[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-7
Hello All, Asian propagation was improved somewhat this morning, with greater variety and strength in both the Japanese and Korean signals. After a promising start the session finally turned into another big gun revue, however, with the usual diehards on 594, 693, 747, 972, 1053, 1287 and 1566 having the only vibrant audio. At my 1235 start time the Asians already showed some potential in the predawn darkness, with 594-JOAK, 972-HLCA, 1287-JOHR and 1566-HLAZ all managing good audio in and out. HLAZ's potent signal fizzled out pretty quickly after 1245, though, and never came back with much strength. 693-JOAB and 747-JOIB added to the Japanese trend with good signals around 1315, and it seemed that the stage was set for a nice sunrise enhancement boost to make the session really interesting. This never happened, though-- with the exception of weak Chinese audio on 738 around 1350 (presumed BEL2), ghostly audio on 1044 (presumed CRI) and a fair signal from 1503-JOUK (// 594) at 1355 nothing unusual showed up. The usual NHK and Korean diehards had the only vibrant audio, and their strength was about the same as in the predawn darkness. The only exception was 693-JOAB after 1400, which had an unusually potent run free of CBU splatter for about 7 minutes until the band folded. This was another one of those rare October mornings when neither 603-HLSA nor 657-Pyongyang managed any audio here. Best signal of the session was from the Korean big gun 972-HLCA with its pop music around 1357, although 747-JOIB would have had the best signal with its NHK2 English lessons around 1323 if not for the oppressive Portland splatter. Overall the session was fairly lackluster, but an improvement over yesterday. 693 JOAB Tokyo, Japan Fair to good level Japanese female-male storytelling late in sunrise enhancement around 1405 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/mfobz1vdkldlzxn/693-JOAB-1405z100714PL380.MP3 747 JOIB Sapporo, Japan Good level English lessons in Portland splatter around 1323 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/2b4825oon42damq/747-JOIB-1323z100714PL380.MP3 972 HLCA Dangjin, S.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-7
Hello All, Thanks to Dennis and Richard for their TP-DXing reports today, which always provide a very interesting comparison. There were plenty of potent signals from the Japanese and Korean big gun TP's this morning, but in contrast to yesterday, the second-tier Japanese seemed to stay down in the noise. In addition the Chinese continued to be very anemic, both on the domestic frequencies (603, 639, 756, 918, 927, 936, 981, 1035, 1377 and 1593) and the CRI stations (963, 1017, 1044 and 1323). Very few of those stations managed any audio at all this morning, but CRI-1017 (Korean service) and 1044 (Japanese service) did have their brief moments of fair audio around 1350. Second-tier TP audio from Korea and Taiwan wasn't exceptional, but both 603-HLSA and 738-BEL2 had brief moments of good signals around the 1400 TOH. In contrast to yesterday, though, 1143-BEL3 stayed down in the noise, never reaching audio at all. By contrast the Japanese big guns on 594, 747, 774 and 828 were very strong at times during the 1310-1410 session, along with the Korean big guns on 972, 1134 and 1566. 972-HLCA had a huge signal during the 1400 TOH, and 1134-KBS was very strong (through domestic splatter) with some type of radio drama at 1350. In summary, the Japanese and Korean big guns seemed every bit as strong as yesterday, although the second-tier Japanese and Koreans seemed to fade back into the woodwork. The Chinese still haven't really joined the recovery program, having been missing in action for the most part during the past five days. 972 HLCA Dangjin, S.

Like Dennis has reported it wasn't a stellar morning for Asians, but there were a few big gun TP's managing audio during sunrise enhancement here. With the exception of a fairly good signal from 1134-JOQR after the 1400 TOH it was the same Japanese and Korean regulars, though. At my 1255 start time the 1566-N.K. Jammer was at a fair level (in and out) without HLAZ, providing a chance to record its 2-second-interval 700 Hz pulsing tone along with a higher frequency tone that pulses along with the lower tone. 1566-HLAZ itself waited until around 1320 to show up here at a weak level, by which time the jammer had already bailed (as usual). Dennis' Asians were down in the noise here until around 1350, when 594-JOAK, 972-HLCA, the 1053-Jammer and 1134-JOQR started coming out of the noise to reach fair peaks in and out. After the 1400 TOH the somewhat unusual 1134-JOQR made a modest run over Vancouver splatter to reach a fairly decent level with fast=paced Japanese. Yesterday's mystery language 738 station didn't appear again this morning, but after close investigation of yesterday's recording the "mystery language" was finally identified-- DU English from 738-2NR in Grafton. Australian signals are extremely rare here, and DU English shows up once in a bl ue moon, leading to the confusion. Last year three weak Australian stations showed up here in October, and it seems like the blue moon has reappeared one year later. This was the first reception of 738-2NR here; last October 594-3WV, 702-2BL and 828-3GI showed up at weak levels. 738 2NR Grafton , Australia (from yesterday) DU English discussion of a wineglass during Teletalk program at 1404; first reception here in Puyallup https://app.box.com/s/tae4n1d4danb1llnfsz1vz3jrnzzssza 1134 JOQR Tokyo, Japan Fast-paced Japanese male-female conversation at 1402 https://app.box.com/s/0aihckg4m4lwnp0ruzc7l8b2d95halue 1566 N.K.

