poorer strength (all 
Asian), then by around 1400UT, 4QR romped around for a few minutes, 
and that was it.


Well, possibly I needed to catch up on my sleep...

best wishes,

Nick




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


 4QR, JOIB JOUB, JOBB  all got here at various times, though not 
consistent by any means; sometimes 3LO would climb on top of JOUB, 
other times the reverse.


576 2RN jazz, then man talking //1512 at 1253UT
702 2BL man in DU English 1321UT, // 774, 612



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


594 JOAK various times, still there at 1416 with Japanese talk
756 RNZ National jazzy vocal 1156UT, also heard well at 1254 and 1351UT
891 5AN? man in DU English over JOHK 1245UT; assumed this, as had 
heard ABC fanfare at 1230UT

1116 4BC 1322UT, man in DU English, eventually,  4BC ID


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


549 2CR light music  //702 and 774 1252UT, other times also.
585 7RN jazz //576  1254UT
603 R. Waatea ? island vocals 1318UT, but no sign of 765
675 RNZ National man talking //567 1334UT
693 JOAB two men  //828  1336UT
738 2NR man talking //702 1251, 1357UT
837 RNZ National man talking //675 1409T
846 2RN  jazz //576 1249UT
855 part mystery, part ABC. countryish music 1330UT, not //702 or 
612, though there were also men talking that seemed //702 at times, 
plus fanfare at 1400UT.

873 JOGB //774 1407UT, Japanese  talk
1287 pop music 1410UT, assumed JOHR



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  man mumbling for quite some time DU English inflection, then 
into rhythmic music, maybe an island flavor?  1315-18UT

603 2RN jazz //576 1320UT, so Waatea? didn't last long here
621 3RN jazz //576 1252 and 1351UT
639 RNZ National.  man talking, DU English inflection 1337UT, //675, 
thought there was an offset making it confusing,  then into rhythmic 
music, of which there were traces on 675 and 756.   New here
657 light music not //612 1353UT; Star?  Needed to null 669 splash to 
dig this out

837 RNZ National man talking //675
882 traces of soft music 1310UT, Star?
936 man talking DU English inflection 1303UT; noted again 1359UT, but 
faded by the hour

954 man talking, maybe Japanese 1411UT
1233 2NC man talking //612, briefly in 1230 splat at 1411UT
1242 man talking, Japanese inflection 1410UT, bit of a Japanese 
resurgence after 1400UT

1512 2RN, jazz and man talking //576 1254UT, nice surprise in splash
1548 4QD man talking, woman on phone, creeping through 1550 splash 
and //702  1320UT


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



  558 864 909 1098 1107 1143 1386  1503  1566


best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] Latin America DX western US/Canada (was: Oklahoma TP DX 10/3/16)

[Chuck Hutton]

So right I don't understand why this is such a mystery to the east 
coasters. Aurora geometry and land path and bearing to DX = bearing to 
interference explains it all.

Subject: Re: [IRCA] Latin America DX western US/Canada (was: Oklahoma TP DX 
10/3/16)

I think that the westerners lack of enthusiasm for auroras is
generally poor results when one occurs.   Possible reason is that the
aurora has to be quite intense to affect us, as our geomagnetic
latitude is further south than the eastern and midwestern USA.   An
aurora that wipes out midwestern interference for easterners is also
going to start to block paths from say Venezuela to the Pacific
northwest.An aurora that shuts down reception of the still
dominant eastern clear channels  for eastern DXers, allowing southern
DX to get through, has little effect on our principal interference
sources here, which are from the south (San Francisco, Portland
etc.)   Our interference from Boise, Calgary and Billings, MT is just
not that important in comparison.   As someone said once to me in
Vancouver, BC, when you face north, the next city of any size is St
Petersburg; there is just not much interference up that way.

So, we're  spoiled here.   Compared with the east and mid west, the
band is not so full of powerful signals. However, what powerful
signals we have are all in the way of reception from Central and
South America, which is a fair bit further away than those locations
are from the eastern part of the continentmostly a land path too,
whereas your paths often involve water.And the aurora won't
affect them without affecting targets further south.

So, we'll just have to wait for split frequencies and continent wide
clear channels to return.

best wishes,

Nick

Exactly.  Anything in South America involves transiting North and Central
America with many, many co-channels, so no wonder S America would be so
difficult. Having said that, I don't actively pursue them, in any case.

affect them without affecting targets further south.


