[IRCA] 1430 kHz USA Radio News

[Paul Crankshaw]

Does anyone know who might run USA Radio News on 1430 kHz - heard here 
at 0900 utc this morning?  There was no local id noted - news just 
running through toth.

[IRCA] Overnight conditions

[Paul Crankshaw]

Hi

This is an observation on overnight TA conditions from across the pond.

There appeared to be a wipe out of TA signals around 0500 utc. I do a 
plot of carriers on each frequency and nearly every frequency shows 
audio disappearing at around that time ... almost as if a plug has been 
pulled.


It would be interesting to learn if anyone 'on the other side' noticed this.

I'm attaching a plot of 1430 kHz, which is typical of just about every 
frequency The white/blue fuzz around a carrier represents audio present 
and you can see what happens at 0500.

[IRCA] 1560 WFME toth

[Paul Crankshaw]

For a week now the overnight  toth id of 1560 WFME has been a corrupted 
recording. You would have thought someone might have noticed by now.

Re: [IRCA] Fwd: Re: Topband: Improving condx?

[Paul Crankshaw]

Conditions much improved here overnight though no WCNA.  Strong sigs 
from MI and IL as well as Mex, AL, TX.  However, I'm told John Faulkner 
on holiday on the Isle of Skye in NW Scotland has been hearing WCNA so 
maybe the good conditions will drift another 125 miles further south.

Superb conditions to EU from IL last night as well.  Definitely the best

Greetings Topbanders. . .
I got on the air on TB late last evening about 11:00 p.m. Central

Standard

Time and had a pleasant surprise.  I had been QRV 160 earlier in the
evening and found conditions to EU to be poor (when I have trouble

copying

SV3RF, F5IN, HA8RM, etc., things are bad).  However, I got back on later
having suspicions that maybe conditions were beginning to improve so I
started calling CQ.  I was pleasantly surprised and ended up working 32

EU

stations (not a bad run from here in the Midwest).  It wasn’t a

continuous

run as I stopped to tune around from time to time to see what else might

be

going on.  I could have worked more stations but was tired and went to

bed.

The real surprise was well over half the EU stations worked were either

new

call signs for 160m or all time new call signs.  I was careful to make

sure

I was getting call signs accurately so

I’m confident the “unique†call


signs were indeed valid.  As we get further

into the season I’ve noticed


the past week or so this pattern of improving conditions as EU SR
approaches.  It most definitely has not always been that way this season
here in Iowa.  In any case, it might pay for you stateside guys to stay

up

a little late as EU seems to waiting.

Re: [IRCA] First report from Murray Harbour, PEI

Hi Walt

Yes, you are correct.  I should have checked a more official source than 
this.


http://radiomap.eu/uk/play/bbc_merseyside

I wouldn't expect BBC Radio Cumbria to make any references to Liverpool 
in normal programming. I checked today at 0900 and I heard BBC Radio 
Newcastle - it's just a pity I wasn't recording yesterday.


You can hear yesterday's BBC Radio Cumbria 0600-0903 programme here, 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04cl75s ending with traffic and news 
just after 02:58 on the recording.  The announcement at toth is


"On FM, AM online and on Freeview. The heart of the county for more than 
40 years, this is BBC Radio Cumbria"  Could that be what you heard?

Subject: unattended Perseus recording scheduler (HDSDR)

After considering add-on programs such as Mestor to work with the

"native"

Perseus software to enable scheduled unattended recordings, I decided to
give HDSDR a try instead since it embodies receiver control and

scheduling

inside the same program.  (This stuff is "old hat" to some of you I
suppose.)


Last night I did three successful unattended captures at 8 p.m., 1 a.m,
and 5 a.m. EDT (, 0500, 0900 UTC).  These were on the south antenna
since the east one is presently out of service.  Cursory playbacks don't
show anything particularly rare.  As usual, there were many massive

Cubans

but conditions weren't auroral enough for total suppression of Lakes area
domestic pests (ON, OH, MI, IL) off the side of the antenna.  But at

least

I have a new useful tool when we do get a killer aurora sometime.


The set-up is fairly simple.

Go to the HDSDR website ' http://www.hdsdr.de/ '.


At the bottom of the screen there is a blue "Download" button.  When you
click on that you get a pop up to save the self-extracting executable
"HDSDR_install.exe" to your hard drive (typically to the Downloads

folder).


Navigate to your downloads folder and run "HDSDR_install.exe".


