Interesting. I drove past Limon on I - 70 around mid day this past
December 22 and kept my car radio on 1120. No signal from KLIM was heard.
I’m presently on the east coast. I’ll check it out when I get back next
week. Thanks for the update.

"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.

Re: [IRCA] Coax Cable

[Mauno Ritola]

I had RG58 in 'moisture' for a decade: in fact 70 metres at the bottom 
of a pond! Everybody said, that it won't work, but I didn't notice any 
problems. But I had them on the part, which was on the ground: hares bit 
it broke and 3 years ago I replaced it with a better one: Tri-Lan RF240. 
It wasn't cheap for almost 300 metres feed, but I think it will last as 
long as ... Now I buried it carefully a few cm also on the ground. I 
think all is well as long as the shield doesn't get breaks.
Getting a length of coax inside a garden hose isn't as easy as it may 
sound, I tried. Some length goes easy, but in the end one needs to put 
first a string with air pressure. I am glad, that I didn't take the trouble.


Best regards,

Mauno

Haven't seen any response to this, James, and am probably not going to 
be much help.


I've just used RG58 variants for up to 100' in permanent installations 
around the yard, 10 to15 years in some cases.   One of them runs 
through about 70' of rigid PVC electrical conduit IPEX #032907 and is 
buried.   Mind you, I've heard that although such conduit will keep 
the groundwater away from the coax, water vapor will condense inside, 
leading to a wet interior anyway. That coax still seems to work,so 
maybe it's dry...or maybe not.


On DXpeditions, I've run over 500' of  RG58 coax to DKaz'es and such, 
and not suffered particularly.


best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] TP 5 Jan Victoria version.

The external service VOIRI/Pars Today uses the same time signal chimes 
as R. Iran. I can hear VOIRI Tajik via Tayebad now at 1540 on 720 kHz 
and I think it is also your UNID on 1098 kHz with time announcement.


I don't hear R. Iran now at all. Maybe Mahidasht has moved to 558 kHz.

There are apparently a couple of Iranians on the channel, Gary.   Both 
broadcast Radio Iran, but one of them only at certain times, and 
1530UT wasn't one of them according to MWList.  It's all pretty

Nick Hall-Patch kirjoitti 25.12.2018 klo 8:12:

I was out of town for a day and left the SDR to do the listening.   It did 
rather a good job; I wish I'd been there to help it along with parallels and 
such.

It wasn't so much that there were east Asians hammering in, it was the over the 
pole evidence.   Unless the three ascending chimes are used on the half hour by 
someone other than Iran on 1098, thenIran was coming in on 1098, half an 
hour before my local sunrise.   And who might Indian influenced pop music on 
1539 be?   And that Iranian jammer on 1575 was just thundering at times.  Files 
will probably be worth a second listen

Oddly, NHK2 signed off at 1440UT today, leaving carriers on.








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

not quite, though the jammer on 1575 came close at times




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

594 JOAK 1530UT

639 CNR1 assumed, two men in Chinese 1516UT, but no parallels

972 HLCA 1519UT

1539 Asianet? Indian influenced pop music 1518UT and at various times later; 
good at 1547UT with man in unID language; Malayalam?

1575 Iran jammer, first heard 1443:30UT, sudden appearance quite strong, so, 
early and often , as heard until after 1600UT

1575 VoA woman in SE Asian language, Burmese listed, 1553UT; had heard weaker 
VoA ID at 1530UT; also noted strong quite good at 1601UT, but nothing on the 
hour






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

567 JOIK //594 1554UT

1098 Iran.  piano music, man talking slowly, 3 ascending chimes typical for 
Iran, 1530UT; completely unexpected, to say the least.

1566 HLAZ? choral music 1555UT



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)

576 vaguely oriental sounding vocal music 1521UT

702 portentous music 1522UT made me think North Korea, but woman talking 1523 
and 1526UT sounded too laid back.  No idea?

837 man talking; Tagalog?  Again, no clue at this point

855 orchestral music, 1529UT N. Korea?

936 man talking, didn't sound Chinese though; 1544UT

1287 man talking, Japanese intonation, pip on hour, 1600UT

1323 woman talking, Russian intonation



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

603 621 675   747 756 774 819 828  846 864 891 909 918 945 1026 1107 1116 1215 
1332  1422  1458 seemed to be Asian;
  nothing much  seemed  to be DU

Yes, they did rather.   A bit unfortunate, having a DX opening on 
Christmas Eve.


Here, Farda was logged on 1575 at 0028UT  with weak piano music 
parallel to its webstream, during a fade down in the Iranian jammer.


And 702 kept fading up with everything from an old man carrying on (an 
interview?) 0034UT, some sort of stringed instrument like a guitar 
0055UT, and  then male chanting (Koranic?)0101UT.   The same program 
was heard on SDRs in Ukraine and Russia, but not in Sardinia, so 
strongly suspect this was Iran external service? There is supposed be 
an Azeri program broadcast starting at 0320UT, but it has been heard 
earlier, according to Mauno Ritola.   I was hoping that the listed 
1323 parallel was available, but couldn't find it on any of the 
KiwiSDRs.  And, although there seems to be a website for the Azeri 
program stream, it doesn't seem to work?

