Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] WQFG689 1710 Hudson Cty NJ into IL tonight

Kaz, I've been monitoring 1710 for the last hour and it's the usual mix here: the Hudson County, NJ. TIS, Radio Celestial from the Bronx (despite that FCC bust letter that circulated around, they continue to broadcast), and Chicago pirate "W807". Radio Celestial plays music this time of night and

Thanks everyone. I've tried the link again on another computer and was immediately rewarded with live audio. I should have tried this on another computer before posting. 73, -Tim On Mon, 2013-09-02 at 15:19 -0700, Glenn Hauser wrote: > > Their live audio stream auto-launches within seconds o

If anyone knows of a working live audio stream for 783 Mauritania, or another way to confirm what I think might be Mauritania on 783, it would be much appreciated. I've tried accessing their live audio stream via their website but it doesn't work for me: http://www.radiomauritanie.mr/rm/ I hear

1566 TWR Benin coming in surprisingly well over the terrible thunderstorm noise here. English announcements and now into a song with consistent audio for the last few minutes. No other TAs noted right now, but 783 was in last night with occasional audio at this time (0330 UTC). This might be my

Bob, I also heard those time pips here. They were faint and I didn't notice them until I played the recording back again this morning. The pips appeared at 12:06am and I heard faint sweep tones at 12:07am. No other identifiable content was heard. I could only pull this out using upper-sideband

I heard what I think sounded like sweeping tones, but at 12:07am (outside of the three minute window). Can anyone confirm sweeps at :07 ? 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan On Sat, 2013-08-17 at 00:08 -0400, Robert Ross wrote: > On 2013-08-14, at 2:53 AM, Mike Terry wrote: > > > Kevin Redding writes

I heard 2 minutes of clear EWTN programming leading up to 10:00 UTC TOH this morning. This ran through TOH and the station faded under an ESPN affiliate (WHB or WJJQ) about a minute past TOH. I can find only one EWTN affiliate on 810 and it's WQIZ St. George, SC. This one doesn't seem likely due

[IRCA] Updated frequency offset for 1017 Tonga?

2013-07-25 Thread kilokat7
I suspect the 1017 carrier that was teasing me this morning may have been Tonga. With the Perseus, the strongest of the two carriers that I measured at 1034 UTC was centered on 1017.008 kHz, while a weaker one appears dead-on 1017.000. Can any western DXers confirm if Tonga is +0.008? I've enjoy
