[IRCA] Good conditions to the east

[Nigel Pimblett]

  The east hasn't been favoured here this season, but this is likely 
the best night thus far to the east from here in southern Alberta. 
Toronto is doing pretty well on 740, "Uptown 1010 (WAUK) is on top on 
1010, and WMVP is atop 1000, all for the first time this season.

Gary,
Thanks for your help on my unknown receptions this morning. The DU's this 
morning were poor. This season has produced different DU stations than in the 
past. 
  Best regards,

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your daily TP-DU reports from Kalama.

<<<    765 UNKNOWN, 10/04 1404 poor DU signal with talk.    >>>  If the talk is 
not in English, you probably have 765-Kahungunu, an overachieving 2.5 kW 
Maori-language station in NZ. It is // 603-Waatea, and has been heard by Nick 
several times in Victoria. It acts like a big gun at the "Kiwi Cliff." 
<<<   1026  UNKNOWN, 10/04 1411 poor Du signal briefly    >>>Most likely 
classic rock format 4MK in Mackay, Australia. It was near S9 at Lincoln City, 
OR in August. The 2 kW Kiwi Newstalk ZB (// 1035) is an outside chance, though. 
It is a regular on the cliff, and has been heard by Nigel in Alberta. 
<<<   1025  UNKNOWN), 10/04 1413 poor DU signal.   >>>(I think you mean 1035)  
Almost certainly 1035-Newstalk ZB, one of the most powerful Kiwi big guns.   
<<<   1503   UNKNOWN, 10/04 1419 poor DU signal.    >>>  This is usually the 
Kiwi Radio Sport network, another of the NZ big guns which is an ocean coast 
regular.

[IRCA] Ready to DX very soon in the Finnish Lapland?

[Mika Makelainen]

Here's a unique once-in-a-lifetime offer to foreign AM DXers. Are you 
interested in DXing in the Arctic DX paradise of Aihkiniemi in the 
Finnish Lapland with some local help? Can you leave for a week of DXing 
at a short notice?


If so, read on. DXing in an entirely new location can be very 
challenging, because it is difficult to know what antennas to use (we 
have 13 1-km-long Beverage antennas), when to listen to which directions 
and how to interprete the changing propagation conditions. Learning it 
all is sooo much easier if you go there with someone who is already 
experienced in the Arctic conditions.


Now there is a possibility that one of you could join me for a week in 
Aihkiniemi from October 28 to November 4. I would be able to personally 
guide you to the secrets of Arctic DXing, and I can promise you an 
unforgettable DXing experience, whatever the space weather happens to be.


I'm one of the founding members of Aihkiniemi, which was built in 2010. 
This is the first time in these seven years that anyone of us is making 
an offer like this, although the cabin is and has been open to foreign 
DXers to rent and to explore the AM band on their own, and many have 
taken advantage of that opportunity.


Here's the thing. I'm going to Aihkiniemi already on October 21 for two 
weeks of intensive AM DXing. Fellow DXer Jim Solatie will join me, but 
it looks like he needs to leave before the first week is over. In that 
case there would be room for another DXer for one week. I will be 
traveling back to southern Finland on November 4, arriving by train in 
Helsinki in the morning of November 5, so that's when the fun will be 
over. These dates are fixed.


So how much would it cost? You would be paying:
- half of the weekly cabin fee (250 out of 500 euros) plus expenses when 
we go for shower in nearby premises

- half of our return trip costs by car and rail from Aihkiniemi to Helsinki
- your own groceries, meals and other personal expenses
- your travel to and from Finland, naturally ;)

What kind of a place is it? You can find out everything here: 
http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aihkiniemi_dx_cabin_for_rent.dx


Aihkiniemi has the antennas, but you would need to bring your own 
receiver(s), hard drive(s), earphones, an antenna splitter and the 
necessary cables, all-weather clothing, bedsheets and other personal items.


Consider seizing the opportunity if you:
- already have several years of AM DXing experience
- are healthy and fit enough to walk for miles in the Arctic terrain, 
checking the antennas
- don't have a major snoring problem (the cabin is small and we are 
sharing one bedroom)

- are flexible and fast in making your travel arrangements
- your equipment don't cause RFI (electrical interference)

You would need to fly to Inari/Ivalo in Finland or to Kirkenes in Norway 
on October 28. I would pick you up at the airport, and after the 
DXpedition, you would be departing from Helsinki on or after November 5.


