Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight DU's for 10-10 (Really)

Good on the 4RN Gary.Yes, that was it all right, your recording is of a female jazz vocalist testing out the pipes a bit. Here, it was tough to find any parallels, but 576, though very faint at that time, seemed to have the same vocalist, so I think you can claim it. You can also claim

[IRCA] 10-10 TP/DU - final report - Victoria B.C. Canada

Chasing Down-unders during auroral conditions, for me, has always been about unimpressively weak signals and little audio due to traditionally low modulation - thankfully most DU's no longer operate under the same standards they did in the 60's and 70's. Additionally, since virtually all DU's

[IRCA] TP DX in Grayland on October 10

Day one at Grayland was quite interesting, wit a mix of Asians and DUs. I'll need lots of time to review the recordings, but here are he early impressions. These logs were made using Chuck's DKAZ at 242 degrees. There were plenty of Aussie ABC stations, as well as some commercial stations

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight DU's for 10-10 (Really)

It wasn't exactly a Victoria-like session, but freakish auroral conditions brought the first Australian DU audio to Puyallup in 8 years. Audio showed up on 594, 792 and 828, although they didn't cooperate to provide parallels. The SSB spotting receiver had them all nulling to the SW, however,

Re: [IRCA] TP DX in Grayland on October 10

Bruce, in Victoria, around 14:00, everything was solidly DU. Not terrific, but many of the lower band stations at audio or almost audio. 612 was the winner for me. I didn't see anything that would be Asian at that time. I suspected that the coast would yield interesting findings. I'll look

[IRCA] WIBA sticker

--- Begin Message --- A bit OT here. I remember someone asking me about a WIBA-1310 Brewers sticker that I had received at the convention last July. But I cannot remember who it was and apparently, I didn't write it down (relying on my somewhat sketchy memory... dumb). So, I have finally

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight DU's for 10-10 (Really)

Hi Nick,   Thanks very much for providing parallel confirmations for the freakish 594-3WV and 792-4RN receptions here in Puyallup!  When 594 was first fading in with audio around 1355 I was very skeptical that it wasn't JOAK, and wasted some time repeatedly checking the null bearing to

[IRCA] TP 10 Oct Victoria version

Almost all DU, but actually not all that impressive by the standards of some other mornings in the last few weeks. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not quite; 612 was making a run for it. Reasonable audio at times during the

[IRCA] 738-Tahiti Rides the Aurora (1152 UTC)

The French Polynesian station 738-Tahiti with its best signal ever here in Puyallup at 1152 UTC this morning, no doubt given a major boost by aurora propagation. Apparently no Asian propagation at all during this predawn darkness https://app.box.com/s/n57r87f4v3gsp09gcw1pztlcdfdoouug
