I second Gary's comments regarding our meeting. We enjoyed a couple of hours of 
very stimulating discussion regarding radios, antennas, propagation and 
DXpedition sites. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Gary and also appreciate the 
enthusiasm and expertise Gary brings to the hobby. I am very much looking 
forward to putting the new "baby" FSL through it's paces over the next few days 
and when I return to Colorado as well. More to come!

Best of DX

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-25

[d1028gary]

Thanks to Nick and Walt for their initial reports. I just finished a very 
enjoyable lunch with TP-DXer Craig Barnes from Colorado, during which we 
discussed all kinds of exciting subjects like antennas, propagation, and how to 
track down TP's with Ultralight radios and FSL antennas. Craig is an extremely 
fast learner, and he plans to try out his new 3.5 inch "Baby FSL" chasing TP's 
with his PL-310 and/ or ICF-2010 at Kalaloch, WA and Rockaway Beach, OR in the 
next few days. A photo of our meeting is posted at 
https://app.box.com/s/bgckffuk25nu2aajjik0co5bae9ol705 

The Japanese and Korean big guns were setting the pace again this morning 
during a session from 1300-1400, with 594,693, 972 and 1566 especially potent. 
As reported previously 657-Pyongyang and its bizarre programming hung around 
for practically the entire hour, along with some fair peaks from 738-BEL2. 
657-Pyongyang apparently has a somewhat reworked TOH routine, with a few 
seconds of soft female vocal music before the 3 +1 pips. As usual, the 3 + 1 
pips seemed much stronger than the TOH routine before and after the pips, and 
of course North Korea's "TOH" is on the half hour (apparently by order of the 
"Eternal Leader"). All the previous DX was received on an "airport friendly" 5 
inch FSL (which Craig and I plan to test out in Hawaii next month, TSA 
permitting). 

657 Pyongyang BS Pyongyang, N. Korea 3 + 1 time pip TOH routine at a fair level 
at 1330 
https://app.box.com/s/s8m9pjdvwy7ehgdmfo6nrwne6ha5nzi7 
Incessant stern-voiced female tirade at 1353, dragging on until she was 
thankfully silenced by the propagation crash at 1358 
https://app.box.com/s/18gh8btr9hx7wd6hpqzzxy3new1c9cfy

[IRCA] Radios For Sale

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

I'm selling 4 radios, not because anything is wrong with them but I just
need to declutter a bit, plus I haven't used some of them in months.


The radios come with NO accessories, no wall-wart power supplies and some
are missing battery covers.


$125 for a Sony ICF2010

$125 for either of the Grundig Sattelit 750's

$150 for the Sangean ATS909X


You will also pay for shipping, which will be $15 for the 2010 or ATS909X.
$25 for the Grundig 750


If you wanted to buy all of these radios, I'd be willing to deal.


No money order, cash or check. PayPal only.


No trades, I'm looking downsize some of the excess I've accumulated over
the last 16 months.


Would prefer to sell to someone in the 50 United States. Would sell to
Canada or the UK/Europe/NZ/Aus with the understanding the shipping would be
much more.

Re: [IRCA] philosophy of logging a new one

[Glenn Hauser via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
Since I am a frequent reporter of just barely audible carriers, often making 
assumptions on what they are, here`s my take:

There are formally no ``new ones`` for me, since long ago I distanced myself 
from the rat race of tallying up station/country counts, not only on MW but 
anywave.

I realize this is all that seems to matter to many of my colleagues, but my 
DXing is quite fulfilling for me, as I have no idea how many stations/countries 
I have heard on various bands, so each log stands on its own. Everyone may feel 
free to consider how likely my conclusions are to be right, but if they are 
wrong, it is not detracting from anyone else`s totals.

For myself, each clue, such as frequency offset, DFing (which many others don`t 
seem to do or be able to do with fixed antennas), and loads of previous 
experience, can add up to a near-definite log. I`m always open for any evidence 
to the contrary.

>From my geographical position, and not doing much antenna experimentation, I 
>realize I am not likely to get much audio from any TAs or TPs. So 
>circumstantial evidence will have to do.

Re: [IRCA] Alberta lack of TPs for 25 March 2017

[Volodya S]

Very nice Asian reception into Masset this morning. Highlight was 1584 with
bubble jamming. ? Iran, cochannel 100w NHK 1 often at good level. Not a
peep from DU and a modest post LSR enhancement. Indonesia on 90 and 60
meters exceptionally well heard. 73, from a sunny Queen Charlotte. Walt

[IRCA] Alberta lack of TPs for 25 March 2017

[Nigel Pimblett]

Yesterday was very minimal signals, but today went one step 
further, with no audio at all from TP/DU stations.   Plenty of DU 
carriers, especially on the lower half of the dial, but none that quite 
made audio.  Unusually the closest was on 567, not normally among the 
first tier here.

Re: [IRCA] Limited TP DX on the road in Pirt Townsend, WA

[d1028gary]

Hi Guys, 

There was decent audio here from the Japanese and Korean big guns from 
1300-1400, as well as a moderate but persistent signal from 657-Pyongyang. The 
latter stuck around for practically the entire hour, refusing to go away (or 
come up with better programming). 

657 Pyongyang BS Pyongyang, North Korea Incessant female tirade at 1343; almost 
enough to make you miss the Korean Jammer

See you for lunch soon, Craig!

at between 1113 and 1122 GMT.  There were traces of a signal from DU on 774 at 
1158 1212.  A carrier was heard on 1548 at 1221 fading away at 1226 sunrise.  
No signals detected on 612, 972, 1116, 1611 or 1701 when checked.

Re: [IRCA] 1053 Korea (all) off the air

[Chris Kadlec]

It is my understand that the frequency is empty aside from Yanbian during 
skywave. My sources in Seoul tell me that Haeju is off entirely - if there 
were an open carrier 60 miles away at 1,500kw, it would be very much 
noticed. As long as Haeju is off, Seoul and Gimpo have no reason to function 
at all. Yanbian is pretty powerful and would usually come in strong in the 
absence of the other stations (when the jammers started turning off after 
11:30pm instead of going 24 hours like they used to). They're probably your 
carrier if you see one, at least if you're talking East Asia. I personally 
never heard anything else on 1053.

Thanks Chris; I suspected that might be the case, as the beehive
jammer had been so regular here  before 1400UT.

But...has anyone left a carrier on?   I'm not hearing much audio here
(and usually it sounds like Japan if I do), but unless JOAR is really
