Good job on Alaska Mike (Mike) From: stonb...@abnorth.com To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:43:43 -0600 Subject: [IRCA] New logging Hi Everyone: In my quest to log more Alaskans I have started earlier this year, even tho I don't have my Alaskan BOG laid down yet. Being somewhat encouraged by Pat's frequent reporting of the Alaskans he has heard I have spent more than a few nights parked on 670 in the fond hope of hearing Dillingham. The big problem with this frequency is KBOI, which I heard ID many times along with WSCR. Several mornings ago I heard jazz type music followed by an undecipherable ID, which I did suspect was my target station. Then this morning at 08:00MDT (10:00EDT) I heard this music again followed by a reasonably clear ID for KDLG-Dillingham and then into news. Fortunately this time KBOI was barely audible in the background.

[IRCA] Two unIDS's 1070 CW and 1100 Oldies
Hi; Last night I took an hour and spun the Eton E-100's dials. I added several to the ULR only book, including KRLD through super heavy (18 mile) WFNI IBOC hash. I was actually trying for the-should-be easy WTIC but I basically got Dallas, all night, even at 1 AM. I also got loud regional Mexican mx again on 1080 at 1900 EDT, which must be Atlanta. The IBOC on 1060, 80 and 90 is unbearable. I also added WXJC-850 AL to the log. I have heard Birmingham many times at LSS but not on a ULR. My first unID was Country (or maybe Classic Country) on 1070. I heard Fast as you by Dwight Yoakam at 1927 EDT. CHOK? KFTI? I checked both websites and no saw recently played lists. Could also be, I suppose MN or MT but seemed to early for those and SC should have powered WAY down by then. The second unID was a very poor signal with a station playing oldies on 1100 at 0625 EDT, this morning. Springfield TN seems like the best bet there but if they are on CT, it would have been too early as they should sign on at 0700 EDT. WISS - WI should not have been on yet, either. This with in a very narrow Cleveland null (still could hear every word from WTAM) with I Can't Help Myself (the Sugar Pie Honey Bunch song) and Hungry Heart by Bruce Springsteen. Would appreciate any guesses and / or contact info on the possibilities. 1070 unID 10-19 1927 CW music in tight WFNI null. Fast as you by D. Yoakam.

Re: [IRCA] Two unIDS's 1070 CW and 1100 Oldies
It's very possible the C W you heard on 1070 was WCSZ Sans Souci Greenville and they forgot to power down. If you heard no real imaging, it was definately WCSZ. The station is/was back no running CHief Engineer Bill Einstein BOyd's classic country library to keep the license alive.. and the station has eben known to be faulty before not powering down on time.

Re: [IRCA] New logging
Many thanks to Pat, Mike and Walt for the kudos. Congrats Mike! It does surprise me you don't have Alaskans all over the dial, as close as you are. I might be closer in terms of miles Pat, but Alaskans from here are far from easy. All my recent catches have been early morning around local sunrise when most lower 48 stations have faded down. Even then I have to contend with the Albertans. Also, I'm not at the dials at that time and my phasor does not always hold a null overnight.