Follow the prompts in the set-up wizard and allow the program to install
files to "C:\Program Files\HDSDR".


You can open the program but there is one more necessary step, so exit it
for the time being.


Go to the Perseus website ' http://microtelecom.it/perseus/software.html
'.


On the right side of the page, near the bottom, is a highlighted link
"ExtIO DLL for Studio1 - Winrad".  Click that.  You will be downloading
"ExtIO_perseus2v3b.zip".


Open that zip and copy the files in it to the "C:\Program Files\HDSDR"
folder.


Go back to your desktop and click the HDSDR icon to start the program.


The scheduler, accessible by the "Options [F7]" button, is fairly
straightforward to set up.


There is no formal HDSDR manual but the ' http://www.hdsdr.de/ ' website
does have links to various user-written guides which may or may not

address

your specific questions.  The Perseus YahooGroup may also be useful if

you

get stuck on something.


It should be noted that the software will operate other SDR receivers.
Those will have their own set-up idiosyncracies including different ExtIO
DLL drivers to get.

Re: [IRCA] Remote Termination on DKAZ and EWE

[Paul Crankshaw]

I'm now using Colin's Vactrol with a EWE and it works fine.  Just 
finished digging a trench across the grass to hide the  bell wire (don't 
know if same term is used 'over there') to connect the control unit and 
resistor.

Hi James,

Haven't seen a reply on this, so don't know if you had already planned 
the transformer / lamp cord / potentiometer option.  (a version is at 
http://www.bamlog.com/vartermloop.htm).   If so, and you want to 
recover from the 5k pot purchase, and have some fixed resistors in the 
1.2 - 1.8 kilohm around, I can send you a diagram that should fill the 
bill.


As far as the Vactrol and the EWE, I've seen a couple of references 
saying that won't work, but am not sure I understand why not.   It 
won't work with Mark Connelly's clever arrangement with Flag antennas 
where the control voltage is fed via the receiver feedline, and then 
through the Flag itself, but many people (including Colin Newell) are 
now using a separate control line (such as lamp cord).  In that case, 
I would think there should be no problem using a Vactrol with a EWE 
antenna, as the "resistor" in the Vactrol is completely isolated from 
the control line.


best wishes,

Nick

James,

Assuming that I understand your plans correctly you're planning on using
the pot in the shack with lamp cord running from it to the DKAZ. The
problem here is that the two wire cord will become part of the 
antenna and

screw up the pattern and null. To do what you plan to do, you need a
transformer at the end of the antenna to start with.

Colin Newell of IRCA is making a selling Vactrol setups for a very fair
price. http://www.dxer.ca/

Perhaps if you ask him, he could make one for you if you want to use 
your

lamp cord rather than cable to power it.

After installing a Vactrol setup here, made for me by a good DX friend I
feel strongly that this is the way to go for remote control of Rt. My 
fixed
resistor Rt was set to be very good via much trial and error. 
However, the
Vactrol is every bit as good as the fixed Rt on all freqs and I can 
usually
tweak in a few more dB of null on a station and not hurt the null of 
other
stations. It is also useful to adjust Rt in some cases for improving 
nulls
of stuff at large angles to the exact back end or to improve nulls

or low end.

You won't be able to use this type of setup with a EWE since it is
connected to ground, but there are ways around that. However, I am not a
circuits guy so I am unsure how to do that.

I'd use a Vactrol if you want to remotely vary Rt.   73 KAZ out to test
this setup at night.

[IRCA] 1490 kHz unID

[Paul Crankshaw]

Hi

I've run out of ideas for identifying this station, heard on 1490 kHz at 
0100 on 15 February. The call/location don't seem to match anything on 
the frequency.


I wonder if it might be local to anyone.

It was preceeded by "ESPN Deportes" which I suspect was WCEC Haverhill 
MA but I think these are two distinct stations.

At 0300 WABH is audible here but playing back Perseus the noise

to volume levels.

[IRCA] Overnight conditions

[Paul Crankshaw]

Conditions were very disturbed overnight with NA being wiped out and 
replaced by LA.


 I leave my Perseus receiver on 1050 kHz overnight and the usual plot 
of carriers from approx  utc (at the top) to 0630 utc looks like  this

http://share.cx.com/DmLX7y

Last night this was the plot
http://share.cx.com/bsrGz2

There are a lot of discontinuities as small changes in received carrier 
frequency occur.  Of the two strong (white) carriers, the left hand one, 
which I think is WEPN, gets wiped out at around 0445 utc.

times, however no BBC ID heard.

