Re: [IRCA] 1040 Van BC
The FCC site shows the regular coverage map and the new ones, but the new ones look the same as the old ones, but 1040 is weaker here at night now. CFUN 1410 on the otherhand shows the same pattern day night and in the past it was different at night, but it looks like they may be using the night one all of the time. 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
[IRCA] TPs from Orcas Island: Nov. 27
Well, if this isn't the beginning of the dreaded Mid-Winter Anomaly, it is certainly a great imitation of it! Conditions were down, even from yesterday's poor showing. The only non-murmur above 972 was VOA 1575 and it wasn't all that wonderful. Below 972, there were a few of the biggest JJ guns in something like decent audio and quite a few murmurs of other big giuns. If I was used to swapping over to domestic DXing out here, now is when I'd swap. Gee, if things were booming in, I'd find it much harder to head for Oklahoma. As it is.

[IRCA] TP for 27 Nov from Victoria, BC
Not a morning to remember... two listening sessions, one at 1450UT and one at 1520UT. The latter had more action, but still pretty poor; most on the sunrise enhancement seemed due to the falling off of domestic splatter.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-27...
Hello All, This morning's TP session would have been a clunker in October, but for late November, it was probably the best one could hope for. Signals were improved over yesterday (but that's not saying much). 594-JOAK was heard mixing with the UnID Chinese co-channel at 1510, the first time the 594 kHz Chinese has been heard here in late November: _http://www.mediafire.com/?dxhguvjwyjy_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?dxhguvjwyjy) 657-Pyongyang had a pretty strong warbling carrier from 1515-1530, with no detectable audio (maybe that's not such a bad thing). 675-Vietnam also had a decent signal (with audio) around this time, but no weak co-channels could be heard because of the domestic splatter from 670 and 680 kHz. As usual recently the high band was practically dead, with only two wispy carriers from 1566 and 1575 during the entire 1510-1540 UTC monitoring period. The usual low-band powerhouses like 603-HLSA and 639-CNR1 were practically silent, and even JOIB-747 had difficulty staying in audio. So in general the band seemed to be in transition to the winter doldrums, with a few isolated surprises. 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP (7.5 Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 9' and 6' (side) PVC tuned passive loops (in the calm 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

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 27 Nov
When I first checked things sounded awfully poor, so I checked my antenna and found a switch in the wrong position. I fixed that and things improved - but only slightly. Wound up hearing audio on 594, 747, and 774, but that was it.Elsewhere it was only carriers, and not terribly impressive ones at that. Even 972 was doing very little. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, 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
