Re: [IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 8-4

[k7wv]

Gary, that was More FM at on 531 kHz around 1258-1300 on our wild DXing session 
from the cliff. Location "Alexandra" mentioned at end of Curtain store 
commercial, and then "More FM" by announcer. 
https://app.box.com/s/5enl8w5c6rn4ztbodqbqnjzhy5uonvly 

As for the ABC affiliate 6DL on the same frequency, I was unable to get a match 
with 6WA as Fiji 1 was trashing it to the point of not being able to decipher 
but a few words and then 531 had faded down. However, on 531 they were 
discussing "racing" and the announcer says."..and ABC will go there". Has to be 
6DL https://app.box.com/s/bo7ejkop0eklkt5pa931ea24wkjuvel2 

A good and satisfying session was had today, Aug 5 although it could not match 
yesterday's dazzling session, it was better than any of the 3 we attended last 
year with our Japanese DXer guests. 6WA was in strongly at 1315.

As reported earlier it was a pretty wild ocean cliff session, with both Tom and 
I judging it to have been the most thrilling ever at Rockwork 4. There was 
enhanced propagation to both Australia and New Zealand, with Fiji joining in 
the bonanza as well. Some highlights were the best-ever signals from both 
558-Fiji and 558-6WA (in a snarl much of the time), the best-ever signal from 
the 2.5 kW Radio Kahungunu, unusual Kiwi-Oz mixes across the band, and 558-Fiji 
sticking around at an S5 level until 1350, 15 minutes after Oz and NZ had 
bailed. The underperforming Fiji of the past 2 years has suddenly become a 
DU-DX powerhouse. 

There is no way to make a detailed report of such a wild session without 
extensive file review (which I assume that Tom will be doing for weeks), but 
some of the highlight signals are linked below. While still in total darkness 
Tom and I both noticed that Kiwi propagation was unusually good around 1200, 
and we thought it would turn out to be a great Kiwi morning. It was, but in the 
increasing daylight the Australian signals also got a major boost, along with 
558-Fiji. Snarling frequency fights broke out across the band as enhanced DU 
propagation kicked in throughout the entire South Pacific. Neither Tom or I had 
ever heard anything like it., but it certainly more than made up for Tom's 
dicey luck the past two days. His Perseus recordings from today may become real 
classics. 

531 More FM? Sounds like another Kiwi ad string (minus the "Sheila") at 1258, 
but I'm certainly no expert on Kiwi English. In a mix with PI and an Oz talk 
station throughout the session 
https://app.box.com/s/jtq9cyi0te4bbri3tv7puzvt289fpsmx 

531 UnID-Oz ABC-sounding talk hanging around at 1253 over and under PI and the 
rest. 558-6WA was in at the time but I didn't think to check for a parallel. 
Maybe 6DL? https://app.box.com/s/688ujh8qu23t7jl5dfuvwzsc6iudsw0e 

558 Radio Fiji One Suva, Fiji, 10 kW The real star of the session, pounding in 
with serious strength after its recent rejuvenation. Was still easily audible 
at 1350 during final antenna dismantling. These two MP3's (at 1307 and 1323) 
were the strongest recordings ever made of the station at the ocean cliff 
https://app.box.com/s/13ra6q2edyniegz3jnwii1nlu6dcoz05 
https://app.box.com/s/ykjkqqfa59l7h2rfcedhudikwn8ayfye 

558 6WA Wagin, Australia, 50 kW In a snarl with Fiji for much of sunrise 
enhancement, the Western Australian station (with programming matching the 
"Overnights" podcast on the ABC website) made a return appearance at 1319 to 
repeat the North American Ultralight DXing distance record of 9,138 miles / 
14,705 km. First heard at this cliff in August of 2015 
https://app.box.com/s/cze5omzc1x01p28gpdo44wylhdl61l6y 

603 Oz-Radio Waatea Mix For the first time ever, at 1254 an Oz station 
dominates the NZ Maori powerhouse Radio Waatea at the "Kiwi Cliff." Prior to 
this I had never even heard any competition for Radio Waatea on the frequency 
(during 12 ocean cliff DXpeditions here) 
https://app.box.com/s/i3mgrjxw0dwadrtc2c69x7f2f7h6qzua 

765 Radio Kahungunu Napier-Hastings, NZ, 2.5 kW Yikes! The Kiwi Maori station 
melting down my CC Skywave's front end is running only 2.5 kW of power! Even 
with its reputation as an overachiever, this signal is straight out of science 
fiction. There is apparently a new Maori net ID at 1:30 into the recording at 
the 1300 TOH, but no Maori translator is currently available at the cliff

All; 
The driver was the problem. I have just solved the problem by deleting the 
device from device manager and reinstalling with a different driver that it 
likes with a little trickery (it's unsigned). Ready for Cliffside action in the 
AM. 