  It was only in for a short time around 19:45 UTC today. It soon vanished with the 
Iran & Spanish stations becoming even stronger.

Is BBC Radio Jersey still operating on AM 1026 currently ?

European Medium Wave Guide is still listing it,  and only at 1000 watts.

I know this isn't a lot of info to help and I'll likely have to try and listen

I definately hear a an R as the last
letter in the second set of call
letters at the end of the clip.. but after listening to it 5
times , that
doens't sound quite like an E right before the R.

Also, it almost sounds like he's saying  "1300 W**R"
and not 1390.

That being said, the 3rd letter, almost sounds like a P...
but I can't find
anything but WMER on 1390 that even remotely fits.. and I
can't find
anything on 1300 at all that fits.

Re: [IRCA] Perseus problem

When recording always make sure "Zoom" is selected.It reduces demands on

Jim Renfrew, Holley NY

My Perseus occasionally starts to hiccup and choke at times, typically 
when the AVG scan kicks on as I am reviewing files.  It's overloading 
and the audio starts to go wacky.  So I've learned to shut off the 
scan when I am working with the Perseus, or to run the scan before I 
begin to review files.


Several times now, once in Newfoundland, and now at home, the 
hiccuping and choking has happened during recording,  Case in point, 
my MAR 10 2157-2202 EST recording.  Starts out fine, but two minutes 
in it begins to go bad.  In the latter case, I think this may have 
happened because I was nearing capacity on my hard drive.  I still had 
several GBs space available, so maybe it becomes harder for it to find 
actual physical space on the drive at that point. Just my best guess.


One technique that helps me recover useful audio from this section is 
to choose short 10-15 second segments and then loop it.  It continues 
to choke, but on the second or third try it begins to even out and I 
can understand it.  Still a hiccup or two (usually in the middle of 
the ID!) but it seems to work.  However, it slows down an already slow 
process.

Hello To All,

Heard the KRPI Test this morning with two different morse code segments
later on in the test. There was a slight hint of music peaking a bit at
times as well parallel to what was on their web feed.

At the time another Spanish speaking station with light music was also
weakly heard on the frequency.

Two ultralights were used, first the SRF-M37W with no success, then the
SRF-39FP which did manage to capture the code and music very weakly 
coming

through.

Receiver : SRF-39FP barefoot

1550 - KRPI Ferndale, Washington

ULR Station # 697 ULR State # 37

Thanks to the folks responsible for arranging the test

I remember logging this one previously as KOQT from Alberta when I lived
there

Thanks Neil and Paul

So that's why I couldn't identify the call - WMID 1340 is the sister 
station of WCMC 1230.


I think I hear "Wildwood" in the id at the start of the clip but not 
100%.  There is a slight discontinuity, not very clear in the recording, 
which might be a switch from WCMC to WMID for the top of the hour.

[paul crankshaw]

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help with this id

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mwdx/files/1230unid.mp3
The recording is in USB, followed by AM

It's a US station recorded on 1230 kHz at 2200 UTC on Saturday here in 
Scotland


There is a "Fox AM 12-30" followed by a sung id.  And of course "powered 
by a million watts of memories" is clear


There also seems to be an id at the start of the clip which doesn't 
correspond to the one at the end.


I also hear what sounds like "now serving Green Bay county" although WI 
is unlikely here at 2200 UTC.

Thanks for that. I just can't make out  the locations mentioned.

When the actress Maggie Smith was preparing for the filming of "The

[IRCA] (A little OT) 33 MHz - what is being said?

[paul crankshaw]

This was recorded on  by a listener in the south of England on 33.820 
MHz. Can any US listener make sense of what is being said, or can you 
narrow down the location of the accent?

I believe it's going ahead on schedule, so I'll be listening on 1550 tonight.
I checked the CBC Windsor web pages, and they make no mention of special
programming, but they do remind listeners that the changeover is effective
October 1.  I expect that CBE will disappear with little or no fanfare.

I noticed WZRK "The Avenue" under CBE last night around 2300 EDT, obviously
still on day power, so it looks like they're destined to become a new pest
here.

Now, if only WQEW-1560 would stop spewing crud all over 1550...

