Another one to have a look at. Looks like it's the only Kiwi X-band NDB.

For what it is worth, Tom Rothlisberger and I have logged TM from the Oregon

There is (or used to be) one such NDB in New Zealand's North
Island...'TM' on 1630 kHz at Taumarunui... about 175 miles/280km south
of Auckland... on the Main Trunk Line (an "in joke" amongst Kiwis).

I think Gary DeB. has heard KT/Kaitaia on 238 kHz, but that's coastal in
the Far North..

[IRCA] PNG X-band beacons

[Volodya S]

Further to studying the excellent resource you mention, Bruce (
worldaerodata.com), it's clear to me that the airport at Ust-Bolsheretsk is
closed.  The NDB is probably used for helicopter traffic now.  All this
discussion re NDBs got me wondering about PNG beacons in the X-band.  We
used to regularly hear GA in Goroka on 1725 and KUT, especially, on 1737
from Kumul Platform, but it's been years since I've seen any reports for
ANY PNG X-band beacons.  Is it that we're no longer looking, or that
they're gone (although all still listed in the website above), or that
they're no longer audible?   Anyone hearing PNG anymore???Walt

Re: [IRCA] PAL error?

[Volodya S]

Bruce, NDB are not always located right at the airport.  I know in Canada,
our CFS (Canadian Flight Supplement) lists every airport in the country,
along with all of the navigational aids, and where they are located.  VHF
VORs, are usually located some miles from the airport.  In the case of
Ust-Bolsheretzk, the only airport I could find is at coordinates 52.909271,
156.882535   That has to be an airport, but sure looks abandoned to me,
except that abandoned airports have X's across the runways.  This one does
not.  It had to be a former military airport with what looks like a lot of
dispersal areas to the south of the runway (a single runway, with a
parallel taxiway).  I'm assuming that the NDB is for this site.  Google
maps looks like there might be a tower at exactly 52.816696, 156.267171.
You can see the red/white tower, and perhaps another tower slightly to the
SE from it.  Shows up better on Bing maps (with shadows).   Good fun!

Re: [IRCA] Troubles at Tonga 1017

[d1028gary]

Thanks Theo, 

This provides some background information on the apparent disarray in 
1017-Tonga's broadcasting schedule last August (observed at Rockwork). On only 
one day out of four did the station sign off at 1103 UTC (as was fairly typical 
in years past), with three earlier or later sign offs. On one day (August 2nd) 
the station "signed off" at 1103 with the full choral routine, only to have the 
usual male announcer come back again at 1310 with his usual "island time" 
monolog, with no apparent sports event or other reason.

According to Worldaerodata.com it's Ust-Bolsheretsk.  The correction has 
now been made to my working copy of the PAL:)   The World Aero Data 
website gives the location as 52-49-00N 156-16-00E.  I haven't found a 
radio facility or airport near those coordinates in Google Maps, but the 
location is on the outskirts of a town labeled Ust-Bolscherezk.  Not 
sure if that's the place you found.


I believe Bill Whitacre recently heard this beacon at Grayland.

   Much improved on yesterday, with more audio, as well as stronger and

hasn't been the case for the past couple of weeks.

late this season.

audible with woman intervieiwing a man at 1336.


1584.02	Coast	Napier, NEW ZEALAND	Very weak with music at 1306, but was 
able to confirm song on web site.  It's almost made audio several times 
of late, but this was the first time this season to actually get any.



This list looks rather more impressive than was truly the case.  In many 
causes audio was fleeting, but as well as live DXing I had more time to 
check my recording than is typically the case during the week.  Having 
said that, it was still a decent morning, and much more interesting than 
yesterday.  The X-band didn't participate in the upswing though, with 
not much happening there today.

[IRCA] PAL error?

