[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-21

2012-09-21 Thread d1028gary







Hello All,

 Fairly normal Asiatic conditions returned here this morning, and as a result, 
738-Tahiti audio was long gone. The Japanese big guns were still down a little 
in strength, but the Korean big guns (on 972, 1053 and 1566 kHz) were vibrant 
indeed, and had the best TP signals of the morning. There was fair reception of 
the Chinese big guns on 603, 639, 936 and 1044 kHz (although below their 
typical signal levels) and also 738-BEL2 in Taiwan. At 1313 UTC I apparently 
heard the same 1566-HLAZ fade-in that Dennis noticed at 1314, and was able to 
make a recording of the Korean FEBC station's Japanese Christian drama program.

[IRCA] 1279 off-frequency mystery

2012-09-21 Thread Glenn Hauser
UNIDENTIFIED. 1279, Sept 21 at 0537 UT, once again for third time a weak 
off-frequency carrier making a 1-kHz het with 1280 stations. Loops NE/SW. I`ve 
yet to see any other reports of this. Based solely on approx. direxion, 
proximity, some possibilities:

WBIG Aurora IL
WGBF Evansville IN
KCOB Newton IA
WFYC Alma MI
WWTC Minneapolis MN
KDKD Clinton MO
KYRO Troy MO
WONW Defiance OH
KSLI Abilene TX
KMFR Pearsall TX
WGLR Lancaster WI
WNAM Neenah-Menasha WI
CFMB Montreal QC [far, but 50 kW]
XEBQ Chihuahua Chih

If not at night when I hear this, people within daytime range could check these 
out. Of course it could also be one of those top-secret US government tests. 
It`s not my semi-local KSOK Ark City KS, confirmed at 1525 UT Sept 21 as 
on-frequency (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Details will have to wait for this evening, but Asiatic conditions were still
down here except for about a 10 minute enhancement around 1345UT when several
Chinese made an appearance, just about when I'd given up hope.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-21 a Victoria perspective

2012-09-21 Thread Walter Salmaniw
As often the case, no time for a detailed report, but I confirm Gary's
findings for Victoria, BC.  No sign virtually of any DU activity,
except a weak 891.  Otherwise the Asiatic big guns were all there,
often with very nice signal strength.  Once again 1323 CRI Russian was
present often with very nice signal strength, virtually on-par with
the JJ big guys on 594, 747, especially 774, and 828.  HLAZ back at
good levels on 1566.  Top to bottom, signals all over.  A very decent
Asiatic TP morning.  73,  Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1520 Fox Sports Radio

2012-09-21 Thread Rick Dau
As Paul pointed out, it's a recent (in this case, VERY recent, as in within the 
past few days) format change.  KOLM remains ESPN, but the mystery station you 
may now be hearing with Fox Sports Radio is KSIB in Creston, Iowa.  This per 
monitoring by myself throughout the day today.  They carry Jim Rome live from 
11-2 CLT, among other programming. 
 
I guess the question I have to ask is...WHY?   Des Moines, some 50 miles 
away, already has a Fox affiliate on 1460.  And in the meantime, the residents 
of the community of Creston are now being deprived of a station that will 
provide local service to that community (I don't know if any format changes 
have taken place at the sister FM on 101.3, since I can't normally get it 
here).

[IRCA] Alberta TP/DUs for 21 Sep 2012

2012-09-21 Thread Nigel Pimblett
Well, things may have rebounded on the coast, but not so here in 
southern Alberta.  If anything, things were even worse than yesterday, 
with only the faintest of audio on 891 from one of the Aussies, and 
equally faint audio from Tahiti on 738.  Zilch from Asia, with even 774 
having only a feeble carrier.Not entirely surprising, as I've noted 
in past years things tend to take longer to recover here than on the coast.

 As Paul pointed out, it's a recent
 (in this case, VERY recent, as in within the past few days)
 format change.  KOLM remains ESPN, but the mystery station
 you may now be hearing with Fox Sports Radio is KSIB in
 Creston, Iowa.  This per monitoring by myself throughout
 the day today.  They carry Jim Rome live from 11-2 CLT,
 among other programming. 
  
 I guess the question I have to ask is...WHY?   Des Moines,
 some 50 miles away, already has a Fox affiliate on 1460. 
 And in the meantime, the residents of the community of
 Creston are now being deprived of a station that will
 provide local service to that community (I don't know if any
 format changes have taken place at the sister FM on 101.3,
 since I can't normally get it here).

[IRCA] TP Sept 22, 2012 / Victoria version

2012-09-21 Thread Nick Hall-Patch


Unlike Walt, I didn't think Asiatic conditions had really recovered, 
especially when I started listening at 1300UT,  and gave up fairly 
quickly.  Started again just before 1330UT, and still wasn't too 
impressed, but there was a very nice little enhancement around 1345UT 
which made up for it.



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

747 JOIB got up to this level with CC lessons 1341UT
774 JOUB finally got up to this level at 1339UT w/man speaking JJ
1566 HLAZ 1334 woman in JJ; nothing like this level earlier


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

972 HLCA woman in KK at 1332UT
1017 CRI presumed KK talk by woman 1345UT
1323 CRI presumed; oriental stringed mx then woman in RR at 1334UT


not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be

understood by a native speaker:

567 JOIK man in JJ 1339UT, 594 not audible at this time
828 JOBB EE lessons at 1329UT
1287 JJ talk by man 1303UT


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) :

936 Anhui?  CC inflected talk by woman1346UT
945 CNR1 man and woman in CC //6125 at 1347UT
981 traces of talk by woman seemed //6125, if so CNR1
1188 woman talking 1329UT, JJ cadence to it
1593 CNR1 woman talking //6125 at 1343; first time this season

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

837 891 1206 1251 others?

best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] 1323

2012-09-21 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
To confuse the issue, PAL lists two separate CRI transmitters on 
1323, one broadcasting KK (and to further confusion yet, it goes to 
VoR at 1400UT), and one broadcasting RR. But the latter is in the 
far northwest of the country, so seems a little unlikely to be the 
one that we are hearing in RR...


So does the Huadian transmitter broadcast RR in spite of what is 
stated in the schedule?It sure sounded like RR to me at 1334UT 
this morning.


Puzzling.

best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] 1323

2012-09-21 Thread Dennis Vroom
Nick,




PAL's lists the CRI 1323 kHz Huadian , Jilin station with Korean from 
1100-1400 utc. Huadian site is about 260 miles West of the Pacific ocean and 
around 100 miles North of North Korea. Huadian does broadcast VOR from 
1400-1500 utc. The CRI Hutubi, Xinjiang station on 1323 kHz is listed with 
Russian from 1300-1457 utc. The Hutubi site is about 1,600 miles West of the 
Pacific Ocean . This site has two rows of four antennas and another area has 4 
antennas. 44°09'33N,86°53'58E. If you have time, enter coordinates on Google 
Earth and view the transmitter site. Both Huadian and Hutubi are listed in 
Asiawaves as 600 kw. 

Best regards,

Dennis,
Kalama, WA
