[IRCA] TP 7 Mar; Victoria version
I gather from the silence that it wasn't just me who had, um, extreme minimalist DXing conditions. Monitoring from 1400ish to after 1430UT (not continuously...life is too short), yielded 1557 w/instrumental mx and woman talking at the noise level at 1423UT, and, carriers, some close to audio but not quite there: 594 603 972 1287 1422 1503 1512 1566 1512 was interesting in that it was pretty much the strongest carrier on the band, near audio, at 1437UT. Like I said, extreme minimalist DXing. Now, time to get a life,hi. best wishes, Nick ___ 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] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-7
Hello All, It was a better morning for Asian DX than yesterday here, but not by very much. A lackluster sunrise enhancement brought 594-JOAK, 972-HLCA, 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA out of the noise from 1415-1435, with all of these big guns reaching a fair level (in and out) at times. 1575-VOA was again the most vibrant of the bunch, but with its typical pattern of fading in and out every 10 seconds (or so). 1566-HLAZ was comatose until around 1433, when peak sunrise enhancement brought it up to an anemic level. 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA were both struggling to get out of the noise, managing to reach feeble audio in between deep fades. It wasn't exactly another dreary session, but far from exciting. In the overall picture, though, I suppose that as long as another TP-DXer (like Nick) is also willing to track down these marginal Asians every morning, we can continue to ignore the evidence that this long-running DX season is finally on its last legs. 1575 VOA Ban Rassom, Thailand Fair Asiatic language OM speech at 1423; best TP signal of the morning http://www.mediafire.com/?ajd5c4sjd8566ed 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) C.Crane SWP 7.5 Slider loopstick Ultralight + 8 Medium Wave FSL antenna (DXing indoors) ___ 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

Very hard to get a fix on it, but presumed CHHA Voces Latinas in Toronto. No announcement before it faded down by 5 minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 930, March 3 at 1309 UT, WKY, La Indomable in its token English pubaffs show in the Sunday morning ghetto when they hope listenership will be minimal: guest on `Sunday Morning Magazine` is from the Central Oklahoma Humane Society, about pets, then break for adstring: some kind of joint promotion in Spanish with Anheuser-Busch; ABC-TV ad in English for ``Red Widow`` premiering tonight; Home Depot in English; back to show with Phil Enzinga (sp?) host, who speaks perfect English, as does his next guest about Camp Clap-Hands, of the J.

Official March sunrise is now 1230 UT instead of 1300 in February, so if they were trying for 1245, that doesn`t fit for either month. See for all the FCC info about it: http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0facid=87114 I first heard KYHN reactivated 3.5 weeks ago on Feb 12 at 1300+, which matches the date on the latest letter on Resumption of Operations in the Correspondence Folder: https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts?context=25appn=101541305formid=910fac_num=87114 which however says they came back on Feb 10-11: ``Date station went silent: 02/18/2012 Date station commenced operation: 02/10/2013 REPAIRS TO THE KYHN TRANSMITTER AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT WERE COMPLETED ON 02/11/2013 AND BROADCASTING RESUMED AS AUTHORIZED WITH 10 KW DAYTIME AND 1 KW NIGHTTIME.`` Of course the FCC won`t care if they stunt forever, not getting involved in programming matters.

While KWHN 1320 is separately licensed to CAPSTAR TX LLC. 1650 was originally supposed to be the X-band replacement for KWHN 1320, which continues with real newstalk programming, and the callsigns swapped back and forth.

Yes! Dial Global Sports promo about NFL; ``Coming soon to Arklahoma … Big AM 1650``, then promo from Cumulus` `Red Eye Radio`, which I had not caught KYHN plugging before, so now we know what will be on overnight if they ever get going for real (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1659, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 770, March 1 at 1331 UT, KKOB with New Mexico news.

[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, March 1-7, 2013
All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only. Or FRG-7, Sony SRF-59 when specified.

No XEW chimes, however. This was amid some ballad music which continued, so not sure if ID interrupted same on XEK or that was from another Mexican like XEFAMA, also heard previously. By 0604 also mixing in dueling banjos from `Deliverance`, probably from WABG in Mississippi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1300, March 6 at 1340 UT, deliberately stammering promos for effect, Radio México Noticias, quick list of international bridge traffic delays, including Zaragoza just downstream, weather, i.e. XEP Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua; 1342 Hugo Chávez bio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 2910, March 3 at 1213 UT, XEVT, Villahermosa, Tabasco, 3 x 970 harmonic is peaking about now, as good as it ever gets. Recording: http://www.w4uvh.net/XEVT2910.rm Starts with timecheck for 6:13, and a few other peaks of readable Spanish audio, such as mention of ``mujer y el poeta``. Catching call letters is very difficult, rarely mentioned, but previously firmly IDed. Altho I`ve heard it many times, I haven`t yet seen a single other report of it from anyone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 880, March 3 at 1314 UT, spirited discussion in Spanish, mentions mujeres, ``cien metros`` a couple times, so maybe about women`s track field? In tight null of KRVN N/S. No KLRG now which often occupies that null, from AR to the east. Previously had XEV Chihuahua city which is a R. Fórmula news/talker, best bet, but also XETC ``Kiuu`` == Q as pronounced in English, Torreón, Coahuila. Sports talk is format for XEAAA Guadalajara, Ultra per IRCA Log, but doubt it`s that at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1179, March 3 at 0712 UT, off-frequency making a het against 1180s. Again I check the nulls and conclude it`s from the NW/SE, not the NE/SW. My previous log of this happened to be when Spain was inbooming to New York on 1179, NRC`s Bruce Conti says, and he thought I was getting it too, along with 1521 from Spain, not Saudi Arabia. But my 1179 is definitely not from Europe`s direxion, and most likely one of the multiple Rebelde Cubans straying (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ___ 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