Re: [IRCA] Fw: X-class flare

[paul crankshaw]

Conditions seemed very auroral here last night. I used my Perseus 
receiver and Spectrum Laboratory software to plot transatlantic carriers 
overnight on 1400 kHz and there was plenty of evidence of Doppler shifon 
thein carriers:


http://paulc.fileave.com/1400.jpg

The carrier on 1400.009 is CBG St John's Newfoundland and is the most 
common station received here. Whereas I normally get a thin straight 
line there was all sorts of distortion on it and on many other carriers 
too. It all seemed to switch off as if by magic at local sunrise here - 
0745.

automation know to ID at the TOH?  I have always wondered about
this.  I
understand that if a station gets its programming off of a bird, that
would still flow just fine but if a daytimer is on in error at 4
AM how
would the system know to insert ID's and ads and not just have
dead air
during the local drop in times?  Just curious.

73,
Dave in Indy

Paul-

They may have had a technical problem that either caused the
station to
sign on too early today or perhaps a problem that caused them to never
sign off yesterday.  NIce catch!

1430 WDIC Clinchco VA heard here in Scotland at 0900 UTC today with a
fairish signal, although it is shown as being a daytimer.

Any ideas? I presume 4 am would not be 'daytime' in VA!

Hi Everyone:

UTC, which I so rarely use. In order to realize more of it's incredible 
potential I would like to install the Perseus Record Scheduler ( 
http://prs.redirectme.net/ ) so I can record at all those unearthly TOH periods 
before local sunrise, and, more importantly, long before I get up. However, in 
order do that the instructions tell me that I need to download and instal 
Microsoft's .Net Framework 3.5.  And the Microsoft download website tells me I 
need to download and install Windows Installer 3.1. Before I attempt this I 
would like to ask other Perseus users in the group about any potential 
pitfalls, problems, dangers I might encounter doing so. Up until last night I 
had never even heard of these programs, so I'm flying blind here and I am not!

Thanks everyone for the input. I reckoned it was KDHL and am pleased 
that is the considered view. Indeed having run the clip very many times 
I agree with Markku that KDHL is in there.


It's a lesson in persistence and detective work since for a a long time

[IRCA] 930 Arabic and warble

[Paul Crankshaw]

Does anyone have any ideas about the source of the Arabic chanting and 
warble (not necessarily the same source but possibly related) heard here 
this morning. The warble has been heard for some time but I'm not aware 
of the Arabic being reported on


I did find a message on HCDX (7 Dec 08) from Albert Muick in Kabul 
noting what seemed to be the Koran being chanted on 930. But it seemed 
to be a one-off.


Ken Baird 20 miles SE of me has posted some observations along with the 
text of Albert's message at 
http://www.ayrshirehistory.eu/tadx/transatlantic_logs_september_2009.html


and this is my recording from 0528 UTC today. At this time the greyline 
passes through France, Spain, Morocco and Nigeria, so is well to the 
west of Saudi Arabia.

Re: [IRCA] How much ground for a EWE?

[Paul Crankshaw]

Yes it is adjusted in exactly the same way as the ewe - if anything I 
find the null more consistent than when using earth rods and 
consequently there is less need to adjust it.


One my set up the resistor goes between the the bottom of the down leg 
and the start of the bottom wire - ideally it should be inserted midway 
down the downleg and so should be the balun on the other downleg.

It all depends on your ground conditions I suppose but gentle hammering of 4 ft
copper pipe works here.

Although the ewe reduces signals from the rear well, I would suggest you
consider a flag.

I'm only able to run the flag with the bottom wire lying on the ground, and
fed at the bottom rather than midway down the downward legs - otherwise it would
be an obstruction. It should be raised up clear of the ground - but I still get
a far better null with this compromise than with the ewe.

Of course the more copper you put in the ground the better the null on the ewe
should become.

Re: [IRCA] 1450 UNID

Thanks Barry and everyone else who listened.

My interpretation was "North Eastern Michigan's news and information 
station, this is WATZ AM" !!!


Additionally the station goes to ABC news which WATZ runs.

[IRCA] 1450 UNID

[Paul Crankshaw]

Hi

I believe I have identified this station but would value the opinion of 
DXers closer to the action. The recording is very marginal and benefits 
from repeated listening.


http://www.geocities.com/paulcrankshaw/1450x.wav

This was recorded at 0900 UTC this morning on 1450 kHz when quite a few 
rare stations were coming in from the Great Lakes area.

Interesting.  Here (187 miles from CKDO) they were mostly in the mud.  
In overnight recordings, they didn't return to their usual dominance 
until about 0900 UTC.  A "skip zone" kind of effect, I guess.


All I got from it was a bunch of frustrating unids.  :-(
