[IRCA] TP 11 Oct

A rather unpredictable mess this morning Listening to JOHR-1287 just now, moments ago, it was apparent Tonga on 1017 running late, a fair number of tentative New Zealand, some Australian, HLAZ on their Chinese service pattern, here's JOLF-1242 popping up. Nothing is very strong and

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

Like Nick has reported the band featured both Asians and trans-equatorial propagation this morning, with 738-Tahiti again unusually strong here throughout the session. The Asian big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828 and (especially) 1566 were back up to their typical strength during the predawn

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

Just heading out the door here Gary, so detailed analysis will have to waitbut I must admit I supposed that Tonga was on late because the talk sounded islandish rather than the expected English or Korean. It didn't peak here until 1417UT, though had been nagging for some time. BUT,

Re: [IRCA] TP 11 Oct

I was up at 1215 to prepare for the Victoria marathon (volunteer in comms as a ham radio guy...) And according to NHP fish barrel it was a colorful hot mess -/ not a good opening but one with a diversity of signals. Curious to see what Nicks recordings turn up -- overall looks like a positive

[IRCA] Arizona TP, October 11th

I haven't been doing much of this lately, but after some "live" DXing yesterday evening, I did an "until the laptop battery runs dry" SDR recording overnight with my Conti Superloop pointing due north. This was in part looking for new domestic stations, but probably does nearly as well on

[IRCA] TP DX in Central California

A little after 1400 UTC today I had carriers on 774 and 747 using a stock barefoot Sony ICF-2010. No audio from presumed JOUB. Presumed JOIB carrier was getting creamed by the KCBS IBOC. I may get up earlier once in awhile to see what I can get. I have several passive loops that might help. I

As promised, 1017 recording from 1417UT this morning: http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/1017_20151011_1417.wav Any guess as to language please, better yet, certainty... best wishes, Nick ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

I heard what I assume was Tonga-1017 thundering in at 1350 with what sounded like a sports play-by-play. It was definitely in an island language and not Tagalog. Romania was mentioned several times. The Rugby World Cup is taking place right now. Tonga is participating, so Radio Tonga is

Dennis, I always found that the best time for TP's here in Arizona is around local sunrise. Bill Block Prescott Valley, AZ ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

Bruce and Nick,   Thanks for your comments on the 1017 mystery signal around 1400 this morning.   My reception of the signal was nowhere near as favorable as Nick's recording, but I do remember that the other CRI stations on 963, 1044, 1206 and 1323 were nowhere near audio at the time, which 

[IRCA] 738-Tahiti Rocks In Again

It isn't nearly as exotic as Nick's recording of an apparent 1017-Tonga this morning, but 738-Tahiti was also unusually strong from south of the Equator this morning-- maybe a consolation prize for this lackluster location? This was African-sounding music at good strength at 1343 UTC-- pretty

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11: 1017 recording

Perhaps, Neil. 1017 is there, much better (at least a lot less splatter) right now at 05:52 UTC. Modulation isn't great, though. Rats, as I type this, the signal just faded away to nothing. Hmm. Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC On Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 2:50 AM, neilkaz

[IRCA] Grayland day two

Day Two at Grayland was similar to what Gary and Nick reported, but with a lot more stations. Some had consistent reception, others popped up for a few minutes and then faded back into the mush. DUs were in short supply and somewhat intermittent, despite having an antenna aimed at 242

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11: 1017 recording

So Tonga is no longer signing off earlier? I ask since I sometimes have a reasonable carrier on 1017 here and think there's a chance to log them in IL. 73 KAZ -Original Message- >From: Chuck Hutton >Sent: Oct 11, 2015 9:13 PM >To: "irca@hard-core-dx.com"

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

Gary - The game was interspersed with a few blocks of talk up until 1416, but I don't hear any more play by play after that. There are some ads in the following minutes but I quit listening. Chuck > Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2015 01:28:09 + > From: d1028g...@comcast.net > To: irca@hard-core-dx.com
