[IRCA] TP 11 May Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Mostly Asia today, and pretty good for nearly the middle of May


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


1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1203UT, briefly at this level.   Note that 
this isn't the Japanese pattern that points to us (unless they hit 
the wrong switch in the control room).   In fact, the broadcast did 
show a boost at 1230UT, but only from non-existent to weak; local 
sunrise is 1237UT here



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


828 JOBB man in Japanese 1140UT //747
1323 CRI woman and man in Russian, leading into a Chinese flavored 
violin solo, 1145UT






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



747 JOIB man in Japanese 1139UT //828
774 JOUB man in Japanese, woman mentioning NHK 1058UT
972 HLCA man in Korean 1151-2UT
1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1125UT


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)


702 man and woman talking DU English inflection 1211UT
1017 acoustic guitar music, island vocals 1138UT; Tonga on late?
1089 NHK2 penny whistle solo punched through the splash //774 at 1125UT
1116 woman talking, DU English inflection
1206 woman talking, Korean inflection, likely Yanbian 1141UT, also 1152-3UT
1314 woman singing oriental flavor, 1135UT
1386 NHK2 man talking //774 1130-1UT, fading up nearly simultaneously


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


945 963 1008 1053  1107 1197SAH 1242  1269 1503 seemed to be Asian;
567 603 612 882 891 909 1098 1116 seemed DU


best wishes,

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, May 4-11, 2017

[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

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:

[over 215,000 views! as of May 11, 2017]

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

** OKLAHOMA. 1420.0, May 10 at 1224 UT, CBS Sports Radio // 1390 KCRC Enid, of 
which this is the long-standing spur. Usually it makes an audible het with real 
1420 stations, but either accidentally or deliberately, KCRC has tightened up 
the spur so that now it only makes a fast SAH. Ditto the other one on 1360.0. 
Also makes it harder to detect the second-order much weaker spurs at 2 x 30 kHz 
above and below, i.e. 1330 & 1450 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)



** U S A. 540, May 5 at 2056 UT on caradio, KDFT Ferris [Metroplex] TX in 
Spanish giving a 214 AC number, and somewhat above KWMT IA, on daytime 
groundwaves via caradio about 15 miles north of Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, May 10 at 1220 UT, ``This is KBXD, Dallas`` ID loop with 
percussion repeating every 9 seconds --- a DXer`s dream! No more longer loop 
offering station ``for rent``. Does this mean they got a bite but not yet 
digested? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1877, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1630, May 7 at 0129 UT, S9+15 of dead air, loops for KKGM Fort Worth 
TX, my closest and usual dominator. By 0132 UT I make out a bit of music, maybe 
KKGM just barely modulated. Format is gospel. Sounds like English, so not KRND 
WY; 0143 UT now some talk under, presumably KCJJ IA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1700, May 7 at 0129 UT, Spanish play-by-play of a game involving a 
pelota, mentions Colombia, so KKLF Richardson TX ``Banda 13`` is a sports 
station at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

[IRCA] Fwd: [mwcircle] Radio in the Bush: Special Report

[Nick Hall-Patch]

From Mike Terry via MW Circle...it's about 
domestic radio, just not North American or European domestic radio

What radio content do Aussies in remote areas listen to and why?
Are their listening habits different from people in regional and metro areas?
Radio in the bush explores the radio listening 
habits of people living in remote and very 
remote Western Australia (WA). The ACMA 
undertook the research in 2016 to examine the 
role of AM radio in the contemporary communications environment.

Highlights of the report include:
Radio rules in the bush—remote Western 
Australians spend significantly more time 
listening to the radio (13.9 hours in any given 
week) than does the nation as a whole (8.6 hours).
AM radio on the road—residents of remote WA 
spend 6.9 hours listening to AM radio each week, 
more than double the regional and national 
levels (three hours each). For almost 
two‑thirds of this time (4.5 hours), they're 
tuned to AM radio while in the car—compared to 
an hour nattionally and just under an hour (0.9) regionally.
Local ABC radio a key community service—62 perr 
cent of remote Western Australians would tune in 
to local ABC radio to get up-to-date information 
in an emergency, after the Bureau of Meteorology 
(74 per cent), and fire and emergency services 
(72 per cent). The most commonly reported 
sources for local news include the local print 
newspaper (52 per cent), social media (40 per 
cent) and local ABC radio (38 per cent).
Radio 
in the bush—A study of radiio listening in 
remote Western Australia is available on the ACMA website.
