[IRCA] Both DUs and TPs for Oct. 3, OR Coast

2017-10-03 Thread Guy Atkins
I'm only starting to review files for this morning from the Rockworks #4
site, but the morning was a mixture of TPs and DUs. In addition to 657 Star
Radio (Christian contemporary music, fair 1357) and 729 5RN (good @1355
w/USA journalist interview), I'm hearing a few snippets of English DU audio
on some other channels.

TPs from Japan predominated though--the usual, main NHK stations but also
weaker outlets like presumed JOQG Yamada on 1323 rising to a fair-good
level at 1406.

The view from the cliff as starlight gave way to a cloudless, sunny sky at
sunrise was just a prelude to today's 70-degree weather on the northern
Oregon coast.

Note to KAZ and Tim Tromp--I also saw the 60 Hz spike above 1098 kHz this
morning, but there was nothing below 1098. Perhaps if I had been recording
WAV  files earlier I would have seen the pair of 60 Hz tones.

73,

Guy

Can anyone find for me the Lat-Long coordinates of the old CBJ-1580 in 
Chicoutimi, Quebec?  I've used a Google search to try to locate them, but am 
coming up empty so far.  I'm interested in knowing how far (as the crow flies)

Re: [IRCA] V7AB 1098 OC with 60 Hz hum!

2017-10-03 Thread Neil Kazaross
DXers further east of us who can null WTAM while aiming antenna's main
beam W to WNW should have chances for V7AB as sunrise at 1130 moves further
east. On 740 I need the same K's as Tim. I need Texarkana but they are
silent so off the needed list LOL.

Not usual domestics this morn at 1200 were KNML 610 NM (very rare), KPOW
1260 WY (very rare) KCCF 1350 CO and KNAB 1140 CO (easy via SSS) but
shouldn't be on this early and had mx clearly earlier so not some 6 am PSA.

DU's audible at poor levels were 738 and 594 and a couple other just barely
maybes. So not so good for DU. Yesterday was lots better.

OK let me go see if I had KATK as good as you. Then more listening to
yesterday morning and hoping to pull enough audio on 585.  73 KAZ

Re: [IRCA] V7AB 1098 OC with 60 Hz hum!

2017-10-03 Thread Tim Tromp
Noted from West Michigan too, V7AB is now peaking here past their 1130 UTC
sign off time.  And as Neil discovered, a distinct 60 Hz audible hum can
easily be heard on their open carrier during big signal peaks and clearly
visible on the SDR.  Here's a nice Perseus screenshot showing that hum (the
+/- 60 Hz lines centered on 1098 kHz) during one such signal peak:

http://amdxer.com/spectrograms/1098_V7AB_1136_UTC_25SE17.JPG

No audible DUs heard this morning here, just the usual carriers.  One
interesting catch was 740 KATK from Carlsbad, NM. at 1140 UTC which hung in
there for about 10 minutes all alone until Baraboo, WI. blew it out of the
water a few mins before 1200 UTC.  KATK only logged two other times here.
I still need these K calls on 740: KIDR-AZ, KVFC-CO & KCIK-HI (I can dream!)

[IRCA] V7AB 1098 OC with 60 Hz hum!

2017-10-03 Thread Neil Kazaross
This carrier from the Marshall Islands was strong enough this morning at
sunrise (about 1150 UT) for me to hear some 60 Hz hum and also to see the
two carriers about 60 Hz to the sides of 1098.

If you want audio from this one you need to try no later than 1130.

Lots of carriers and snippets of audio - Listened from 1330 - 1335 UTC

Good carriers + Hets indicating potential:

I did not make the time to look mid-band.

Radio - JRC NRD525   Antenna - W/NW FLAG with VACTROL termination

That is a start.

All in all, a pretty pitiful season so far.

Re: [IRCA] Colombia 720 huge

2017-10-03 Thread Stan Horzepa
Thanks to Mark Connelly's post on Saturday, I logged Emisoras Unidas on 
720 at 2355 UTC yesterday. Emisoras Unidas is 2,121 miles to my south 
and those 2,121 miles represents my longest distance AM logging, finally 
topping my logging of Radio Americas on Swan Island (1787 miles) back in 
July 1967.


Equipment used was the ELAD FDM-S2/FDM-SW2 SDR receiver and the Hy-Gain 
18AVT/WB-A vertical antenna.

Re: [IRCA] AM BCB DX……….8 NEW STATIONS Heard + Aurora Conditions

Robert, surprised you hadn't heard XEB 1220 before.  You being such a
relentless DXer!  I guess you can probably see Cleveland's antenna from
where you live.  Jim Renfrew
