[IRCA] Radio Maria 690 - Guatemala?

[Chernos Saul]

Sorry about that last blank post. Itchy trigger finger.

 

I've been sitting on 690 much of the night tonight, trying to navigate the 
Spanish dominating the channel on pretty well all my wires. Cuba's Progreso in 
there //640, and at least one unID from Mexico. But intriguing the last hour 
has been a couple mentions of Maria, and soft Spanish talk that could be 
religious. I've actually been working and checking the band every so often, 
runningvtapes when it's at a decent level. I diddn't have the recorder running, 
because the TOH was nothing but WLW IBOC, but about a minute later a station 
came in the clear and I heard a faoirly nice "Radio Maria" ID. My 2009 WRTH 
lists one in Guatemala. I don't yet know if there are other candidates. I can't 
say when I last heard this country. Does Radio maria on 690 get out much?

 

WELD WV is running all night, and there's an EE sports talk station mixing in.

 

Yorkton SA and Greenville PA dominating 940, with some Spanish, likely either 
of the Cuban or Mexican powerhouses, or both, not too much time spent there.

[IRCA] John Bryant

[Chernos Saul]

I share the heartbreak expressed so eloquently here. I never met John, but he 
did stand out from the pack in many respects - you could tell from the quality 
of his posts.

 

I saved his article from - I think - Monitoring Times, where he wrote about his 
DX from and visit to Easter Island. A remarkable story. My favourite part was 
not about the DX but the wild horses checking him out, scant inches away from 
the vehicle window. But, of course, he reported on the wonderful DX he had 
there, and how different things came in depending on the hour. Inspiring, 
indeed, for someone like me who lacks relative experience. Indeed, one reason I 
clipped John's article is because, one day, I can see making a trip similar to 
that. That article is perhaps the only documentation of DXing from that 
isolated spot, and so it will stay in my 'DXpeditions' file. If I ever do make 
it to Easter Island, John will be in my thoughts.

 

Reading the posts here tonight, I can tell he had an accomplished life, and 
there were many who respected and loved him, and will miss him. My thoughts are 
with his family and his many close friends.

 

Saul

Re: [IRCA] John Bryant remembered

[vroomski]

I'm so very sad to hear of John's passing. A few months back, he sent me an 
e-mail because I hadn't been posting -- he wanted to know if everything was 
okay. It was,I told him, I was just taking a break from the dials.  Then a few 
years before that, out of the blue, he sent me a wealth of information about TP 
DXing. It was sorely needed as I'd been away from the hobby for so long. I 
can't say I knew John as well as those of you who are posting so eloquently 
here in his memory. But I can say that his steady presence in the club made a 
difference to me...just as it has to you. Thanks John for your hard work in 
promoting our MW Dxing hobby. I'll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

John was a man that loved life. He did what he wanted to and enjoyed it.
His DXpeditions are priceless. How many DXers out there make to to
Easter Island? Even though he left us all to soon, his legacy will live
on.  I have several of his Precedings that were printed in the 80s &

Just opened a 25 year old bottle of Scotch.
Have been looking at it for some time.
And the time was right - to toast a man who
left us all way to soon.

I share the thoughts, grief and pain of those
he loved, those he shared his life with,
his family and friends.

John's reportage was as integral to the hobby
and our environment as the very components that
made up our hobby; the Earth, wind, and sky...

And now part of our hobby is gone.

We move forward even though today we feel 
an irreparable loss.

Thoughts and prayers to you John.

No one can, Nick. A really wonderful warm considerate person, and one of
the great DXers. The stuff he heard.. Wow!
He sure will be missed. Just think, I got an e mail from him a few weeks
ago, saying, he would be at the 2010 Seaside convention. I remember in
2006 when he organized the talk sessons at the convention. One amazing
man.

Shocking news.  His accomplishments were many and varied.  Former head 
of the OSU School of Architecture, co-writer of three books on Zenith 
radios and one on the history of Newport News, VA.  He was a big part 
of the Corazon DX e-mail list, and, of course, helped spearhead the 
Ultralight Receiver movement two years ago.  DXed for two weeks in 
lonely Easter Island year before last.  RIP.

