[IRCA] TP 3 Feb Victoria version.

2019-02-03 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Not quite Colorado perhaps, but a definite improvement, if hearing some of the 
previously regular big guns is an improvement.   Well, I guess it is.


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

not so




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

594 JOAK 1525UT topping out with man in Japanese





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

603 HLSA jazzy soft music 1522UT; had been ID'd a few minutes earlier with 
//558 on the Kiwi SDR in South Korea 

747 JOIB 1522UT

774 JOUB 1440UT; also pretty good with anthem and music box at 1530UT sign off



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 brief audio, man //594 1524UT

972 man and woman talking, Korean intonation 1510UT

1566 man talking, Russian intonation 1648UT; this one took awhile to deliver, 
for sure.




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

693 828 873 seemed to be Asian; 
1017  seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] SS Religion on 920?

2019-02-03 Thread Scott Fybush
They're semi-local to me. I have never heard them in anything but 
English. There's barely any Hispanic population in that part of central 
NY, and they're a little too far from Syracuse to reach the Hispanic 
community there.

Hi Everyone,

Trying to track down a mystery. I was on 920 last night hearing what
sounded like Pentecostal male preaching in Spanish. My usual two on 920
here are CKNX and WHJJ, so this would be new.

Thanks,

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, January 28-February 3, 2019

2019-02-03 Thread Glenn Hauser via IRCA
--- Begin Message ---
All times and dates strictly UT! 

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.

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: 
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html
   
All my MW DX reports starting August
2011 are archived in this forum with open access:  
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page74
[over 336,000 views! as of February 3, 2019]

** U S A [and non]. MW Bandscan on caradio from somewhat quiet parking 
lot in western Enid, Jan 30 from 2015 UT:

670, WSCR in well already with sports talk atop KLTT Denver groundwave

Other low-end channels with mostly JBA understations, presumed
660, Metroplex over Omaha, 
620, Metroplex over Sioux City; or Jackson MS?
590, Omaha over Austin
580, Topeka over Lubbock
570, Metroplex over Yankton (as always)
560, two very weak: Springfield & Denver?
550, Salina over Midland
540, Metroplex over Fort Dodge (as always)

710, Amarillo & Kansas City (as always), also het! Chihuahua?
720, WGN also in sports talk, skywave already
840, fast SAH, West Point & Louisville?

860, at 2017 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS is off! Recheck 2039 back on with 
``860 AM KKOW`` ID twice

1050, at 2018 UT, ``All New Heart & Soul, ##.1 and 1050``, which makes 
it KGTO Tulsa with 99.1 translator K256CR, while the *other* OK on 
1050 is also ``Heart & Soul``, but its FM is 93.7 K239DG, i.e. KXCA 
Lawton, which barely makes a SAH on the ND caradio antenna. KXCA is 
250 watts direxional away from Tulsa, while KGTO is 1 kW ND, and about 
20 miles closer. Despite identical slogans, NRC AM Log shows different 
formats: KGTO UC:AC/OLD, and KXCA merely UC:AC

1130, at 2019 UT, NO signal from unreliable KLEY Wellington KS, unlike 
neighbors in OK on 1120, 1140, KS on 1150. However, local noise peak 
around here [KLEY not heard following few days]

1210, at 2041 UT, KGYN Guymon OK, JBA talk, much weaker on groundwave 
than normal, so maybe on night pattern direxional west, just like 
sometimes at night obviously on ND day pattern

1520, at 2022 UT, KOKC has constant JBA ~1 kHz het, from 1521? Saudi? 
Hard to believe as previously discussed, but 2 megawatts! At home on 
R75 by 2225, unheard. Supposedly closes circa 2230. Or some domestic 
consistently off-frequency? Or a local-area spur like 1640 around 595?

1540, at 2025 UT, English talkshow echoing from two different 
stations: KXEL IA has Dave Ramsey, and so does the nearest, KNGL 
McPherson KS. No Spanish ESPND yet from KZMP Metroplex as expected; 
after a break, echoing resumes at 2035

1650, circa 2030 UT cannot detect KFSW Sallisaw OK, despite further X
-banders audible now, 1660 KWOD KC and 1700 KKLF Metroplex. All 
supposed to be 10 kW ND --- except KKLF is really only 5 kW even with 
better signal. 1650 does have splash from local KZLS, but even at home 
on R75 with USB tuning I do not hear KFSW, day; or night when KZLS ACI 
is not a problem. Why must OK`s only X-band stations be on adjacent 
frequencies? (Some DXers like to believe 1650 is in Arkansas, Fort 
Smith.) Iowa`s wound up 20 kHz apart.

Sometime I did hear a bit of praise music on 1650, which could be KFSW 
in REL:CHR format (unless it was Denver in Spanish), but I cannot 
believe KFSW is anywhere near nominal 10/1 kW U1 as licensed. You may 
recall that in its previous incarnation KWHN/KYHN, it was hard not to 
get here at night, suspected 10 kW then (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST) More about KFSW below

** U S A. 770, Jan 29 from 1414 UT weak signal in English, as I am 
standing by for KKOB Albuquerque NM to pop onto 50 kW ND day pattern 
--- which it does at 1415.5, mid-word discussion about recycling 
plastic bags --- not a word of greeting to all their new listeners to 
the east now getting an initially VG signal. In Feb its daytime span 
will be 1400-0045 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)


** U S A. 880-USB + carrier, Feb 1 at 0333 UT I am trying to hear KHAC 
Tse Bonito NM; having realized I have not been running across it 
lately as it was easy during a long span of 10 kW ND day power at 
night rather than 430 watts ND. 

On the R75 with E-W longwire, 880 is still dominated by DSB KRVN from 
the north, altho it has an ad mentioning MST --- but about a third of 
Nebraska is on MST, one boundary on I-80 being about halfway between 
North Platte and Ogallala, certainly in KRVN`s coverage area from 
Lexington further east. 

I try again at 0635 UT Feb 1, this time on the DX-398 which is what it 
takes to null KRVN as much possible and hear another station on USB 
but no