Otherwise, weak carriers on 1386, 855 and suchlike; 1278.006 could be

Another element here is that as far as I can tell, the determination of when 
one cycle ends and another begins is somewhat arbitrary and ambiguous as there 
is nothing natural which sets up a divider - just scientists trying to juggle 
different factors into some sort of a consensus and then trying to retrofit 
that onto cycles past.


While I certainly agree with Kaz, I still expect that the cycle change will 
occur before then end of 2020.

Portuguese and a Sardinian KiwiSDR , and both delivered Coran Radio

Maybe Algeria  has different programming on weeknights, so will check

DEC 1


702  unID, man talking, sounded French 0240UT, into music from
plucked stringed  instrument, then more talking.  Algeria is listed
as R. Coran at this time, which I suspect would not be French, but
can't think who else this might be?

783 unID man talking, some sort of Arabic singing, poor at 0111UT,
just a brief fade up.

819 Arabic vocal music, poor,  0231UT Egypt?

864 EGYPT  maxed out 0227-8UT strong and clear Koran recitation.

909 woman  in recognizably British English 0203UT and also 0230UT;
fair strength, likely Five Live

1026 unID turned up at various times between 0130-0220UT, best was at
0153UT, with echoey male vocals.  Iran?

1098 Arabic sounding vocal, poor 0226UT

1539 UAE?  Although formally logged at 0239UT, was also noted with
man talking and Indian sounding music 0203, 0214,and 0234UT, never
more than poor strength

1575  tUAE.  Fades in the buzz saw yielded male Middle Eastern
sounding vocals, poor, 0159UT and across the hour, but I think Farda
runs on Iranian time anyway.   Male talk at 0130UT however was too
poor to get any ID'able material

Maybe CNR11 has their transmitter pattern aligned incorrectly, hi. 
(FMScan.org says the Golmud site is directed at 205 degrees, hardly a 
good pattern for the Americas, but I wonder if there is a secondary 
lobe directed north?),   Although the site is hugely inland, It is 
interesting how well they can do (they've been heard in Victoria 
also, rarely), and are probably a good illustration of  the 
effectiveness of "over the pole" propagation during low sunspot 
years, like 1521 on the east coast.   In fact, 1521 and 1098 should 
both be targets this season for those in the central USA/Canada.

Given it's ability to reach Maine I watched 972 closely, but it never

Re: [IRCA] 621-Pyongyang BS/ VoK-- Audio Situation Becoming Critical

Or could the hum be just heterodyne caused by 50 Hz difference between

otherwise.

A few months back there was a discussion on the list about the transmitted 
audio from the 621-Pyongyang BS/ Voice of Korea station in Chongjin, N. Korea-- 
specifically, whether there was audio hum on the frequency from a bad 
transmitter, or whether the bad audio was caused by a drifting frequency.

  Yesterday morning a recording was made of 621-Pyongyang BS mixing with 
621-China (Heilongjiang) at the 1500 TOH, with the two sets of pips loudly 
overlapping at the 39 second point  
https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/612kbk25hqqlxh1r4qfzaxzeuuwktbeo

The throbbing hum from Chongjin's transmitter is pretty obvious, distorting not only the 
Pyongyang BS audio but also covering Heilongjiang's clean signal. The overlapping time 
pips from the two are in the same bizarre league as the "Cuckoo Clock" 
overlapping pips from 918-Shandong and RNZ at 1700 UTC in the Cook Islands.

Thanks very much for your investigation of the 783 kHz UnID Chinese station 
identity. 783-Voice of the Straight is the strongest Asian TP on the band both 
in the morning and evening here, and it plays an incredible variety of music 
(Chinese opera, pop, instrumentals, and even rap :-)

<<< Meanwhile, the clip that you just posted here is 100% Voice of the Straits. 
It's both hypocritical and ridiculous to hear on this station, as nice as it sounds.
1. The government of China has BANNED rap and hip-hop music (doesn't mean it doesn't 
exist underground and that people don't listen anyway), but here, you can hear them 
broadcast it on one of their own propaganda stations aimed at Taiwan. Taiwan is a huge 
consumer of hip-hop and rock music (American music as well) and most Chinese-language 
music in those genres originates there, so it makes sense they're throwing some of it 
their way.Meanwhile, the clip that you just posted here is 100% Voice of the Straits.

Well, when a government has absolute power they certainly have the prerogative 
to change their minds or modify laws as desired, don't they? My wife is Hong 
Kong Chinese, and she always tells me that laws don't mean anything in China, 
where the government can do anything it wishes. But sometimes I wonder how many 
Taiwan residents actually listen to these mono-format music broadcasts with a 
heavy propaganda edge? When you lived in Seoul, were the people rushing to turn 
on the Voice of Unification after their 12-hour work days? I think not. But to 
be honest, the programming from Pyongyang BS and KCBS is so ridiculous that it 
is actually pretty amusing, and I would be sorry if this type of amusement 
suddenly disappeared from the radio scene.

Gary,

783 is likely the straits broadcast. If they are not on the air at 
that time, we will find who is.


