Who'da' thought. High solar activity, high A&K indices. Last several days nothing for 9kc MW or LWBC. But this morning after about 1220 utc the band lit up, relatively speaking of course. High band first, hets everywhere from 1500-1700 kHz, X band DU freqs. 1575 with big het, produced a little very poor audio, talk, 1223 utc. 1725 PNG beacon GA at weak level, no audio filter needed, 1225. After about 1230 conditions shifted down lower, lots of hets 531-1200 kHz now. 738 very big het eventually produced very poor audio, R&R/blues music 1234 utc. 891 DU 5AN with talk, mention of electric cars, poor, 1240 utc. Most everything gone after about 1250 utc. No LWBC.

A new month. LWBC better this morning. Added 171 for Radio Rossii, six freqs today (189 at S9 level); and 209 Mongolia with poor audio briefly at 1202 utc. 164 still just a good het, no audio yet this season. At the end, MW TP all Down Under but some high-band, very unusual for me mostly due to heavy domestic splatter. 1548 With DU talk rising to weak for a few seconds at 1328 utc. 738,792,891,1116 all DU, 891 the best but all fading away early today, about 1335 utc. ___ 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

All MW DU this morning, but not so good levels today. Always wonder if I've checked too late, but LF beacons take first priority (which weren't so good this morning either). LWBC much better today, even 209 Mongolia with poor audio, lasting quite a while, 1212-1305 utc. (164 a good het never reaching audio the times I checked.) Radio Rossii good, 6 freqs with 171 today, some reaching S9 at times. 153 and 189 still barely there at 1338 utc.

Didn't listen yesterday but this morning was poor. 891 Down Under was all that was heard here, 1413 utc. LWBC 153 and 279 poor at 1401. Earlier 180 had very poor audio just before 1300 but didn't seem to be Rossii as Rossii's 180 signs off at TOH and always has the time pips--this station didn't. Not sure who it would be unless Mayak in Siberia. This has been heard like this once or twice before, with no TOH pips before signoff at 1300.

Quite a lot of good TP activity this morning, even inland here. 164 and 209 Mongolia had several good fadeups for several minutes at a time, beginning at 1157 utc with 164, along with interval signal/theme song at 1200 utc, poor/weak level; 209 not present then, but had faded up at 1206 utc, same poor/weak level. At the same time the Radio Rossii network had 6 freqs audible--153, 171, 180, 189, 234, 279 with 189 doing the best at medium level. The Bethel/Oscarville TWEB on 251 also doing well.

Much better Pacific conditions this morning, with strong hets on many channels, and audio on 8 MW freqs. Far East Russian LWBC was exceptional, with 153 and 189 giving true armchair-level reception (9/10 rating) for about 40 minutes. I was still listening at 1500 utc when the time pips were given and all the stations abruptly left the air without anything else transmitted. (PAL says 1600 signoff, but perhaps they're using daylight savings time now.) It's been a long time since I had them in so strong, and lasting so long.

Only odd thing here was 1575kHz, around 1235-1240UT, Steve. Probably was VoA with a couple of men talking, but just not readable enough audio, except to say that it was likely a SE Asian language, though at times I'd almost be able to imagine DU accented English...it was that unreadable.Given that there was no sign of much else, Asian or otherwise, it was a little peculiar.This was about 1575.997kHz; VoA last reported on 1575.995 best wishes, Nick At 13:22 26-04-12, you wrote: Who'da' thought.

Hey, For once I got lucky and slept in until after 1400 on a morning when the conditions were awful. Usually, its the reverse, naturally! Life is GOOD! John B.

Good Day, A very poor morning here for DXing. Thunderstorms from 0900-1300 ut. The best carrier was 603, around a level 4. Nothing on 774-1566-1575. Listened from 1215-1230 ut.

Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Thursday (very poor)
It sounds like you had a milder version of our thunderstorm, which lasted from about1800 LT last night until 1100 LT today. Some of the static bursts were strong enough to wipe out KOMO on the car radio. Thunderstorms aren't very common around here and rarely interfere with local stations, so this one was quite impressive.

I didn't hear any audio on the 7030+ between 12:05 and 12:10. Hear audio via the Perseus all at only 6 level on the following frequencies: 612 (11:55) 639 (11:46) 738 (11:54) 756 (12:05) I noted 1098 to be very strong, though. OC of course. 531 was a strong 4 or weak 5. Other good 5s were: 783, 936 and 963. ..Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC. ___ 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
