[IRCA] TP 29 Aug; Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

This morning was definitely an improvement on yesterday, though that 
wasn't much of a comparison point.


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


a bit much to hope for...



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


279 R. Rossii man in RR, then pop mx 1238UT
1566 HLAZ  man in JJ 1255UT


not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


738 Tahiti assumed, woman in FF 1235UT
774 JOUB woman in JJ 1236UT
1053 KK jammer 1243UT




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) :


531 slow talking deep voiced man, followed by choral mx 1250UT; PI? 
this quiet channel doesn't need much of a signal

567 man talking, then another, DU EE inflection 1239UT
612 4QR? woman talking, then man DU EE inflection 1319UT
819 man talking 1313UT; big 820 splatter makes this a tough channel 
to dig out anything readable

747 JOIB weak NHK pips 1300UT, followed by man talking
828 JOBB jolly sound of EE lessons 1223UT, weak pips on hour, also 
the distinctive sound of the long wx broadcast 1305UT
891  man talking perhaps DU EE, various times,  1245UT the "best"; 
still audio traces after 1330UT

972 man talking, perhaps KK 1311UT
1287 woman talking, JJ inflection 1255UT



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


189 657 909 1008 1242



best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] A heads up for the Vancouver Island guys

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Thanks for this Mike.   That extra skip must be a killer, because I 
haven't heard (or even seen) evidence of 1215kHz yet.  Some nights, 
1566, but very weak, and that summer time reception of Benin(?)  must 
be nearly finished.


When you see a carrier in Perseus, can you hear a heterodyne if you 
tune in LSB or USB and offset slightly from the nominal 
frequency?   When I see a carrier with the NetSDR it's "audible" by 
tuning off in sideband mode, but by using Spectran, an audio spectrum 
analyzer, I can "see" carriers that I can't hear.  Extreme minimalist 
DXing indeed   (why, I can "see" 1566 right now...which pretty much 
says that I need to get a life, hi)


best wishes,

Nick

For the past couple of weeks I've been seeing TA carriers on the 
waterfall display on my Perseus. These started on August 16 with 
carriers on 153 and 162 and progressed to a few in the upper portion 
of the MW band most evenings and usually starting to appear shortly 
after local sunset. Last evening was the best so far with at least 
20 carriers, several of which were producing faint audio. These were 
1206-France, 1215-UK and 1422-Germany. Not the earliest I've heard 
TAs from here, but pretty close. Past few seasons have been very 
sparse up here for TAs and you guys have done much better than I 
have. Just thought I'd let you know they are back.

And the 5 kw night power would explain why they were totally dominating 
Birmingham at night (with Montreal nulled) when I was in Iowa City back on 
August 13-14.  According to radio-locator.com, WQNO, ex-WIST, ex-WTIX, should 
be throwing practically all of its night signal out into the Gulf.

icurapossumhunter2 in SC, a.k.a. KJ4HYD, just posted this to the ABDX yg:

Traveler`s Guide to American Catholic Radio, 15 August 2013, from Catholic 
Radio Update, a 2-page pdf. It *does* list one 690 EWTN (default network 
u.o.s.), and there it is:

New Orleans WQNO 690 & 104.9

So EWTN website`s own info is out of date showing two other AM stations there, 
and confirming my suspicion based on direxion and propagation that it was the 
690 in New Orleans, which had been WIST, with Yahoo Sports Radio, as in last 
year`s NRC AM Log as of August.

Then checking FCC AM Query, 690 in NO is indeed now WQNO, owned by Catholic 
Community Radio, and calls changed from WIST on 12/19/2012. It`s now 10/5 kW 
with different direxionality day and night, but they have a CP for 9.1/0.016 
kW, which hardly seems an improvement; also a slight change of coordinates 
along exactly the same longitude but 9 seconds further south in latitude, 
essentially on the same property (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

WQNO 690 is going non directional... dropping 3 out of their 4 towers. I
think their array was damaged by Katrina back when they were a talk station.