[IRCA] My first TP ever (JOIB-747) - now the challenge is to hear it on a UL
Yesterday morning (Oct 19) at 1355 UTC I noticed using a DX-375 a strong het on 690, presumably from JOAB however no audio could be pulled out. This led me today to check the Japan frequencies, using a barefoot GE Superadio II. The het was still there from 1340 - 1400, but still no audio. Tuning to 747, at times JOIB was armchair copy. Tried for it on my Gary DeBock aligned SRF-59 but signal had faded by the time I got the SRF-59 on the right frequency. Still thrilling to get audio on a TP for the first time ever, more so using a barefoot portable in RF noisy Calgary AB. The icing on the cake will be to receive it on the SRF-59, needless to say will try this tomorrow. Will also try the other NHK powerhouse frequencies - too back I have 50 kW local CHQR-770 which would make reception of JOUB-774 difficult. Perhaps I should move to the west coast:) 73, Deane McIntyre VE6BPO Calgary Alberta ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-20... More Fun
Hello All, About a month ago Walt sent me an MP3 of a Chinese station mixing with KPUG-1170 at a pretty good level, and recently it seemed that everyone except me had heard the KBS mega-station mixing with the Bellingham, WA (sports talk) domestic station. Running out of easy Ultralight TP's to chase after 107 were in the log, I decided to give TP-chasing on 1170 a try during good conditions this morning. KPUG is pretty far from here, so it was easy to null on the 9' loop. Although the null bearing wasn't ideal for Korea, it didn't matter during great TP propagation (like this morning). Sure enough at 1411, there was a Chinese music station mixing with KPUG's much-reduced signal, then the KBS 500 kw station HLSR joined in a minute later (with Korean talk, then non-Korean foreign-type music). The Chinese music station was UnID, but it may possibly have been the CNR1 reported by Bruce in his excellent Grayland report (in the current DXM). The KBS station rose up to 9+ local-like strength at 1418 playing some foreign music, completely taking over the frequency from both KPUG and the UnID Chinese, and was easily audible on the C.Crane SWP Slider with no help from the loop. The Chinese then came up in strength at 1422, before both TP's began to fade at 1430. It was a very fun morning, and the KBS station (Ultralight TP #108) was the first TP I've heard on a domestic frequency since logging JOBB-830 (in January of 1973) on a Sony TR-6400 :-) 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP (7.5 Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 9' (side) PVC-frame tuned passive loop ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
[IRCA] TPs for Oct 20 from Orcas
I'm in the midst of making some minor modifications to the Wellbrook Array here and that may have affected my morning results. In any case, my results were Uninspiring this morning they weren't bad, weren't good, just sorta low normal. The upper band seemed down, especially, though there was still a double handful of audio there. The items of interest: 594: Something was doing almost as well as NHK in a real fur ball just after dawn. It may have been the DU, but it was gone before I could sort things out 1224: Was clearly in Korean, rather than the usual low level JJ. The only one listed is a KBS3, HLAA. 1260: I've been noticing a northerly NAm station growing in power as the season changes and inhibiting JOIR in the dawn and post-dawn period. Today, I heard enough Canadian EE and discussions of regional hockey to conclude that CFRN Edmonton is hanging in much longer now, due to northern darkness. 1440: Had a similar experience here, with CKJR, Wetaskiwan, Alberta, running several ads for businesses in nearby Camrose, AB. and pretty well wiping out JOWF around 1440 UTC. What ever happened to the Canadian movement to FM, anyway??? Some DXers are wringing their hands about the Mexican AM stations being mandated to move to FM in 5 years. Frankly, I can't feature small city independent Mexican station owners doing much of anything that Mexico City bureaucrats mandate. And the big city owners??? They'll likely only move if it's proven that listeners have abandoned AM. It will be entertaining to watch, I suspect. Many thanks to Bruce P. bird-dogging the NHK2 sign-off schedule. I do wish that the news had been better!

But I never did get an ID, even though Colin assured me the format matched (English lessons).

