834 Belize was not a pest in the San Francisco Bay area.  I was lucky enough to 
verified 
them and have their QSL card framed on the wall next to Haiti 4VEH.

Ah, for one more chance to hear their distinctive sign-off, which included the

I remember hearing them often when living in Michigan in the 1970s and I
have one of their QSL cards.

Only tentative on Ecuador on splits, 995 rings a bell. I did hear Brazil on
1180 one Sunday morning during the WHAM SP but didn't send a report (wish I
did). Lots of Venezuelans and Colombians heard, Surinam too.

Too bad these digitally tuned radios put the split frequency stations onto

Colin and all,

It has been years since I heard/QSL'd Ecuador. I have I think two, 890
and 1070, if I remember correctly. The last one was 890 in the 80s.
   I remember 834/830, QSL'd both and that has been years too. The good
ol' days.

Re: [IRCA] Belize 834

[John Callarman]

The Ecuadorian QSLs in my collection came from stations on 995 and 805, the 
latter a DX test put on when Dave Gleason owned the station. His QSL letter to 
me has been on display on Dave's website. Best Brazilian QSL was from 980 
station, heard in July, in the mid '60s from Texas. Argentina and Peru heard 
but did not confirm reports. My favorite South American QSL was Radio Mendez, 
Bolivia, on 680 ... Larry Godwin and I were the first to hear this baby, he in 
Denver, me in Houston, in 1966. There was a brief window on Monday mornings 
after San Francisco signed off and before WAPA signed on ... Boston nulled in 
our direction and Mendez's distinctive native music was unmistakable. Early in 
1967, Gordon Nelson in Watertown, Mass,, was able to find a Monday morning when 
WRKO was off the air, and snared this one ... I listened to his tape and it was 
absolute. 

Those, amigos, were the days! What fun it would have been to have Perseus 
recordings of a few Monday mornings in 1964, 65 and 66.

No, not a pest. Belize was nice to hear on 834 in California, bringing Top 
Of The Pops from the BBC on Saturday nights in the 1960s.
I can only imagine what a huge signal it must have had in the southeastern 
U.S.
I was in Miami in 1979 but don't recal hearing it.

Have an audio recording and QSL from 1976.

Do not believe I have ever heard Ecuador on MW - that would be a catch now.

I also managed to log and QSL HCJB-690 during one of their monthly DX tests in 
January 1996.  Only "deep South American" I've EVER logged on MW (no Brazil, 
Chile, Peru, Argentina, etc.).  Venezuela was always hard enough, and 
Colombia's been virtually non-existent here in Missouri since the late 1990s or 
so.

Re: [IRCA] TP's for 08/26/10

[D1028Gary]

Hi Dennis,
 
Congratulations on your fine E100 Ultralight TP loggings from the Ocean  
Spray Beach Resort in Grayland. You certainly did a great job with the tiny  
radio, and the Space Magnet loop!
 
Our family also recently returned from an ocean beach trip to Lincoln City, 
 Oregon (August 20-22), during which the conditions mostly favored the DU  
stations, but with occasional Asiatic TP reception. From now on the DU's  
will probably get tougher to log, so it was nice to hear them with good  
strength one last time this season.
 
Thanks again for your Grayland TP-DX report, Dennis, and I hope you  
wouldn't mind if I re-post it on the Yahoo Ultralightdx list, where they  would 
be 
very interested in your E100 TP-DX loggings.
 
73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA)

Good Morning,

My wife told me Tuesday that  she wanted to go to Grayland for her birthday.
Grayland Motel and cottages  had no vacancies, we were able to get a cottage
at Ocean Spray Beach Resort  a mile North of Grayland Motel and cottages.
Staying in cottage #6, which  is closest to the ocean, about 300 yards.
Nice picnic area behind the  cottage with two picnic benches.  Have two 
radios,
Palstar R-30cc and  Eton E100. Antennas are two Space Magnet loops.  A lot 
of 
noise in  the cabin, so I DX outside on the picnic bench from 1256-1346  
utc.

639   UNKNOWN 1336 threshold audio TP  direction.
666   JAPAN, JOBK NHK1 1305 good with woman in  Japanese.
684   UNKNOWN 1335 threshold audio TP direction.

738   Tahiti, 1315 believed to be the station with  music and weak signal.
looped DU  direction.
828   JAPAN, JOBB 1258 weak // 774. Fair at  1331.
891   AUSTRALIA, 1330 man reading news? weak signal. 1338  man interviewing 
man in English fair signal.   5AN?
954   JAPAN, JOKR 1327 fair with Japanese.
1044   CHINA? 1312 very weak audio and a lot of splatter from  domestics.
1053  UNKNOWN, 1314 weak music heard.  No sign of  jammer, Looped TP

1134  CHINA, CRN1 1325 good with woman  in Chinese.

1593  CHINA?, CRN1  1316 weak with just bits of audio.  Looped TP.  

The above  heard on the Eton E100 and Space Magnet loop.  
We will be leaving on  Saturday.  I just read Patrick Martin's
comments on the poor  conditions this morning, hopefully conditions
will improve.  I tried  531 kHz a few times this morning and nothing 
heard.

Re: [IRCA] Belize 834

[Jim Renfrew]

Two Ecuador here, both verified:  HCJB 690 NRC Test, R. Catolica 880 (used 
to have a distinctive children's chorus at sign-on, or sign-off), and one 
other not verified, as I recall on 915, Ondas Orenses.


That's one more than the number of Belize logged 830 and 834.

Have an audio recording and QSL from 1976.

Do not believe I have ever heard Ecuador on MW - that would be a catch 
now.

Re: [IRCA] Russian on 1710

[vroomski]

Patrick & Steve,

Our local Russian station on 1710 kHz appears to be off the air.
On my 3 most recent visits to the East Vancouver area the station
has been off the air.  I have not heard the Seattle area Russian
station lately.

[IRCA] TP/DU DX 8/26

[Patrick Martin]

So far a rather poor morning on the North Coast. I still need to peak up
the SW EWE. The best this morning was 2PM-531 at around S7 on peaks.

5312PMAUSTRALIA, Port Macquirrie, fair to poor with non top
oldie pop music "Just When I needed You The Most" then "MoreMusic, More
Favorites" a spot for a Jewelery store, followed by some event in
Kempsey, then into "Dedicated To The One I love-Mamas and Papas) at
1223-1228 UTC 8/28. As usual no call letter ID, but enough to prety much
ID them.  I have ben hearing this station since the 1970s when they were
2KM (Kempsey) on 530 with 2 KW. Then in 1979 they moved to 531, in the
80s boosted to 5 KW directional and switched to 2MC (Mid Coast Radio),
then in to 90s going to 2PM (Port Macquarie). Hard to get a call ID out
of them these days, but at least there are times the spots give them
away. (PM-OR)

576/594   JAPAN, Both rather poor with what sounded like a JJ Play of
some kind at 1234 8/26. Woman in JJ. (PM-OR)

738TAHITI, fair with woman in FF at 1237 8/26. (PM-OR)

891JAPAN, Sendai  JOHK fair at peaks //594with what sounded like
play at 1243 8/26. Over unid which sounded like Sports, so probably
Australia. (PM-OR)

972   KOREA, fair with woman in KK at 1241 8/26, lots of 960 IBOC noise.
(PM-OR)

1053   KOREA, weak with man and woman in KK 1245 8/26. (PM-OR)

Nothing except a few hets on the Tecsun  PL-380. Tried to pull audio out
on 531, but could not quite make it.