So, we'll just have to wait for split frequencies and continent wide 
clear channels to return.

My "two cents."  I'm always surprised at how auroras are not usually 
a cause for great DX enthusiasm out west and that so little

probably 4 times as many active DXers out there as compared to the 
northeastern USA and adjacent Canadian provinces.  (And you guys are 
often running better antennas.)

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 3 October 2016

[Nigel Pimblett]

   At first I thought something had happened to my antenna 
while I was away, but it seems it was simply that I coordinated my 
return with a tanking of conditions.  The only audio heard here this 
morning was from 4BC on 1116, noted at 1313 with their talk programming. 
 Carriers seemed to be exclusively of DU origin.

Other than a couple of Argentinian X-banders heard before the US band 
filled up the only country I've heard from mainland South America is 
Colombia.Like Kaz I find 1170 the most common, but have also heard 
810, 680, and 1000 in the last year or two.None of those appear to 
be on ideal frequencies from a Victoria point of view.  No luck here on 
Venezuala yet, and not through lack of trying.   Have had tentative on 
750, but that's as close as it's come.

Perry OK?  1100 Barranquilla can be had in AU and once in a while 760. The
deeper Colombians like 810 are quite rare. 1090 Blu Radio from Cartegena
has shown up a few times the past year in severe AU.

Caracas on 750 is the best YV bet behind WSB at times. Coro 780 gets out
well and you won't have the WBBM issues I do. Try at sunset or even earlier
to hope to reduce Mexican QRM.
1110 Carupano can be heard but is rare. 910 can have the YV's Rumbos chimes
sometimes in AU.

They used to come in, during the 80's, at such goofy levels you would swear
they were a domestic.

And, of course, Cuba is a no brainer on medium wave (530 khz) which also (I
think) has Turks and Caicos on it -
that is, at times, in Victoria B.C. Canada car radio level on the west
coast.

Yea, so I guess there is more to choose from when hunting international

Colombia should be available on 810 as mentioned, also 650 and 690.
Venezuela is probably best on 750, but also 770 and 780. Those would
probably be the easiest SA countries from Oklahoma. Another option would

be

PJB-800 which also counts as SA.

Re: [IRCA] AM BCB DX………NEW COUNTRY # 38 ARGENTINA - Heard during AURORA

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Most likely cheating? It's a strict daytimer, no night power at all so it
is cheating

This station has been a giant turd for over a decade and has never amounted
to anything to stayed on the air for more then a year at a time

It is on the air being reported by Bill Dvorak at night most likely
cheating. I still have yet to hear it.

Mark I have 5 TB of Storage Space for my ELAD Recorded files, so I don't worry 
about the size of the recorded Files…what they are,  is what they are. Usually 
once I have extracted what I need from them, I trash the Files…..I don't keep 
them for Posterity. I barely have enough time to review them all , so the less 
work I can create for myself the better. I know some people have Files from 
Years ago, that they haven't even reviewed yet!! I like to hear them, review 
them, report them, and Trash the Remnants!! I'm getting too old to start a 
collection of Recorded Files. 

If you don't don't have a lot of Storage Space for files, your milage may 
differ…..

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/3/16

[Neil Kazaross]

Basically every mile you head west from the east coast in the US makes S.
Am. harder to log. Here in IL my south DKAZ can usually dig up HJNW 1170
every night but that is the only regular. Perhaps KFAQ could be looped from
Perry OK?  1100 Barranquilla can be had in AU and once in a while 760. The
deeper Colombians like 810 are quite rare. 1090 Blu Radio from Cartegena
has shown up a few times the past year in severe AU.

Caracas on 750 is the best YV bet behind WSB at times. Coro 780 gets out
well and you won't have the WBBM issues I do. Try at sunset or even earlier
to hope to reduce Mexican QRM.
1110 Carupano can be heard but is rare. 910 can have the YV's Rumbos chimes
sometimes in AU.

Re: [IRCA] AM BCB DX………NEW COUNTRY # 38 ARGENTINA - Heard during AURORA

[Chuck Hutton]

Russ:


Since Mark mentioned recording the entire band (rather than just one station), 
I'm thinking he wants to reduce the file size of the recorded band, not the 
audio.

Besides, who worries about audio file size unless emailing them around?


As for reducing the file size of the recorded band, you're pretty much stuck. 
It's by nature not very compressable.

