[IRCA] 760 Brazil, others in tonight's DX
--- Begin Message --- Fortaleza, Brazil on 760 close to "inbooming" level at 8 p.m. EDT / 25 AUG ( UTC / 26 AUG) https://app.box.com/s/57lwo00ctc7l6nlqbx37wv2leew1hsff Has been louder right on the beach but this isn't too bad for a home-based reception with about 5 km / 3 miles of sandy pitch pine forest between here and the ocean on that bearing. Other recordings at about the same time: Mauritania 783, by far the loudest TA here at the time. https://app.box.com/s/e3xubihmo2hi58iykk0pgb6iyuv0wl69 Haiti on 840, almost a beach-grade signal with the "Dashing Through the Snow" electronic interval signal and ID in French. Less co-channel junk (Brazil, Cuba, etc.) than usual. https://app.box.com/s/s9tlsxgtzvyfq6t09pm3fal22zlv9zhd WIPR Puerto Rico 940 in the clear at 0001 UTC (had been tangling with Brazil 2 minutes earlier) https://app.box.com/s/47by5qay284kk5voqdudkskdxegbh449 Possible WIAC Puerto Rico 740 overtaking R. Angulo pest. Will submit audio to RealDX to confirm. https://app.box.com/s/qkbberkqz5r7k40imlxkx46b7sg3vbhd Other stuff noted but not worth grabbing audio since I have better clips from other sessions. 780 ZBVI Carib-accented man; fair peak. 690 presumed Fortaleza, Brazil with man in Portuguese slightly over mess at 0002 UTC. 940 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with man in Portuguese, hymn; in jumble at 2359 UTC and succumbing to WIPR later. 1020 Reloj Cuba dominant over other Spanish and less WINS IBOC hash than usual. Many "usuals" (Venezuela 750, Colombia 1170 through WFPB, Cuban pests, etc.) in. The capture gave me something more interesting to do than staying glued to the TV during a Red Sox meltdown of apocalyptic proportions. UTC is still proving to be "money" time for the Brazilians.

Hmm, could this be WHO barely on groundwave, or the Metroplex station? NO! I forgot that local 960 KGWA puts spurs on plus/minus 80 kHz, as so IDed at 1805 UT. The other one is more blocked by KRVN, and neither can be heard at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1157 & 1183 kHz, Aug 19 at 1757 UT, IBOC noiseblobs peaking here, i.e. out of KFAQ 1170 Tulsa. Had not heard any IBOC from them, day or night, for many weeks/months (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 740, Aug 25 at 1150 UT, looking for KTRH Houston on day pattern due to Hurricane Harvey, but can`t find it, even nulling KRMG. KTRH has sometimes come in before, without any hurricane. NRC Pattern Book reminds that day & night it`s nominally same direxional circle tangent toward SW down the coast; adding in nighttime a smaller lobe due east (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1130, Aug 19 at 1758 UT, weak signal of music? too weak to be KLEY nearby Wellington KS; also inferior to 1120, 1140 and 1150 stations. KLEY had been AWOL earlier, came back, and may have been off for some time again, not checked for recently. 1130 KWKH Shreveport would not be playing music except incidentally during sports talk. There is another possibility, 25 kW direxional daytimer KTMR Converse TX (Houston market), listed last year as Spanish religion. Pattern is flattened with a null toward KWKH, of course, major lobes WNW/ESE, including some to the NNW, ourway. But really too far for daytime over-Texas groundwave, except maybe a remnant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) no, it must really be KLEY on reduced power.

[IRCA] 1710 kHz Peaches & Herb
--- Begin Message --- Peaches & Herb song "Reunited" being heard at 12:09 AM PDT on 1710 kHz. Signal is very weak with peaks of S-2. Best on North-South longwire. Tried to use the KIWA loop to get a direction, but not even a het on the loop. 08/25/2017 Best regards, Dennis Vroom, Kalama, WA JRC NRD 545 --- End Message --- ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
[IRCA] 558-6WA on the Warpath (Until Silenced by Fiji)
For those interested, this was the overwhelming signal from the extreme long-range Australian 558-6WA (9,126 miles/ 14,687 km) from 1325-1328 on August 22nd at the new "Oz Hill" DU-DXing hotspot in Lincoln City, OR. The "Nightlife" ABC programming content (matched to the ABC website) is regarding Jerry Lee Lewis. 6WA does great until 558-Fiji shows up toward the end of the recording to silence it. This freakishly strong recording was made with a hot-rodded CC Skywave Ultralight and an 8 inch (20 cm) diameter FSL antenna (the "Richard Allen FSL" model). Such modest gear obviously is getting a turbo boost from the ocean side hill location. https://app.box.com/s/2rc1wlt6p8uhvpszfbunce75g2ul51f2 73, Gary DeBock (DXing in Lincoln City, OR) ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