[IRCA] A heads up for the Vancouver Island guys

[Mike Stonebridge]

For the past couple of weeks I've been seeing TA carriers on the waterfall 
display on my Perseus. These started on August 16 with carriers on 153 and 162 
and progressed to a few in the upper portion of the MW band most evenings and 
usually starting to appear shortly after local sunset. Last evening was the 
best so far with at least 20 carriers, several of which were producing faint 
audio. These were 1206-France, 1215-UK and 1422-Germany. Not the earliest I've 
heard TAs from here, but pretty close. Past few seasons have been very sparse 
up here for TAs and you guys have done much better than I have. Just thought 
I'd let you know they are back.

Mike in St Isidore, AB

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK August 23-29, 2013

[Glenn Hauser]

All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT`]. Rx: mostly DX-398 
with internal antenna only; or Sony SRF-59 as specified; Nissan stock caradio 
as specified; FRG-7 as specified


These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also 
VHF/UHF, sometimes, utility, ham, which may be found in several archives 
without much delay, such as
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and 
publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html

All my MW DX reports starting two years ago are archived in this forum with 
open access:
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page15
 
These logs are in four sexions, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of 
USA, unidentified, separated by === Within each, they are in frequency order

** OKLAHOMA. 1020, August 26 at 0544 UT, KOKP Perry again has lost modulation, 
just open carrier, making ~215/minute or 3.58 Hz SAH with KDKA which is quite 
audible with KOKP nulled; see USA. Such anomalies are almost routine with KOKP 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1120, August 23 at 0555 UT, as I tune across and null KMOX, 
immediately get a Spanish ID starting with K-, and on to music, not definitely 
praiseworthy, and no re-ID at top of hour as it is losing out to KMOX, but 
still detectable past 0610. I can only conclude this is daytimer KEOR 
Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa cheating again, since it is also making typical SAH of a 
few Hz as heard on previous unpredictable occasions, and there are no other SS 
K-stations known, altho there are 3 or 4 in the W-zone on 1120.

1120, August 24 at 0508 UT, daytimer KEOR Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa is on again in 
the nightmiddle; I don`t see how this could be accidental, but if KMOX doesn`t 
care, why should we? Why should the FCC?

0508 alabanza music is heard on the SRF-59, best in KMOX null, but at times 
strong enough to be heard and with few-Hz SAH under KMOX, unless KEOR be 
precisely nulled. 0512 break for YL speaking some devotional ``palabras de 
Victoria``; program promos for other dayparts; local ad mentioning something on 
81st Street (typically Tulsa: east-west arteries on the south side all follow 
the formula (10x + 1); and back to music.

1120, August 25 at 0506 UT, gospel huxter in Spanish is atop KMOX briefly, no 
doubt daytimer KEOR Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa cheating again. And while often 
recently no signal past 1300 UT, on Aug 25 it`s already/still on at 1144 with 
(same?) preacher, and no KMOX, just before Catoosa legal sunrise of 1145.

1120, August 27 at 0619 UT, gospel huxter in Spanish, making SAH of about 4 Hz 
with KMOX nulled: no doubt KEOR Sperry/Catoosa/Tulsa daytimer still cheating 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1684, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210, August 25 at 0508 UT, VG signal from ``U S Country`` = KGYN 
Guymon, and it has been thus for many nights now, obviously again ignoring its 
nighttime direxional null toward Philadelphia requirement (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
WORLD OF RADIO 1684, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1650, August 29 at 1123 UT, open carrier looping E/W; 
must be KYHN Sallisaw ``Fort Smith AR``; mixed with at least two others, sports 
from NE/SW, i.e. KCNZ in Iowa, and Spanish religion from NW/SE, i.e. KBJD 
Denver. Then at 1126 I hear Osgood from CBS in the mix, about Pres. Obama`s 
speech yesterday. Maybe that`s really from KYHN undermodulating.

The Spanish 1650 mentions Radio Transmundial (TWR) at 1125 UT, apparently 
closing a program from them, and at 1130 a definite ID in Spanish as ``16-50 
A-M, KBJD``. I am not going to render the pronunciation of each letter as 
everyone should know at least that much Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

=

** U S A. 529, Aug 27 at 0549 there`s a het upon 530 Cuba and 530 Vance AFB 
TIS, which I haven`t heard in ages. Must be 529 ``LYQ`` reactivated, as just 
tipped by Bruce Conti, Nashua NH log on the mwdx yg: 

``529, *WQHL966 TN Morrison* - 8/25 0300 EDT [0700 UT] - Loud het against 530 
R. Enciclopedia; repeating LYQ in Morse code. Listed in FCC database as an 
aviation radio navigation station at Roseanne Airport. New log``