If this sounds great, then please be in touch with me, and depending on 
how many interested DXers there are, you could be the lucky one. Don't 
make any firm plans or reservations before a confirmation from me.


I just returned from my previous DXpedition to Aihkiniemi last weekend, 
and here's my report: http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aih72rep.htm 
 
- might be useful to know what to expect. I need to point out that I 
already have thousands of verified AM stations from both east and west 
so that if you have less, you can count on getting numerous new stations 
no matter what the propagation conditions will be. Expect the 
temperatures to range from +10 C to -15 C.


DXing in Lapland has never been as easy as this. Interested? :)

I'm not following these mailing lists regularly, so email me directly 
(and not on mailing lists) to express interest or to ask questions.


(Don't share this publicly, but you can share this info with a limited 
circle of fellow DXers in your country/club.)

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

[d1028gary]

Thanks for your DU-TP report from the cliff, Guy. A DX-chasing session at that 
sweeping ocean view site is a great way to start the day :-) 

<<< 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. >>> 

Tom and I had our best Rockwork 4 results ever in August, with multiple western 
Australians and other exotic DU's. Hopefully the great propagation will show up 
for you, also!

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.

I listened from 1117 to 1255. A het was all I could muster from 1098 this 
morning. I think audio was close for a minute, but ultimately couldn't quite 
get there. DU hets were also heard on 774, 1116 and 1611. Asian hets were heard 
on 594, 693, 747, 828, 1008 and 1566. The only audio present was weak audio 
from JOUB, 774.

[IRCA] S. AZ TP/DU, Oct 4

[Steve Ratzlaff]

Lots of hets over low/mid band today; 1566 HLAZ again with a number of 
good-level fadeups. I've discovered that the Japan NHK network stations 
play 3 pips and a longer chime at top of hour. The pips are a lower 
pitched "A" note with the chime the same A note played an octave above 
(the chime is the A above middle C on a piano). The chime fades away in 
several seconds. Since I don't receive TPs very well here, I amuse 
myself looking for the TOH chime in my recording--often the chime is 
heard with nothing else. And the chime is often heard with nothing from 
the lower-pitched pips. (South Korea also plays the same pips and chime, 
even the same pitch--you'd think maybe they'd use a different pitch!), 
but the chime is cut off and doesn't fade away, and a short orchestra 
jingle follows the chime--so with careful listening South Korea can be 
told from Japan just from the chime.) Today I heard a station on 558 
with 1300 TOH chime, except the chime wasn't at the A note but at the C 
note (above middle C on the piano). So I wonder which station this might be.


558 unknown, 1257 very poor talk;  TOH (1300 utc) chime at "C" note, not 
usual "A" note for JJ stations, very poor


567 Japan 1300 pips and chime then talk

594 Japan very poor talk 1240

666 Japan very poor/poor talk 1317

729 Japan 1300 chime

774 Japan 1300 pips and chime then talk very poor; 1319 very poor/poor talk

828 Japan 1300 chime

846 Japan 1300 chime faint

873 Japan 1300 pips and chime; 1320 very poor/poor talk

891 Japan  1241 very poor/ poor talk; 1300 pips and chime; 1331 talk

972 S Korea 1300 chime faint

1143 Japan 1302 very poor talk

1197 Japan 1300 chime (not a network station)

1314 Japan 1248 very poor talk; 1257 talk very poor; 1300 chime then 
talk. (Not a network station)


1566 S Korea HLAZ, a number of good fadeups for sync detector 
lock--1232, 1240, 1242, 1307, 1313, 1319, 1323, 1327, fading out after 1344


1611 Australia brief fadeup with man talking and music very poor 
1306-1309 utc, very poor. The DKAZ is much superior to the 900' E/W 
longwire for this--nothing at all on the longwire.

Both 60 Hz spikes around 1098 carrier here in IL again this morning. This
is something I hadn't notice until a week or so ago. I guess somehow the OC
is picking up 60 Hz hum.

I wonder if V7AB is now putting out their full 25 kW? Seems stronger than
last season to me.

The strength of V7AB lets me know the Hawaii would be reasonably easy if
one of their reasonably strong stations drifted a few KHz off freq for a
while. But this hasn't happened to my knowledge during the 45 years I've
seriously been in this hobby.  73 KAZ 35 miles NW of Chicago

[IRCA] UNID 1080 Mexican is XETUL Tultitlan Mexico!!