Today's conditions were underwhelming with the often heard big stations only 
and low band only. With the two Japanese DXers Satoshi and Hiroo here we can 
hope for improvement with at least 5 DXers at the cliffs tomorrow.

You got it Chuck, Laptop will not recognize the Perseus hardware. Been trying 
drivers all day to no avail. Zadig installer included. The signed drivers by 
Nico are a dead link. Huge Win 10 update installed uncommanded on July 4 while 
visiting Denver with the laptop. No restore point created. I do have backup in 
the form of the MSI Wind U100 that never failed to capture DX. It's 4 hours 
away in Seattle. My bad.

Very poor conditions prevailed this morning, such a disappointment after 
yesterday's very good results here.  Used the same unattended recording times 
and durations as yesterday, 1 or 2 minute Perseus recordings at 1159, 1259, 
1324 and 1341 UTC.  Wellbrook loop remained on the Asian (NW) loop. Most of the 
JA big guns were weak hets or totally absent.

Re: [IRCA] Brier, WA TP's for 9/26/2011 .... or was it the 25th?

[k7wv]

Hi Nick; 



It really was the 26th!  I listened to the later 1341 utc recording first and 
could hardly believe it was that decent considering the other reports. 
Earlier times were considerably less good but still OK. Just a brief bit of 
dawn enhancement I guess, but I'll take it.  One of the few times this QTH can 
be mentioned in the same sentence as Haida Gwaii!! 



Best Wishes--

Tom, I just realized that my own TP report to the

anything important late in the evening).did you do the same? 

Bruce's report for the 26th was fairly dismal, 
and I didn't report (for real) the 26th due to 
poor results.  On the contrary, conditions were 
pretty good on Haida Gwaii according to Walt 
Salmaniw, so maybe your conditions are closer to Haida Gwaii's, hi.

Poor conditions prevailed once again with the exception of 819 N. Korea just 
after 1400Z. Nice signal, but not a new one for the log. As Bruce noted, KGNW 
was off the air probably due to the snow. On 820 itself, I had WBAP there at 
1300Z, XEABCA Mexicali at 1400Z and KUTR from Utah at 1500Z, solid ID's from 
all three. No sign of KCBF Fairbanks or any other Alaskan for that matter.

Not a great morning and down from yesterday. Alaska, however was back nicely 
with at least 4 in with ID's. KTKN Ketchikan totally dominating 930 Khz at 
1400Z and 1500Z, and KGTL 620 Homer over KPOJ at 1500Z. Asian signals were 
almost all big guns and were down in strength from yesterday. Koreans were 
paticularly poor this morning and the few China stations were weak. LWBC was 
rather mediocre as well. Little dawn enhancement this morning, but just enough 
to bring a few Chinese into audio at 1500Z.

A different and somewhat better morning than yesterday, except the Alaskans 
were totally missing today. More China in however and the CRI on 603 was a new 
one for the log. As others have mentioned, no dawn enhancement at all, and dawn 
degradation if anything. 1400Z seemed to be the peak of the four times sampled 
and was considerably better than 1500Z when even some big guns (693, 828) were 
absent.

A better morning than yesterday here. Japan really strong today with some 2nd 
tier stations, China and Korea sprinkled in. Russia made a nice comeback as 
well with 576 Mayak back in. Overall a pretty satisfactory late-season morning 
but nothing new in the log. LWBC was both louder and more plentiful than 24 
hours ago with 234 Khz in today. At least 3 Alaskans with KTKN 930 pounding in, 
and the seldom heard KSDP 830.

[IRCA] Brier, WA TP's for 11/7/10

[k7wv]

A pretty good morning here. TOH recorder made the switchover to Pacific 
Standard Time by making all the recordings 1 hour later than desired so only 
the first three were useful. Lots of hets just below audio threshold noted, 
many on unusual freq's. Report is only for those stn's heard in audio. Korea 
was unusually loud with some 2nd tier JA's and plenty of Chinese stations. 
Several frequencies UNID (792, 819, 864, 1476) as it could have been CC or KK. 
Hopefuly more careful listening will provide clues. I won't be able to compare 
this morning's results to yesterday until late tonight as I am attending an 
event all day and haven't listened to those samples yet. 

