[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 1 November 2018

[Nigel Pimblett]

No significant TAs to derail my report tonight, so here's what was heard 
this morning in southern Alberta.  The big surprise was a huge signal 
from CNR11 on 1098.  Overall it was definitely the best Chinese morning 
of the season.  The Japanese were rather lacklustre today, other than 
the big guns.  Most of the activity occurred midband from about 800-1200



567 JOIKSapporo, JAPAN   Weak, with traces of talk,and NHK pips at 1400

819	KCBS	N.KOREA	 Woman singing ('patriotic' no doubt) operatic style 
vocal at 1245


837 unIDTraces of man talking at 1354.  Seemed Chinese.

864 HLKRS.KOREATalk by man, musical bridge at 1311.

945 CNR1Music at 1359, woman and man in Chinese, them 5+1 time pips

954 JOKRTokyo, JAPANWoman in Japanese at 1312

963 CRI Man in Russian at 1346

981 CNR1Man in Chinese at 1336.

1017CRI Woman talking in Korean at 1347, CRI theme music at 1400.

1044CRI CHINA   Weak, with woman in Japanese at 1331

1089	unID	Man in Chinese at 1338, fair level at times.  Guessing 
Lianoning as heard years back.  Another station was audible underneath 
at times.


1098 - CNR11	Golmud, CHINAFirst noted faint singing at 1223, up to 
good level by 1242 with vocal by man. //SW freqs and Indian SDR

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cn43dvg74y8h6zy/1098_20181101_1257.mp3?dl=0

1098	unID	a second station with talk began mixing with CNR11 just after 
1400.


1107	unID	Talk by woman at 1347, and song by a woman.  Too weak to ID 
language but didn't seem Chinese/Japanese/Korean.	5+1 pips at 1400


11164BC Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Talk by usual host at 1308

ocean coast trips totally exhausted from receiving so much exceptional DX at

[IRCA] 1098 recording

Re: [IRCA] October 18-31 AM loggings - Davenport, IA logbook

[Rick Dau]

Neil --

   Here's the email I received on October 11 from Allen Kiddoo, KT0TT, operator 
of the Muscatine SDR:

   "I started out with an untuned 26' dipole, which was fair on 20 and 40 
meters but poor on 80 meters or lower.  About 2 weeks ago, I changed to a home 
made active loop.  It is a hula hoop spiral wrapped with 1/2" wide copper tape. 
 Total length of tape would be about 20'.  Loop is connected to a 30db amp with 
balance-wound balun.  Loop is about 5' above ground in side yard.  55' of RG6u 
runs back to the Kiwi.  Cost to build the loop was less than $20."

   I asked Allen if he had plans to upgrade to an antenna that would better 
receive AM and longwave, since I've noticed that there's a lot of noise on the 
lower end of the AM band (from about 800 Khz) on down and quite a bit on LW.  
He said he's constantly experimenting and hopes to come up with something 
that'll eliminate much, if not all, of the buzz.  I'm hopeful, since I've spent 
a LOT of time on it in the past month.

   Incidentally, its URL is http://www.kt0tt.dynu.net:8073

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Booming Chinese for 11-1

[Gary DeBock]

 Wow, with propagation like this at home a trip to Hawaii seems almost 
absurd!  Thanks to Ken in Lummi Island for his report confirming the 
exceptional conditions. The Chinese wave which had been hitting this area at 
unusual strength for the past week became a huge tsunami this morning--  
bringing salt water-type conditions.  Several second tier Chinese frequencies 
like 756, 837 and 936 hit S9 levels, while regulars like 639 and 738 were at 
absurd strength. The entire wacky situation was like the final stunning bonus 
in a one week propagation bonanza.

