Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-19
Hi Walt, Thanks for your comments on 972-HLCA, 1593-CNR1, the 1053-Jammer and 603 kHz. Before this DX season started I wondered whether the declining solar conditions would allow for much Asiatic TP-DXing excitement-- but it seems like at least some of the Asiatics are pretty vibrant. The memorable 603-Hulun Buir fade-in 3 days ago was something completely unexpected in such an "off" season, as was 972-HLCA pegging the S/N readout on the PL-380 this morning. When the vibrant South Pacific DX signals on the Oregon cliffs this summer are added into the picture, it certainly seems to me that Medium Wave transoceanic DX is alive and well this year :-) 73, Gary -Original Message- From: Walter Salmaniw To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Sent: Wed, Sep 19, 2012 4:26 pm Subject: Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-19 Gary, I agree that HLCA 972 is doing particularly well this season. Last season's star had to be CNR-1 on 1593. This year, barely anything there, although the upper band hasn't really been very good lately.

Re: [IRCA] TP from Victoria for 18Sep2012: China plus
Did you check as to whether 873 could be North Korea Walt? They tend to what's heard here if not JOGB. Nick At 05:57 19-09-12, you wrote: OK, just went through about 3/4 of my wav files comprosing 12:57 to 13:37 UTC. A very nice balanced mix of many stations, predominantly the bottom half, but with a good representation from the upper half as well. China seemed to have done well, with the Japanese, perhaps a bit subdued, as were some of the Koreans. Australia was there, but not really strong. Up to 13:36, I really didn't see them improve. I heard them before 13:00, and past 13:30. It was China that seemed to enhance towards and past 13:30. Top signal this morning had to be CRI 1323 in Russian, probably // to 963. Great signal at 13:18, and again at 13:36. Really strong. I believe Vietnam made it through as well on 873 which was not JOGB at 13:13. Overall, I was quite pleased this morning. Many, many frequencies which were, as Nick calls them, "burbles in the splatter". A little stronger, with a little less domestic splatter, and they'd be easy pickins'. 940 from Hawaii, one of my favourites was booming in as well around 13:30. No time to list specifics. Suffice to say, a nice all around morning! 73,Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC ___ 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 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 TP/DUs for 19 Sep 2012
An all TP morning here in Alberta, with TPs in general doing a bit better than yesterday, with the top end showing a bit of life for a change. The only DU noted a weak signal on 891, presumed from Adelaide, as that one often makes it when no others do. Today's audio: 567 - JOIK, Japan, with fair audio at 1254 594 - JOAK, Japan, making in to audio through IBOC noise by 1240. 693 - JOAB, Japan, better this morning, nearly as good as 774 at 1240. 747 - JOIB, Japan, along with 774, just like yesterday, reaching audio by 1230. 774 - JOUB, Japan first reaching audio at 1230. 828 - JOBB, Japan, for some reason didn't get to audio until 1258. 873 - JOGB, Japan, at 1251. Not heard yesterday. 891 - Presumed ABC Adelaide, with traces after 1305. 972 - S.Korea, missing yesterday, but today heard weakly through the splatter at 1242, and up to 100% copy by 1252. 1017- In Korean at 1248, so likely China with CRI. 1188 - JOKP, Japan, with talk by a man at 1240. 1206 - Weak audio, with talk by a woman at 1238. Presumably China given the slightly low frequency. 1287 - JOHR, Japan, noted with a solid signal at 1250. 1566 - HLAZ, Korea, unheard yesterday, but today fair just after 1230. 1575 - Once again, just traces of audio from presumed VOA at 1245 1593 - Japan, only bits of audio, but enough to determine an NHK2 parallel. 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

As we near the end of Sept, SSS DX opportunities should improve dramatically noting that sunset on 9/30 in the norther USA will be about 20 minutes later than tonight, meaning that target stns will be on day power and patterns when nearly in full darkness making it much more likely that a good skip signal from them can get out.

Walter Salmaniw noted: " 940 from Hawaii, one of my favorites was booming in as well around 13:30. " Considering that I have been looking for a regular Hawaiian here in Victoria - and not heard one since the 1970's! - this is one I will chase! Thanks Walter - -- Colin Newell - Victoria B.C.