Re: [IRCA] AM BCB DX………NEW COUNTRY # 38 ARGENTINA - Heard during AURORA

[mark]

I managed to use up a ton of disk space recording the AM band overnight 
from 0226 UTC to 1241 UTC (Oct. 3), continuous. Lots to listen to of 
course. I haven't gotten any TOH recording schedules set up yet. I 
*really* need to get those set up...


Speaking of disk space, is there any software out there that gives you 
control over the sampling rate (to help reduce file sizes)?


How do most of you schedule your recordings? (TOH, BOH, +/- a few 
minutes each way?)


I'll share later (when I get more time) some of my AM DXing memories 
from decades ago (late 70s, 80s).

When I am in Kona (almost every year) the Marshalls on 1098 put in a
massive signal -- with, what seems like, 60% modulation (or even less)

it is an energy saving strategy because the Marshalls are 100% powered by
diesel generators.

Pretty much the same for Tonga.

On September 19 WCNF filed a Notice of Resumption form with the FCC. It said 
that the station had commenced operation on September 18. The license would 
have expired on November 2 if it hadn't returned to the air.

Re: [IRCA] Latin America DX western US/Canada (was: Oklahoma TP DX 10/3/16)

[Mark Connelly via IRCA]

The following sites give a fair approximation of what is heard here on the East 
Coast - Bruce Conti's stuff and my stuff in the New England / eastern Canada 
region.

http://www.bamlog.com/2010decadebook.htm
http://www.bamlog.com/2014peidxped.htm
http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/doc1/audio_aug_to_dec2015.htm
http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/doc1/audio_march2015.htm

How much of that applies to the West Coast is anyone's guess.  Obviously what 
domestic interference is on what frequency will change things up.

Even around here going from a beach site to a few miles inland kills off a 
remarkable amount of stuff.  Brazilians and sub-equatorial Africans tend to 
"fall off the cliff": 40 dB down 40 miles inland in the optimum period 
immediately after sunset.  Closer countries such as Colombia have better inland 
penetration.  The 760 RCN outlet gets heard all over the place, at least well 
into the Midwest when aurora suppresses WJR.  I think that's the only South 
American I bagged on numerous business trips to El Paso, TX in 1986 and 1987.  
In '86 with a Walkman on a flight over Dallas-Fort Worth I did get 800 PJB 
blasting over XEROK.  I guess Bonaire counts as South America.  Colin mentioned 
Caracas.  750 is the biggie there.  The other often-good Venezuelan (at least 
here) is Radio Coro on 780, a station that frequently ID's in a boisterous 
fashion that cuts through the crud.  

Richard Wood in HI did pretty well to targets on the western coast of South 
America - Ecuador, Peru, Chile, etc. - including stations uncommon in the 
eastern states.  But again we're talking water path, just a reverse-TP one.  So 
his old logs (in old DX Monitors?), besides likely showing a lot of gone-dark 
stations / splits, may not be all that useful to DXers in Seattle etc. in 2016.

My "two cents."  I'm always surprised at how auroras are not usually a cause 
for great DX enthusiasm out west and that so little non-Mexico Latin American 
activity is ever reported even with probably 4 times as many active DXers out 
there as compared to the northeastern USA and adjacent Canadian provinces.  
(And you guys are often running better antennas.)

Mark Connelly, WA1ION
South Yarmouth, MA 

<<
I remember that! And I have been thinking about it all week.

If you are Mark Connelly living on the east coast and have a water path to
Brazil it is a breeze, No so much for the rest of us!

In the 70's (and living in Victoria B.C. on the West coast) I heard
Colombia on 810 one night when KGO was off for service.

The only other, I think, was Caracas - cannot remember the frequency.

Nick Hall-Patch has heard Ecuador on 760 Khz (which may be a good bet
still...) and he will jump in if I flubbed the frequency.

It is 25kw during the night and 100kw during the day - so it offers one of
the best bets.

Heck, if I can hear a 5 KW New Zealand station (I know, across water and
all...) then something from S.A. must be possible.

Jump in anyone!

PJB on 800 khz almost counts as a domestic! :-)

They used to come in, during the 80's, at such goofy levels you would swear
they were a domestic.

And, of course, Cuba is a no brainer on medium wave (530 khz) which also (I
think) has Turks and Caicos on it -
that is, at times, in Victoria B.C. Canada car radio level on the west
coast.

