Re: [IRCA] 1710 Radio Selva (Argentina) into Michigan right now
Congratulations on another amazing catch, Tim! I can see the carrier here in Iowa, but I'm not getting any audio.

Re: [IRCA] HLCA Hanminjok on 972 kHz
I saw carriers on 774 and 747, but not much else. It seems like I could hear just about everything out of Korea (2850 was +10 for a while) but not much of anything else.

[IRCA] HLCA Hanminjok on 972 kHz
Hello everyone. I scored my first MW catch out of Korea this morning when HLCA 972 popped up out of the splatter at 1305 UTC. They weren't strong for very long, but they were nice enough to give me a little intelligible audio before disappearing. I will consider this an early Christmas present. -Tim The cornfields of Iowa Perseus receiver, SAL-30 antenna. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] This morning's TP loggings from Central Iowa
Hello everyone, We had another great morning for Trans-Pacific DX here in the Midwest. i started listening around 1120 UTC, and found strong signals from Japan on 774, 693, 666, and 747. 828 out of Osaka might have been the loudest of all, but I couldn't separate them from WCCO in Minneapolis. I spent a lot of today reviewing the recordings from this morning, and managed to hear some very faint chimes at the top of the hour on 1134 kHz. the audio is rough at best, but you can hear them just before the top of the hour, and then again in a different key a little later. I think it might be KBS, but I could use some advice on this one. https://youtu.be/6itzpsB8ENg CNR 11 (probably) on 1098 also made another appearance with that ridiculous signal I've seen all this week. Considering the solar forecast this weekend is calling for storms, I guess we better enjoy it while it lasts. Here's a clip of them pushing the signal meter up to an S8 on the Perseus. https://youtu.be/VJ27HGaTWdY I saw a carrier on 702, and hoped that it might be Australia, but nothing ever came of it.

Hi Steve, That list is from Dan Ferguson's swskeds mailing list. He does a great job of compiling AOKI, HFCC, and a few others into a spreadsheet and a Perseus compatible userlist. BTW, I am using your plans to make an H frame for my Wellbrook AL 100LN.

[IRCA] This morning's TP-DX from Central Iowa
Hello everyone, First off, thank you to everyone for their kind words about yesterday's recordings, as well as your encouragement. I really appreciate all of it. This morning's conditions were still very good, but not up to yesterday's. There were multiple Japanese stations audible, including 693, 774, and 837, but their signals were down substantially. I was just about to get on with the rest of my day when 1098 went from a carrier to an S8 around 1215 UTC, right around local sunrise. Here's a recording of this morning's reception. https://youtu.be/SKmj3uJwxaM After navigating through the China Radio website, I was able to match up this morning's recordings with their Tibetan service. The frequency offset (or lack thereof) on the signal also matches up with what myradiobase.de has listed for the CNR 11 transmitter out of Golmud, so I think its been confirmed. According to Google maps, it's 6992 miles from transmitter to receive antenna. How crazy is that?? Thanks to Tim Tromp for his offset suggestion, and to Chris Kadlec for his help with navigating the China Radio website. -Tim Luther, IA ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] TP DX from Central Iowa
Hello everyone, I picked a good morning to drag myself out of bed before dawn. The band was full of carriers, some of which turned into remarkably strong signals. All loggings were made between 1030 UTC and 1230 UTC from Luther, Iowa using a SAL-30 antenna and a Perseus receiver. Here's a rundown of the highlights: NHK 2, 774 kHz. I have never heard Japan on MW before now, and I may never hear it this well again. They were giving an English lesson with a Halloween theme that peaked at just under S9. || to 693. i have 747 kHz down in my notes, but I am not sure if it was parallel or not. 774 kHz: https://youtu.be/QOfVVdXwypU 693 kHz: https://youtu.be/Er7qoMjylws 774 kHz (made about an hour after the first clip): https://youtu.be/flTMaUhyTms CNR 11 (?), 1098 kHz: I have caught a trace of this one before, but I've never heard it this well. I think it is China, but I am not positive on this one as I couldn't find an audible parallel station, or an accessible online feed. If anyone can provide any insight into this one I'd appreciate it. https://youtu.be/w7jO9duu7Zs -Tim Luther, IA ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
