[IRCA] TP Sept 23, 2012 / Victoria version
I would sure like to know what causes these little DX droughts. This morning it was very difficult to dig up the DX, even the big guns were struggling for the most part, yet even so, a couple of Chinese stations turned up briefly. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB finally got up to this level at 1339UT w/man speaking JJ (same time as yesterday) reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1287 JOHR presumed the one with JJ talk by men plus laughter 1566 HLAZ choral mx at 1340UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 594 JOAK rapid JJ talk by man, first appearance at 1350UT 747 JOIB man talking in JJ 1341UT 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) : 639 CNR-1 CC talk by woman //6125 at 1329UT 828 JOBB JJ talk by man // w/stronger 774, 1330UT 936 Anhui?

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-22
Hello All, Like others have reported, it was very slim pickings for Asiatic TP signals this morning as only the big guns managed any audio. In comparison to yesterday signals seemed very anemic, and you needed to be on the right frequency at the right time to hear any TP much above the noise level. Results here were very similar to Dennis' report-- 10 big gun TP's managed poor to fair audio, the best of which was 639-CNR1 (only because it rules the roost here on a clear frequency, after KFI fades out around 1335). 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Poor-fair Japanese male conversation at 1318; best NHK signal of the morning 603 UnID Weak Chinese-sounding music around 1342; presumed to be the "new" big gun Hulun Buir 639 CNR1 China Synchros Poor-Fair Chinese YL speech at 1345 after KFI fade; clearest TP signal of the morning http://www.mediafire.com/?ixq5ab6e6xs8ocu 738 BEL2 Penghu, Taiwan Poor strength wisps of Chinese male speech at 1348 747 JOIB Sapporo, Japan Poor-fair Japanese OM speech in Portland splatter 1309 936 Anhui, China Poor strength Chinese music and speech at 1328 972 HLCA Dangjin, S.

[IRCA] TP's & DU's for Saturday, September 22, 2012: Colin's view
What a turn-around. 747 Japan stood out and apart from a few hets here and there (around 1330 UTC) -- nothing! Onward. The good news is that, locally, a house is being moved into our neighborhood on Sunday morning between 1AM and 5AM and the power for the entire area of around 10 hectares (or 3000 X 3000 feet) is going to be completely without power! I will on battery power so this will be a neat opportunity to see what "country" living is like in an urban area. My wife and I are also aggressively pursuing some "suburban" property -- house that backs onto park land that could radically shift my listening opportunities... And after 15+ years in a "flat" (Apartment-condo) living, I am READY! Wish us luck. == Colin Newell - Victoria B.C.

[IRCA] Alberta TP/DUs for 22 Sep 2012
Hardly a stellar TP moning, but a slight improvement from yesterday, as at least I had some audio. Japan on 774 was fair by 1240, and 747 followed a few minutes later. Both, however, were short term visitors, and had vanished by 1300. That was it for audio, although most of the carriers had increased strength compared to yesterday.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1520 Fox Sports Radio
KSIB I think started Fox Sports radio on their AM 9/10 IIRC. The FM remains country except for a couple popular local programs, according to their website. When looking up Fox Sports Radio 1520, found WJMP Kent, OH and another new affiliate WFAU Augusta, ME. Was WFAU a recent CP? Anyone heard it yet? Their website just says under construction. 73, George S., MN From: Rick Dau To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America ; "a...@nrcdxas.org" Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 7:02 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1520 Fox Sports Radio 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). 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska From: Jim Renfrew To: a...@nrcdxas.org; Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 11:01 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1520 Fox Sports Radio Just IDed as ESPN 1520 the Ticket, Rochester ... so unneeded KOLM.

Re: [IRCA] 1323
Hi Nick To add to the confusion, the two sites in NE China are probably directional tho I don't show them as such in the PAL. They're not all that far apart for co-channel transmitters with hundreds of kw power. In checking through my email trail, you first brought the Korean service to my attention back in 2007 after you received it and had Bill Harms translate the ID. Before that, I had only the Russian service listed. Bruce On 9/21/2012 23:13, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: Hi Dennis, I'm afraid I didn't look deeply enough into PALthere are yet two more CRI's listed on 1323. Lhasa we can ignore for now (later in the season perhaps, hi?), but there's another R. Kitaya, in Shuanghyashan, which is in northeastern China 46 40N, 131 21E, and is likely the one that Walt and I are hearing these mornings, especially if it's directional to the Russian Far East.The KK service is more likely to be real DX for us, if it's directional into Korea, though of course there may be side lobes. But that's all speculation on my part. best wishes, Nick At 04:56 22-09-12, you wrote: 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°09'33"N,86°53'58"E. 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.

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 At 18:05 21-09-12, Walt wrote: > Dennis, 1323 here is solid CRI Russian, but this is later than your > time (c 13:30).
