[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on Tuesday 10-17

2017-10-10 Thread Bruce Portzer
Conditions this morning were impressive, with the best TP reception in 
many months.  Carriers were present on nearly all 9 kHz channels below 
1000, with audio on many of them.  It wasn't quite as  good above 1000, 
but conditions were still above average.  TPs on 711 and 819 managed to 
briefly get a few syllables of audio past my strong locals on 710 and 
820.  Several Alaskans also made a showing.

Re: [IRCA] EUROTRIP 2017, PART 2

2017-10-10 Thread Mark Connelly via IRCA
--- Begin Message ---
Here are a few observations on the Part 2 report based on what I receive here 
on Cape Cod as well as what has been heard on numerous coastal DXpeditions in 
the New England states and Atlantic provinces.

The idea here is to put the loggings in a context of what you were hearing 
"close up" versus which things have the "oomph" to make it across the pond.

Pete, what did you log on that previous trip near Bermuda?  That would be very 
interesting as one of my antennas is beamed right into that area.  1280 seems 
the only active Bermuda now (heard here a few days ago).  Both the TA and LA 
scenes must be interesting there.

Re your Euro logs, part 2, and what I get:
252 Algeria buries the RTE station consistently.  No contest.
531 Faroes used to show up in the winter around 0700 UTC after the dominants 
(Algeria, Spain) hit daylight.  Not noted for several years now.
540 Could be Hungary?  No 540 TA's here in a long time.  CBT is right in the 
way on the east antenna.  If anything can make it, Spain seems most likely.
549 Ireland heard at Granite Pier (Rockport, MA) many years ago.  Seldom much 
else on channel than huge Algeria now.  Saudi occasional.
558 is typically Spain here amidst a lot of slop-over from 560 WGAN.
576 Spain // Canaries RNE fairly common.  Bulgaria to here is a much lossier 
path.
585 Always Spain on top.  "Stuff" under occasionally is probably Tunisia.
603 Spain here, little competition since France went away.
630 Tunisia most common TA.  Wailing cuts through the WUNO/WPRO co-channel talk 
at beach sites (e.g. Orleans) at sunset.  Portugal also on the channel, rare.  
Southwest UK should have a decent chance.  PEI or Newfie DXpedition guys will 
get it with CFCY long gone.
657 is Spain / Italy shoot-out.
666 nothing strong here, Portugal on channel and Iran a bit off.
684 Spain is loud at times and can power through the WRKO slop.  Several 
possibilities for the Arabic.
711 is most likely Western Sahara (occupied by Morocco), frequently huge 
carrier level but rather anemic modulation (like the 595 and 612 Moroccans).  
Dominant station since France went off.  Sometimes close to 711.0 nominal, 
sometime off as much as 711.11.
720 only TA that makes it here is Canary Islands RNE.  Used to get Portugal and 
Greenland once in a while.
729 only Spain.
756 usually Romania, not particularly strong.
765 very little on this channel here, I think that a Saudi or Iranian is the 
only thing in past 5-10 years.  Used to have Senegal and Switzerland monsters - 
both gone now.
819 Egypt for sure, can be good here, almost as good as the 864 Egyptian.  
Spain rare and Morocco seems to have left the party.
828 not much here thanks to WCRN slop, worse since the station went to music at 
night.
837 typically Canaries // Spain COPE.  Often good.
846 nothing here but I'm sure that Ireland is what you received.  Not much 
power on that.  Has been logged in PEI and NL and tentatively at Granite Pier 
with a tight phase null screwed down on 850 WEEI.
855 Spain is one of the loudest TA's here.
873 usually Spain SER // 1044 et al.  Occasionally something Mideast sounding 
behind.
900 RAI Italy logged well at a former family house East Harwich, MA.  Saudi 
also heard on channel a couple of places in MA.  Spain there too.  Not too much 
interference (mostly just WCME Brunswick, ME) at local sunset with CKDH gone.
954 is 90% Spain, 5% Qatar, 5% Czech here, more or less.
1062 RAI Italy fairly common.  Iran also in the mix.  Listening on USB to dodge 
1060 WQOM / KYW splash can sometimes get you into a blob of IBOC from 1080 
WTIC.  Safe-cracker-like phasing unit adjustment can sometimes salvage the 
reception.
1125 is 90% Spain, 10% Belgium.
1368 Manx Radio bagged a few times at MA beach sites.  WDEA slop can be 
problematic.  I enjoyed the station a lot on my 1977 trip to Ireland.
1377 little heard here since France said "adieu."  PEI and NL DXpeditions have 
had Tanzania.  Your Arabic might be an ethnic UK local or something actually in 
the Middle East or North Africa.
1413 Spain and Moldova the usuals.  I should try early winter UK dawn when 
those others are hitting daylight.
1440 Saudi the usual now that Luxembourg is gone.  Wailing // 1521 gets through 
the WRED / WVEI co-channel muck at sunset, at least at the beach.
1485 All SER Spain, fairly common if not particularly loud.
1521 Saudi when it's on, SER Spain the rest of the time.  1520 WWKB easy enough 
to null.  Would like to pull up China, as heard in NL (and here in the old 1525 
days).
1530 Sao Tome VOA (as in ' 
https://app.box.com/s/atzv8ez47cheifj4dul8tafld4uu1utg ') and sometimes Romania.
1566 TWR Benin occasional.  Huge slop from 1560 WFME NYC, 1570 WCCM MA & CJLV 
QC.
1575 Iran with jamming targeting UAE, I suppose.  Sometimes Spain and Italy are 
other 1575 players here.
1593 Romania here more than anything else.  Not that strong.  Occasionally 
Kuwait.  Not sure of status of the low power French station.
1611 has low pow

