I can't really add much to the sentiments so far expressed about Paul.  It
was always a pleasure to meet him again at the conventions; he was an
interesting man as well as a great asset to the hobby.

best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] TP for 22 Sept, Victoria version

[Nicholas Hall-Patch]

As Dennis and Nigel mentioned, best Asian morning of the season, meaning
that I was finally hearing some second tier Japanese
stationsimprovement as sunrise approached, and little sign of DUs



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

774 JOUB  English lessons 1311UT
828 JOBB English lessons 1312UT
972 HLCA man and woman in Korean 1320UT


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


594 JOAK man and woman in Japanese 1310UT
747 JOIB English lessons 1314UT
1242 JOLF man in Japanese 1346UT; not as strong by 1400UT, but distinctive
cuckoo pips still recognizable
1566 HLAZ woman in Japanese 1322UT, another woman agreeing



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

693 JOAB English lessons 1313UT facing off the 690 splatter
954 JOKR assumed, two men in Japanese 1352UT
1287 JOHR assumed with woman and man in Japanese 1345UT


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)

558 HLQH man talking //603 1328UT;
567 JOIK man and woman /594 1313UT
603 HLSA  definite ID with distinctive chimes and pips 1300UT
675 rap music 1350UT not //NHK1RNZ National?
756 woman talking DU English intonation 1333UT
837 JOQK woman talking //594 1348UT
891 JOHK man in Japanese //594 1344UT
909 quiet music 1353UT; Star?
945 man mumbling, not //594 1355UT
1134 two men, Japanese intonation 1344UT
1206 man talking, Korean intonation, 1328UT, Yanbian likely
1422 pop vocal 1347UT


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

639 702 711 846 864  918 981 1053 1143 1269 1323  1386seemed to be
Asian;
819 1098 1386 seemed to be DU

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 22 September 2017

[Nigel Pimblett]

Results here were in line with what Dennis described - the best 
Asian morning of the season.  Mind you, the bar had been set pretty low 
here.  The Aussies did make a late appearance as well, so an interesting 
morning all around.



747	JOIB 	Sapporo, JAPAN		Good with man and woman presenting English 
lesson at 1250


774 JOUBAkita, JAPAN//747 with English lesson at 1251.  
Good level.

792	4RN 	Brisbane, AUSTRALIA	Fair to good with end of ABC news, then 
into a BBC arts program


828 JOBBOsaka, JAPANpoor, with English lesson //774 etc. at 
1258

972 HLCADangjin, KOREA,S.   Good, with man speaking in Korean at 
1252

1026	4MK	Mackay, AUSTRALIA	Poor-fair with Bee Gees song at 1316. 
Confirmed as being currently played on web site.


1098V7AB, MARSHALL ISLANDS
	Not as good as yesterday, but again noted at 1058 with island-style 
music, and news in English at the hour.


1386	JOQC	Morioka, JAPAN		Poor, //747, 774 with English language lesson 
at 1254


1548	4QD, Emerald, AUSTRALIA		Bits of ABC news noted through 1550 
splatter at 1303.


1566	HLAZ, Jeju,KOREA,S.		Fair to good, with 'What a Friend We Have in

Thank you Paul - as one of the younger DXer's in our fold, sadly you will
be called upon to report these things from time to time.

It's appreciated.

[Nicholas Hall-Patch]

I think I'd agree about the quality of the Asian reception, DennisI did
get some audio on 1206 here in Victoria, and there may be snippets on 1242
and 1287 in the recordings.  HLAZ on its Japanese program doesn't count of
course...is there interference down there for you?

Details later when time allows.

Re: [IRCA] another new one on my old one

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Hey Stan, I heard WWSM to the other day


Between about 615-645pm Wednesday September 20th, I had a few catches.

Distances between me and the station was about 175 miles.


I've heard WWSM 1510 Annville-Cleona-Palmyra, PA at sunset a few times, but
it's usually a mushy jumble of WLAC, WRNJ and WWSM. But last night, it was
quite clear at times with classic country music and the Westwood One Real
Country Network DJ, but missing station liners:

Here are two clips:

[IRCA] S. AZ TPs Sept 22

[Steve Ratzlaff]

Poor conditions this morning with only a couple with audio except for 
1566 HLAZ which rose to good levels several times. Lots of low and mid 
band hets but not quite to audio levels. No expanded band hets today. 
1098 het poor today. And the "mystery station" of 1566 is all cleared up 
thanks to help of Gary DeBock, Chris Kadlec and Colin Newell. No mystery 
at all, just HLAZ playing various programs being broadcast in Japanese 
to Japan, along with the occasional fadeup of the Chinese Yanbian 
station wih its "soft jamming" to try to keep HLAZ from being received 
in China.


594 Japan with pips and chime at 1300 TOH, no other audio heard, very poor

747 Japan very poor 1236 utc

774 Japan very poor 1250 utc

972 S Korea very poor 1228 utc

1566 S Korea very poor/poor 1232 utc; poor /weak at 1310 and 1318 utc, 
good for sync det lock briefly. HLAZ had a woman talking, then another 
station faded up with man talking, mixing with HLAZ, presumed the 
Chinese Yanbian station at 1320 utc. Eventually HLAZ was once again in 
the clear with the Chinese station gone. HLAZ was still audible at 1330 utc.

[IRCA] another new one on my old one

[Stan Horzepa]

Heard another new station on my old vertical antenna last night:

2300 UTC - 1510 kHz - WWSM in Annville-Cleona, PA  - 5 kW - country 
music followed by local eastern Pennsylvania news after the top of the hour


By the way, yesterday, I mentioned that I got "my 35-year-old Hy-Gain 
18AVQ vertical back on the air." That is wrong. It is a Hy-Gain 
18AVT/WB-A vertical and I bought it 37 years ago. (My very first antenna 
was the 18AVQ and I can't get it out of my mind!!!)


Good DXing!

If you need these ones in your log books, look for it at night. I’m told
these Daytimers have not been signing off

I’m also told the WXLZ owner/operator/engineer is very ill right now
something probably failed and there’s no one to look at it

It’s made more interesting by the fact WRLV had it’s license deleted in
April 2017.
