Aaron -


The Latrabjarg cliffs are among the most famous in the world and there is a 
road and parking lot just at the edge of the cliffs.

Say hello to all the puffins for me.

Subject: [IRCA] Looking for Iceland cliff recomendations

So this might be a longshot, but I'm going to Iceland for a week long
trip - driving around the entire country.  And I'm wondering if there
are any good DX cliffs with decent road access (as I won't have that
much time for setup).

I know there is only 3-4 hours of "night", but I'd love to log Greenland
for the first time or other MW stations.  I'm bringing a Tecsun 880.

Any suggestions?

Aaron

[IRCA] TP 14 July Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

A better morning than yesterday, still all DU, with a number of 
carriers near audio, and quite a lot of reasonable carriers overall 
on unusual channels such as 1152 and 1359 .




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:


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)


603 R. Waatea, woman talking, very  weak but //765, 1212UT
612 woman talking  DU English inflection 1218UT
765 R. Kahungunu, woman talking, very weak but //603, 1212UT
774 man talking, DU English inflection, sports of some kind?  1212UT
891 man talking, sports broadcast?, almost certain was DU English, 
but not very strong, 1117UT

1098 slow vocal music 1057UT, Marshalls?
1503 man talking, DU English inflection, 1216UT


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


nothing seemed to be Asian;
594 756 828 855  909  963 1386   seemed to be DU



best wishes,

Nick

Hi Kraig,

I am listening to KZNE on 1150 at present, they are carrying a baseball

There was a spot where a female came on and mentioned "Thank you for
listening to sports radio 11-50 and 102.7 FM"
I hope this helps!

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 890, Friday July 14 at 1600-1614 UT, KTLR OKC with 
reactivated `Broad Spectrum Radio`. Easily heard here in daytime coverage area, 
but not on alleged FM // 103.7, which is really K279CR: how can that exist with 
100 kW rimshotter from Anadarko KVSP on 103.5?

James Branum of BSR notified us yesterday he was resuming produxion starting 
with this weekly quarter-hour on KTLR, so I make a point of listening, altho he 
has already posted his rough script at
http://broadspectrumradio.com/2017/07/14/bsr-oklahoma-magazine-show-from-broadspectrumradio-com-july-14-2017/
whence it may also be downloaded. Notable excerpt:

``The new vision of the BSR project will revolve around 4 principles: 
Solidarity, Socialism, Spirituality and Science.

Let me explain a bit more about each of these 4 S’s…

First, by Solidarity, I mean the idea that this is not a neutral media outlet. 
BSR does take sides, and we seek to be on the side of the oppressed, the 
marginalized and the forgotten, both locally and around the world.

Second, by Socialism, I mean the idea that I first heard expressed by the 
National Lawyers Guild, that human rights should have primacy over property 
rights, and hence our economic structures should exist to serve human needs and 
not human greed.

I also should say for those who are scared of this particularly "S-Word," that 
my kind of Socialism is grassroots, democratic, and to the extent possible, 
nonviolent in nature.

Third, by Spirituality, I mean the idea of "a sense of connection to something 
bigger than ourselves" and the "search for meaning in life."

Spirituality does include religion, but it includes more including the arts, 
music, literature, as well as some of the secular forms of spiritual practice, 
such as non religious meditation.

And finally, by Science, I mean the quest for knowledge by way of the 
scientific method, but I also more specifically seek to explore the citizen 
scientist concept, the hobbyists and other individual experimenters who work 
independently and/or collaboratively in discovery. And because of my own 
interests, I will especially look at science through the eyes of the DIY/maker 
culture, particularly in the areas of ham radio, shortwave radio listening and 
related hobbies.``

He plans to resume SW with a monthly one-hour show by end of July. No details 
yet but previously employed WBCQ, WINB, and two mini-stations in Germany and 
Australia. 

Welcome back, James; I endorse your worldview and urge to provide such 
programming to counter all the crap, especially on US SW.

And also on KTLR! Earlier at 1134 UT they had a talkshow with Angie & Malcolm, 
americaoutloud.com making fun of Al Gore and his ``brand`` of Global Warming.

** MEXICO. July 14 at 1110 UT, I happen to awaken, and instead of immediately 
turning over for another two hours, I turn on and tune in for some long-missed 
sunrise skip (SRS) from México, since my sunrise is not until 1125 today. As 
for SR in various Mexican cities, incredibly, 
http://www.gaisma.com/en/dir/mx-country.html
includes a number of locations one has never heard of, but omits decent-sized 
cities like Los Mochis, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc (and not even Chihuahua capital!); 
but safe to assume their SRs are considerably later than mine. Good conditions, 
with only an occasional lightning crash, not nearby. First a quick bandscan 
from the bottom finds SS probable XEs on: 540, 560, 610, 640, 650, 660, 690 
(two, despite KGGF), 720, 780 (under Pete 94-3, Stillwater), 790, 800 (vs 
KQCV), 1030, at least. Specifically: 

710, July 14 at 1112, Low German preacher about Jesus, a dead giveaway for XEDP 
as logged with him many times before. Now it`s on-frequency with no het, while 
I had noticed the 710-minus het in bedtime bandscan circa 0600 UT. By 1125 
recheck he`s done, over to a YL DJ in Spanish, plus ``La Ranchera de 
Cuauhtémoc`` jingle. This one is listed as only 100 watts at night; yeah, sure. 
As previously researched, they switch between two different transmitter sites, 
one of which is significantly off-frequency.

650, July 14 at 1117, Los Mochis ad at tuneby, so XETNT as expected.

790, July 14 at 1119, Spanish news about Nuevo León. One thing for sure, there 
is no 790 XE in NL, but in a bunch of other states.

770, July 14 at 1126, ``Sinaloense`` state song, 1127 ID for ``Grupo Chávez 
Radio, su radiodifusora local, la voz de esperanza``; 1128 TC for 5:29; ``Los 
Cuarenta``, rock music. This is XEREV also in Los Mochis. The ``40`` brand has 
dropped ``Principales``, which was really a cumbersome translation for ``Top``. 
We should not assume that La Voz de Esperanza is a real station name now altho 
they did utter that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

[IRCA] Looking For: JRC NRD 535D

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

I had one over a year ago but had to sell it when it sat around for 6
months because I couldn't use it due to my location.

There is one on ebay from a great seller, but the display has faded out a
bit, says so in the listing.

I would love to buy a JRC NRD 535D for a reasonable price if someone has
one for sale, can pay by paypal.