The following times sampled this morning: 1359Z, 1445Z, 1459Z, 1535Z, 1559Z for 
1-2 
minutes each using Perseus (Change to standard time delayed the preset times 
one hour).

Regarding 1476 KHz at 1500Z;

Nick,
I just listened again and it seems to be just four pips of equal tone. There 
was a man just prior to the pips and a YL after and it sounded Chinese (not the 
standard guangbo dientai phrase though.)

Thanks--Tom R

1476 I think is what I was hearing also Tom.   Do you just hear the 4 
ips (odd for China, but that's what it seems to be), or do you hear 
nother set of pips offset by a fraction of a second?
Thanks.
Nick

[k7wv]

I am a day late with these loggings like Nick, but wanted to get this reported 
as the conditions weren't bad. I added 1500Z to the times sampled but 1435Z was 
still by far the best. Not quite as lively as yesterday (the 4th) but China in 
again and different stations rising to the top this time like 945 and 963. LWBC 
was a little better than the 4th with 6 stations in and all a little louder. No 
Alaska noted.

The following times sampled this morning: 1259Z, 1335Z, 1359Z, 1435Z, 1459Z for 
1-2 
minutes each using Perseus.

The following were heard in audio:

[k7wv]

Mediocre morning until I checked the 1435Z recording. Wow, now that's dawn 
enhancement! China all over the place and Russia too. JA's were mostly big guns 
only. Mayak on 666 and CNR-1 on 1593 new ones for the log.  I may be able to 
pull more out after further listening to the 1-minute sample. Most of these 
were totally absent or hets at 1400Z.
No Alaska noted however, and the LWBC Russians were well down from the past 4 
or 5 mornings with 189 being best again this morning and 234 absent.

The following times sampled this morning: 1259Z, 1335Z, 1359Z, 1435Z for 1-3

Another improvement here this morning, with several Chinese and good signals 
from Russia on LW and MW. Alaska coming back with KTKN in. 171 returns on LWBC, 
but just above threshold audio and the other R. Rossii were somewhat weaker 
than the last two mornings. Lots of hets noted just below audio threshold. 
Prior to the 1435Z sample conditions were generally poor, indicating decent 
dawn enhancement today.

The following times sampled this morning: 1259Z, 1335Z, 1359Z, 1435Z for 1-3 
minutes each using Perseus.

A better showing from yesterday but not by much. A couple Chinese in this 
morning with 1206 especially good. Best sampling by far was at 1435Z, getting 
some boost from dawn enhancement. LW band had only five 'R. Rossii' in this 
morning with no sign of 171 today. But the loudest signals heard all season 
from 153 and 234. Also, no Alaskans to be heard for yet another morning.

Down a little from yesterday especially on MW. Longwave broadcast continues to 
be quite good however. Six R. Rossii stations in this morning. Strong carrier 
on 164 Mongolia but no audio at the sampled times (poor audio was noted there 
yesterday). Also had a carrier on 162 Khz today. The JA big guns were doing 
well at 1425Z, getting some dawn enhancement for a change. No Alaskans heard 
for another morning.

A vast improvement over 24 hours ago. Lower half of the band was especially 
decent, though not quite back to average, with the upper half presenting few 
signals with nothing strong. Dawn enhancement was lackluster this morning with 
little improvement noted. Five R. Rossii LWBC in this morning but no Alaska 
noted. Nothing new heard.

Downright poor is the only way to describe the disappointing Asian reception 
this morning. Curiously, the Russian LWBC stns were good at times and four of 
them in. Everything else was dreadful.  Let's hope for better mornings to come 
this season.

A mediocre morning at best. Asiatic TP's practically died out at 1400Z, only to

Russians were best at 1259Z and went downhill from there. No Alaskans noted 
this morning..

[IRCA] TP's from Brier, WA 10/26/10

[k7wv]

Back at the home QTH after a weekend at Grayland in which I brought the 
ALA-100M along to test performance at the beach (it did great). 
A little below average here this morning with only 3 times sampled. Best 
performance came late, during the 1422Z sampling. A surprise that the R. Rossii 
LWBC stations were still good at this late hour. The Japanese and Korean big 
guns came to life and a couple China stns in decent audio as well. No Alaskans 
noted.