Hebei Life Radio is 150kw on that frequency but it's not them. Here's 
the TOH ID that aired on 11/3 at 1000 UTC from Qingting and clearly 
you can see it's not what you have:


http://www.beaglebass.com/temporary/Hebei_Life.mp3

They run the same clear ID with a single time beep at the top of 
every hour on their networks (which are notorious for echoes).


Either way, I'll get back to you tomorrow with a confirmation for 
that signal.


And I'm sure there is no jammer on 801, at least not within earshot 
of Seoul. If there is one, it's lower powered and on the Gangwon-do 
coast. Even then, it would be likely to be heard in Seoul, if it 
existed, but nobody can hear anything.

Finally, I promised Chris Kadlec that I would investigate whether 801

Unfortunately 801 kHz had this monster UnID covering the frequency

the top of the hour at the specific time we were paying attention to 
in Tim's clip, but in comparison to your clip, I can hear KBS instead 
at the start of Tim's clip where the announcer is saying bye and 
telling people to visit their homepage. So either way, though it seems 
to be two different stations in the clip (probably Tokyo also), KBS is 
certainly in there and audible when comparing the two. Good catch (I 
mean, noting the comparison), for sure!!

Maybe CNR11 has their transmitter pattern aligned incorrectly, hi. 
(FMScan.org says the Golmud site is directed at 205 degrees, hardly a 
good pattern for the Americas, but I wonder if there is a secondary 
lobe directed north?),   Although the site is hugely inland, It is 
interesting how well they can do (they've been heard in Victoria also, 
rarely), and are probably a good illustration of  the effectiveness of 
"over the pole" propagation during low sunspot years, like 1521 on the 
east coast.   In fact, 1521 and 1098 should both be targets this 
season for those in the central USA/Canada.

Re: [IRCA] Saturdays highlights - TP DX in Seattle

[Mauno Ritola]

Nick, as you can see, most measurements are many years old.

It really looks like North Korea is the one on the low side. It drifts 
between 620.95-620.97 kHz and has no break between 2000-2100.


At least some Heilongjiang transmitters are on overnight, nearer nominal 
and carrying non-stop muzak.


Chuck, I meant, that all carriers were 2 Hz high due to no calibration.

Best regards,

Mauno


Nick Hall-Patch kirjoitti 11.10.2018 klo 18:57:
Is the MW offset list at https://www.mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=621 
no longer accurate then Mauno?


It's pretty clear that the N. Korean is on the low side in that list.  
For me, the first clue that it was not N. Korea that was being heard 
was that the carrier on the low side was relatively weak compared to 
the dominant.

The carrier on the low side drifts quite a bit: between 620.95-.965

24h. Acc. to WRTH they have programming until 1800.


North Korean signal quality and strength seems to vary a lot. It has

It seems to be on 24h. Today at 0930 the audio is very distorted.

There are a mess of tones around 40 Hertz on your audio recording
Gary, plus another around 45Hz.   Interesting that they should
correspond to the offset of N. Korea on that channel.    The Korean
carrier itself may not be very cleanbut for the listener, it's
not easy to determine what of a hum is due to offset  from the
Chinese (or ?) on the same channel and what is due to audio that the
station is broadcasting.

I figured however that when your Korean audio was strongest, the hum
was weakest, which would seem to indicate that the hum wasn't part of
the broadcast.

frequency at that time? One in Korean and two in Russian. There is also 
CRI Urumqi supposedly beaming to 55°, so that is possible, too.

That is the norm here also Walt.   This morning, 963 was quite good at 
times with a woman in Russian, and that was parallel occasionally with 
a much weaker 1323 (details a bit late).    I think that CRI Korean on 
1323 beams to Korea, and away from us on the west coast, whereas CRI 
Russian beams roughly towards us.

Re: [IRCA] TA carriers in AB

[Mauno Ritola]

Hi Nick,

last night at 0200 I have València on 1295.998½ and Birmingham on 
1296.000 kHz.


Best regards,

Mauno


Nick Hall-Patch kirjoitti 23.8.2018 klo 8:49:
Thanks for that information Mauno.   I checked files from my  last 
Christmas' visit to Khartoum, and it was not heard then.   Most of my 
recordings were in the middle of the night, so I assumed it had signed 
off after midnight.


Perhaps the power bill from such a big transmitter is more than the 
government can afford.  I've heard that the economy is in rough shape, 
with quite a bit of inflation.


At any rate, the carrier was not heard this evening.  When it is 
there, it is very close to 1296.000kHz, maybe a little bit low. (and 
that was not Sudan's 2016 offset either).


best wishes,

Nick

Hi James,

Thanks for your offer to contribute new files, but my Perseus blog was
active from 2007-2011; I have not been adding to the WAV file directory
since then. I've only maintained the existing recordings in cloud storage
for archive purposes.

Re: [IRCA] 738-BEL2 in Apparent Indonesian

[Mauno Ritola]

Gary,

OK, they must have changed the day. I wonder if the same applies for 
Indonesian 1220-1300?


