[IRCA] Victoria TA part 2

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Not a complete wash out this evening.  Two more audios, both a little 
speculative, and reasonably exotic.


1053 at 0401UT, a woman talking rapidly, sounded like Romania's R. 
Iasi stream, followed by music, somewhat later on the 
stream.   Nothing at 0400UT, became audible fairly quickly, but never 
anything more than just audible


1386 at 0405UT, man talking, slavic intonation; woman talking 
0411UT.   Both turning up at similar times on Swedish / Finnish 
kiwiSDRs, so guessing R. Baltic Waves Lithuania?


Lots of unusual carriers:

639 855 864 891 909 954 1008 1026 1035 1179 1278 1431 1458 1521 
(faded out just at Duba sunrise) 1593


best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] TP 6 Feb Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

The upper band revived somewhat today, but except for apparent 
Chinese on 1098, it wasn't a very exciting morning




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


1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1522UT




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



972 HLCA musical interlude, man in Korean 1509-10UT




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



774 JOUB woman in Japanese 1438 and 1506UT; pretty weak today also, 
even with staying on after 1500UT

1593 CNR1 man and woman in Chinese 1520UT; noted //6125 earlier




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)


594 woman mumbling 1510UT; presumed JOAK as pips had been heard 
weakly at 1500UT

747 JOIB woman talking //828 1512UT
828 JOBB as above
1098 man talking, Chinese intonation; not //6180 or 6145, so unlikely 
to be Taiwan




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

 639   918 945 1134 1206 1323 1422 1494 1503 1575 seemed to be Asian;
  576 612 738 792  846  1017 1098 seemed to be DU



best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Victoria TA

[Nick Hall-Patch]

The usual annoyance this evening of hearing a number of TA carriers 
in Victoria, with some occasionally quite strong , but never quite 
delivering audio.


Except 1575.   The unholy Iranian buzz jammer is making sure that 
Farda isn't heard (well, it wasn't being heard anyway).   This jammer 
is fading in and out, and sounding just like it does in eastern 
Europe, or if you're unlucky, on the east coast.


Audio.  From Iran; and that's it.

best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] TWR Bonaire Inaugurates 450 kW Transmitter

[Fred Nordquist]

Been checking AM 800 in early morning hours and so far
haven't heard a peep from them here in SE US, just a jumble of low power
radio station signals.  Could be their three-pattern radio broadcast 
transmission system

has a null in my direction?
Using a Walkman SRF M37V.

Just had a visit by a couple who just came back from Bonaire who
helped with the upgrade.  Also saw the live streaming of the dedication
service.

Has anone been able to pick it up in the USA?

Does it sound like the old TWR we heard in the 70's and 80's?

Thanks!

Re: [IRCA] TWR Bonaire Inaugurates 450 kW Transmitter

[Forrester S]

There has been numerous reports that it's been heard like a local, albiet
temporarily, in Indiana and a fellow Twin Cities dxer has heard it but weak
amongst a CHAB/CKLW/WDUX/KQCV/KXIC QRM. I have not heard of any reports
from the western great plains on west.
Their main lobe does go NNW. I would suspect they will be a super pest
during au cx as they were back when they had 500kw back in the 80s.
I haven't tried too hard because I do not need them and the night that I
did try WDUX was ravaging the frequency.
