Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Wednesday ..... Victoria somewhat different
Here in Victoria, very weak audio on 1503 and 1593 around 1200UT, no hope of readability. Music on 1503, so wonder if it really was Radio Sport this time?

Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Wednesday; also Victoria, BC
Similar loggings here, Steve, though perhaps there was more signal strength on yours?. We're pretty much sharing the grayline between your location and mine right now. Antenna here is an E-W Flag, so not as much signal gain as your antenna, but I'm closer to the ocean, for what it's worth. My listening is on an SDR recording, and I have little time for review right now, but 1674 didn't seem to have any ID or pips on the hour that I heard. I heard your six pips on 1566, with telephone interview before the hour, and woman giving 10 o'clock time check after the pips; presumably 3NE, but no ID yet on the recording. best wishes, Nick At 12:52 06-06-12, you wrote: MW high band was unusually good for Down Under reception this morning.

UCB News with Mike London 0900- 0920 f/out then religious programming, Fair level 4/5 then clobbered by LION FM faded in over them. (C-DX). 1674, LION FM, Frankston Vic. 0920 Faded in over the top of the Vision BNE station. 4/5 then an announcement which was a good thing I had 3 other Dxers there to hear the announcement, “LION FM does not broadcast on the Jewish Sabbath”!!! So they play pop songs! What an ID! (C-DX). 1674, Surf FM, Frankston Vic. While looking for LION FM! 1045 5/5 ID’s one of them was “Variety 90’s to now Melbourne’s Surf City sound 1674”. Good level played several songs then an ID that was the programming. (CDX). 1683, Greek Radio, Revesby NSW.

I kept tuning the dial to 1674 khz and heard Vision Radio Network, the new station from Brisbane as it turns out, heard by John Hagen and then Tony Magon. Whilst doing a reception report 0900-0920 UT up came pop music on the same frequency to clobber the Vision religious station. I persisted and got an ID as LION FM, then the ID as “LION FM does not broadcast on the Jewish Sabbath”! I thought this lot had gone forever but Surf radio has shared airtime! Now that was also a surprise! Heard at a good level, on occasions. Again we listened to 1674 kHz and got another surprise, 1674 not Lion FM but was Surf Radio!

Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Wednesday (1674 Philippines?)
Steve: There's a brand new Australian on 1674 - Lion Radio in Melbourne. I don't know their programming, but they are said to be Jewish radio which may or may not have RR. From memory, I am not sure if this is a replacement for Vision Radio or not. The Filipino is a real long shot in my mind. I don't think it has been heard at Grayland but again I'm operating from memory. It also has a listed signoff of 1130. Chuck .

No MW reception this morning but didn't check until very late, past 1415 utc. Still lots of hets. But LW unusually good for Rosii today. Was tracking when last one went away. 153 had strong TOH pips at 1500 then apparently went off. Had audio on it, 189 poorer and 279 had faded up for a minute or two again at 1454 then gone again. Maybe they all go off at 1500 as nothing more heard again. 180 signs off at 1300, but it seemed that 171 signed on at 1300 as I eventually had very poor audio briefly and the het was audible, with no het before 1300. So today was much better than usual, 153,171,180,189,234,279 at various times. Both 164 and 209 Mongolia produced very poor audio at 1253 utc.

Another amazing Down Under morning, with a couple of stations with 8 level signals for awhile.

Heavy static today obscured signals. LWBC 153,180,189,234,279 fair at times, good het on 171 and 164 but no audio on frequent checks. DU MW TP at the end of the LF beacon session, many low-band hets.

I haven't been checking much in the morning lately; conditions have been exceptionally poor lately whenever I did check. But this morning I woke up somewhat earlier than usual and did a check. LWBC Radio Rossii doing better, and best of all, 164 Mongolia was at poor level, at 1235 utc. 15 minutes later, 209 Mongolia was very poor/poor.

It seemed like conditions were very good for TPs today despite the very high static even on MW. And I woke up an hour late but 209 Mongolia was still doing well, even with the high static especially at LF. Even when the static from midwest storms died off the band was still noisy everywhere. I can't tell one Asian language from another, so I just list Asian for audio I hear. I don't get enough practice hearing languages to be able to learn to tell one from another.

Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Wednesday
With all this DU activity I need to try for them myself. I had Tahiti here about 5 years ago a couple of times weakly in French and also pulled audio out of 1098 Marshalls a couple times (need to get lucky and find them on a bit late). Last season 702 was at threshold audio levels once..ie could tell it was a muffled male voice but not good enough to tell lang. Anyhow when the T-storms go away I'll see if a 350 ft BOG aimed about 245 deg is quiet enough..ie not much house noise as will be close to it. My long BOGs at 273 deg are likely aimed a bit too far north for NZ/Tahiti noting that they seem better for WA/OR/BC and but don't get KNX from LA as often as the shorter ones (slightly wider beam) aimed the same way did. My place up north in WI is better for DU as it is deathly quiet and I can run longer wires at them. I scored 702 // 738 there a couple seasons ago and had a few other hets. Anyhow..others sb trying for Tahiti as it seems they've improved modulation or tx. 73 KAZ Barrington IL - Original Message - From: Steve Ratzlaff stever...@wildblue.net To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 8:32 AM Subject: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Wednesday This was probably the best TP morning here this year for low band MW signals.

Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Wednesday
Hi Walt, Your DUs have been meager, but mine have been nonexistent! For the last three mornings since revising my rotating Wellbrook ALA100 to 13.5 X 8.5 feet, I've been chasing DUs. I've oriented the loop right at 235 degrees bearing, which splits the difference between Australia and New Zealand from here. Unfortunately I haven't even found any hets after recording with Perseus between 1100-1230 UTC. Maybe I will record between 1800 - 1600 kHz the next few days, to reach any high band stations that might be struggling to rise above the splatter. My recording and DXing has been from 530 kHz to 1330 kHz only, since the antenna revisions. (And as you know, Perseus can't *yet* record the entire MW band.) Signal strengths are quite improved (6 - 10 dB) over the prior smaller version of the loop, and that smaller size has done pretty well at catching TPs when conditions are right. However, the signal path is over more land mass to the SW of me compared to the NW.

DUs have not been much here during the early mornings as I go to bed around 0900-1000 UTC most nights. Even the regulars like Tonga-1017 Tahiti-738 have been poor this Summer. Nothing like 25 years ago. Regularly I would listen to Fiji 891 (gone now) and Tonga-1017 at armchair copy. The BBC News on Tonga was a regular feature for me. Gone are those days for a long time.

I'm not able to compare to other mornings, being my first kick at the cat. I was inspired by how well John Bryant has done on Orcas. Judging from last Fall, I was hearing the DU stations better than he was (he far outperforms me in the Asia department, though!). That said, I thought I should give it a whirl.

Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Wednesday Mongolia
Yes, Steve. I heard 209 Mongolia with fair to good audio here this morni ng. Funny thing is, that it always fades out and is replaced by a TWEB i n Alaska by 14:00. Have to check for ID at 12:00. Going great here, g uys!..Walt. In Victoria it was a slight up-tick over yesterday... -- Colin Newell - Editor/Creator - CoffeeCrew.Com | DXer.CA ___ 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