73, Mauno

Gary DeBock kirjoitti 26.3.2018 klo 6:28:

Mauno,

The recordings here indicate that this special program on Taiwan 
Fisheries is broadcast ONLY on Saturday night, Taiwan time. This 
morning at 1312 UTC (2112 Sunday night, Taiwan time) the 738 station 
was heard back in Chinese, with the usual female announcer 
https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/w2m0amog2ksil30r0uk1uxl1xu7i90hi


Assuming that the program was switched from Sunday night to Saturday 
night in Taiwan, yesterday's recording (at 2135 Saturday night, Taiwan 
time) would be in Tagalog, according to the initial schedule posted at 
http://tcnn.org.tw/en/archives/26512

Thanks Mauno.   I'd been trying to stay up late enough to check a NZ

I wonder what the story is there?   Accidental reactivation of an old

last night.    Maybe I should be checking 1440 hi.

Good modulation tonight - and someone who listens to the 5+ minute weather 
forecast is going to hear something.

Based on everything else I’m hearing tonight - I’d say this is a new 
installation - 10 to 20 kw. My best guess Kiribati.

I wonder what the story is there?   Accidental reactivation of an old

   Maybe I should be checking 1440 hi.

Re: [IRCA] Florence

[Mauno Ritola]

Hi Michael,
for very temporary setups I have applied the simplest possible approach: 
tried to find a relatively noise-free place and antenna consisted of 
min. 10 metres of coax to get away from one's computer noise, a matching 
transformer, a simple ground stick and antenna wire as long as possible, 
at least tens of metres either on the ground or hung somewhere. Then 
wide-band recording by SDR (operated by a phone battery) and listening 
later.


Best regards,

Mauno

Hey Nick, it's good to hear from you! It's funny that you sent me this 
because I was scheming in the back of my brain trying to figure out 
what I would use as a frame and the idea of fibreglass tent poles came 
into my head, I was going to look for possibilities today. So very 
timely!


I probably won't be going full on DKAZ, at least yet, unless I am 
doing a 'proper' dxpedition. For my little mini ones I would use the 
frame to support something like Mark showed me in his email. This 
source is a big help, though, thanks.


I hope all is well - I thought that I'd missed your daily DX reports 
lately and I was hoping that things are good with you.


Kind regards,

If you want to get into bigger antennas at remote sites, Michael, 
maybe look at a mini-pole to support either a delta loop or a KAZ 
terminated loop.    Two of them could allow a small DKaz.


https://www.sotabeams.co.uk/mini-telescopic-fiberglass-poles/ 



These are quite small when telescoped.  I traveled on the train with 
one in a small suitcase.  I borrowed it from Satoshi Miyauchi in 
Japan, and it is thanks to him that I even heard about it.  You can 
also get a "stake kit", also quite small, that can support that pole.

Hi Mark, thanks for your message on list. It's a different DX

I'm really gonna miss the DKAZ! But there are some compensations for 
me, like well heck, I'm living in Florence...! I'm going to be 
starting out with a 'Frequent Flyer' FSL that Gary is very 
generously sending over to me, and am looking for a portable to go 
with it, as I can't couple it directly to my ELAD. I think I've 
narrowed the choice down to either a Tecsun 660 or a Sony EX5MK2, 
and I will take the bus about 20 minutes to the hills outside of the 
city, a small town called Fiesole where I think reception will be 
much better than in town here. We aren't going to buy a car as there 
really isn't any need to apart from mini DXpeditions as everything 
in the city is in walking range and if we are going on a longer trip 
that needs a car we'll rent one. Most places can be reached though 
through the excellent public transport available. That being said, I 
have been considering ways of trying to make a foldable version of 
your broadband loop so I can bring the ELAD and do some broadband 
captures, which is what I'd also really like to do. Is there any way 
I can use my existing FLG100 with this rather than having to 
construct the amplifier? I'd like to use as many existing parts as 
possible. I sent myself the FLG, the transformers I used for the 
CAT5 and one of Colin's Vactrols from Nova Scotia before I left 
along with a couple of toroids and some other things, and they 
arrived safe and somewhat sound, athough Poste Italia made me do a 
lot of 'splainin what exactly I was trying to import and made me pay 
an import fee.


I'm definitely going to join the groups you mentioned, thanks very 
much for the tips. My Italian is developing, and I can usually make 
myself understood in the present, past perfect and past imperfect 
tenses, but my vocabulary is still quite weak and so English is 
still very helpful. I still think in English. We have a tutor come 
in 3X a week, so we're making some progress.


I will definitely post what I am hearing, and if you )or any of the 
other list members are interested in having me try to assist in an 
ID based on an interval signal or have me make a TOH or other ID 
recording of a particular station please ask and I'll certainly help 
as best I can. It will also be really interesting and not a little 
unreal to consider NAm stations as 'DX'! I'll let you all know what 
I hear.


Thanks again for the message!

Islamic Voice Radio is the dominant one on the Melbourne KiwiSDR (
http://kiwisdr.vk3tlw.net:8073/) and measures 1701.03 right now.

Radio Brisvaani is the dominant one on the Newcastle KiwiSDR (
http://www.marcelpost.com:8073/) and seems to be best, by ear when
listening in USB, at 1701.10 right now.

I could not hear Voice of Charity on either of these two remotes.

