[IRCA] TP 27 Feb Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Not earth shattering DX this morning, but at least the big guns were performing 
reasonably well, and there was a hint of China and Taiwan


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


594 JOAK 1451UT

747 JOIB 1410UT

972 HLCA 1445UT



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



612 4QR man in DU English on phone 1437UT

774 JOUB 1406UT

828 JOBB 1429UT

1566 HLAZ 1456UT




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

567 JOIK //594 1416UT





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) 

603 woman talking, maybe Korean, followed by ballad 1415UT, likely HLSA

639 CNR1 near imaginary audio, but woman and man talking //6175  1455UT

702 2BL man talking //612 1430UT...soon replaced by..

702 NHK2 man and woman //774, 828 at 1433UT

1422 male pop ballad 1450UT

1503 JOUK //594 1457UT, interval music

1557 woman talking, Chinese intonation 1458UT

1593 CNR1 on the edge of readability with 5 and 1 pips, and bits of CNR1 news 
sounders 1500UT



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

558 585 693 909 918 945 1242 1287 1314 1332 1386 1431  seemed to be Asian; 
  
 621 756 891  1017 1098 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] [nrc-am] KKOL-1300 back on the air

[Bruce Portzer]

It's an STA.  Their current CP is to diplex with KLFE-1590 and KNTS-1680 
on Bainbridge Island but they're running into issues with local building 
permits.  So the STA with KBRO is for license preservation, since 
they've been silent since Feb 2018.

Re: [IRCA] KCRN 1120 Limon, CO

[Nigel Pimblett]

Thanks to Paul for putting out the word on this.    Heard them for the 
first time this morning at 7:00 MST,  pretty much alone on the 
frequency, likely before KANN went to day power.   Heard a long list of 
Catholic Radio Network stations, ending with KLIM 1120 and 102.3 (so 
still announcing old callsign).

It would appear the station has built out their construction permit.   They
had been 250 Watts Non Directional from a tower just NW of Limon but hadnt
reliably been on the air from in the later part of the last decade up until
a few years ago. A commercial operator sold them to The Catholic Radio
Network of Kansas City a few years ago and thestaton has limped along on 10
and 100 watt longwireSTA's for a few years.

I heard catholic radio programming from EWTN on 1120khz for the first time
ever this morning in Laramie, Wyoming and KCRN is the only station on 1120
listed as an EWTN affiliate. About 705 am mountain time, I got an ID for
"KLIM Limon" which was their call letters until December 2018

Checking the FCC database, and thanks to engineer Mark Humphrey, it looks
like they've filed a form 302-AM which is a license to cover for their
50kw/2 tower facility several miles west of Limon. They may have been
granted program test authority but it isnt showing up yet.  They also filed
a license to cover on their translator, K283AS 102.3 Black Forest, CO and
is new location.

FWIW, I was just poking around on Bill's Lubec, Maine receiver, which Mark 
favors. While longwave is a bit noisy at midday, I was getting very good copy 
of two Canadian NDBs: YZX-266 Greenwood NS and ZST-397 St. John NB.  I know you

True Rick. Control of local electrical noise is one of the biggest problems for 
these sites. Antennas with poor RDF (directivity) is another. Woefully 
inadequate gain at MW is a third problem. To an extent a coastal site can 
mitigate the problems but a truly bad setup is a truly bad setup even if on a 
beach or a mountain top.

Subject: [ABDX] East Coast online SDR's (most get an "F")  

Periodically I check out the KiwiSDR directory page since new receivers come on 
from time to time (and old ones are occasionally dropped).
For the uninitiated, the links homepage is:
https://sdr.hu/
Two TA stations are very consistent here mid-evenings and are therefore good 
candidates for evaluating the receivers. These are RNE Spain on 855 and 
Absolute Radio UK on 1215. Since those are midway between domestic channels, 
the AM Narrow setting on a KiwiSDR should be adequate to separate those 
stations from domestic interference. Those receivers are far from a Perseus, 
Elad, or Excalibur (or, for that matter, Collins R-390A) in the selectivity 
game but those two big stations even can be heard on ultralight portables, at 
least near the ocean.
Last weekend I simultaneously had audio from my own receiver running as I tried 
about 15 online receivers in the Eastern time zone of the US and Canada.
The 855 and 1215 signals were both doing great here around midnight EST / 0500 
UTC.
Only TWO (!) of the available online receivers had audio from these stations.
Bill Whitacre's Lubec, Maine receiver was doing the best job and had results 
about the same as I was getting on my Elad here.
http://qhkiwisdr.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/

The mid-coast Maine receiver run by WA2ZKD/1 came in second with somewhat 
weaker TA's than on either Bill's receiver or mine. Domestic splash was worse, 
indicating a less directive antenna.
http://rx2.wa2zkd.net:8073
Interestingly there was very little internet delay (live versus online) audio. 
The old (2005 era?) DXTuners used to run about 8 sec. of latency.

So what about the dozen plus other receivers including ON, QC, New England, NY, 
NJ, MD, and all the way down to FL? ZIP .. ZILCH .. NADA! Just huge adjacent 
channel slop onto 855 and 1215 or, if not that, the sounds of silence .. or 
electrical buzz.
The Dominican Republic SDR also had zippo on 855 and 
1215.http://dr.twrmon.net:8073

So if you're looking for interesting MW DX on an eastern US or Canada SDR, 
don't waste your time, just go to one of the two receivers above.
I believe that the deficiency in most cases is the antenna. If Kaz in IL and 
Tim Tromp in MI, not to mention DXers all the way out to BC/WA/OR, frequently 
hear 855 Spain and 1215 UK, then there is no excuse for a  receiver in NH, MA, 
NJ, MD, VA, etc. not to have those stations "inbooming".

The only other US East CoastKiwiSDR's I see having much use are two in Florida, 
mostly to keep an ear on Cubans and other close-up Latins:

The mid-coast Maine receiver run by WA2ZKD/1 came in second with somewhat 
weaker TA's than on either Bill's receiver or mine. Domestic splash was worse, 
indicating a less directive antenna.

Interestingly there was very little internet delay (live versus online) audio. 
The old (2005 era?) DXTuners used to run about 8 sec. of latency.

So what about the dozen plus other receivers including ON, QC, New England, NY, 
NJ, MD, and all the way down to FL? ZIP .. ZILCH .. NADA! Just huge adjacent 
channel slop onto 855 and 1215 or, if not that, the sounds of silence .. or 
electrical buzz.

The Dominican Republic SDR also had zippo on 855 and 1215.

So if you're looking for interesting MW DX on an eastern US or Canada SDR, 
don't waste your time, just go to one of the two receivers above.

I believe that the deficiency in most cases is the antenna. If Kaz in IL and 
Tim Tromp in MI, not to mention DXers all the way out to BC/WA/OR, frequently 
hear 855 Spain and 1215 UK, then there is no excuse for a  receiver in NH, MA, 
NJ, MD, VA, etc. not to have those stations "inbooming".

The only other US East Coast KiwiSDR's I see having much use are two in 
Florida, mostly to keep an ear on Cubans and other close-up Latins:

[IRCA] 1430 dx test heard in scotland

[kenny, scotland]

I have the test tones, a 1khz tone and later a 400hz tone i think it 
was. not at my perseus pc at the minute to check, but i did both hear 
the tone (weak in the mush), as well as easily see it on the perseus 
screen, 0551 - 0600 time frame. exact time will be on my files


If we had CW ids, I could have snared that one.

I have fallen way behind with on line logs, but will strive to post 
perseus screen shots and audio...
