[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-17
Since Chris Kadlec can only dream of receiving his old Korean locals in Michigan, I'm happy to post another report with a (brief) Seoul local recording (which probably sounds much worse for wear after crossing 5,000 miles of ocean). Chris not only provided the name of a Korean rap group that I recorded on 603-HLSA a week ago, but the song title as well-- along with a detailed assessment of the entire Korean rap music genre. Awesome! For the first time in several days a predawn band check at 1245 revealed some healthy Asian signals, so a single 15" FSL, its 4' PVC base and a 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave Ultralight were taken 5 blocks away to a local park to escape the neighbor's RFI. The RFI was duly escaped, but not the curious stares of park visitors (who had no hesitation to ask numerous questions at the worst possible time). >From 1300 UTC on an overachieving 738-BEL2 was in and out of the KCBS >splatter, hitting its peak at an S7 level with male-voiced Chinese news around >1403. When increasing daylight caused Frisco to fade around 1350 HLKG tried to >pick up the slack, resulting in a wild snarl until Taiwan prevailed at the >TOH. The daylight boost brought weak Chinese signals out of the noise on 603 >(mixing with HLSA), 639 and 756, and brought the CRI stations on 1017 and 1044 >up to fair peaks.

Asian results here were very similar to yesterday's session, with the usual Japanese and Korean big guns showing up but with very little else. Dennis' second tier Japanese avoided this area (fairly typical) and the DU's showing up in Victoria never managed a trace here (of course). The usual NHK and Korean regulars on 594. 693, 747, 774, 828, 972, 1053 and 1566 all managed good peaks in and out from 1300-1400, with the 1053-Jammer and 1566-HLAZ the strongest of the bunch around 1340 (very good). 1134-JOQR also joined the Japanese regulars for a brief time from 1330-1345 at a fair level, while weak audio from a presumed 738-Tahiti (looping southwest) showed up around the 1400 TOH. The only somewhat unusual signal this morning was weak audio on 639 from a presumed CNR1 around 1355, which seemed rather odd in consideration of the general lack of Chinese signals. Overall the session was pretty lackluster, but low expectations are probably the key to contentment at this mediocre location. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15" FSL 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

Despite the lackluster reports from Victoria this morning's session did have an unusual offering-- the best signal from the 1035-CNR1 synchros ever received here (fair) around 1345. That was a pretty bizarre reception, though, seeming to go against the trend of a mediocre morning for everything else. Two band checks at 1300 and 1330 confirmed the dreary situation that Colin and Nick had described, with all the Asian signals subdued. The usual NHK big guns and 1566-HLAZ seemed to be struggling, and nothing else was in audio. Figuring that the session would turn out to be a clunker I debated whether to set up the FSL antenna as usual in the back yard, but after hearing an unusually strong carrier on 1035 (with the distinctive, warbling sound of the poorly synchronized CNR1 stations) I decided to do so. Around 1345 these 1035-CNR1 synchros managed a fair peak with Chinese male speech-- their best level ever here in Puyallup. Despite this almost no other Asians sounded healthy at the time, with the NHK big guns and 1566-HLAZ still struggling, and only the 1053-Jammer matching 1035 with fair audio. Around 1400 the Japanese on 594, 693, 747 and 828 finally got untracked, but of these only 594 reached a good level (around 1405). 972-HLCA also came up to a brief good level at 1359, and a weak mix of HLSA and China appeared on 603. Late on in the session both 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 came out of the noise to reach fair peaks before collapsing with the other Asians around 1415. Overall it was a bizarre session, without much of interest except the unusual signal from 1035-CNR1 at 1345. 972 HLCA Dangin, S.

Hello All, As Colin and Dennis have reported Asian signals took a step backwards this morning, with only a few big gun TP's showing up. The Japanese and Korean diehards that did show up were far from convincing, and there weren't very many of them. At my 1300 start time the band sounded dreary indeed, with only 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB able to manage anemic audio for a few seconds at a time. 747-JOIB joined these diehards with poor audio in and out of the Portland splatter (and mystery noise) around 1315, while 603-HLSA and 972-HLCA hit threshold levels around 1325. 603-HLSA's deep-voiced male blended in nicely with the noise, and HLSA went under around 1400-- to be replaced by ghostly 603-China audio in and out. None of the above ever managed anything better than fair audio during the entire morning, with 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB the best of a very anemic bunch during the lackluster session. Best Asian signal of a dreary morning was from 693-JOAB at 1408, with apparent NHK2 Korean lessons at a fair level. Hopefully TP propagation will rebound quickly for the Grayland DXpedition this weekend. 693 JOAB Tokyo, Japan Apparent Korean lessons at a fair level over Vancouver splatter at 1408; best Asian signal of a mediocre morning http://www.mediafire.com/listen/4goplmprna2lqrp/693-JOAB-1408z101714PL380.MP3 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5 loopstick Tecsun PL-380 Ultralight + 15 FSL 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