[IRCA] TP for 20 Oct from Victoria, BC
Oh my, that was a bit of a ride Started listening around 1320, and all the regulars were in, but there was plenty of splatter as well. About 1405 things started to liven up slowly, and by 1420 some of the second tier stations were dropping serious field strength into the neighborhood. It still seemed a splattery morning however, so it was hard to ID the weaker stuff; on top of that, the weaker stuff tended to be Chinese with no obvious parallels, so were pretty much unIDable anyway. Also, although there were a lot of contenders in the darn good audio category, the regulars (NHK porkers, and 972) were really no better than other mornings, and at times 594 would fade under a couple of co-channel stations. In fact, I don't actually recall hearing 747 rise seriously above the splatter at any point, but I could have missed it. pretty darn good audio (at least briefly, though mostly pretty steady): 279 R. Rosii 567 JOIK //594 594 JOAK 639 CNR-1 at 1420 better than //5030 666 JOBK //594 briefly at 1345 738 quiet mx at 1433, seemed to be Taiwan, as IDd later w/parallel to 1143 774 JOUB 828 JOBB (something under it as well, but not ID'd) 936 mostly mx, some CC talk 1429UT; presumed Anhui 963 CRI in RR at 1431. 972 HLCA 1134 KBS //972 (this was strong, but so was the CKWX splatter) 1593 CNR-1 at 1449UT reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 189 R. Rossii; very clear, but weaker than 279 above 531 JOQG //594 but not this strength until 1431UT 558 JOCR was dominant when I checked, which HLQH under 603 two stations at least. HLQH dominant at time it was this strong, per 558 // 621 CC talk at 1427UT 657 KK talk and hum 675 presumed Vietnam, didn't get this strong until 1433 711 HLKA w/KK talk along with bubble jammer 747 JOIB (really) 873 JOGB //828 at least earlier 918 woman in CC with wonderful echo; something else there also 1017 CRI w/ chimes and fanfare on hour 1143 Taiwan Fisheries w/mx //738 at 1442UT 1161 oriental singing at 1425; Taiwan? 1170 CC talk dominating; likely VoA 1206 big hum and KK talk; 1411UT 1287 JOHR, but not until later 1566 HLAZ, never made it to the top tier not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 153 R. Rossii 594 two stations battling w/JOAK at 1412, sometimes overpowering it (or more JOAK became underpowered at that point); looked for Vietnam parallel, but 675 wasn't really there and 5975 wasn't // 612 JOLK //594 at 1428 o/u something else 792 western sounding ballad at 1408; no idea 945 CNR1 1044 CRI in JJ, fanfare on hour 1188 mix of NHK1 and presumed HLKX 1242 presumed JOLF w/mx 1251 could have been VoR, but not up to its carrier strength; someone off channel as well (if not this) 1278 CC talk 1305 KK talk, so HLSV 1422 presumed JORF w/mx 1503 JOUK //594 at 1444 Burbles in the splatter and noise: 801 hum dominating signal mess, some CC in there? 837 NHK1 //594, but a general mess of signals and IBOC 1008 rumble (jammer?) dominant, 2 station under it 1035 hum, strong carrier, mess of signals 1053 JJ? talk u/strong carrier 1089 CC? 1314 usual hum w/possible JOUF mixed in 1476 no idea; couldn't get // w/NHK2, perhaps China or Philippines more likely anyway; talk was too weak for ID'ing language 1557 mx at 1452; haven't heard much from WYFR this season 1584 hum burying audio (s) Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 576, 846, 891 (too much CKMO-900), 1152, 1215 (w/hum) best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-20... More Fun
Hi Nick, Yes, I remember the discussion over Walt's initial 1170 Chinese MP3 made at 1358 on 9-9, in which the Chinese dialect was clearly identified here as Mandarin, not Cantonese. I believe that Bill Harms also mentioned that VOA would have a Cantonese program at the time of Walt's recording, not Mandarin. From what I recall, the conclusion was that Walt was not receiving VOA-Phippines, in that September 9 MP3. This morning the 1170 Chinese station format sounded very much like the typical CNR1 programming (with Chinese music), but the signal dipped below a loud KBS signal before any check could be made of a parallel. I don't know if VOA Philippines would play Chinese music or not during their Cantonese program, but Bruce's recent Grayland report mentioned CNR1 mixing with KBS on 1170, both over KPUG. The Chinese station received this morning is still an UnID mystery, and will be investigated more here in the next few days. Meanwhile, I have my own 1170 mix MP3 of both TP's, winning the battle over KPUG :-) 73, Gary In a message dated 10/20/2009 10:44:07 A.M.

It will be interesting to see what you track down, as I was hearing CC type talk myself this morning on that channel, but didn't stop to figure out if it might be Cantonese or standard Chinese (not being an expert in such matters).

FWIW, I've hrd KBS and CNR1 1170 multiple times from home this season, but I've never hrd. VOA from home or at Grayland.

The Chinese music station was UnID, but it may possibly have been the CNR1 reported by Bruce in his excellent Grayland report (in the current DXM). Isn't VoA Philippines supposed to broadcast Cantonese until 1500UT, Gary?

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-20... More Fun
Fellas, CNR1 was running an hour long music program this morning starting at about 1403... not classical opera, at least when I was listening. It was more an Asian pops program. I think that it was an hour long.

[IRCA] 1170 kHz Recordings - VOA Poro, China, etc.
With the recent discussion of the regular denizens of 1170 kHz, I thought the following MP3s might be helpful or interesting: 1170 VOA Philippines with Poro transmitter location ID in English (from Nov. 1st DXpedition last year at Grayland): http://www.guyatkins.com/1170_voa_poro_01nov08_grayland.mp3 Here's a MP3 from September this year, heard at home in Puyallup. Although the file name has China Korea in it, that was just a quick assumption at the time of recording. I think the jumble may actually be Cantonese and Mandarin, both.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-20... More Fun
John, Bruce, Nick and Others, When reviewing the 6-minute long MP3 of the 1170 kHz mix (HLSR, UnID Chinese and KPUG) recorded on the 9' box loop this morning, there was a Mandarin Chinese female voice prior to the Chinese music, mixing with with KBS (HLSR) and KPUG. All three stations are easily audible during a 3-minute stretch of the MP3, which I'll send to you all privately (and to anyone else who is interested). I'll listen again on 1170 kHz tomorrow, but when conditions are good these three stations seem to be of roughly equal strength, and unpredictable in who will dominate the frequency (kind of like 1134 kHz, with KBS, JOQR and CNR1). 73, Gary In a message dated 10/20/2009 1:49:29 P.M.

