There's a nice TP opening right now (0835 UT). So far I've had good audio on 747 774 and 972, fair audio on 576 594 1134 and 1206, plus carriers on 567 585 621 639 738 945 981 1278 1287 1566, and probably more channels. Some of the carriers are starting to break into audio, too. It'll be int

Re: [IRCA] the average Ap index

There are two principles I've tried to apply to predicting geomagnetic conditions over the year. The first is to realize that some events are nearly spontaneous and may not be predictable beyond 24 hours out. This is either due to the cause being non-periodic or the cause simply being more obscu

Listened from 1410-1435 ut and conditions was better than yesterday. The only audio was on 594, 657, 693 and 774 all audio was very poor and just above the noise level. The carriers were: 531, 558, 567, 585, 594, 603, 639, 648, 657, 666, 693, 738, 756, 774, 828, 936 and 945. By the time I go

Re: [IRCA] KCIS 630 Edmonds -Seattle

Bill I checked 630 after seeing your original e-mail last night. At about 9:30 PST, KCIS was its usual strong self. It sounded about normal strength here whenever I checked after that. So it may have either been weird conditions or elese they had problems earlier in the evening. Bruce in

Re: [IRCA] the average Ap index

Wow, Nick. If there's one graph that shows the present state of the sun, then it has to be this one. Now the big question is how long it will last! For the SWL, it's been way too long, and for us MW DXers, let it continue! .Walt On Fri, Jan 8, 2010 at 2:43 AM, Bill Whitacre wrote: > >

I continued to check the band until I went to bed just after 0900, and then had the SDR-IQ recording the 600's and 700's for a few hours. Conditions at 0900 would have made for a decent sunrise enhancement, especially this time of year, with audio popping up in all sorts of places. My recordi

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 9 Jan 2010

Quite a bit of action today, perhaps due to better conditions, or maybe simply due to listening from a bit further north. Things certainly hang in considerably longer here than down south in Dunmore, with plenty of signals after 1600. 531 Japan 558 Korea, doing surprisingly well 567 Japan 6

Re: [IRCA] KCIS 630 Edmonds -Seattle

Bruce, That is odd. I tried after Midnight and had CHED alone on the channel for a time. I wonder if it was cx or did KCIS go off? I never hear CHED These days dominant. If I hear it, it is buried u/KCIS. So maybe the soft rel mx I heard was a weak KCIS? KCIS normally is on top off the NE/NW EWEs.

Hello Todd, Congratulations on your exciting TP receptions with the Tecsun PL-310 in Minnesota this morning. Receiving the Japanese on 594, 747 and 774 must have been a great thrill for you, as well as the tentative receptions of 1566-HLAZ, and 1575-VOA Thailand. Because of their effectiv

Re: [IRCA] 828 mystery

Nick, I had a quick look at some of my Perseus SDR files from Masset over the New Year, and it was Bulgaria, I thought. The carrier didn't appear terribly warbly to me, however, and I didn't see anything else untoward on the waterfall displayWalt On Sat, Jan 9, 2010 at 11:59 AM, Nick Hall