Kiwi SDRs are able to be GPS disciplined, so in theory, we should be able
to achieve good frequency measurements (to two decimal places), but I don't
know if all are locked down to a GPS by default, so let these serve only as
a reference point for now.

Don't forget that Chuck Hutton recently reported these offsets from two
years ago, and mentioned they are drift around a bit but the order doesn't
change:

1701.027 Islamic Voice
1701.068 Voice of Charity
1701.081 Brisvaani

The first and last are close to what I'm seeing on these two KiwiSDRs.

666 RUV Iceland is on the air most of the time (maybe 90% when I 
checked)

and is probably still running low power as they weren't super strong in
Reykjavik.

On the east coast of Iceland with a nice water path and generally 
1-4 km
from the water, I had regular very weak daytime reception of 810 BBC 
(North
Scotland) and 693 BBC (not sure which transmitter). I also had some 
hets
(probably including BBC Wales).  I tested several cliffs and didn't 
notice

any gain.  Is it possible that lava rocks lack iron and thus aren't as
good?  I've read that Iceland is low on metals.  This is the best 
daytime

distances I've ever had on MW so I was quite happy!

I did one short session of night time listening on the south coast of
Iceland near Vik.  I didn't hear Faero 531 - so they are still 
inactive.  I
also didn't hear Greenland or any US stations.  I got the best 
reception

from the UK, followed by Spain. Algeria (531 and 549) was good.  I also
tentatively heard Tunisia and Morocco.  The furthest signal was from 
Saudi

Arabia (585).

Reykjavik isn't the best for DXing Europe as it on the coast, but has a
lot of land between it and Europe.

Iceland is an amazingly beautiful country due to the volcanos, though
rather pricy (expect to pay double or more what you do in the US).  We
drove the highway 1 which wraps around the shoreline much of the 
time  and
would provide a lot of opportunities for a more DX oriented visit.  
Most of
the country is open fields and you could also set up long antennas 
without

a problem, assuming the sheep cooperate and that you can figure out who
owns it (or frankly they probably won't care or find out).  It is 
nice and

temperate in the summer, though it can be also be rather cold (40) and
windy (we had 30 mph gusts one day).

Remote receivers are also useful for checking what really is on the air

http://sdrspace.com/Version-2 and http://sdranywhere.com/cloud/sdrweb.py 
, but without map finding interesting new receivers is too slow. I hope 
they will have maps some day.


Mark, have you ever checked my receivers here in eastern Finland? 
Perseus and also SDR-IQ in sdrspace.com/Version-1 . Not really 
noise-free, but relatively quiet and connected to a 300-450 m Beverage 
acc. to time and conditions. Asia starts coming in now around 1400 UTC, 
hopefully today is already a bit better than past weekend.


Is there a way in KiwiSDR network for the user to reduce RF gain? It 
seems to be a problem in some rxs.

Really enjoyed the post, Mark. Good to get the scoop on the less deaf ones
- saves sorting through what has become quite a few!  In addition to the 3
Perseus rxs I have on line, plus SDRIQ, Remotehams etc, I've had a KIWI out
here since last winter.   http://ciw321.cfars.ca:8173/It's multicoupled
into a Wellbrook ALA100n large diamond shaped loop, 80m of wire with the
apex at 120'.  It hears quite well from LW and up. Nigel sent me a
recording of 1116 Brisbane he made on it which was very decent.  It looks
like a few people have been talking about adding the ability to switch
antennas which would be very handy. If anyone knows how to do that (I have
no smarts for Unix) I'd love to adapt it here.  I already have that on one
of the Perseus remotes and it's very handy.

I like to use the map display of the KIWI's at  http://rx.linkfanel.net/
It gives me the most information in one place that I'm aware of.

One feature worth mentioning is that the Kiwi runs in a browser (Chrome etc
but not IE) , no software to install and can run on a variety of platforms.
4 users can connect and tune independently.   My Android runs out of
horsepower with it, but my Ipad works very well. On a poor connection, it
still seems to deliver the audio and spectrum better than any other system
I have tried.  There is a significant delay - several words long - to be
aware of when checking parallels.

The KIWI is a standalone unit with the Beaglebone host computer and the
Kiwi rx (4 channels) in one package, drawing a bit over an amp at 5 volts.
It also has a GPS disciplined frequency reference. Pretty good value for
about 300$ US.

Subject: KiwiSDR's / other remote receivers, comments welcomed
For over 10 years now, online receivers, like station webstreams, have
been a useful tool in getting a clearer listen to stations you get at home
or on DXpedition in scratchier harder-to-analyze form.  It's a good way to
get a better feel for announcer voices, jingles, local place names in news
or advertising, and the sound of different languages (and English dialects).

Online receivers also offer the advantage of showing what propagation is
doing at another location.  That, I feel, is the most valuable contribution
of this resource.  Hams like to use these to see how their own transmitted
signal is "getting out" to intended target areas and to compare the
performance of different transmitting antennas so they'll have the best
set-up selected the next time they try to crack a big pile-up.

Hearing how one's locals sound at a great distance is always interesting.
I've had the opportunity to do that myself in person on trips taken to
Ireland, Newfoundland, Florida, and Texas.  Online tuners can do this and
save you the airfare.