Times sampled: 1335Z, 1358Z, 1422Z for 1 to 3 minutes each using Perseus.

The following heard in audio:

Conditions took a turn for the worse today, well down from yesterday. Most of 
the audio broke late, during the 1415Z capture and not before. Even the 
venerable 594 JOAK faltered today, heard poorly only at at 1415Z. Exceptions 
were the R. Rossii LWBC stations, 4 of which were in at 1300Z, much improved 
from yesterday.

Back monitoring after a computer glitch kept Perseus from recording for 10/14. 
Back on the NW loop (after that DU fun several days ago on the SW element). 
Very poor conditions. Only JOAK Japan 594 (1400Z) and VOA Thailand 1575 
(presumed at 1415Z) had audio. Hets on 693 and a couple others.

Yesterday's turbo-charged Hawaii signals on the NW loop convinced me to switch 
to the SW loop for this morning's Perseus captures. Although it wasn't as 
pronounced as yesterday (no reprise of KMVI 550), the other HI stations from 
yesterday were in pretty well and a very nice slate of DU's. 
Only one JA heard, 594, and at 1414Z it was totally buried by a huge 3WV. I'll 
leave the SW loop connected for another night!
Following times sampled this morning: 1300Z, 1345Z, 1400Z, 1414Z using Perseus. 
The following heard in audio:

576  2RN presumed (Australia), man reading news at 1400Z, overcoming KVI

Poor showing from Asia, worst of the season. But stunning, loud Hawaii where 
there were Alaskans only yesterday. I've never heard KRTR this good here. All 
on the NW loop! Wish I was able to be at the dials this morning, would have 
switched over to the SW loop for some fun. Currently I have to go outside and 
physically move the Wellbrook module to switch loop elements, so there's no 
doubt this was the NW loop.
Following times sampled this morning: 1300Z, 1345Z, 1400Z, 1414Z using Perseus. 
The following heard in audio:

594  JOAK NHK1 Tokyo (Japan) good at both 1300Z and 1400Z
603  HLSA presumed (S. Korea) weak
612  UNID something at 1400Z, barely in audio
650  KRTR Honolulu HI Clear as I have ever heard it with TOH ID and on the NW 
loop!
670  KPUA Hilo, HI  Strong and clear with solid TOH ID. 
693  JOAB NHK2 Tokyo (Japan) poor to fair at 1300Z
747  JOUB  NHK2 Sapporo (Japan) poor, getting lost in KXL splatter

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-2

[k7wv]

Hi Gary;

I had JOIP Oita in here nicely on 639 at 1400Z Sep 30 2010. A clear NHK1 //594. 
Also had Koriyama on 846 the same morning, along with the 675 NHK1 synchros, 
all 5 KW.  I'd say JOIP is an excellent candidate for your 639 station. Even 
though the big JA guns were down somewhat on Oct 1 the band does strange 
things. The 1 KW 1602 synchros were audible here, for instance.

73 and have fun with the TP's

Hello All,

The Chinese TP's were really strong here this  morning, and several 
ainland stations had their strongest audio ever. 981-CNR1  was really booming 
n on a very noisy frequency (980-CKNW is a daytimer  here, and Seattle 
oise from 950 and 1000 doesn't help) for a first-ever  Puyallup logging (the 
tation is a regular at Grayland). 621-China  (presumed Heilongjiang) had its 
est audio of the season, and many other  second-tier Chinese stations had 
ecent strength. Like Bruce and Tim  have already observed, though, this 
orning's TP propagation was pretty  selective, and the Japanese stations 
enerally didn't share in the  increased-strength bonanza.

The most interesting signal of the morning,  though, was a persistent 
siatic TP co-channel mixing with 639-CNR1 around  1406-- the first time any 
sian co-channel had been heard here on 639. The  station certainly wasn't 
iji (which was looped out, in this DU-dead zone), and  had strength which 
pproached that of CNR1 at times. I made a couple of  headphone recommended 
P3's, but since the Grayland and Masset archives don't  show too much here 
xcept CNR1, it's a real mystery. Congratulations to Bruce  and Tim for 
heir loggings of 1170-VOA in the Philippines-- one that I certainly  would 
ave checked, if alerted. It should receive due attention  tomorrow :-) 

The following were received on a C.Crane SWP  Slider model (7.5 
oopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned  passive loop (in the 
ack 
ard):

58  JOCR  Kobe, Japan  Weak Japanese speech around  1328

I heard Russian on 1010 with no TOH ID (other than in Russian) on yesterday 
morning's Perseus recording. Figured it had to be a KOOR format change. Thanks 
for confirming.

