[IRCA] Michigan DU's & KFMB San Diego, Aug 29
Local sunrise: 1107 UTC Receiver: Perseus SDR Antenna: southwest phased BOGs 603 unid with solid strong carrier at 1100 UTC and just a few dB shy of producing audio but good enough to hold the sync AM lock on the Perseus. 693 unid with another solid carrier at 1100 UTC, again just not enough to punch any audio through but one to watch in the future. 701.999 unid with threshold music, no pips, no ABC fanfare heard at TOH, so maybe something other than Sydney? Song ends at 1101 UTC and then male announcer. Lost to 700 splash soon after. 701.996 shows a strong carrier later, at 1122 UTC, whom I think belongs to 2BL Sydney. 756 unid with solid carrier for several minutes at 1053 UTC and threshold audio but far too weak to make anything out. Blown out of the ocean at 1100 UTC when WNDZ signs on the air. 1017 had a "near audio" carrier at 1057 UTC. 1098 probably Marshalls with very faint music during a rare moment of minimum 1090 splash. This was at 1052 UTC. Music, though not identifiable to my ears, was probably good enough to make a parallel confirmation if I had been DXing live at the time. Best audio so far from 1098 and encouraging. Weaker DU carriers also noted on many of the lower 9 kHz channels this morning. Domestic notes: 760 KFMB San Diego continues to be heard here every morning at sunrise under WJR. This could be a good time to log them from the Midwest if you need them. 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan ___ 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

Good stuff Tim. I should soon be set up again to check DU's as well. Re: 603 never more than a weak carrier here. Re: 693 carrier here but never that strong and honestly too close to IBOC noise from WSCR. Re: 702. I've had a station mix with 2BL a couple of times before including once last Oct when the carriers were even and audios mixed. I assumed NZ but have never IDed it. Re:756 have had carrier, but too close to WBBM IBOC noise to pull out marginal audio. Re:1098 I expect you'll get even better audio soon.

693 is an interesting one, if it's DU, as all the others seem to be. Brisbane is directional, and I don't see any record of it being heard on the coast (Chuck? Gary?)

Re: [IRCA] Michigan DU's & KFMB San Diego, Aug 29
Gary, Thanks for the suggestions and audio links, much appreciated. My 702 had very faint music through TOH and then a male announcer after the song ends at 1101 UTC. Nothing resembling "Magic-- feels good" could be heard in my very limited and weak clip. There is however a unique sound effect transitioning between the song's ending and where the announcer comes in. Maybe a clue. I'll need to study Magic's live audio stream during this hour to see if it can be heard. All of this excitement was captured on an unattended SDR recording, so no live parallels could be made using streaming audio or remote receivers. Magic has a song playlist on their site, but it doesn't look like it goes back far enough. I should have immediately checked yesterday. I know better now. 73, -Tim On Tue, Aug 29, 2017 at 11:59 PM, wrote: > Tim, > > Based on the recent ocean coast DXpeditions I've included a few > suggestions on your UnID-DU frequencies.

Re: [IRCA] Michigan DU's & KFMB San Diego, Aug 29
Thanks, Kaz This morning had 1034.998 with threshold audio near 1100 UTC TOH but tough going through WNVR's splatter. Faint music again heard on 1098 near TOH. Lots of lower band DU carriers again this morning but weaker than the previous morning. Hopefully you can set up soon to catch some of this fun. My DKAZ is down at the moment, so nothing to report here on upper band DU's (where the DKAZ does better). I'll probably have it set up again this weekend. 73, -Tim On Wed, Aug 30, 2017 at 1:39 PM, Neil Kazaross wrote: > Good stuff Tim. I should soon be set up again to check DU's as well.

Interesting on 1035, Tim. WNVR is murderous here but tomorrow they shouldn't have day power on til 1130 (I hope). Carriers on 1035 here in the past but nothing close to audio.

I couldn't find a reference to SIBC's exact frequency and I'm leaning towards 1034.998 being NZ, but I'll defer to the west coast experts. 73, -Tim On Thu, Aug 31, 2017 at 11:21 AM, Neil Kazaross wrote: > Interesting on 1035, Tim.
