Re: [IRCA] 1550 KIVA Albuquerque heard in Michigan, with only 2 minutes to spare!

The daytime signals between the two are nearly the same.. both at 10KW... 1600's tower is just slightly further south, where it looks like it's a bit more populated. Where they will gain is the 27W on 1550 vs 175W on 1600 at night.. that night power will serve more people. On Fri, Aug 31, 2012

[IRCA] 1550 KIVA Albuquerque heard in Michigan, with only 2 minutes to spare!

Finally, after chasing this for three hours tonight, a solid ID from KIVA at 0558 UTC with literally two minutes to spare before their switch to 1600 KHz at 0600 UTC. At 0558 UTC an announcer gave what sounded like an unscripted and possibly live announcement: "Alright everybody this is 1550 KIVA,

[IRCA] TP August 30, 2012 / Victoria version

Signals weren't as good as yesterday except for HLAZ which did very well at times, especially around 1230UT, so maybe Colin should listen a little earlier at Point no Point.Walt's location closer to the water might well be getting him better DU reception, as I didn't hear 891 until after 13

Re: [IRCA] TP August 29 and 30 2012 / Jordan River Point no Point vs Victoria proper

Colin, I happened to be up from 12:30 UTC and listened for an hour. Things in Victoria were quite lively using my Perseus SDR and West directed corner fed loop. Very useful was Nick Hall-Patch's DX Fishbarrel which showed that conditions were very similar to my own. DU propagation was superior her

For the third day in row it was the Asians predominating, but today was a bit more normal, if there is such a thing. Audio noted today on 774, 828, 1206, 1287 and 1566. 1287 was nothing like yesterday, with only weak audio. The best audio was from 774 and 828, more as one would expect, w