DXTuners / Global Tuners was among the first networks of online
receivers.Way back in 2006, I used a DXTuners online receiver in
Ilfracombe, Cornwall, SE England

I went to Iceland for the past week and did a bit of DXing using a Tecsun
880. It was limited as I was travelling with family, hotel noise levels
varied greatly, and "night" time hours were limited (3-4 hours).

666 RUV Iceland is on the air most of the time (maybe 90% when I checked)
and is probably still running low power as they weren't super strong in
Reykjavik.

On the east coast of Iceland with a nice water path and generally 1-4 km
from the water, I had regular very weak daytime reception of 810 BBC (North
Scotland) and 693 BBC (not sure which transmitter). I also had some hets
(probably including BBC Wales).  I tested several cliffs and didn't notice
any gain.  Is it possible that lava rocks lack iron and thus aren't as
good?  I've read that Iceland is low on metals.  This is the best daytime
distances I've ever had on MW so I was quite happy!

I did one short session of night time listening on the south coast of
Iceland near Vik.  I didn't hear Faero 531 - so they are still inactive.  I
also didn't hear Greenland or any US stations.  I got the best reception
from the UK, followed by Spain. Algeria (531 and 549) was good.  I also
tentatively heard Tunisia and Morocco.  The furthest signal was from Saudi
Arabia (585).

Reykjavik isn't the best for DXing Europe as it on the coast, but has a
lot of land between it and Europe.

Iceland is an amazingly beautiful country due to the volcanos, though
rather pricy (expect to pay double or more what you do in the US).  We
drove the highway 1 which wraps around the shoreline much of the time  and
would provide a lot of opportunities for a more DX oriented visit.  Most of
the country is open fields and you could also set up long antennas without
a problem, assuming the sheep cooperate and that you can figure out who
owns it (or frankly they probably won't care or find out).  It is nice and
temperate in the summer, though it can be also be rather cold (40) and
windy (we had 30 mph gusts one day).

Walt, I'm not so sure that there is a 765 in North Korea. I mean, I know
technically there should be, but I've never *once* heard it, just like 882.
It was just never, ever there. A lot of the stations were off for many
months at a time, but these two frequencies never appeared even after they
fired up everything on their soil at once for New Years Day 2016.

I didn't really monitor 765 actively (you can see it doesn't even appear in
my guide, aside from 765 Daejeon in the daytime, and I couldn't hear that
clearly from 60 miles away at night), mainly because it was too trashed that
I could never get a stable signal. So I'm not saying the station isn't there
since I know it's low power at only 50kw and quite far from my location
along the border, but... I never once heard it in more than a year.

Has anyone else logged it?

quite highly unlikely for an -eup (town) to downgrade its land to a -myeon (rural township). Hwaseong is the

"county" in North America actually, so there are some differences when reporting locations to start

Re: [IRCA] TP for 15 Jan 2017 from Masset

[Mauno Ritola]

If it were before 1500, there is also CRI Urumqi 600 kW beaming to 55°, 
which is quite good for your QTH.

That's 1323 CRI Russian from Shuangyashan, Heilongjiang at 200kw 
aiming northeast and CRI Korean from Huadian, Jilin at 600kw aiming 
almost due south. The latter has Chinese lessons for Korean speakers 
usually right up until they both sign off at 1am (1600 UTC) when all 
the local CRIs turn off. If you listen to my radio project under the 
1323 frequency, you'll actually hear the specific Chinese lesson that 
you're talking about. They had been working on Chinese vs. Korean 
numbers almost every time I tuned in.


1323 Huadian is one of the strongest stations in Seoul, and that 
includes local signals as well. The Russian one can be heard behind it 
most of the time if you really listen closely. I once had it totally 
alone a few minutes before sign-on when the Korean one was off but 
wasn't able to get to my DX spot quickly enough to get a recording of 
it like that. But I do have decent recordings of it otherwise.

Subject: [IRCA] TP for 15 Jan 2017 from Masset

Last morning so much time spent deconstructing and SDR recording. 
From what

I saw a very good Japanese opening and a little of everything. Some
Australia, some China and Korea.  Highlight was 1323 with 2 CRI
simultaneously. One in Russian and the other in an oriental language 
with
Chinese lessons. All this until 16:00, I think.  On to my flight. 
Will send
more complete reports tonight. 73, Walt

Thanks for the info. I have never seen a log of any Korean AFN station outside 
of Korea.  Glad to hear an update on 1440 being stronger, maybe a possibility 
here, but too bad the 1440 on is co/channel with JOWF. I have tried for the AFN

I can confirm that I attempted to hear AFN Korean frequencies when I was in

might have just barely heard a single frequency in the middle of the night,
but only tentatively.  I recall being very surprised by this lack of
reception.  73, Walt

Not necessarily. I think most receivers in globaltuners.com are analogue 
receivers.


And if you tune to a network receiver, you don't see the receiver 
itself, so it doesn't matter much, what kind of receiver it is. Try for 
example sdr.hu receivers.

