[IRCA] TP 12 Jan Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Several Chinese turned up this morning (but not some of the Japanese 
that Nigel heard), and there was a definite sunrise/post sunrise peak 
in the upper band


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


774 JOUB several times at this level
1566 HLAZ man in Russian 1638UT; believe it or not, this was when 
HLAZ' signal was strongest, well after local sunrise.




Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


639 CNR1 man in Chinese 1513UT; a couple of minutes earlier, when 
weaker, it had been noted //945

828 JOBB female ballad //774 1458UT
972 HLCA man in Korean 1458UT, fading down towards pips on the hour



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


594 JOAK man in Japanese //567 1503UT
693 JOAB woman and man in Japanese //774 1540UT
747 JOIB man in Japanese //774 1501UT
873 JOGB ballad //774 before the hour; woman talking in Japanese 1501UT
1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1517UT
1575 VoA "you are listening to the Voice of America" by man, 1600UT
1593 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1601UT



Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be 
guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music)


567 JOIK man talking //594 1503UT
603 woman singing ballad 1519UT; Korea?
837 JOQK man talking //594 1505UT
945 CNR1 man talking //639 1511UT
981 CNR1 man talking //639 1520UT
1098 woman talking, Chinese intonation 1508UT
1134 woman talking Japanese intonation 1508UT




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


 558 738 855 864 891 918 936  1089 1143 1179 1188  1206  1242  1251 
1269  1323  1359  1377  1386 1422   1458  1494 1503 1539 1557  1575 
seemed to be Asian;

 nothing seemed to be DU

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 12 January 2018

[Nigel Pimblett]

Steve called it correctly this morning, as today was even better than 
yesterday.   This week has seen the best spell of Asian DX seen here all 
season.  The lower band was about the same as yesterday, but the upper 
band was improved.  The peak seemed to occur well before our 1517 
sunrise, and indeed things were on the way down by 1430.


567	JOIK	Sapporo, JAPAN	Time pips at 1300, into talk by man in Japanese 
after that.


594 JOAKTokyo, JAPANWoman speaking in Japanese at 1306

666	JOBK	Osaka, JAPAN	Time pips at 1300, then man in Japanese.  This one 
was not as good as yesterday.


693	JOAB	Tokyo, JAPAN	Inferior to the other 'big guns' today, and not 
reaching audio until 1325.


738 unIDWoman talking at 1307, but too weak to be sure on language.

747 JOIBSapporo, JAPAN  Man and woman with English language lesson at 
1303  

774	JOUB	Akita, JAPAN	Man and woman with English language lesson at 
1304, //747.	


819 unIDMan talking at 1257, but too weak to ID language.

828	JOBB	Osaka, JAPAN	Man and woman presenting English lesson (talking 
about Sri Lankan Navy saving 2 elephants) at 1305.


873	JOGB	Kumamoto, JAPAN	 Much like yesterday, with bits of pieces of 
the language lesson making it through the splatter at 1414.


972 HLCADanjing, S.KOREAWoman speaking in Korean at 1309

1017unIDTraces of audio with music at 1417.

11164BC Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Woman presenting a commercial at 1316.

1134unIDTraces of piano music and man speaking at 1259

1278unIDJOFR? Very weak, but man seemed to be talking in Japanese at 
1443

1287JOHRSapporo, JAPAN  Woman talking in Japanese at 1330

1377	CNR1	CHINA	Woman in Chinese at 1446 audible during gaps in 1380 
splatter.


1386	NHK2	synchros, JAPAN	Time pips at 1400, short musical theme, then 
man and woman with language lesson.


1422JORFYokohama, JAPAN Traces of woman in Japanese at 1439

Re: [IRCA] TA hints

[Don Moman VE6JY]

just checked for any TA signs - nada at 0300.  The SM's and OH's were good
here last night on 160 and numerous JA's in our morning - evidence of which
came from the CW Skimmer here feeding RBN.  Things were considerably
enhanced over normal conditions.

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, January 6-12, 2018

[Glenn Hauser via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
All times and dates strictly UT [5 hours ahead of `ELT` during EST; when 
changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-05 UT period 
to the previous date by ELT].

Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S 
inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio as specified; IC-R75 
with E-W longwire. FRG-7 is no longer in use.

These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also 
VHF/UHF, sometimes, utility, ham, which may be found in several archives 
without much delay, such as 
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and 
publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:

[over 276,000 views! as of January 12, 2018]

These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of 
USA [if any], unidentified [if any], separated by === Within each, they are 
in frequency order

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1210, Jan 6 at 0104 UT, KGYN Guymon is blasting in 
obviously on day pattern failing to protect Philadelphia, ``The Big Talker, 
1210 KGYN``. I try nulling it and from right angle can hear a list of stations 
in the Rio Grande Valley, obviously the network including KUBR San Juan whose 
night pattern is supposed to have tight major lobe toward its west; and 
cardioid null toward WPHT in daytime (??), per NRC Pattern Book. I thought 
these might be reversed, but confirmed as such in FCC AM Query. In any event, 
we should not be getting so much signal from either station; together they make 
a heavy 160/minute SAH = 2.67 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

==

** U S A. 840, Jan 12 at 1400 UT, KTIC ID with temp minus 4, and ``Classic 
Country 98.3`` with translator call I don`t copy; NRC AM Log had it as K252EG 
West Point NE and slogan as ``Rural Radio``. The latter applies to a bunch of 
Nebraska stations including KRVN 880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1067 & 1093 peaks, Jan 7 at 0232 UT, IBOC noise is back out of 1080 
KRLD. Mark Sills in Dallas had welcomed its absence during December. DXers hope 
that CBS disposing of stations to Entercom would also lead to the end of IBOC 
upon them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1120, Jan 7 at 0227 UT, KMOX interviewing conductor Leonard Slatkin 
about the classical music world, surprisingly. Show is `KMOX Profiles` at 01-03 
UT Sundays, followed by the classic rock show deviating from news/talk, `Route 
66 on KMOX with Johnny Rabbitt`, UT Sundays 03-07 per sked:
http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/kmox-programming-schedule/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, Jan 12 at 1405 UT, Huron ads following ABC News, i.e. KOKK in 
SD; temps -5 F, windchill -24. Over KGYN OK easily nulled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1710 kHz, Jan 12 at 0706 UT, soft strumming guitar music, some pirate 
other than Bâton Rouge LA? 0710 UT announcement sounds like Spanish, and I hear 
a ``siete`` mentioned, perhaps referring to their FM frequency (not really 
busted and off?). By 0718 UT voice changes to something more strident, which 
would be the usual gospel huxter from Radio Retén lo que Tienes. Certainly 
holding on to what they`ve got, legal or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** U S A. 1810 kHz, Jan 11 at 0049, JBA carrier, seems to be pulsing a bit. Tnx 
to Don Moman for forwarding a current Topband thread about this, IDed as WKYW, 
Frankfort KY, 1490 kHz, oldies format, somehow radiating in the 160m hamband, 
with many hams on the case, hearing it much stronger all over east America 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Another thread figured it was someone 
relaying this station, and it was gone in an hour or so

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Jan 10 at 0714, just barely audible carrier from R. 
Kiribati, first time heard since Jan 5, believed to be sporadic (Glenn Hauser,

Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
