[IRCA] TP 16 Apr. Victoria version

Even the carriers were pretty well shot by 1300UT today. Audio was limited to 738 at 1141UT w/man talking, weak, likely Tahiti per the FF inflection, and 972 w/man and woman talking about 1215UT, but too much splatter to guess at language. 774, 1287 and 1566 carriers rounded out the dismal mo

[IRCA] TP 20-21 Apr. Victoria version

I guess you can say the Asiatics are taking a rest, and in their place some DUs. Brief audio traces on 1548 on the 20th, 1300-1UT, if I listened really hard, the ABC fanfare might have been there with some female talk. 1116 turned up on the 21st, with woman talking 1301UT, sounded DU EE, but

Things are looking upa bit. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nope Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1566 HLAZ. Woman in JJ 123

[IRCA] TP 23 Apr. Victoria version

It might have been a reasonable morning on the coast. Lots of carriers today, both DU and Asiatic apparently, and extreme minimalist DXing dragged out a number of mostly weak audios. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nope Reasonable a

[IRCA] TP 24 Apr. Victoria version

Not as productive as yesterday, no particular sunrise enhancement, and not as many carriers. Still, any Asian is a bit of a surprise this late in the season. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nope Reasonable audio at times during t

Probably not worth crawling out of bed for 1287 had man talking, JJ inflection, various times 1130-1230UT, with maybe best 1227UT when a couple of men were discussing something, and another agreeing, maybe a couple of JJ words were snaggable., 1566 had the JJ program s/on fairly readable

[IRCA] TP 28 Apr. Victoria version

Pretty weak stuff today, with more of a DU feel, especially after 1200UT Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : 675 man talking 1246UT, too mangled by splash for language ID 738 Tahit

[IRCA] TP 29 Apr. Victoria version

Lots of splatter this morning, lots of carriers, and quite a bit of audio, some of it rather puzzling. A fine morning for the end of April. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ. Even the CC program did well at times this mornin

[IRCA] TP 30 Apr. Victoria version

Mostly carriers today, on unusual channels. The small amount of audio was DU. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nope Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w

[IRCA] TP 5 May Victoria version

It's May, and the DXing is difficult, but really, what little is there is, is still Asiatic it seems; Tahiti of course will come in regardless at this location. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nope Reasonable audio at times durin

[IRCA] Fwd: [mwcircle] Bird Migration affected by LF & ME radio signals

from MW Circlethe interesting thing is that this turned out to be very much a local problem, as moving the test site one kilometer allowed the birds to re-orient themselves. So, local electrical noise? I've often thought that the way to defeat electro-smog is to make it an environment

Re: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 10 May 2014

So Alberta is where the DX has gone? Beyond hearing Tahiti at a reasonable level around 1229UT on 10 May, fair strength carriers were restricted to 1008 1098 and 1503. There were carriers on the X-band, but weak. 1611 doesn't need much strength here to start delivering audio, but there rea