[IRCA] TP's in Seattle - much better than yesterday
Today's TP DX was much better than yesterday. To begin with, I managed a couple of logs on the car radio while traveling to work: 747 with the usual English lessons at about 1355 popping through the KXL splat for a moment, and VOA-1575 surfacing for a minute or so in a SE Asia language at about 1410. There were lots of hets, too, but writing them down while driving 65 mph in the dark seemed like a bad idea. I also had a het on 819 and traces of audio, not bad with a 10 kw local on 820, but the audio could have easily been a domestic instead of N Korea. This was the third time this season for 747, the first time this season for 1575, although I heard it once last year on the car rx. Meanwhile, back home, the SDR-IQ was recording merrily away, and the Icom R-75 was pulling out Navtex stuff on 518- I finally bagged my first TP Navtex reception in the form of a Vital Warning for Naha Navtex Area, something about a typhoon near Okinawa. I've heard that one and many Navtex TP's at Grayland, but this was the first time from home. More standard TP stuff included the following highlights (roughly but not quite in time order): 1278 JJ talk weak 1058, CC pips at ToH weak 1278 JJ man woman fair 1058, played song across ToH 720 Sounded like N Korea, good strength but mixing w/computer noise 1308 693 774 747 good w/wx 1302 657 YL tirade 1301 756 weak CNR pips theme mx 1300 738 good carrier, weak audio (as was the case with many stations), KBS pips 1300 729 Mix of CC JJ 1259, mix of pips at ToH fair 855 Female rant in KK good on 855.05 at 1332 936 Good carrier, weak CC talk 1331, probably Anhui 918 Flute mx CC talk weak 1331, probably Shandong 891 bits of talk in CJDC/KIXI splat, 1330, didn't sound JJ/CC/KK, so possibly Thailand 972 KK news, stronger than 970, unid w/woman in CC in background 1402 945 981 both weak w/pips CC talk in heavy splatter 1400 909 NHK pips weak 1400 828 NHK pips another set about equal in strength 1400 1557 Unid, Asian talk 1400, maybe WYFR-Taiwan, stronger than 1566 but severe 1550 splatter 1422 Man in JJ 1436 good 1512 Asian talk, decent signal but heavy 1520/1510 splatter 1446 1575 VOA Thailand, nice signal 1330 You're listening to the V of America, Washington DC, then Yankee Doodle, the following pgm is in Burmese, then YL w/nx in Burmese 1476 Mystery 1426-1440 light pop mx unid talk, fair signal at times but too much domestic splatter to ID language, general flavor of mx talk made me think Filippino, but that's likely just wishful thinking.

Re: [IRCA] Alberta TAs
I've been checking every so often this evening as time permits, and generally it's been the usual suspects in with audio. Every once in a while an unusual one makes a brief appearance. Just had someone on 1053 (other than TalkSport), and bits of talk earlier on 1512.Patrick, you seem to be doing better than me at the moment, as I have nothing on 864 adn 819 was in earlier, but gone now. Do have 2 stns on 855 though, with the Spaniard on top and another with pop oldies underneath. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta Nigel Pimblett wrote: Hopefully I'm not boring anyone, but the TAs are in again tonight.

I noticed several of them hanging around past 0430 last night, for a total opening of over three hours. Up and down, with no predictable pattern.

No, actually it's interesting as they're running a program about the influence of the Scots on liquor throughout the world.

The East Coast guys must be laughing as we try to sort these unfamiliar stations out :-) 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] beacon possibility
I hope to run the 160 meter amateur radio beacon this evening from 0550 to 0615UT. This will be on 1998.5 kHz and comprise a repeated CW identifier of my amateur callsign VE7DXR. With the good TA conditions, hopefully this might make it to Europe, though I'm not helpful; it's a pipsqueak. But, I'd appreciate any reports from this side.thanks.

Re: [IRCA] TAs
They popped up again with a weather report, and then a review of today's papers.. Now I've found the right schedule (I was looking at the FM), tonight's program matches what I was hearing. And yes, they do indeed have pop/rock some nights. 73, NigelPatrick Martin wrote: Nigel, Radio Scotland was running pop/rock the night I heard them, IDing as Radio one, so they must use different nets at diffeent times..Unless radio one was something special that time.

In the mornings, we get 1170 from CC or KK or VOA Philippines cochannel to super strong KPUG. Now in the evenings, it's 810 KGO with cochannel Radio Scotland. As you noticed, no luck for a local ID at 05:00. Not even sure whether they're still the one's cochannel, but I suspect they are...a program about Montana's wolvesWalt. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] ULR West Coast TA Audio on 675, 693 (recorded)
Gary, 675 is probably Radio Maria Holland, as I have been trying to get a decent copy on them, but KBOI really causes a lot of QRN. 693 must have been the UK. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