Colin, Nick, Gary and all,

It is indeed a rough night for all of us. I just came online a bit ago
and I am shocked by John's death.  I remember all of the times I visited
with John at Grayland and when he stopped by the house with his wife. We
talked hours about antennas, DX, and QSLs.  I just came from the DX Room
where I have the MW550P proudly sitting there that I bought from John a
few years back. What a terrible loss. It is rough to even type this, and
it is going to be rough night sleeping too.

[Nigel Pimblett]

   As others have said, and much more eloquently than I could, this is 
indeed a sad day for the DX world.   Our small community can ill-afford 
the loss of someone who contributed so much..   I only had the pleasure 
of meeting John the one time, at the Seaside convention, but we'd 
exchanged numerous e-mails, and as has been noted John was always most 
willing to share his wealth of knowledge.  He is gone from us much too 
soon, but he most certainly lived his time to the fullest, getting the 
most from the hobby, and from life in general.

Besides what others mentioned yesterday, the WA Dept of Transportation 
has a couple of portable 10 watt transmitters on 1520.  They're used to 
broadcast information about highway construction projects in the Puget 
Sound area, and move from project to project as needs change.  I heard 
one of them mixing with the Portland station tonight while driving home 
from work but I couldn't catch anything specific

[John Callarman]

Please excuse the four-list posting ... I just arrived home from a high school 
basketball game to learn of the death of John Bryant. There are no words to 
express my shock and anguish at the loss of a giant in the DX game ... as well 
as a giant in the field of architectural education. I first met John at his 
parents' home in Stillwater when he was still in high school, and valued his 
technical expertise and his willingness to share his knowledge with all of us. 
Added to the loss of two of our best friends here in Krum, this past week has 
turned into the most sorrowful in my memory.

Re: [IRCA] John Bryant

[Guy Atkins]

This has been a sad and shocking day for many of us, as Gary has written so
eloquently. My friendship with John spanned 24 years, and I have so many
fond memories of Grayland DXpeditions and other get-togethers with him. So
much of what I've learned about the finer points of DXing techniques,
propagation, radio modding, etc. was a result of John's free and
enthusiastic sharing of his knowledge.

John's leaving us so suddenly has impacted my whole family. We spent many
wonderful summer weekends over the years visiting John and Linda at their
Orcas Island property, or hosting them at our Puyallup home during their
travels between Washington and Oklahoma.

Like Gary I'm still in shock over this news. Please remember John's wife
Linda and daughter Mary Ellen and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

I'm not sure I can add anything to Colin's and Gary's words. I had the 
privilege of knowing John for somewhat longer,  to well over 20 years ago, when 
a Sunday afternoon phone call  came out of the blue, asking about details on a 
Beverage matching transformer that had been publicized in DX Monitor.   He took 
that ball and ran with it, writing a big article about his adventures with 
it.and ever since, he had been trying new things, sharing his findings in 
many articles in the club bulletins, and then on the Internet, organizing 
DXpeditions, the Proceedings of fine tuning, a least a couple of specialist 
Yahoo groups, and just generally being a spark plug for the hobby.

I don't think that anyone can replace him.

[IRCA] John Bryant remembered

[cafe]

Just got the news from one of my brothers, Walter Salmaniw -
who was barely consolable.

This is, indeed, a loss that we cannot measure, that
we cannot comprehend - losing a big man... a smart man.

A heart bigger than most radios.

Who, alone, made some of the most significant contributions
to the betterment of the radio hobby.

I had coffee with John a few years back - and one had the 
sense that he was a born leader - with so much to give...
and to quote Walter, "I expected another 20 years of John..."

Let us gather, alone, in groups large and small
and raise the glass of our choice - a toast...

To our friend John Bryant.

And hope - that his journey was swift - and pain free
and that the DX where he is now is half as good as he
made it here.

God speed John Bryant.

