[IRCA] TP 11 Mar Victoria version

Back to the doldrums for sure, but I also started recording earlier, and 1230-1245UT was pretty vigorous, then a drop off in signal strength, followed by a further drop off after 1330UT, with a brief revival of the old predictables just after 1400UT pretty darn good audio (all of it understan

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 11 March 2015

Compared with any recent day except yesterday, not actually that bad a day. Much less audio than yesterday, but for some reason I heard a couple I didn't yesterday. Certainly no repeat of the X-band surprise from yesterday. 531 JOQG, Japan Man and woman conversing in Japanese at

The TPs slipped back into a comfortable mediocrity today. There were just a few of the regulars, most of them struggling to be heard. GOOD 774JOUB, Korean lesson 1405 FAIR 693JOAB, English lesson 1308, briefly fair, otherwise poor-nil 972HLCA, Korean talk 1314 981CNR1, Chinese

Thanks for the tip - but I am too close to WYLL's night xmtr site and can't null them - they are ENE of here. All I can get from WPIE are bits of audio way under WYLL. Tom Jasinski Joliet, IL Original Message Subject: [NRC-AM] WPIE 1160 NY being Heard We

Re: [IRCA] WPIE 1160 NY being Heard Well in Madison WI

Thanks Bill for this tip. At times over WYLL. Just heard 2 ID's one @2059 and 2100. Note that if you or anyone else needs 580 KUBC they've been running day power since last Sunday, at least. Best heard before or during SRS greyline Sincerely, Todd Skaine Woodbury, MN Sony ICF 2010 Superradio 2 Gru

[IRCA] WPIE 1160 NY being Heard Well in Madison WI

WPIE 1160 Trumansburg NY is currently coming in very well at my QTH in Madison WI at 2030 CDT, carrying ESPN coverage of the ACC men's basketball tournament. WPIE facilities are 10kw days and 310w nights. WPIE's signal is as strong as or even above WYLL Chicago here, which is the overwhelming domin

[IRCA] TP conditions for 11 March 2015: vastly better

This morning conditions in Masset caught up with the rest of you. Yesterday was poor all around. I knew I'd be in for a treat when I was hearing multiple stations on the same frequency. I spent most of my time live, on the Tropical bands, as there was a cyclone in progress on the Solomon Islands,

[IRCA] Shortwave & AM Antenns

Hey folks, I have a Sangean ATS 909X which already has great reception, selectivity/sensitivity and nulalbility.. but I wanna see if I can make it a little better. I suspect a long wire might work best for what I need, but I'd also consider loops. I don't really have any building skills or any t

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-11

Hello All,   Well, propagation giveth and then propagation taketh away. What started off as an excellent-sounding band at 1310 took a general swoon around 1340, leaving only a few Japanese big guns and 1566-HLAZ to finish up a disappointing session.   After yesterday's Asian propagation fire

Not really. I only heard weak hets on 972 & 1053. Blame on the Rocy Mountains firewall! Richard. --- Original Message --- >From: Nick Hall-Patch[mailto:n...@ieee.org] Sent: 3/11/2015 9:31:42 AM To : irca@hard-core-dx.com Cc : Subject : RE: Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 3/

Hi Richard, Do I gather that the March 10th DXFest on the west coast didn't reach as far inland as Oklahoma? best wishes, Nick At 13:07 11-03-15, you wrote: 693 JOAB? - barely audible talk in 690 KGGF splash at 1237. 747 unID (JOIB?) - barely audible talk at 1121. 774 JOUB - barely audible
