Hi Dennis, Thanks for another great TP report this morning, and for your comment on the FSL antenna article.
Yes, I remember your amazing TP-DX report from the Oregon cliff site during the IRCA convention, and it was one reason why I decided to push my own DU-chasing luck on the Oregon beach cliffs last year. 576-2RN was a regular during those Ultralight DXing sessions. The diverse variety of foreign music played on the Aussie RN network occasionally tricks DXers into thinking that they have received something quite exotic :-) 73, Gary -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Vroom <[email protected]> To: d1028gary <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Apr 6, 2012 11:42 am Subject: Re: [IRCA] TP's for Thursday 4/05/12 Hi Gary, Thanks for the information on 2RN, after checking the stations on PALs and noticing the comment that 2RN played religious music I thought that it could be them. Will start checking 576 when I listen, nothing this morning on 576. Hopefully this summer I can make it to the pull out area just South of Cannon Beach, OR I had good luck there with TP's when the last IRCA convention was held in Seaside. Enjoyed you FSL Antenna article in the recent issue of IRCA. best regards, Dennis, Kalama, WA ------------------------------------------------------------ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 5, 2012 7:59 AM Subject: Re: [IRCA] TP's for Thursday 4/05/12 Hi Dennis, Thanks for your detailed TP report this morning (and on most recent mornings). I was also listening from 1300-1345 this morning, and noticed some unusual (for here) propagation from the South Pacific. 738-Tahiti was in at a fair level with French talk around 1330, plus there were some fairly strong carriers on several "Big Gun" DU frequencies like 567, 657 and 675 kHz. Your 576 kHz UnID could possibly have been a signal from 2RN, which is a fairly strong station on the Oregon coast each summer, typically playing a diverse variety of music 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA). -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Vroom <[email protected]> To: irca <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Apr 5, 2012 7:39 am Subject: [IRCA] TP's for Thursday 4/05/12 Conditions really improved this morning. Lower channels at good levels while the upper channels 1566 & 1575 produced no audio. Hawaii on 1500 was heard with a good signal. Felt like a morning in September, a nice change from previous spring/winter conditions here. 153 RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1308 fair signal with man in Russian 279 RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1301-1304 weak signal with man in Russian. 576 UNKNOWN 1340-1343 fair signal at times. Gospel song by woman then signal faded. out at end of song. Not // to the NHK 1 network. First time anything heard on this channel. Back again at 1347 with woman singing non gospel tune. 1348 Jazz tune. 1451 man speaking in ? Signal then faded out. Signal best on SW ewe, but heard on other 3 antennas. 594 JAPAN, JOAK NHK 1 1309 good signal with two men in Japanese. 666 JAPAN, JOBK NHK 1 1326-1327 man & woman in Japanese // 594. 693 JAPAN, JOAB NHK 2 1318 good signal with man in Japanese. 774 JAPAN, JOUB NHK2 1319 good signal // 693 828 JAPAN, JOBB NHK 2 1320-1322 poor signal. Surprise that this station poor while other Japanese powerhouse station had good signals. 1323 signal up to fair. 891 AUSTRALIA? close to audio carrier, but Idaho station KDJQ signal is to strong. I can lower KDJQ signal with the sky wire loop, but it lowers the DU to a lower carrier level. 1500 HAWAII KHKA 1400 good signal atop channel with ID. ESPN programming.