Interesting how different 760 is here 150 miles east of you Stan.

It's a veritable playpen of Latin American DX with Brazil, Puerto Rico, 
Venezuela, Colombia, and Cuba all making regular appearances.

WJR is often just a bit player in the tangle.

The other 760 domestic I get from time to time at night is WEFL Tequesta, FL.

<<
When I got to 760 kHz, there was WJR loud and clear as expected. WJR is
the only nighttime station I have in the log for 760. It is so dominant,
that I never expect to hear anything else. So I listened for their
station ID, which was followed by a pause and during the pause, I heard
the station ID for WETR in Knoxville, Tennessee transmitting 2.4 kW 703
miles to the southwest! WETR is a daytime-only station and this logging
was almost an hour after Knoxville sunset, but I'm not complaining!


Equipment used was the ELAD FDM-S2/SW2 receiver and an 80-meter inverted
Vee antenna.

2017-10-10 Thread Paul B. Walker, Jr.
Batteries in my Wellbrook ALA100LN amplifier controller go dead, ok that’s
normal. I replace them.


Plug in, and the light won’t light up.  I double check. Still won’t light
up. I thought the Wellbrook amp controller had broken somehow


Check the batteries and I had one in backwards switch it and the
Wellbrook amp controller turned on


I breathed a sigh of relief

[IRCA] new loggings

2017-10-10 Thread Stan Horzepa

LW/MW/AM band conditions were very good last night.


On LW, there were a slew of navigational beacons – all Canadian and all 
already in the log. But I did log a new broadcast station on 234 kHz at 
0255 UTC: Broadcasting Center Europe (BCE) in Beidweiler, Luxembourg, 
transmitting 1500 kW about 3,686 miles to the northeast. The audio was 
weak, but good enough to ID the station.



On MW/AM, I heard plenty, but all already in the log. So I replayed my 
 UTC top-of-the-hour recording and worked my way up the band 
recording any station identifications I encountered.



When I got to 760 kHz, there was WJR loud and clear as expected. WJR is 
the only nighttime station I have in the log for 760. It is so dominant, 
that I never expect to hear anything else. So I listened for their 
station ID, which was followed by a pause and during the pause, I heard 
the station ID for WETR in Knoxville, Tennessee transmitting 2.4 kW 703 
miles to the southwest! WETR is a daytime-only station and this logging 
was almost an hour after Knoxville sunset, but I'm not complaining!



Equipment used was the ELAD FDM-S2/SW2 receiver and an 80-meter inverted 
Vee antenna.