[IRCA] John Bryant

[D1028Gary]

 
 
 
 
Hello All,
 
The unpleasant news of John's sudden passing comes as a deep personal  
shock to both Guy Atkins and me, since we both knew him very closely, and  have 
enjoyed years of his close friendship and guidance. This has included  joint 
DXpeditions, joint technical projects, article drafting partnership, etc.  
Although Guy certainly enjoyed a much longer friendship with  John, during 
the past two years John and I had become very close in our  cooperative 
partnership to found, organize, promote and direct the Ultralight  Radio 
segment 
of the AM-DXing hobby.
 
John had a natural talent for organization, something that a wildly  
enthusiastic (but extremely diverse) ULR enthusiast group desperately needed in 
 
late 2007. Our small group was definitely outside of the "mainstream" of the  
AM-DXing community at the time, and many of the established DXers viewed us 
with  a high degree of skepticism-- doubting even the concept of serious 
DXing with  pocket radios. To John's credit, although he was certainly one of 
the  "established DXers," he kept an open mind about our enthusiastic 
movement,  and discovered (like most of us) that Ultralight Radio DXing was 
indeed 
 thrilling... thrilling enough to rejuvenate his interest in the hobby  
itself.
 
Freely donating his superb organizational talent to the Ultralight Radio  
cause, John was instrumental in the creation of the Definitions Committee,  
Awards Committee and Contest Committee. When the Yahoo Ultralightdx group was 
 founded in early 2008, John's expertise and experience were essential in  
establishing the vibrant and fast-growing forum that we enjoy today. John 
and I  constantly shared ideas about the challenges facing the Ultralight  
Radio movement, such as the impending exhaustion of file space on the  booming 
Ultralightdx site. Although we occasionally had our differences of  opinion, 
we enjoyed a very deep level of mutual respect, based upon our  cooperative 
success (along with many others) in building up this vibrant  sub-group of 
the AM-DXing hobby. Ironically John had recently made the decision  to 
become a full-time resident of Washington state, and both Guy and I were  
looking 
forward to spending more time with him.
 
There isn't much more to write at this point, since like Guy I am still in  
a state of shock over this very unpleasant news. Please join us in  
expressing your condolences to his family, when the details of the ceremony are 
 
posted.
 
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA)

To my DXplorer friends--

It is my sad duty to inform you that yesterday John Bryant fell from a
ladder and received injuries that resulted in his death this morning. As
you are, I am shocked--John was not only one of my best friends but also
a writing partner and travel buddy. As I find out details on
arrangements I will keep you posted. Please raise a glass to John--we
have all lost a valued friend and colleague.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 9 Feb

[Nigel Pimblett]

 Not a bad morning, with some evidence of China, which has been totally 
lacking for the past month.  Audio noted from:


567 Japan
594 Japan
648 woman in Chinese, presumably Voice of Russia
693 Japan
738 man talking @1440, too weak to determine language
747 Japan (the best signal today)
774 Japan
828 Japan
873 Japan
972 Korea
981 CNR1 China
1134 Korea
1287 the slightest of audio traces
1476 woman speaking, short bits of classical music.  Sounded Chinese, 
but too weak to be certain.

1575 faint traces of presumed VOA Thailand

Conditions might be good in the east but not so good in the west anymore.At 
3:30 PST I was only able to get a handfull of the big ones like KFBK 1530 and 
KGDD 1520 and a few weak signals mostly at the top end.A definite diminished 
detection of daytime DX signals.Bill in BC

Re: [IRCA] 1040 Khz - het back again

[Brett Saylor]

I am picking it up on the same NW/SE bearing as before. It's also showing
the same quick fall/slow rise and wobbly characteristics as last time:

http://www.radiodxing.com/images/1040_2-9-2010.jpg

I can't seem to get any modulation from it; it's at equal carrier strength
to WHO but doesn't appear to be putting much, if any, audio out.

KDDR along with ND stns on 1600 and the eastern ND one on 1490 make up the 
Dakota Country network. KDDR has good local HS sports event coverage some 
evenings and on fall Friday nights carries Oakes Tornados HSFB. By the time 
you're hearing them overnight in OR they are running their usual C&W.  73 KAZ

Apparently the principle of reciprocity still works, as I almost posted a 
message entitled "Good western conditions" last night, just before hitting 
the sack.