My first guess on this one would certainly be the Sydney affiliate of Radio

have this programming though... and I'd find it hard to believe it's not

Second, but unlikely, would be Radio Iran, though I don't know the specific

their signal your way for sure.

Anyone who even assumes that would be VOA clearly is language tone-deaf

Re: [IRCA] 1053 Jammer - who hears what?

[Mauno Ritola]

1053 kHz jamming isn't very common here in northern Europe.

12.12.2016, 12:51, Chris Kadlec kirjoitti:

I could really use some assistance from those familiar with any TP listeners in 
**Australia** and regions of the south.

As was mentioned in the past, all of you guys in the west coast areas of North America 
(and apparently northern Europe) commonly hear the "beehive" jammer on 1053 out 
of Seoul, which has an exceptionally poor signal in South Korea as opposed to the far 
stronger (sounding) 250kw siren jammer 16 miles to the west.

So I'm curious in the case of those living to the *south* - as it appears the 
siren jammer is aimed in that direction - if the siren jammer can be heard in 
regions south of Korea instead of the beehive jammer heard elsewhere to the 
north and east.

If anyone can pass this along to anyone who may have such experience, I'd 
really appreciate it! I'd like to have evidence of the direction in which these 
jammers are aimed and as can be seen with the 1323 CRI (Korean vs. Russian) 
signals that are/aren't received in the US and Canada, it's the directional 
stations that really get out. If my thinking is correct, those to the south 
would regularly hear the *Korean* CRI while those in the states would hear the 
Russian one.

Here are the two jammers:

The Seoul beehive jammer is the first half of the clip. The Gimpo siren jammer 
is the last half. Who hears what?

I'm curious as to what DXpeditions are on tap before winter sets in.

"Who's going where when?"

Of greatest interest to me are ones along the US and Canadian Atlantic

coastline such as:

PEI - I think Bruce Conti, Brent Taylor, and some others are signed up

for that

Newfoundland - ?
NJ coast (Long Beach Island?)

Of course, here in the east, results from those outings are augmented

well by near-DXpedition-grade home-based reporters such as Allen Willie in
NL, Michael Yule in NS, Brent Taylor in PEI, Sylvain Naud in QC, a few of
us in New England, and sporadic contributors from other coastal hotspots
such as the NC Outer Banks and south FL.

Still somewhat relevant to me would be news about DXpeditions in Europe,

Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.

The West Coast guys must have some activities cooked up (such as

Rockworks, Grayland, and Haida Gwaii).  Every so often trips to Hawaii are
mentioned.  Japanese and Australian DXers are likely to be active sometime
too.

I'm thinking of doing at least one or two sessions from the car at beach

sites within an hour's drive time.  Typically these would be around local
sunset at sites providing more consistent / strong TA and South American
signals than can normally be obtained at the house.  Maybe I would try to
coordinate a mini-DXpedition night with others' activities in PEI or NL as
I've done in some previous years.

Hi Mauno - thanks so much for identifying this for me, and especially for
pointing out exactly where the ID is in the recording so that I can go back
and listen and try and train my ear a bit. This is very helpful and valuable
for me.

  


It would be great if there was a website similar to interval signals online
where examples of various ID's in different languages were available so that
we could be better able to learn some basics of the languages and assist in
ID's. Unfortunately I'm not in any position to pull something like this
together, with such terrible skills in this area in other than basic
European romance languages.

  


I also remember from long ago a 5 or 6 page pamphlet that was put out by (I
think) NASWA that was authored by (I think) Richard Wood on id'ing various
languages. Of course that's long gone from my collection, but I remember as
a teen finding it very helpful. Today, that info combined with examples that
could be listened to would be an awesome resource!

  


Thanks again Mauno!

Hi all - so I have this log on 612 kHz, below. AA mx, fairly strong, from
0258-0303 UTC. There may be an ID but my ears are not yet accustomed to
picking out AA words and phrases and I have a hard time understanding. I
would normally say Morocco, but they aren't supposed to be on until 0400.
The 2 Saudi stations and the one in Bahrain are all Quranic, so I wouldn't
expect mx and a female announcer. Iraq is too low powered to be plausible.
So that seems to leave Iran and Jordan. I have included a rcdg from 0301:30
to 0303. The music played right through TOH and the announcements start at
0302. If there is anyone that can pick out an ID from this, I'd be really
interested in what it in fact is. I may have heard the word 'Iran' spoken by
the woman, but am not sure.

  


Thanks very much!

Going from memory, I think the CRI Korean service has been on 1323 for 
a long time.  Normally, we hear the Russian service tx from 
Heilongjiang province on 1323 because the antenna apparently points 
this way.  The Korean tx in Jilin has a DA to the south, but has 
occasionally been heard in this part of the world.

The end of August can be a strange and interesting time for transpolar

monitor recording looked lively, and this morning  (30th) showed the first
signs of mainland China this season as geomagnetic conditions worsened.
At 1320UT when we had our grayline to India, JOAK ruled the roost, no
argument.   There were two other carriers as well as JOAK however0.4
and 0.6 lower, 0.9 and 1.9Hz higher, plus a couple of others, and some got
within 10dB or so of JOAK (briefly).

