Another improvement here this morning, with several Chinese and good signals from Russia on LW and MW.

Re: [IRCA] no more am
Robbie, Thank you for the great story. You didn’t say how old you were, but I know that at age 48, I still get a thrill from hearing distant stations on the AM band. I’m always amazed at how many people don’t even know it’s possible to hear stations from far away. During Katrina, we had some evacuees staying with neighbors down the street. As the storm moved on-shore, they were all eager for news about their neighborhoods. I remember all of them being amazed when I explained that they could simply tune into WWL on 870 using their car radios and hear it clear as a bell. After a day or two, one of them walked down the street and wanted to know why it could only receive the signal at night. I explained it as best I could it layman’s terms. I then invited him into the shack, and turned my AOR loop towards New Orleans, and tuned the Drake R8B to 870. There was WWL, clear as a bell in early afternoon. He was amazed, and sat there listening for almost three hours. I too think we’ve lost something along the way. Hulu is great for catching that episode of “Hawaii 5-0” that you missed, but it will never compare to receiving a TV station from Colorado in the middle of June. 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF EM63nf Les Rayburn, Director High Noon Film 130 1st Avenue West Alabaster, AL 35007-8536 (205) 621-7500 (205) 621-7505 FAX (205) 253-4867 CELL http://www.highnoonfilm.com From: Robbie j.

Re: [IRCA] no more am
Les/Robbie, Here, in the land of the WORLD CHAMPION SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (can you tell I'm happy and proud), if I mention my hobby to someone, they immediately shrug their shoulders and say I can get that on the internet. I don't think most younger people have the interest to listen to anything that doesn't immediately fit their taste, doesn't have the audio quality they want (intestine-bashing bass), or requires them to use something other than their computer/iPod/Smart Phone to access it. If you're older, you have more of a base in the pre-internet days. Things learned in younger days make more of an impact than things learned later (generally). I can remember information that young people can't figure out how to look up. I can do math in my head that they can't find a key for on their computer-based calculator. And the bottom line is they don't care. We are dinosaurs, but when there's an emergency, we may/can become gods...at least for the duration of the emergency. Proving that I'm a dinosaur, I rode a train up to San Francisco on Tuesday. The last time I rode a train was on the day that the Giants played a 23-inning game against the Mets.in 1964. If I remember, the Giants won 8-6. And Monday night, I was so happy that I cried. The championship finally came to San Francisco.

Re: [IRCA] no more am
A couple of thoughts - I have two sons, in their early 30's, both of whom were in varying degrees exposed to AM DX, but it didn't take. Computers and internet were always more interesting to them, as were pm3 players, CD's etc. FM is alo always a very viable alternative or supplement to AM DX'ing, and I heartily recommend it.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-4
Hello All, In a pretty remarkable comeback, what had been a thoroughly mediocre band prior to 1420 suddenly came to life with a strong sunrise enhancement from 1425-1450, boosting several Asian mainland stations up to their best audio of the Fall Season. The listening session started of at 1300 with the TP big guns at their usual anemic level, struggling to produce much audio through the noise and domestic splatter. Unusually, there was no mid-session propagation dive or boost, and the same collection of Asian regulars (594, 648, 657, 738, 747, 774, 972, 1134, 1566 and 1575) were still fading in and out with lackluster signals right up until 1420. It appeared that another mediocre late-season session was about to wrap up. Suddenly, 972-HLCA faded in strongly at 1430, along with a pesky Chinese co-channel. 738-BEL2 also rose up to be heard, with audio near its best of the season. 639-CNR1 and 675-Vietnam soon followed, with the latter having its strongest signal since September. Finally around 1350, the Chinese YL speech from 936-Anhui provided that station's best signal of the season. The Japanese NHK stations had a moderate signal boost during this period, but it was nothing like the weird propagation surge from China. Unfortunately it was necessary to wrap things up around 1455 when the Chinese were still strong, so there was no chance to check the other notable Mainland frequencies like 756, 927, 945, 981, 1035, 1377 and 1593. Maybe one of the SDR DXers also noticed the late-session China surge from 1430-1445, when reviewing recordings from that period this morning? The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5 loopstick) and stock Tecsun PL-606 DSP model, inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the back yard).

Gary hit the nail on the head concerning sunrise enhancement this morning, though I don't think I can claim to hear the some of the stations that he did...VoR-648, VoV-675, Taiwan Fisheries-738 are usually conspicuous by their absence herebut hearing the Chinese on 1593 at 1500UT, well that was nice after all this time, even if it was weak; actually there were quite a lot of weak ones. But...getting up early (started listening at 1230, then back at 1330), sure didn't pay off in comparison pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 828 JOBB at 1455UT 972 HLCA, murky audio at 1430UT, and later reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK at 1432 747 JOIB at 1339 and 1440UT 1566 HLAZ 1330UT, during JJ program not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 774 JOUB 1017 CRI woman talking //5965 at 1436UT, best on North Flag 1287 JOHR likely, but only after 1435UT 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) : 153 likely R.

Re: [IRCA] TP for 4 Nov from Victoria, BC.
Unfortunately, I wasn't listening after 14:00, but I did record several mornings for 5 minutes around 12:00, 13:00 and 14:00. Overall, pretty dismal with very little to hear. On the 3rd and 4th, I did hear 594, 621, 639, and 774. On the 2nd, I heard the same, plus 657, 180, 189, and 279. All at 7 level at best, and mostly at 6. Not much to write home about. That's for sure! ..Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC. - Original Message - From: Nick Hall-Patch n...@ieee.org Date: Friday, November 5, 2010 5:20 Subject: [IRCA] TP for 4 Nov from Victoria, BC. To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Gary hit the nail on the head concerning sunrise enhancement this morning, though I don't think I can claim to hear the some of the stations that he did...VoR-648, VoV-675, Taiwan Fisheries- 738 are usually conspicuous by their absence herebut hearing the Chinese on 1593 at 1500UT, well that was nice after all this time, even if it was weak; actually there were quite a lot of weak ones. But...getting up early (started listening at 1230, then back at 1330), sure didn't pay off in comparison pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 828 JOBB at 1455UT 972 HLCA, murky audio at 1430UT, and later reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK at 1432 747 JOIB at 1339 and 1440UT 1566 HLAZ 1330UT, during JJ program not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 774 JOUB 1017 CRI woman talking //5965 at 1436UT, best on North Flag 1287 JOHR likely, but only after 1435UT 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) : 153 likely R.
