Re: [IRCA] KLZS-1450 off frequency

I took a look at the KLZS transmitter site a couple of years ago when I had a girlfriend in Eugene. It's diplexed with KKNX-840 but too far away from me (on the California Central coast) to hear. The KPNW-1120 transmitter site in Eugene is quite impressive; four one half wavelength (439.1

[IRCA] Caracol on 1590 ?

Hello To All, Heard a Spanish speaking station early this morning with Caracol mentions occasionally on 1590 khz. Music played was lite type instrumentals. Signal was mixing and sometimes over WARV in Rhode Island . Not sure if it was a Colombian station but can't find which of the choices on

[IRCA] Alberta DU for 27 July 2013

This morning looked like a dud when I first tuned in at 1100, with even Tahiti's carrier very weak. Indeed, Tahiti never did reach audio today, and most of the other carriers were weaker than the past while. Was pleasantly surprised when I reached the X-band though, to find weak audio on

Re: [IRCA] Updated frequency offset for 1017 Tonga?

Hi Bruce, I've been using KSL 1160 as a calibration target for Jaguar for some time, based on the recommendation of one of the Finnish DXers. I forget who told me this (probably Mauno or Ilpo), but they said it's preferred over KOMO. After calibration on KSL, the Seattle station KOMO is

Re: [IRCA] Alberta DU for 27 July 2013

Hi Nigel, Wow, it was the exact opposite during this last morning here at Rockwork 4. By far the best morning for Australia the whole week, with 576, 774 and 792 pegging the PL-380 S/N readout. The Kiwis were enhanced too, though, leading to snarling fights on many frequencies. The only

Re: [IRCA] Updated frequency offset for 1017 Tonga?

Guy: Same here - Tonga was 7.3 Hz high in a file I checked. As for NHK on 1017. While possible, I think Jaguar is really making a huge jump to a doubtful result. I'd bet Jaguar has few offsets and I'd be amazed if they had offsets for Radio Sport and 2KY. Jaguar also doesn't know that we

Re: [IRCA] Updated frequency offset for 1017 Tonga?

Hi Chuck, Yes, that's why I said Jaguar noted JOLB's carrier, not that it *was* that station. It always takes the experience of a DXer to interpret the results of something like this, just like we shouldn't list-log a station because it's shown in the PAL (for instance) as being on the frequency.

Re: [IRCA] Alberta DU for 27 July 2013

Hi Gary, Ah, the mysteries of propagation! Double checked my Perseus recordings to make sure I hadn't missed something earlier on, and no - still very poor until the upper end of the band. The only additional (very feeble) audio I discovered was on 1575 and 1683.24 (presumably Radio

The X band was the best it's been this season hear with two stations on 1701khz... I need to be at the DX funnel (rock work 4) DX is like a disco ball in a room with a mirrored celling and the TX is the spot light. You just never know sometimes. Thanks derekvme...@aol.com

Re: [IRCA] Updated frequency offset for 1017 Tonga?

Getting down to details, the MW Offset List as of March 2013 did not list Radio Sport (NZ) on 1017. It does have Tonga but shows it on 1017.001 rather than its current frequency of 1017.008. No listing for China either. Radio Sport is likely to be what we were noting but I haven't listened

Hi,fellas. Listened this morning and noted so so x-band conditions. Nowhere near as good as a few days ago. Otherwise a fair Asian morning with some very interesting unknown cochannels. Help please if you can: 1377: Koran chants under occ. over NHK2 before and after 13:00. 1593. NHK2

Re: [IRCA] Updated frequency offset for 1017 Tonga?

Bruce, Guy, Thanks for confirming my suspicion regarding the Tonga frequency offset. I hope this updated information makes its way into the MW offset list. Poor conditions here this morning as evidenced by a very weak 738 carrier during sunrise enhancement. 1017 was completely absent. 73, -Tim

Hello All, The last day at the Rockwork 4 cliff turned out to be the best DU-DXing day of all, with both Australian and New Zealand stations pegging the PL-380 S/N on certain frequencies. Several Aussies which had been weak or MIA all week suddenly became vibrant, and three of

Re: [IRCA] Updated frequency offset for 1017 Tonga?

I believe this choice of KSL is based on IBOC stations needing to use transmitters exactly on channel to work properly , Guy, and KSL is a widely heard IBOC station in the west. Having said that, I have observed IBOC stations not exactly on channel, but KSL hasn't been one of them. best
