[IRCA] S. AZ TPs, November 4 Monday

Whole band had good hets lasting long after sunrise this morning along with a couple lo-band with audio along with usual hi-band South Korea. No jammers were heard today, and yes, it's 1476; I've never heard anything but a weak het on 1467 (along with usual jammer on 1566). Sunrise 1410 utc.

Re: [IRCA] 846 kHz Radio Kiribati 0715 utc Japan 774 & 828 0740 utc
Hi Dennis, 846-Kiribati managed some audio here on the night of Colin's video, but despite the apparent power of the rejuvenated station, semi-local 850-KHHO makes it a pretty challenging catch here. For those who are curious about Radio Kiribati's programming, it was a major target during the April (2017) Kona, Hawaii DXpedition, and many recordings were made on its 1440 frequency. The following information and MP3 links are copied and pasted from that report, 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ___ 1440 Radio Kiribati Bairiki, Kiribati Because of its domestic frequency this obscure station is another of the toughest Pacific island stations (and countries) to receive on the Mainland, but some very helpful identity clues were discovered in Kona (where the station is a breeze to hear). The station routinely signs off at 0936 UTC each evening, with a very loud 1000 Hz audio tone right before it cuts power. The sign off routine includes station ID's in both the local language and English around 0932 prior to the choral music national anthem, although because of her heavy accent the fact that the female announcer is talking in English might well go unnoticed. The full sign off routine is included in the following MP3, preceded by an Island music number (during which a 1440 Spanish pest attempts a run on the frequency, only to be immediately drowned out) https://app.box.com/s/s9sgwesnmi3ljjf1fkuhlsb08st7ty5y The station uses a distinctive 4-bong time signal on the half hour, as in this recording made at 0929 UTC (at the 35 second point). https://app.box.com/s/ks6n49yjreqdykdu2am76jl7qqj9mvyu The American country music format can be heard prior to the 4-bong time signal. Prior to the sign off routine this station also uses its female announcer to give a final news update (like 621-Tuvalu). This recording is of such a news update at 0925 on 4-11, with several mentions made of the American president https://app.box.com/s/a1zx6jelrvhguyzjfy6b5dgwlfjfceij This station plays a lot of American country music (of all formats). Here is typical programming at 0912 on 4-11 https://app.box.com/s/fdtbl3tk01yz7u2y5lb7xyaaauc33km8 - Original Message - From: "Dennis Vroom via IRCA" To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Cc: "Dennis Vroom" Sent: Sunday, December 3, 2017 11:44:55 PM Subject: [IRCA] 846 kHz Radio Kiribati 0715 utc Japan 774 & 828 0740 utc ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

I ran out of time to report yesterday, but I logged some of the regular Asians, so better than the silence of Saturday.