So, I won't join the naysayers on this.   I would encourage other DXers in
the central part of the continent to hunt for this at that time, though
likely it will have to wait until the current geomagnetic upset works
itself out.   Once we're right into the thick of the season, I suspect
chances will become slimmer, as arctic conditions become more "normal".

Is there any recent news of this program? Despite its old "DOS" fashion

It hasn't shown up for me at home either, Nick, but it was pretty obvious during a trip to Ocean Shores, WA last April (in female Chinese, under HLAZ's male Japanese).

Mauno,
   
The Yanbian-1566 Chinese station has always used the PBS programming in an obvious attempt to block the reception of HLAZ in China, a practice which Bill W. says is also frequently done by China in attempts to block VOA and other stations it doesn't want its people to receive. It does not use a noise jammer like the 1053 station in Korea.

Re: [IRCA] 1566-China (Yanbian Jammer) Information

[Mauno Ritola]

So the Chinese we hear is supposed to be from Yanbian PBS? Is FEBC off?

Mauno

1.12.2015, 18:01, d1028g...@comcast.net kirjoitti:

Mauno,
   
That 1566-Yanbian recording was made by Chris Kadlec in Seoul (S. Korea), and the only information he gave along with the recording is pasted below. As you can hear in the MP3 there is a noisy background at times, with a sound like whistling shots of gunfire. This is the first 1566-Yanbian recording I've ever heard with this noise in the background, so I don't know if it was typical of that station's audio. I'm going to ask Chris if he can provide us with some more 1566 recordings so that we can find out. Maybe Bill W. has heard something similar with China's jamming of VOA programming?
   
Gary
   
 From Chris Kadlec:   <<<Here's a recording of 1566 from 12/1/15 0008 local time. (UTC+9). It's in the null of a weaker-than-normal FEBC, weaker because it is directional to the west and airing Chinese, allowing Yanbian to slip in from the other side. After they turned north at 1am, that jammer was gone (65dBu FEBC makes sure of it), but I suspect the jammer signs off with 1206 at 0105 anyway.>>>

I suppose you speak about any Russian MW stations, not just R. Rossii's? 
I have been able to confirm only SIX of them so far. There may be a 
couple active in Far East Russia, but no one has reported them. 810 kHz 
should be off, or has someone heard it in February?

R. Rossii has closed most of its medium wave transmitters. Only the 
following transmitters have been reported on the air after 31 January 
: Matveyevka 936 kHz, Ust-Kan/Ulagan 1350/1353 kHz, Buguruslan 1395 
kHz and Turochak/Ust-Koksa 1440 kHz.

If you have not obtained your copy yet, or perhaps you were undecided, 
there is no better time to discover the latest, fully revised, edition 
of the world's foremost broadcasting directory.


Don't forget you can also order the latest International MW/SW and 
Domestic SW schedules in full colour bargraph format from our website - 
either in physical CD form or as a download.


If you have any issues relating to the purchase of WRTH via Amazon or 
your usual supplier, please visit our website, and let us know - plus 
WRTH can be ordered there and be shipped immediately.

It is such a good location and frequency for Europe, that it should be

Re: [IRCA] 1566 (still) (not) off this morning

[Mauno Ritola]

Also today it was in Korean between 1600-1830. Just a short break at 
1600 for antenna beam change.

Yes, it continued in Korean until 1830 when going to R. Teos in 
Russian, without any break, so naturally went to northern beam already 
at 1600. Let's see, how it will be tomorrow.

Choral mx quite weak both before and after 1800UT on 1566, but by 
1830UT,  just a carrier, though one that is still fairly robust at 
times even after 1830UT


best wishes,

Nick

Presumed HLAZ hanging in after 1700UT, possible FEBC mention on 
the hour, man, then woman singing with piano, noted as late as 1725UT.

Well, today they are after 1600, but in Korean! Maybe until 1730 on

... and checking today: Walt is right, they have reduced even 
more; the new s/off seems to be at 1600! I don't have many files 
from the past two months to check, but it must be a recent change, 
still in the beginning of December they were on until 1730.

That's right: I checked some older files and seems that FEBC 
Chinese has dropped religious English language lesson, that used 
to be between 1730-1830. Seems they are also on 1566.000 kHz 
instead of former .003. They have a short break also earlier at 
1830, when they switched from 265 to 352°..

I imagine you are still seeing the carrier Walt, after it 
fades down.   Even down here, I believe I've seen them sign off, 
carrier disappears. Might be worth running a narrowband Perseus 
file after the general excitement is finished?

Nick, as usual difficult Internet access.  HLAZ is definitely 
off the air before 18:30. Don't know when they sign off.  
I'll need to investigate further. I have over an hour's worth 
of Perseus wav files from this morning 21st January...a superb 
TP morning. First really good morning noted since Saturday

They were heard down here just before 1600UT, Walt; faded out a 
short while later, so can't say what happened after that.  
This morning was probably the best so far in 2015 (not saying 
much), at least on the upper band.  How was it in Masset?

Just in case you were looking for HLAZ 1566, they were actually 
absent
before 17:00 today.  First time I ever missed them. Back on 
when rechecked

an hour later.  73,  Walt. (Masset)