Yea, so I guess there is more to choose from when hunting international
stations within the continents.

I didn't respond earlier as I have no good sense of what the QRM might be.
Colombia should be available on 810 as mentioned, also 650 and 690.
Venezuela is probably best on 750, but also 770 and 780. Those would
probably be the easiest SA countries from Oklahoma. Another option would be
PJB-800 which also counts as SA.

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/3/16

[Nick Hall-Patch]

The '70s were another time for sure.  Partly it was that the clears 
hadn't broken down completely, and that there were split channels 
like 655 and 725,  but conditions were just different.   830 was the 
Ecuadorian I remember best, Huancavilca, and it was in regularly for 
a year or two.


But Colombia wasn't too unusual.  Venezuela was tougher but not 
impossible.  Surinam 725 benefited from the split frequency.   Don't 
recall any beyond that in South America, though I think Bruce Portzer 
and/or Phil Bytheway heard Argentina and Chile also.  But those were 
likely on long-dead clear channels.


best wishes,

Nick

It is 25kw during the night and 100kw during the day - so it offers one of

Re: [IRCA] Puyalluo, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-4

[R. Colin Newell]

Conditions in Victoria were exactly like Gary described - my session was
from 1315 to 1330 (no dedication whatsoever...)
and it was an immensely watered down version of yesterday with the
exception of some perkier signals on one, maybe
two of the NHK gunners.

The bonus was (yesterday I sweetened and heightened the flags and moved
 the VACTROL terminations to better spots on the antenna masts)
hets on 621, 639, 729, etc that were likely DU.

612 Brisbane sounded fair to midland during the session but did not have
the spritz that it did yesterday.

While watching the NHP fish barrel from the shower (doesn't everyone try to
DX from the shower?) I noticed a LSR surge
at around 1400 - 1410 where some secondary Japanese signals (like 1287)
started munching the domestic scenery...
OC on 1098 was at epic levels and some of the traditional DU channels lit
up a tad. Keep in mind that this was just observation of a computer
screen.

But like Gary said, it was kind of a pooped out session - a little flat...
like Donald Trump's hair less the mousse, gel and styling.

This morning's featurette - all 2 minutes worth -

I am REALLY intrigued as to what my TP AM Reception will be come winter
with 4pm to 11am darkness, my 2 longwires and me focusing on it more

If you Western Canada guys can do it and do it well, It should be
interesting for me.

[IRCA] New 1566 kHz Pulse Jammer Identified

[d1028gary]

Thanks to Mauno Ritola and the NEABI for their investigation of the new 1566 
kHz pulse jammer on HLAZ's signal during the Japanese service from 1230-1300 
UTC. 

According to the NEABI this is clearly a North Korean jammer, with a sound 
signature identical to that of the jammer used against 1467-KBS in Mokpo, South 
Korea. Although I have only received this jammer signal during HLAZ's Japanese 
service, the NEABI says that the jammer presumably is on 24 hours a day, 
jamming all of HLAZ's programs. 

So although this is a rather strange new TP, I suppose it will become a primary 
target among DXers here in North America. This was its "buzzing bee" signal as 
received at 1254 UTC on September 24 (the strongest reception yet here), 
interfering with HLAZ's Japanese service.

[IRCA] Puyalluo, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-4

[d1028gary]

In comparison with yesterday Asian signals took a nosedive this morning, with 
only a few big gun TP's managing to show up. And of those, only 1566-HLAZ 
sounded very healthy, prior to a dreary sunrise enhancement. 

First band check at 1250 revealed only a couple of Korean big guns on 972 and 
1566 having fair to good audio, with the NHK regulars all down in the noise. 
1566-HLAZ had some very good peaks just prior to 1300 but soon fizzled with the 
daylight, along with 972-HLCA. The Japanese big guns on 594, 693 and 1287 could 
only manage ghostly peaks around 1330, as even the 1053-Jammer stayed down in 
the noise. Altogether it was a very forgettable session.

QUESTION: For those of us in the Northwest and mid-west, what
are the current best bets for Central and South America on medium wave?

Gone are the days when Nicaragua was a regular on 750, Belize on 834
and (I think) El Salvador on 655 khz...

Thanks!

Here in IL things seemed promising but not as good as yesterday and then
everything took a big dump at 1148 an stayed weak thru 1200. Weak DU audio
on 594,702//738, and 828 was all I noted with any audio when tuning around
