[IRCA] TP 28 May Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

One carrier todaythat geomagnetic burp took its toll.


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


no




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


no




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



and no




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)


not even here



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


nothing at any strength   seemed to be Asian;
1098 seemed DU



best wishes,

Nick

I remember DXing during an eclipse in 1963.  From where I
was in metro-Boston, the enhancement was most noticeable on the upper 
end of the dial with WKBW Buffalo, NY making a particularly strong 
showing on 1520 right next to local WMEX 1510.



 


There was another 
eclipse in the '70s that was not as close to totality and, as a result, 
exhibited less dramatic differences on MW versus regular daytime 
conditions.



 


I will certainly be running some SDR captures during 
the August eclipse even if this area is likely to be affected less than 
some other parts of the US.

I’m curious as to what DX-ers will be doing during the once-in-a-lifetime 
August eclipse.  How about sharing your plans?

 

I will have a D-Kaz oriented at 340 degrees from North-Central Minnesota, 
with an SDR recording 100 kHz to 1700 kHz.

I'm going to be in eastern Iowa on the 21st, stopping off on my way back from 
the Madison-Milwaukee DX Get-Together for a few days of DXing in either 
Davenport or Burlington.  Even though I won't be in the path of totality, I'm 
still looking forward to hearing what the AM AND LW bands are going to sound 
like for about a 1/2 hour before and a 1/2 hour after the peak at 1814 UTC.

 Thanks Jim.  Whatever does come out from that DXpedition will be of interest.  
Other than that we have 2016 DXpeditions in PEI and down-east Maine (Lubec) to 
work with for somewhat newer info and Allen's postings from Carbonear, NL for a 
current look.

 
Do let us know what you're hearing there in Orkney.  Not too much darkness 
around there this time of year however.

The Newfie stations such as 590 and 930 should be making a showing and maybe a 
few out of Boston and NYC.

531 here is almost always Algeria (// even louder 549).  Way ahead of whatever 
is second (which is usually Spain).  It's been several years since Faroes has 
been heard.

All fairly common from Cappahayden, when Perseii are in use.  We haven't been 
back there since 2015.  I'm only on day three from that week of recordings.  
For now Allan will have to be the "canary in the coal mine", revealing what 
might be possible elsewhere.  


Mark was after us to get out a quick report back in 2015.  With 5 minute 
recordings at top and bottom of the hour from about 1700 until 1000z each day 
it seems to take forever.  On the plus side careful scrutiny results in dozens 
of new ones.  Maybe I'll end up learning Portuguese this way?

Currently in the Orkneys.  Faroes 531 is a daytime regular here!

If there is one argument in favour of buying a SDR, this has to be it.
Fine and dandy using a conventional receiver, and follow a handful of
frequencies at best, and miss out on the eclipse, but why not enjoy the
eclipse, record the MW spectrum and listen later to each frequency and
watch it all unfold.  A no brainer, from my perspective!   I might even
also use my 2nd SDR to record part of the tropical band as well.   73,
Walt

Re: [IRCA] ECLIPSE DX-ING

[Volodya S]

|'m going to be outside, and not at the dials.  I agree with Sudipta.  With
the advent of SDRs, and with the very short window, the SDR recording the
MW spectrum makes all the difference, and should be a lot of fun to monitor
each frequency!   73,  Walt

Re: [IRCA] Newfie: Zillions of Brazilians

[James Renfrew]

All fairly common from Cappahayden, when Perseii are in use.  We haven't
been back there since 2015.  I'm only on day three from that week of
recordings.  For now Allan will have to be the "canary in the coal mine",
revealing what might be possible elsewhere.

Mark was after us to get out a quick report back in 2015.  With 5 minute
recordings at top and bottom of the hour from about 1700 until 1000z each
day it seems to take forever.  On the plus side careful scrutiny results in
dozens of new ones.  Maybe I'll end up learning Portuguese this way?

Currently in the Orkneys.  Faroes 531 is a daytime regular here!

Re: [IRCA] ECLIPSE DX-ING

[R. Colin Newell]

I've Dx'd during a 99% total eclipse --

It's amazing - the hair will stand up on the back of your neck as a moribund 
daytime MW band convulses and thrashes to life in the space of minutes.

In decades of radio listening, there's nothing like it.

With advent of SDR the things became very easy for eclipse watchers.

[IRCA] ECLIPSE DX-ING

[Mark Mobile]

I’m curious as to what DX-ers will be doing during the once-in-a-lifetime 
August eclipse.  How about sharing your plans?

I will have a D-Kaz oriented at 340 degrees from North-Central Minnesota, with 
an SDR recording 100 kHz to 1700 kHz.


 
Cheers!