 The tiny 5" FSL and hot-rodded Ultralight were once again set up at 1330 
in the local park, with hopes that yesterday's sudden Chinese propagation 
collapse was only an aberration. The S9 peaks of the CRI stations on 963, 1017 
and 1044 in the predawn darkness were reassuring, and some second tier 
frequencies like 837 and 963 were also reaching S9 peaks prior to 1400. When 
daybreak occurred around 1410 the 756-CNR1 (poorly coordinated) synchros went 
on a monster romp, hitting S9 peaks with their reverb effect. 837-China 
(Harbin?) started pounding in at S9 strength (in and out) for a full 20 minutes 
with Chinese rock starting at 1415, and was probably the overall star of the 
wild session. Traces of audio began showing up on 783 as well around 1425, 
reaching a very good level with Chinese opera around 1435-- just like it did in 
Hawaii last December, only this time with an apparent Chinese co-channel, that 
never had shown up in Kona. The floodgates were now open, with the CRI
  stations, 639-CNR1, 738-BEL2 and others on monstrous romps. 675 had YL audio 
at 1445 that sounded like the VOV recordings made here years ago, while both 
684 and 927 were at threshold audio levels. Chinese audio was still hanging 
around at the 1500 TOH here-- an unprecedented breakthrough at this mediocre 
location  No doubt Nick, Walt and Colin had TP audio as late as 1600 in salt 
water-enhanced Victoria this morning, but I wonder who had more fun?  :-)


756  CNR1   Chinese female speech //639 with awesome echo effect at 1410; best 
signal ever here  https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/4maczz39wavknc2szcpenu2p0ukam51q


783  China   Chinese opera at full Hawaii strength at 1436, with apparent 
Chinese co-channel as well

of the overall stars of the wild session

Hi Ken, I'd think a DKAZ aimed NW for TP and another one aimed NNE for TA's
would serve you well. That fence does sound unfortunate. How high is it?

Phasing smaller antennas or phasing two Pixel loops could be quite helpful
and maybe you could arrange them broadside to get a more narrow beam, or
from what you dimensions sound to me, end fire to get better F/B and a
somewhat more narrow beam.

73 and good luck .. KAZ

Re: [IRCA] Best Chinese Session Yet

[ken brookner]

Hi Neil...

Thanks!

I do have room, more or less.  I try to keep my receive antennas 
separated from the transmit ones.  I have ~200' across the back (north 
side) of the property..  that's 200' east to west.  Surrounded by tall 
alders. Unfortunately for antennas, there's a woven wire fence that 
runs around the property.  ~627' N/S...


I have my 2 active vertical antennas that i phase separated by 135' 
back in that wooded area and they work fine for 160 meters and up some 
(marginally effective on BCB).  They're far enough away from the 
fencing that they aren't impacted much.  I think a DKAZ would be since 
it would have to be proximate to that fence, perhaps elevated above 
it..  There are probably other options.  Flags would be easier to fit in.


The PIxel Tech loop is at the southwest end of the property with nulls 
north and south.  I have another one and I thought I might try phasing 
them.

[IRCA] November 1, 2018 West Coast TP No Pumpkin hangover.

[R. Colin Newell]

From 1345 through top of the hour, things were in pretty good shape still
favouring the long haul -

Although I did not do a comprehensive band sweep with written loggings,
here is an example of how things were shaping up.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
KHZ   COUNTRYSTATIONDATE  TIMEDETAILS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

531 JAPAN JOQG, Morioka, NHK1. Nov 1 1345 – sounded like a location
broadcast //567, 594, 666, etc [CN-BC]

603  CHINA Nov 1 1346 – Alone on top with the CNR1 program with
preachy Chinese woman. [CN-BC]

639  CHINA  CNR1  Nov 1 1347 – Chinese talk with YL and OM at good
levels [CN-BC]

657 CHINA/DPR KOREA Pyongyang  Nov 1 1347 – Same hypnotic content,
same unusually good signals this Fall. [CN-BC]

*675 China/Japan/VIETNAM RGD Nei Menggu/Voice of Vietnam/NHK . Nov 1
1348 – Easy three-some with double echo Chinese YL pontification,
followed by Japanese*