[Robert Ross]

I listened to my recording a few more times and did some Digging on the Net and 
found a Posting from my Pal SAUL CHERNOS of Toronto that IDs this station for 
me!!!

I listened to the 2nd Anthem on my recording and it is NOT The OAXACA 
Anthem…..even though they sound quite similar.

So….what I heard this morning is 1080 XETUL Radio Mexiquense Tultitlan, MEXICO.

I'm glad I did more detective work on this and Found Saul's Earlier 
Posting……..Cleared this up immediately!!

** MEXICO. 1080 unID Mexico - mystery second anthem --- Have a clip 
from 1080 at 0659 EST [1159 UT] from Dec 22. I know it's from Mexico 
because I was working my way up the dial checking for anthems which I 
believe run at 0600 local time in Mexico (as well as  local time). 
What's striking is there's a second piece of military march style 
music immediately afterwards, and I think it's the same station as one 
ends, there's a second of silence, and the next one begins. My hunch 
is the second anthem is a state anthem from Mexico, or perhaps (less 
likely IMO) even a municipality or perhaps even a second national 
musical score. I've cut the Mexican anthem to the last bit - enough to 
make it identifiable as an anthem. About 8-10 seconds in is the start 
of what I believe is the second anthem. A second clip has some talk I 
heard, with rooster crowing, moments after the second anthem ended.

Any ideas on this one? It's my first ever from Mexico here on 1080!

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

[Neil Kazaross]

KATK IDed yesterday 1152.:The station you can leave on all day for
America's Best Music, KATK 740 The ??? (certainly didn't say The Hippo and
this seems a slight format change from oldies).

Today in passing KONA 610 good, CKST clobbering WHO. Regular DU's only
at maybe bare audio levels. I expect I will be quite happy with my 1200
recording for domestics.

Do you think Star 657 is undermodulated compared to some? With WSCR IBOC
off a few days ago, carrier was constant SAM lock and often 30 dB above the
noise floor. A clear 10 dB more than need for some non slopped DU audio,
but I could only barely tell the soft mx was Christian.

[IRCA] UNID Mexican on 1080 Khz…..Possible XEAX Oaxaca??

[Robert Ross]

>From the 0700 EDT ELAD Recording  today……..Didn't hear any call letters to ID 
>this….but this is what I think it is……

Has anyone heard this station or know if they play BOTH the  Mexican and Oaxaca 
Anthems???

***
1080  XEAX Radio Formula (PRESUMED)  Oaxaca, MEXICO  Oct/04/17  0659 EDT  SS   
FAIR
NO ID heard on this one….but it all seems to fit both the Format and the Local 
State Anthem.
Female with EE Pop/Rock Music @ 0659-0702 EDT. Into Mexican Anthem with Vocals 
@ 
0702-03. Then into the Oaxaca STATE Anthem with Vocals @ 0703-05 EDT.
I checked the Oaxaca State Anthem online and it matches up. Faded after Anthem 
so no Talk or Calls 
heard.

Does anyone receive this station with enough regularity to confirm they play 
the Oaxaca State
Anthem after the Mexican Anthem???

UNID for now…..But looks like it could be them.

ROSS, ON.

[IRCA] Morning commute 4-Oct-17 -- opening to the West

[Mark Pettifor]

A few times a year, when I'm tuning around on the car radio, there will 
be a good opening to the West. This was one of those mornings. Here's 
what I had time to hear (about a 25-minute commute):


850 KOA Denver CO - 1130 UTC
ID at BOH then news; fairly common when my commute is around local 
sunrise


940 CJGX Yorkton SK - 1133 UTC
Local news, talk of a stadium being demolished, then ID of "GX94", then 
into country music, faded quickly after that. New log I think!


1070 KNX Los Angeles CA - 1137-1141 UTC
no call sign ID hrd buts lots of local ads: financial seminar(s) in 
Laguna Beach and Pasedena; jewelry ad for the Jewelry Exchange in Tustin 
w/phone number 714-something; counseling ad; hrd Los Angeles several 
times.


1160 KSL Salt Lake City UT - 1131 UTC
IDs at BOH then news; not as common as KOA but also hrd when my commute 
is during local sunrise.


Wish I had time to just pull over and DX on days like this!
