[IRCA] TP 17 Aug Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Still splashy, with a mix of Asia and DU.


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

no





Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):



612 4QR woman talking, DU English, 1242UT, no parallels just then





not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker: 

576 2RN woman talking DU English 1240UT; at 1242UT, weaker but //585

594 JOAK man talking Japanese  1227UT

828 JOBB English lessons 1246UT

1566 choral singing 1235UT, likely HLAZ



Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by 
cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)  

585 7RN  man talking DU English? 1206UT; //576 1242UT

603 rhythmic island music 1149UT, likely Waatea?

702 woman and man talking DU English? 1216UT

738 man talking (sports announcer?), DU English intonation1138UT

747 JOIB sounded like English lessons //774 1224UT

774 JOUB man in Japanese  1152UT;  at 1224UT, //747

972 man talking rapidly, another more slowly,  Korean intonation? 1202UT

1017 woman talking, island dialect? 1153UT




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)

 693 1287  seemed to be Asian; 
 594 621 675 756 765 891 909 1098  1548 seemed to be DU

As Colin mentioned, DU on top of DU


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


612 4QR man in DU English 1255UT //594 and others at various times




Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


594 3WV man DU English 1245UT //702 , 612 774 etc
603 R. Waatea man in Maori presumably, then others reading short 
items, 1304UT.   News?
756 RNZ National man in DU English, then woman 1246UT, ID'd various 
times, //567, 675








not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


567 RNZ National man in DU English 1241UT, various times //675 756
675 RNZ National 6 short pips, last slightly elongated, time check 
then woman with news 1300UT




Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be 
guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music)


558 island vocal music 1246UT, likely Fiji
531 pop vocal 1148UT, man mumbling, DU  English inflection 1152UT
558 island vocals 1153UT

774 3LO  various times //612 or 594 or?
792 4RN suspected woman talking DU English inflection poking through

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


none  seemed to be Asian;
 657 738 909 1098 1296 1503 1566 1611 1629 seemed to be DU

>>> 

As you both have noticed, 603-Waatea did seem to have a significantly improved 
signal last week during the "Kiwi Cliff" DXpedition. It managed its best signal 
ever at 1303 on 8-8 https://app.box.com/s/wruaavle3k3s4x9my9armbxl4od0369s and 
also sounded pretty overwhelming on the first day (8-1) at 1256 
https://app.box.com/s/s594rz5pctqf9hahfhpk7p1du2ajuzp0 I haven't heard anything 
from Theo, but maybe it had some antenna or transmitter work done (without a 
100% Japanese contribution, like 558-Fiji)? 

Its Maori net parallel 765-Kahungunu was somewhat of an underperformer during 
the trip, though. In previous years it sounded very much like a Kiwi big gun, 
but on most days last week it sounded just like a 2.5 kW station.

Thanks Bill and Gary.These guys are DX at the coast, so to hear 
them at home is definitely something to wake one up in the 
morning. Unfortunately that wasn't a morning for live DXing, and 
not sure that even if I'd been at the dials  I would have been 
fast-thinking enough to zero in on the appropriate webstreams before 
they faded away again.  Next time, if there is one, hi.

Nick

Rhema Media's own official frequency list for the Rhema, Star and 
Life FM networks (posted at 
https://app.box.com/s/4i9li3a2bjv7sa9evauyh13y461wh8s4 )
shows that 684-Gisborne has been stricken from the Rhema network 
list, and replaced by 684-Eastland. This must have been the 
transmitter that you, Bill, Tom and I heard during DXpeditions this 
summer. It also shows that 594-Timaru and 594-Wanganui have joined 
the Star network, as Theo had mentioned earlier.

Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it

738 Tahiti assumed 1307UT, African pop?  Certainly not island music 
unless that has changed somewhat.

ABC fanfare and ABC news by woman were quite identifiable

Sorry for the delay, stayed up far too late listening to this (that's 
a hint that it was good), so needed to send the actual report the 
following morning.


So much for Asian/DU times being predictableyes Asians were there 
the morning of the 17th, fighting with New Zealand, right from 
1120UT.  I'd say NZ was winning, at least on the power vs. distance 
ratios, and just plain stamina.   What a strange mix, and finishing 
up with Aussies.   I'm sure there were lots of unlogged 
stations...just too much to keep track of.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker,

not today, but, ahem, suspected 531 PI came close, very close



Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it

Wow, that's a very impressive list of Kiwi DX for Victoria, Nick.
 
   531 PI likely, man in island language, followed by choral island mx 
1232UT.  Had a cliffside volume to it. 
http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/531PI_20140817_1232.wav 
Forgive the het; I was running wide synchronous detection, somewhere 
in there are the 530 TIS's   
 
Yes, I recognize the 531-PI Samoan male announcer's voice from last month's 
DXpedition at Rockwork 4 (the station was the strongest overall DU during the 7 
days at the Cliff).  

  702 Radio Live 1233UT woman talking thank you very much Grant 
followed by Radio Live Sean Plunket by man (assisted by the online

702-Radio Live was also on a romp at the Oregon coast last month-- not only for 
me, but for Chuck and Bill W. as well. It was a pretty rare catch before this 
summer-- maybe an antenna improvement, or pattern change? 

   594 unID, piano mx 1126UT, given the weird mix, it might not have been 
Japan...   

In consideration of your vibrant reception of 531-PI and the other Kiwis, Nick, 
you probably had the NZ Rhema network (5 kW and 2kW) in Timaru and Wanganui. 
That Christian contemporary music network completely shut off the signals from 
Aussie big gun 3WV last month at the Cliff.

Sorry for the delay, stayed up far too late listening to this (that's 
a hint that it was good), so needed to send the actual report the 
following morning.

So much for Asian/DU times being predictableyes Asians were there 
the morning of the 17th, fighting with New Zealand, right from 
1120UT.  I'd say NZ was winning, at least on the power vs. distance 
ratios, and just plain stamina.   What a strange mix, and finishing 
up with Aussies.   I'm sure there were lots of unlogged 
stations...just too much to keep track of.



pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):

not today, but, ahem, suspected 531 PI came close, very close

Wonderful recordings Gary.   I did hear the pips and the woman 
mentioning the city council on 567, but way weaker and with more 
splatter (I won't embarrass myself by providing a recording, 
hi).   756 was better here this morning with some quite readable 
moments, so I figured you'd be cleaning up if I was hearing NZ here.

Nick

Tons of signals, indeed :-) This morning was so wild with DU snarls 
that I couldn't even type up a report until after listening to the 
MP3's to try to sort out the snarls (531, 558, 567 and 738). 
666-Noumea was matched the 738 // , and 1017-Tonga made a 
halfhearted appearance. 558-Fiji may have been one of the DU's 
mixing on 558, but it seems like the Kiwi 5 kW station was a bad 
sport and ran them off.

Hi Nick,

It was an Asian invasion this morning at the Cape Perpetua ocean cliff-- 
something which seemed very bizarre after spending a week at the Kiwi-dominated 
Rockwork 4 cliff last month. It wasn't until about 1315 that the DU's managed 
to evict the Japanese big guns off of their frequencies (594, 693, 747, 774 and 
828).
