[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on 21 Feb

2018-02-21 Thread Bruce Portzer
Conditions were slightly more interesting today.  The SDR recorded from 1155 to 1510 UT, but things didn't get interesting until after 1400 when carriers showed up on several second tier channels: 657 666 675 702 738 756 783 918 936 945 981 1206 1287 1575 and probably a few others.  Unfortuna

Thanks for the update on 850-KHHO's non-IBOC status, Pete. Once conditions improve, that will open up 837 and 864 for TP-DXing here. With 846-Kiribati only 4 kHz away from the local pest, the Pacific Island station is still a pretty challenging catch here. Fortunately its null bearing (to the N

I find here in IL that 549 is best around sunset and can even be stronger than 531. But after about half an hour 531 is typically stronger. I certainly am not sure why it usually is like this. Caution for those trying for 531 is that CIAO 530 often has mid-east mx as well. 73 KAZ On Wed, Feb 21,

Dave Valko and I were listening last night and heard them sign off at 7:05pm EST with this singing ID. We're debating if the frequency is "1510" or "1710" and neither of us can make out what comes after the frequency and before "radio" - a call? a slogan? It hasn't snapped into focus for me yet:

That oldies station on 1710 was heard here in central PA yesterday between 6-7pm EST. Signed off with a singing jingle at 7:05pm. Best on the south-pointed loop, but I'm not convinced that it's actually in that direction - it could be that loop rejects the QRM from the Hudson NJ TIS better. Also h