Among the notable signals from the west (or southwest) was that of 690 KTSM 
in El Paso TX.  I've heard them a number of times since the demise of CINF, 
but last night they were really strong, rivalling the omnipresent Cuban 
station.  Isn't anyone else in the northeast hearing these guys?

Also noted: 660 CFFR Calgary with WFAN nulled, and a surprise appearance by 
910 KCJB in Minot ND.  However, reciprocity sadly breaks down on most of the 
regional channels, which are densely populated in the east.  I've tried in 
vain many times for KOTA, but no dice... CKPT is a particular problem here on 
1380.

I noticed it last night, around 2300 EST.  It was quite strong here, but 
thanks to WBZ's IBOC crud, it wasn't possible to tell whether there was any 
modulation on the carrier.

[IRCA] TP for 9 Feb from Victoria, BC

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Not as much time to listen this morning, so just some brief sessions at 1410,
1445 and 1520UTC. Quite a lot of activity, but mostly erratic, and none of it
very strong.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
briefly):

none




reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):

279 R. Rossii
594 JOAK
774 JOUB
828 JOBB




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be
understood by a native speaker

603 mx at 1451, HLSA?
639 CNR-1 //4460
747 JOIB
936 CC talk by woman, presumed Anhui
972 presumed HLCA




Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by
cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) :

558 mx later on, but 603 not available for //
567 JOIK //594
675
702 seemed //774, so NHK2; hum there also from N. Korea?
837
864, good carrier strength
1134 mx not //972 or 4460, so most likely JOQR
1287 JOHR?
1503 JOUK //594
1566 big carrier, weak talk
1575 VoA?




Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):

1098 from Marshall Is. per DF, 1476



best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] Good eastern conditions

[neilkaz]

I did extensive listening this fall using a NW Phased BOG System. At night on 
1220 is a mix of KDDR and CJRB with some KLBB also in there at time. I do think 
that KDDR leaves day power on into the evening for local sports,
as they can be really dominant then and clearly better than at other times at 
night, however, I am not able to prove it nor am I accusing them and note that 
there's not a huge difference between 1000 watts and 327.

[Patrick Martin]

Nigel,

I think KDDR is something like 327 watts, at night, which is still more
than the old 250w the old graveyrders used to have, so it is not really
flea power. You aren't all that far from Oakes ND. I remember well in
the 70s, often a 250w in ID or Western MT would easily block a GY
channel. With 1 KW, it is even worse today.  CJRB I heard on occasion,
but they must put little signal this way. There are so many possible
good DX on 1220 here. It will be a shame when Palo Alto CA boosts to 50
KW.  Enjoy it while we can.

73,

Patrick

I'm hearing the 1040 het hear in SW PA again -- in daytime, just as before.
Strength/direction is consistent with WJTB.

Nigel,

Those are some *nice* loggings!  Congrats!  Wonder if your Perseus setup
will have any luck with the stations in the East and Midwest that sign
on at 0600 EST / 1100 UTC?

   With the lack of TA action over the past month I've been focusing 
more on North American DX, and have been using the Wellbrook array to 
the east lately, with the Perseus recording on the hour overnight..   
Most nights have only yielded the regulars, but last night proved to be 
a winner, as I caught four new ones:

1370 WSPD Toledo, OH
1380 WKJG Fort Wayne, IN
1420 KBTN Neosho, MO
1430 KZQZ St. Louis, MO

Hearing WKJG through KOTA was especially surprising.  Also noted a 
couple of others that are not new, but certainly rare: WARF 135O  Akron,

OH and  WROK 1440 Rockford, IL.

Re: [IRCA] Good eastern conditions

[Nigel Pimblett]

Last night wasn't as good - at least not here.   Yes, 1220 is a good 
freq for you.   At one time I heard more there, but this winter it seems 
to be blocked by KDDR 95% of the time, making me wonder if they're 
really powering down at night, or if they're just gettting out very 
well.   When listening in central Alberta it's CJRB that predominates, 
so apparently CJRB's mull protecting the defunct Lethbridge station is 
still working properly.