Re: [IRCA] Question for Perseus users

[k7wv]

Hi Mike;

I had a computer failure in mid-late October so after doing a factory reset 
of the drive I had to go through the steps to reinstall and configure Perseus. 
I did indeed have to download and install Net Framework 3.5 and Com0com as well 
to support the timer software. No issues to report and my Perseus is working 
fine. I am using the TOTH-Recorder utility as it's the only one of several 
available Perseus timers I have gotten to work perfectly on this machine 
running Vista Home Premium. It has been a joy listening to and analyzing the 
morning TP's with 1600 Khz recorded bandwidth without having to get up at 
insane hours. You set the bandwidth, center frequency, start, stop times and 
duration right from the timer screen, and you can have as many sessions during 
the night as you want. I only use local time with the timer as it can be off an 
hour with UTC. As for Perseus itself, only UTC. I have not found a way to 
change it except by altering the computer's clock.

Hi Everyone:
I've had my Perseus a few weeks now and after a few minor hiccups early on, 
verything is now working as it should, though I wish there was a way to change 
he time on it's display to show local time instead of being permanently set to 
TC, which I so rarely use. In order to realize more of it's incredible 
otential I would like to install the Perseus Record Scheduler ( 
ttp://prs.redirectme.net/ ) so I can record at all those unearthly TOH periods 
efore local sunrise, and, more importantly, long before I get up. However, in 
rder do that the instructions tell me that I need to download and instal 
icrosoft's .Net Framework 3.5.  And the Microsoft download website tells me I 
eed to download and install Windows Installer 3.1. Before I attempt this I 
ould like to ask other Perseus users in the group about any potential pitfalls, 
roblems, dangers I might encounter doing so. Up until last night I had never 
ven heard of these programs, so I'm flying blind here and I am not i!
nstrument rated. Any warnings, suggestions would be appreciated. 
Mike in St Isidore, AB.

Subject: [IRCA] RUSSIAN ON 1710 IDENTIFIED


I drove up to the area of the 1710 Russian language station in the southern 
part of Everett today and taped what appeared to be an ID in the form of Radio 
MV. I was all ready to send copies to Walter Salmaniw, Dennis Vroomski and 
Mauno Ritola when I thought I had better test my hearing by Googling Radio 
MV. It was there.?
?
This is Russian Christian Radio, Box 523, Mount Vernon, WA 98273, (425) 
296-7829. The web site is in Cyrillic so I clicked a word which looked like 
Kontact and voila, the location in English appeared. The audio is available 
on line. I didn't see 1710 mentioned anywhere. As for the significance of Radio 
MV, perhaps it simply stands for Mount Vernon...?
?
While driving up I-5, it started appearing at Exit 175; I could identify it as 
Russian by Exit 178. Its coverage does not seem remarkable for a Part 15 
station, at least from my car.?
?
If anyone would like a copy of the audio, let me know and I will send it off 
list. It is 2MB mp3 and is 2:08 in length.?

After work today I used a portable radio with a ferrite antenna and zeroed in 
on the transmitter. Just a few blocks west from the Home Depot as mentioned 
earlier. Appears to be mounted to the roof of a private residence.

Yesterday I talked with the CE of KCIS-630 who was intrigued enough  
to ask a friend (a contract engineer) to check it out. The results:

 Chris actually found the transmitter up here in Lynnwood. Near the  
 Home Depot between Highway 99 and Boeing field. They aren't putting  
 out very much signal. 100 mv from across the street. Chris says  
 they are using something like a citizen's band antenna on a two  
 story building. Perhaps there are other 'pirates' out there doing  
 the same thing.

 Mill Creek and Lynnwood are about five air miles apart but based on  
the mv reading from across the street, it seems unlikely that a  
single station at either location would be loud at the other. At  
the same time, unless they were synced (unlikely), they would clash  
significantly between both locations.

Anyone want to hit both locations on the same day?

The house next to it was 2324 119th St SW unit 2 so it stands to reason that 
the house with the xmtr is unit 1. Couldn't see their house number but there 
were several cars parked there and the garage door was open. Looks like they