[Volodya S]

I recently posted a logging for my, I believe, first ever Aerobeacon in the
MW band from Russia heard in North America.  It was for UB on 907 kHz.  The
problem is that I don't think that PAL lists the town site properly.
Rather than Ust-Bolsherelsk, it may very well be Ust-Bolsheretsk.  Checking
Google Earth, I carefully looked at the entire Kamchatka Peninsula, and
could not find the PAL listed town, but rather Ust-Bolsheretsk, on the
south-west end of the peninsula, and sure enough, there is an airport
there, but sure looks abandoned.  Anyway, just a correction.  Small, but
I'm a stickler for details!   73,...Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
PS:  I also meant "UB" in my logging and not UT!

[IRCA] WMFN 640Khz - Peotone, IL

[amdxer]

WMFN 640 is running an OC.  I missed their testing with
audio a few weeks ago.  This afternoon I drove out to the
XMTR site.  It's too close for comfort, about 20 miles to
my southeast.  Their site is exactly where radio locator
has it, SW of Peotone, west of I-57.  Their nighttime
pattern shows a null in my direction.  We will see how
well it knocks down their signal when they commence
broadcasting.

Within a mile of the site there is an odd "pulse-sweep"
type noise noted on 630 and 650, roughly once per second. 
You don't hear any of this in the OC on 640.  At first
thought it might be radiating from the rural power lines
but it is heard on stretches of the rural roads in this
area that have no power lines.  Any ideas?

I snapped a few photos of the 4 towers for those who
collect these.  Let me know if anyone wants one.  The site
is in the middle of a corn field which is only partly
harvested, about a half mile from the nearest road.

Re: [IRCA] Islamic Voice Radio 1701.03

[Neil Kazaross]

Sydney tuner is here.
http://www.globaltuners.com/receiver/962-Sydney-HF-Raspberry-Pi-3 Often
someone on it, but they do have Voice of Charity strong, There also seems
to be no way to take a PFM, although I don't really know how to use that
tuner very well.

Those freqs posted my Mauno are very close to what I had here in IL (after
calibrating Perseus to WWV 5000) Oct 9 just after 1200 UTC when IVR was
audible with AA talk into mx with Koranic flavoring. This seemed to peak
about 10 minutes after LSR which seems normal here when X-band Aussie are
in.

There's also a weak carrier on 1701.00. I have no idea what that is, but it
also was noted on Melbourne SDR, and I think Nigel and maybe Tim have noted
it. Fortunately, on Oct 9 KBGG Iowa was weakening by then so not so much
slop.

It is fun to be able to chase 400 watt station more than 15,000 km away!
1611 is often a growly mess of many carriers competing to push audio past
that mess.

Islamic Voice Radio is the dominant one on the Melbourne KiwiSDR (

Radio Brisvaani is the dominant one on the Newcastle KiwiSDR (

listening in USB, at 1701.10 right now.

I could not hear Voice of Charity on either of these two remotes.

Kiwi SDRs are able to be GPS disciplined, so in theory, we should be able
to achieve good frequency measurements (to two decimal places), but I don't
know if all are locked down to a GPS by default, so let these serve only as
a reference point for now.

Don't forget that Chuck Hutton recently reported these offsets from two
years ago, and mentioned they are drift around a bit but the order doesn't
change:

1701.027 Islamic Voice
1701.068 Voice of Charity
1701.081 Brisvaani

The first and last are close to what I'm seeing on these two KiwiSDRs.

Radio Brisvaani is the dominant one on the Newcastle KiwiSDR (
http://www.marcelpost.com:8073/) and seems to be best, by ear when
listening in USB, at 1701.10 right now.

I could not hear Voice of Charity on either of these two remotes.

Kiwi SDRs are able to be GPS disciplined, so in theory, we should be able
to achieve good frequency measurements (to two decimal places), but I don't
know if all are locked down to a GPS by default, so let these serve only as
a reference point for now.

Don't forget that Chuck Hutton recently reported these offsets from two
years ago, and mentioned they are drift around a bit but the order doesn't
change:

1701.027 Islamic Voice
1701.068 Voice of Charity
1701.081 Brisvaani

The first and last are close to what I'm seeing on these two KiwiSDRs.