Hello All, Asiatic TP results here this morning were much closer to Walt's dreary version than the decent signals reported by Dennis, but with some bizarre twists that didn't seem to happen elsewhere. Remaining traces of the latest solar tantrum wiped out all the low-band TP signals except for a ghostly 594-JOAK (and the season's new regular, 738-Tahiti). While the low band was very poor the high band wasn't bad at all, with 1575-VOA having some of its best signals of the season (although highly erratic). The high band big guns on 1134, 1287 and 1566 also had no problem being heard, even when the normally strong Koreans on 972 and 1053 were completely comatose. It was almost like the band had a high pass filter for Asiatic TP's with frequencies above 1100. 1575-VOA's signal was unusual in having some decent audio throughout most of sunrise enhancement, instead of its usual pattern of dropping in and out of the noise. In general the session was another strange example of twisted propaga! tion, which seems to be pretty common at this point in the season. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Threshold audio (Japanese male speech) late at 1402 738 Radio Polynesie Mahina, Tahiti Fair French YL speech in and out around 1352 1134 KBS Hwaseong, S.

Hello All, It seems like a West Coast location paid off this morning, considering the TP-DXing reports from Richard, Nigel and Bill. Asian signals were quite healthy here this morning, with the general conditions fairly close to what Bruce reported (considering the typical propagation twists between us). The mysterious 639-CNR1 co-channel was back this morning, playing long-set instrumental music broken up by a monotone-voice speaker in apparent Korean (not // 594). The speaker's voice is distinctive because of an unpleasant nasal tone, and stands out from CNR1's pleasant-voiced YL very clearly. My guess is that this is the 50 kw KBS3 station from Korea, but there is no parallel to check for confirmation. Besides this the regular low-band Asians were vibrant, with 558-HLQH (// 603) having its best morning so far this season. 729 had a decent carrier again around 1345, but there was too much CHMJ to determine the identity (Jiangxi, China or JOCK). 936-Anhui had a very good signal with music around 1411, and there were interesting UnID's on 1017 (again) and 1107. Considering the mediocre results of the past few days, this morning's session was a major improvement. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5 loopstick), inductively coupled to 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the frozen back yard).

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-17
Thanks Nick, That's very useful information. 1134-KBS is one of the strongest Koreans here, and usually dominates the busy frequency. I'll check it the next time that the 639 mystery station shows up, for a possible parallel (and be interested in any more information that Mauno has). From what's been heard so far on 639 kHz, though, it certainly doesn't sound very much like the upbeat, male-female-announcer KBS programs that are usually on 1134. The 639 mystery station's programs concentrate on soothing instrumental music, and the announcer himself (herself?) sounds somewhat speech-impaired. His/her voice is very distinctive, and I've yet to hear it on 1134-KBS. 73, Gary programs programs concentrate on soothing instrumental music, and the announcer himself (herself?) sounds somewhat speech-impaired.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-17
Gary: As I said before, your location is more advantageous for reception of signals from Asia than mine. The most oblivious advantage you have over me is distance. Of the few DXers currently posting their TP reception, I am the furthest inland. And, all of that extra distance is overland. Another advantage is the length of time the path is in darkness before local sunrise. In that regard, the dark path is approximately 1.5 hours shorter here. If it wasn't for their considerable power output, I doubt if I'd be able to hear any Asiatic signals. However, I still find it easier than hearing ones from across the Atlantic. But that's another chapter. I'm hoping reception tomorrow morning being better than today.

Thanks Chuck and Bruce, I'll be eager to try 1134 kHz for a parallel, the next time that this mystery station shows up on 639. The station usually is under CNR1, but occasionally it is dominant, and rarely even alone on the frequency.
