[IRCA] evening TAs
Well, yes, there were some, but pretty faint audio at best, fading up from time to time on 1215, 1377, 1323, and 855. Other than that a number of weak carriers. The 160m beacon is back on now, though I'm not too hopeful that the decayed European conditions will let it through. 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

Nick, At 0616 it is coming in very nicely. Some fades, but pretty stable off SW EWE. A bit better than the NW/NE EWE. The SW EWE in longer though.

Re: [IRCA] 160m beacon - Second segment
With the Kenwood TS-930 and 80M inverted-L the signal was anywhere between S0 and S3. With the Icom R-75 and Ratzlaff active whip, there was still QSB, but the signal was always audible and peaking at S5. Wow, dramatic jump at 0602 just as I'm typing typing this.

[IRCA] Bottom Heavy TPs from Orcas Island
Bill Brock mentioned that it was a strange morning, with only the low stuff working, but that pretty good. Same here. The bottom half of the band was almost 100% audio sometime during dawn enhancement; the top half was about as bad as I've seen it in the last two months. Further, only the lowest 25% from 828 on down had anything above language recognition level. However, that lower 25% was doing FINE. The run from 531 thru 639 was universally in the 8s and 9s... the strongest that I've ever heard that run together. The nicest thing was I heard a new station at least new to my Heard-but-not-QSLed list that I'm constructing this year: 630-CNR2 dominating the Seattle station and KJNO in Juneau. The Chinese was actually stronger than the very strong 6155 parallel during part of the morning at 1400. In fact all of the hyper-strong activity was noted in early runs before 1420UTC. 639 was quite strong as CNR1 as was 756. The lower Koreans were doing very well, too. So, very frequency-dependent and only the lowest part of the band, but a new station is ALWAYS a reason to celebrate!

[IRCA] new logging on 1370
First, I tried again to pull in WXXI, and at 6:29 pm local time (Wednesday Oct. 21) I heard news that had that NPR feel to it, with thanks to several sponsors, the name Renee Montagne (spelling???), and finally the WXXI station ID right at 6:30. Not new, but infrequent, and first time at sunset. This morning at 8:00 am, while the car radio was still on the same frequency, I heard some talk radio, and at TOH was station ID WGOH. Turns out, they are a 5KW daytime station in Grayson KY, with a bearing of 176.9° and distance of 300 miles (approx). I'll have to check my logbook, but I'm quite sure this is new. Lastly, someone is running a mystery station, as I have heard some popular music, so I'll go back again tonight, and try again. 73 de Joe, KJ8O, Troy, Michigan ___ 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] Off the grid - A tribute to IRCA
On Monday evening, of this week, I was perusing the IRCA reprints from the the mid-seventies and started writing a bit of a tribute to the solidarity, brotherhood and sisterhood of the radio hobby - how it has changed my life and engendered and fostered lasting friendships. (And then)Around 8PM my phone rang and I was summoned to a local hospital to be with a dear family member (my mother-in-law) who succumbed to a long and exhausting illness. In the end, she went quickly and peacefully - something we could only wish for and hopefully achieve in our own personal journey through life. What is kind of ironic were my thoughts leading up to that evening on something as simple as a subscription to a hand-printed newsletter from the seventies and how, by chance, I requested a free sample so many years ago - that so many lasting friendships have been cast and hewn by the fires of time and have resisted every challenge - including death. My thanks go out immediately to the local group of DXers and enthusiasts who immediately joined hands with me that evening - and now to the rest of you, whose brotherhood and sisterhood grows stronger. One of the last things my mother-in-law said to me was... You make sure that you take your wife to Hawaii... We booked the vacation condo over a year ago and there was much doubt that we would make that trip scheduled for November. Everyone is saying the same thing... Go! It is what she would have wanted you to do... Best wishes, hugs and handshakes to all. -- ..

I've heard both Vatican Radio and Sao Tome et Principe on 1530, by carefully tweaking things to get channel dominant WCKY out of the way... but, like 810 out west, 1530 here is an unusually clear channel if you can get past that one major occupant. However, most of the clear channels around here are anything but. You peel away the dominant station, only to reveal more domestic stuff, or Cubans, or whatever, covering up possible TAs. A particular problem here on 810 is CJVA, who, I don't mind saying, are cheating like bandits at night, and have been for years. PS: Now IBOC, that's another problem, and unfortunately it will ruin a good chunk of spectrum. You bet - channels ruined here number in the dozens!

[IRCA] TP for 22 Oct from Victoria, BC
Had to go to work this morning, so the truncated listening matched the truncated conditions. But John B.'s observation concerning the dominance of the lower band held true here also. The only one in the winner's circle this morning that wasn't one of the NHK powerhouses was, of all stations, 558 HLQH // to a slightly weaker HLCA-603 just before 1420UT. There must have been a bit of a lean towards Korea as 711 was also heard quite well, presumed HLKA, but with something weaker underneath. 711 is normally not one of the stellar TP channels here. 567 was also a mix of two stations at times, though wasn't able to snag whatever wasn't JOIK. So, a little closer to normal TP conditions, but not entirely so. 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

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-22... DX Dropoff
Hello All, There was a definite downturn this morning in TP signal strength here, especially on the mid-band frequencies like 1107, 1134, 1143 and 1170. Whereas for the past week 1170 kHz had KBS and the Chinese station seriously competing with KPUG (and the Indian-language KLOK), this morning KBS was way down in strength, and the Chinese station was gone. I checked 594 and 828 for the co-channel TP's reported by many DXers under the NHK stations, but apparently these co-channels don't like mediocre conditions. Today's sunrise enhancement sure didn't have much strength, and the only interesting thing was on 540 kHz, which had a medium-strength Russian-language station competing with CBK (maybe Radio Mayak?). Can't complain about the October conditions in general, though. The new 9' box loop has received 18 new TP's (and 2 new TA's) since being set up on October 3rd, and has temporarily even made me forget about going to Grayland :-) 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP ultralight (7.5 Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 9' PVC-framed tuned passive loop (in the back yard) ___ 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
