[IRCA] TP 9 Feb Victoria version

As mentioned, there was quite a confusing opening starting at 1520UT. Signals would fade up quickly to barely audible and then disappear again. So lots of carriers heard with traces of audio, but also several CNR1 signals dug out by aid of parallels pretty darn good audio (all of it

Re: [IRCA] Feb 9, 2018 Morning TP's

I don't know Gary. That was a pretty strong reception of HLCA by Victoria standards. I recall that you heard Asians pretty well when you listened regularly for them, and that you usually heard Chinese and Koreans better than I hear them in Victoria.There's this big block of stone

During December's trip to the west coast of the Big Island the TP-DX propagation was radically different from the watered-down version currently being tolerated on the west coast. Instead of a few Asian big guns reaching modest audio each morning there were wild DU-TP snarls every evening,

Re: [IRCA] Feb 9, 2018 Morning TP's

Hi Guys, During antenna testing this morning I had an unattended 8" FSL set up to record 972-HLCA throughout the sunrise period, and it came up with some fairly strong Korean female vocal music at 1512 UTC. I don't know what the signal was like in Victoria, but this mediocre location sometimes

Re: [IRCA] Informal "poll"

My start was in Northern Wisconsin at a summer camp in 1951. I lived in Des Moines at the time and had an old Silvertone “portable” at camp. One of my tent mates was from the Chicago area, was a Cubs fan and wanted to see if we could hear the games at night on WIND, 560. Of course, then, we

Next time I am on the road near NYC, I will be sure to keep the car radio tuned to 1710. 73, Stan, WA1LOU On 2/9/18 3:00 PM, Russ Edmunds wrote: Almost certainly one of the NYC pirates. Some of those have been there for years. Probably someone whois closer than I might be able to help with

Re: [IRCA] Informal "poll"

I'm the buddy down the street that Billy Brooks referred to! I started around age 12 (1956) with a Zenith All-American Five table radio. Heard some remarkable BCB DX, most notably HCJB-1310. Upgraded to a Hallicrafters S-85 and 200' longwire, and all thru HS (1958-1962) enjoyed those wondrous

Re: [IRCA] 1710 mystery station

Hi Les, In the past as today, this station plays music most of the time and seldom has any voice. Also, the station is as weak as my Spanish, so I might miss an ID even if they gave one. 73, Stan, WA1LOU On 2/9/18 2:39 PM, Les Rayburn wrote: Stan, Hmm…my first guess would be the pirate

Re: [IRCA] 1710 mystery station

Stan, Hmm…my first guess would be the pirate station in Baton Rogue, LA that gets out very well at night. It’s Spanish language, and they rarely identify. But a daytime reception over that distance would be unusual. Maybe a Spanish language pirate from NYC? I remember there was one in

[IRCA] 1710 mystery station

We lost power here for about 30 minutes this afternoon, so what did I do? Chop wood for the fireplace? No, I got on the radio! Logged six new navigational beacons on LW and then I moved over to the AM band and heard a mystery station on 1710. All I heard was Spanish music - no voice - so no

Re: [IRCA] Feb 9, 2018 Morning TP's

There seemed to be a boost around 1520UT for about 10 or 15 minutes, and there was mostly quite sharp changes in signal strength; very erratic. Full report later. At 16:41 2018-02-09, R. Colin Newell wrote: Hall-Patch fish barrel lit up at 1500 UTC. I got out of the shower at 1515 and

Hall-Patch fish barrel lit up at 1500 UTC. I got out of the shower at 1515 and took a look - The NRD525 revealed quite a few audio and lots of hets upper band. As Nick has suggested, a KAZ antenna will be better than an end-fed Ham 80-10 non directional. Audio: 774, 1566, 1575 Great carriers -