Hello All, Although there was somewhat of a TP propagation decline here also this morning, it didn't seem as drastic as Dennis' description (maybe closer to Nick's). With the exception of the high band big guns on 1134, 1287, 1566 and 1575 kHz it was essentially the same Asiatic stations showing up, although at reduced levels from yesterday. The Chinese stations on 603, 638, 738, 936 and 1044 kHz all managed fair audio at some point, but it didn't stick around for long, and was tough to record. 738-Taiwan was at its strongest just after 1400, and if I had checked 1143 kHz at that time it might have been possible to confirm the parallel (like Nick). Unlike yesterday, 648-VOR even made a fair appearance-- so the morning wasn't a total wash out. Best overall signals were from 972-HLCA (very good) and 657-Pyongyang (good signal, not programming). The 1053-Jammer seemed to be a little anemic compared to usual, maybe because of the high band drop off. For the 5 TP-DXers at ocean beaches! this morning, the Asiatic results were probably much better than at this mediocre inland location-- but likely not up to yesterday's excellent levels. Thanks to Walt for his glowing evaluation of the new Broadband 7" FSL antenna from Oregon's "Rockwork" cliff yesterday-- and I'm very happy that he was able to record excellent TP signals after 1400. I've never tried DXing the Asiatics from "Rockwork," (nor has anybody else, to my knowledge) so you are a true pioneer. As for this morning's Asiatic conditions, if you have limited time to review the .wav files from this trip, yesterday's recordings should be the ones to check first :-) 558 HLQH Daegu, S.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-7
Hello All, Like Dennis, I thought that this morning's TP signals were close to their seasonal high, although the results here were more slanted toward Chinese stations, and the Asian mainland (which is typical for this location). CNR1-639 (synchros) and 738-BEL2 (Taiwan Fisheries) both had their best signals of the season, and 936-Anhui had good audio at times. A big surprise was 657-Pyongyang with a clean, sine-wave carrier (although the programming was still obnoxious). 738-Taiwan's signal was strong this morning, but with undermodulated audio, and a throbbing hum. Longwave TP's were modest, with the stronger Radio Rossii outlets at fair levels and 164-Mongolia producing threshold audio. 164-Mongolia Very weak female-voiced news after 1300, // 4895 kHz 189-R.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-7
Hello All, Asian propagation seemed slightly down this morning compared to yesterday, although the TP "big guns" from Japan, Korea, China and Russia had no problem showing up with decent audio. The weaker Chinese stations were in and out of the noise, while the 639 and 756 CNR1 stations had no weak co-channels like yesterday. 936 kHz continued its October "big gun" performance, and the Korean Jammer was near full strength. Thanks to Bruce's information on 936-Anhui's English programming, I was able to investigate the station's format a little more this morning. During the 1400-1415 time period (late Thursday night in China) the station apparently has a Chinese version of NHK2's Radio English Conversation program, in which a female Chinese speaker gives commentary on an English speech. This morning's lesson (during fair to good 936-Anhui signals) was on the English speech delivered yesterday morning around this same time. During this month of October, 936-Anhui would be a good bet for those DXers needing their first China reception, along with 639-CNR1, 756-CNR1, 981-CNR1, 1044-CRI (in Japanese from 1330-1430) and 1377-CNR1. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5" loopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the back yard). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as an SSB spotting receiver: 558 HLQH Daegu, S.

Finally got to listen to your recordings Gary, and then to my own SDR recording at the same times. Nice location you have there for Asiatics, and the equipment you are using is obviously up to the task of snagging them. 936 has been nothing like that here, just the barest audio traces on 7 October, with pips on the hour. I think the only other Chinese heard here this season has been 1593 once (and Taiwan once on 1161), though I'm not listening as much as I'd like.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-7
Hi Nick, Thanks for your comments, and of course the DU propagation advantage that you and Walt enjoy in Victoria is something which is completely absent here. Probably the best conclusion that one could make is that nobody can enjoy excellent propagation to all areas. Nigel and Steve also regularly receive DU's which are completely absent here, and Bruce in Seattle once had 729-JOCK at a strong level on a morning when I had only 729-China (equally strong). Even Guy (4 miles southest of me) can receive DU's that never produce a trace here. On the other hand, I've had vibrant signals from stations like 738-Taiwan and 936-Anhui that never produce a trace for Guy, at exactly the same listening moments. Guy and I have come to the conclusion that there is some kind of a propagation border between us, which is probably related to extreme differences in soil material (mine is fertile valley soil, while his is rocky hill material). 73, Gary -Original Message- From: Nick Hall-Patch To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Sent: Sat, Oct 8, 2011 10:03 pm Subject: Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-7 Finally got to listen to your recordings Gary, and then to my own SDR recording at the same times.