*speaking YL/OM in the background and in the same minute a
Lao/Vietnamese sounding lady surfaced. This is indicative of the deep
continental reception we have been getting into Asia this season.
[CN-BC]*

756  CHINA  various, CNR1. Nov 1 1349 - Chinese OM at very good levels. [CN-BC]

837 CHINA  Harbin, RGD. Nov 1 1350 – Very good with OM chatting away
in strident Chinese [CN-BC]

900  CHINA UnID  Nov 1 1400 – A series of pips at the top of the hour
under the Canadian domestic [CN-BC]

963  CHINA  Huaduan, CRI. Nov 1 1352 – Russian speaking at very good
levels [CN-BC]

972  972  REP KOREA  HLCA, Dangjin. Nov 1 1352 – Super loud Korea talk
and soft music [CN-BC]

1116  CHINA  various. Nov 1 1355 – Chinese at very good levels on a
single pass. Heard no echo or other competition [CN-BC]

1179  CHINA  Hubei RGD. Nov 1 1356 –  At chunky levels and still
audible on Honda Civic car radio when pulling into University of
Victoria parking lot at 1455 UTC  [CN-BC]


This was something of a glimpse, a skim, a snapshot of this morning -
what's clear is: This has been a good season. It's been an interesting
season. We have been getting way more

than just coastal Japanese and Korean stations showing up at our
antennas - this is deep continental penetration. One can only imagine
some of the stuff that

is surfacing at the coveted coastal locations and in Hawaii (Good luck Gary!)

I'm holding out for a single Philippines station but will accept
something more exotic.

Re: [IRCA] Best Chinese Session Yet

[ken brookner]

For a new guy at this, this morning was pretty amazing for me as well 
for China and Japan.  i haven't finished sifting my sdr recording, but I 
was tuning around real time a bit and most everything i tuned to was 
armchair or close to it!  Normally, I have to dig around to find a short 
time span of intelligible copy on various stations.


This morning I was using a Pixel Tech shielded magnetic loop (the 
original to the one DXEngineering sells now) at the other end of a 
couple of hundred feet of RG6, Airspy HF+ with the mod, and SDR Console.


Pretty exciting...  :-)

It certainly seemed like my gear was already in Hawaii this morning, 
with far and away the best Chinese session for the entire wacky week. 
I finally tracked down Nick's 783 kHz Chinese opera at good strength 
at 1436 (with a possible Chinese co-channel), along with an S9 signal 
from 756-CNR1 (with an awesome reverb effect). 837-China (Harbin?) had 
S9 music around 1426, while a ton of other Chinese stations had their 
best audio ever here. Full details to follow!

[IRCA] Best Chinese Session Yet

[Gary DeBock]

It certainly seemed like my gear was already in Hawaii this morning, with far 
and away the best Chinese session for the entire wacky week. I finally tracked 
down Nick's 783 kHz Chinese opera at good strength at 1436 (with a possible 
Chinese co-channel), along with an S9 signal from 756-CNR1 (with an awesome 
reverb effect). 837-China (Harbin?) had S9 music around 1426, while a ton of 
other Chinese stations had their best audio ever here. Full details to follow!

Re: [IRCA] 1098

[Neil Kazaross]

Very nice. I wonder how the two Tims did for Asia this morning?  I didn't
have anything here in IL on the west DKAZ that I could specifically pin
down as Asian. I did catch a couple low band "usual" 50 kW Aussies weakly
but good enough to tell was DU talk for my first ever Aussies logged in
November. They can really spike stronger right around my sunrise.

As for Golmud 1098, I per EZNEC am losing about 11.5 dB in their direction
compared to what a north DKAZ of the same size would deliver. All the
supports are in for my north DKAZ, but I still have to wire it up.
I had more tree trimming to do yesterday to prepare for installation than
expected and since I am back at work, I don't expect to have this usable
until Saturday.
