[IRCA] TP 30 Aug Victoria version

Much like yesterday in its order of DX, but not as strong nor as interesting; decided slant towards New Zealand. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a

Re: [IRCA] Michigan DU's & new domestic logged, Aug 26

As WJR faded out at 0605, it left a very weak jumble on frequency. Nothing came out. I am going to try my 4' loop attached to me TecsunPL310 and see how that does tomorrow at sunrise. My 2010s are with Craig getting modified. Sure wish I had them but it's not meant to be. Todd Skaine On Aug 30,

Re: [IRCA] Michigan DU's & new domestic logged, Aug 26

Thanks Todd! No idea on KFMB, maybe something's out of whack on their end, or maybe it's the same propagation that brings in the DU stuff here this time of year. Whatever it is, they are being heard under WJR every morning, so it seems worth mentioning to other folks who need them, 73, -Tim

Re: [IRCA] Michigan DU's & KFMB San Diego, Aug 29

Thanks, Kaz This morning had 1034.998 with threshold audio near 1100 UTC TOH but tough going through WNVR's splatter. Faint music again heard on 1098 near TOH. Lots of lower band DU carriers again this morning but weaker than the previous morning. Hopefully you can set up soon to catch some of

Re: [IRCA] Michigan DU's & KFMB San Diego, Aug 29

Gary, Thanks for the suggestions and audio links, much appreciated. My 702 had very faint music through TOH and then a male announcer after the song ends at 1101 UTC. Nothing resembling "Magic-- feels good" could be heard in my very limited and weak clip. There is however a unique sound effect

I seem to recall that fmscan.org used to provide such things, but the site seems awfully flaky now, and I can't find any patterns either. best wishes, Nick At 19:27 30-08-17, Neil Kazaross wrote: Where can one look at plots of DU directional patterns? I used to know a site but have lost it.

Good stuff Tim. I should soon be set up again to check DU's as well. Re: 603 never more than a weak carrier here. Re: 693 carrier here but never that strong and honestly too close to IBOC noise from WSCR. Re: 702. I've had a station mix with 2BL a couple of times before including once last Oct

[IRCA] S. AZ TPs 8/30

Best so far this new season for Japan with 774 rising to decent level briefly. Many hets but the DU hets never did much, maybe 891 had traces of audio near sunrise. Expanded band only 1611 with poor het, far from audio. Steve AA7U near Sahuarita, AZ R75; west DKAZ + FLG100 preamp 594 JJ

Everything is fine now. I originally tried updating firmware with a SanDisk USB Drive but I think it was corrupt. Got a new usb drive at my local CVS and the firmware updated fine and the radio booted up. On Wed, Aug 30, 2017 at 7:42 AM, Paul B. Walker, Jr. < walkerbroadcast...@gmail.com> wrote:

Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY I have one more file to cover starting at 1458 edt. My 1503 edt file shuts down at 1504 edt when it hits a buzz saw, so not much there. My 1448 file is screwed up, stuttering badly, almost like each microsecond of recording time was exchanged with the next one, so

Finally a signal was received from Asia! A strong carrier signal (no audio) from Asia was monitored on 828 kHz (probably JOBB) at 1131 UTC. Also, a strong carrier was heard on 702 from WSW until 1217 fade out (LSR 1201). Thanks to everyone who responded to my query about connecting the

Overall this August 2017 DXpedition has been far and away the most productive Rockwork 4 trip ever, with two Western Australians (531-6DL and 558-6WA) received at decent levels, five stations received on 531 kHz alone (PI, More FM, 2PM, 4KZ and 6DL), 558-Fiji completely restored and reaching S9

[IRCA] TP 29 Aug Victoria version

Lots of carriers, DU audio mixing with Asian earlier, then more DU towards sunrise with quite a New Zealand romp from 1300-20UT. I'm sure that some were missed, like 4QR and 3LO, too busy chasing other stuff pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
