[IRCA] Tonight's TAs

2018-10-06 Thread James Renfrew
Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY

I haven't been looking for much TA DX because I am still reviewing Perseus
files from last November in Newfoundland, but I gave the dial a spin
tonight and here is what I am hearing.
No luck with anything on 720 like Tim in Michigan hearing Greenland, but
maybe I'm hearing Iceland on 189?

OCT 7  0405 UTC

171, 183, 189 poor, 198, 234, 252, 270 (may be an image)
774 weak, 909 badly slopped, 1089 talk, 1215 music

Recheck about ten minutes later not much of anything, but house noise is a
real pest tonight.

[IRCA] Tonight's TAs and bragging about Argentina

2014-01-29 Thread James Renfrew
Jim Renfrew, Holley NY

Wow, I can't believe this is the first time I've checked for TAs so far
this season (too much time being spent reviewing Perseus files from
Newfoundland!!).  But Bill, Mike and Sylvain are right, there are some to
be had tonight:

909 - threshhold audio. presume BBC
936 - strong het. Iran or Spain?  I'm going to guess Iran, because Spain
isn't in on other channels.
945 - weak audio. presume France
972 - weak audio, presume Germany
1089 - TaklSport
1206 - weak audio, presume France
1215 - Absolute
1377 - weak audio, presume France
1511 - het (and this is where I am currently sitting hoping for more; might
be a little low as Sylvain notes, but hard to be sure;  though Crete has
been heard once before)
1521 - Saudi Arabia

Meanwhile, on the Perseus side, our November 11, 2013 files are chock full
of Argentina right now.  Jean and Chuck have ferreted out Radio Nacional on
690, 730, 750, 790, 910, 960, 1130, and 1190, in some cases by paralleling
unique sfx to the known dominant on 730.  A few of these are our second
Argentines on these channels.  My most recent addition to the team log is
Radio Argentina on 570.  As Chuck notes, we're on our way to getting them
all!  Sorry that it will takes a long time to write the full report.  We've
got seven days of recordings, but we're still working on Day 1.  And we
still have to complete 2010 and 2011.

Re: [IRCA] Tonight's TAs and bragging about Argentina

2014-01-29 Thread Chuck Hutton
The power of a great antenna (a long Beverage) and a great location (tip of 
Newfoundland) has given us about 30 Argentine stations so far.
 
In this age of crowded channels, 30 Argentines seems almost impossible which 
makes listening to those ID's a real thrill.

Not much other than the big guns at 1700 EST.

Recheck at 2300 EST - best signal is 549 Algeria, plus some audio from many 
of the regulars.  LW is a wash-out, too much noise in the house.

I slept through the late afternoon/early evening - good thing, because the 
doc tightened the screws on my haol this morning - ouch!  Here's what's in 
2200-2300 EST


2205 EST1116SpainCadena SER // web audio, relog
2210 EST855SpainRNE1
2215 EST747NetherlandsRadio 5
2220 EST558Spain RNE5
 EST585Spain RNE1, possible parallel on 639

909 and 1089 are also in, though weak.  Many hets elsewhere.

Odd that 1116 SER only makes an apearance with signals overall weaker than 
last week. It was nowhere to be seen last week.

Not much happening tonight, but a few interesting off-channel unids were 
noted:


1550 EST1089Today's early appearance winner is 1089 UK with audible 
talk, very good signal.
1554 EST.1034.89An interesting het here, before the IBOC blob 
descends on the 1000-1100 segement of the band for the night.

1621 EST621Good RNE signal at this time
1625 EST909BBC
1627 EST702.12Noticeable het here, presumed Monaco/CRI noted at 1653 
on 702.00.  Wonder who the off-channel station is?
1702 EST927Music, faded before I could ID it.  Has been Belgium on 
other nights this season.


Then dinner and a movie,  Maybe I'll check again before bed time.

For some reason I cannot receive mwc e-mail at this address, but I think I 
can send mail to the mwc list from here!

Yes, there are a few at 0415UT, but rather predictable.  Best has been 1134 
with audio that threatens to be readable from time to time.  The others, 1215, 
1377 and 1422 so far, have been just burbles in the murk.   Hmm, 873 also, and 
that would be new if I could dig up anything.

Hey Nick:

I had audio on 1269 from Germany for a bit, plus the usuals on 1134 and
1215, etc.  1062 and 1179 are interesting hets that haven't been around
lately, plus there are several others potential hets that are threatening
to become something serious.

possible AFN 873, and trying to dig Belgium out of 621.  576 has a strong

Addendum:  at 2105 strong signal on 1377 and 837, slight delay but a good

gone, no other parallels found.
