[IRCA] TP 1 Mar Victoria version
Not too much was strong today, even the Japanese big guns except for an early and brief appearance by JOUB. The DUs were doing OK at least in the low band, yet hints of Taiwan and China also. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 612 4QR man in DU English 1441UT 774 JOUB English lessons 1418UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 567 JOIK woman in Japanese 1420UT, //594 although at this time, JOAK was underneath 3WV 594 JOAK man in Japanese o/3WV 1422UT 828 JOBB lessons //774 1418UT 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1438UT 1575 VoA likely sounded like a SE Asian language by man 1440UT, better on north Flag 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 3WV man talking //612 1449UT 603 woman and man talking, but sounded more islandish than Korean; NZ? 693 JOAB woman and man //774 1418UT 702 2BL man talking //612 1422UT 738 woman talking, Chinese intonation 1422UT; had expected Australia with conditions just then, but definitely not //612, so listened more carefully 747 JOIB man talking //774 1426UT 756 man talking, DU English intonation 1431UT 891 JOHK music //594 1446-7UT 945 CNR1 perhaps; pretty mangled but sounded //6125, 1444UT; better on north Flag 972 woman talking, maybe Korean? 1419UT 1593 CNR1 man talking //6125 1441UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 558 819 936 954 1098 1134 1242 1287 1503 seemed to be Asian; 621 675 846 909 1008 1017 1098 seemed to be DU best wishes, Nick Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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] Alberta TPs for 1 March 2018
A totally different morning from yesterday, with the Aussies vanishing and the Asians taking over, though not really the usual Asians. 693 JOABTokyo, JAPANMan and woman presenting language lesson at 1429. 828 JOBB Osaka, JAPAN Woman presenting language lesson at 1405, //stronger 1386. 1314JOUFOsaka, JAPANMan in Japanese at 1359 1386 NHK2 synchros, JAPAN Woman presenting language lesson at 1405, //weaker 828. 1494 unID Came up to fair audio for a couple of minutes at 1406 with a vocal that had almost a country sound to it. By the time the woman announcer spoke after that it was too weak to make out anything. RSK Japan? 1575VOA THAILANDMan and woman talking in SE Asian language at 1357. An odd morning as signals would vanish completely, then return. The Japanese big guns were more like pop guns today, with 774 and 747 both missing, and 693 and 828 rather poor. The top Japanese was actually 1386. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta Perseus SDR and Wellbrook Phased Array ___ 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] LA DX from CO Report Correction
--- Begin Message --- The other night I thought I heard RCN on 800 kHz. Tonight's conditions were a bit better affording better reception on peaks. I heard RTM which is HRTM in Bogota, RTM an abbreviation for Radio Trans Mundial. I checked their website later and found the programming and announcers to be equivalent to what I recorded earlier. HRTM is not listed in the 2018 WRTH, so perhaps the station is wither new or affiliated with the recent TWR start up in Bonaire. It's nice to hear LA DX in CO on an ALA1530ln aided by the nice quiet amp in the Quantum Phaser. Best of DX!

[IRCA] Grayland DXpedition - Feb. 18-24, 2018
I made my 17th visit to Grayland, WA between February 18 - 24, 2018. Since the Grayland Motel closed a year ago I have had to find an alternative location for DXpeditioning. Such a place exists, albiet a bit more expensive and with a bit less land to work with, just a couple of lots down the beach called Casa Sea Esta - a HomeAway rental. For nearly the entire time I used a 160' DKAZ antenna aimed at 300 deg. true North errected 'beyond the berm' on the grassy area of the beach. Results so far are promising though I wish I had pointed the DKAZ a little further south given its broad back null and equally broad front lobe. I was not nulling Seattle & Vancouver, BC stations near as well as Portland. I'm just starting the wav file review process but the hightlight so far is Cambodia on 918kHz. There are also several Philippine stations in the wav files, including a new one for me on 1611kHz. Lots of Japanese and Alaskans round things out. You can see and hear what I have reviewed so far at the following webpage: http://realmonitor.com/am_logs_grayland17.php Bill Whitacre Alexandria, VA ___ 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