I replied: ``Not new here, but haven`t heard a het of it in months, and 
presumed was inactive. This is run by Dave Frantz at his WWRB SWBC site (3185, 
3215, 5050, 9370), and I think he only turns it on occasionally when needed as 
navigational backup. 73 Glenn Hauser, OK``

I hear it first on the SRF-59, just the A2 het, can`t make out any ID, but as I 
rotate the barefoot ultralight, the pitch of the het changes very slightly: 
because K530AM Vance is a bit higher in frequency than Cuba with which it 
normally makes a significant SAH. Then I switch to the DX-398 in LSB mode and 
can barely make out ``LYQ`` IDs. May soon be gone again for months. BTW, K530AM 
is still warning

** MEXICO. 610, August 25 at 1156 UT, full ID, too much QRM from Kansas City, 
but I get enough fragments to nail it: FM ends in .1, Guasave mentioned, so 
it`s XEGS in Sinaloa whose FM is 106.1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 650, August 27 at 0614 UT, Radio 65 and 12:14 TC in Spanish, back to 
music, axually atop WSM without nulling the latter. I.e. XETNT, Los Mochis, 
Sinaloa, a regular here but WSM normally dominant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 660, August 29 at 1145 UT, lotsa familiar SRS Mexicans as I am now 
awakening before LSR of 1200; here I am hearing a nice marimba rendition of 
``Sandunga``, looping NE/SW, far enough away from ``The Answer`` in The 
Metroplex, KSKY. 1146 only ID is ``6-60 AM`` which I already know. A few 
possibilities as far as DF and NW Mexico; may or may not be same station as 
definitely IDed at 1158 in a string of local ads/announcements with street 
addresses and phone numbers, finally mentioning ``aquí en Delicias``, i.e. 
XEACB in Chihuahua, 5/1 kW per IRCA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 680, August 29 at 1157 UT, ``La Mera Jefa`` ID atop the QRM, i.e. 
XEORO in Guasave, Sinaloa, 1/0.5 kW per IRCA Log. Would someone idiomatically 
translate this slogan, also used by other Mexicans? My dixionary doesn`t even 
have mera, instead meramente which obviously means merely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)


** MEXICO. 760, August 29 at 1144 UT, ``ABC Radio`` ID in passing as I tune in, 
from ``la plaza ---``? Maybe really mentioned city of license as below, i.e. 
XEABC is still propagating. IRCA shows 70/5 kW, from Los Reyes de la Paz, 
Estado de México, but serving as a defacto DF outlet in that huge overcrowded 
market (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 770, August 29 at 1155 UT, amid rock music in English, SID jingle as 
``Los Cuarenta`` dominating rather than KKOB pre-sunrise there. Per IRCA Log 
it`s XEREV in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, 5/0.1 kW where it is surely also 
pre-sunrise, but guess which power they are really using? Short for Los 40 
Principales, i.e. Top-40. Is their playlist really that limited, and where do 
they get it, from the US of A or is there really a US of M Top-40 in English 
research bureau? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 870, August 29 at 1202 UT, ``diez mil watts de potencia desde 
Guachochi, Chihuahua, México``. Nice to be hearing this true daytimer again at 
sign-on which I think is 7 am local yearound, now that it`s just sunrising here 
{or rather it`s 6 am now CST}. Mixed with kidchoir music, couple announcers 
wish `` muy buenos días``, 1204 ID ``XETAR, La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara`` as 
part of lengthy-named federal indigenous radio system, address, phone numbers, 
website, rustic music. Only fair but steady signal vs slight SAH probably from 
Vietnam-in-The-Metroplex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 880, August 25 at 1150 UT, break in romantic music for nothing but a 
``5:49`` timecheck by YL in Spanish, which means it has to be one of two 
stations: XEV in Chihuahua city, or XEPNK in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, about the 
same direxion. Chihua2 closer, but Sinaloa stations are common here around 
sunrise skip. IRCA AM log shows XEPNK the one with musical format rather than 
news/talk, but relying on XE format info is risky. Many other Mexicans are in 
around this time, most playing music. Enid sunrise today 1158 UT, soon to 
surpass 1200 at the rate of about 5 minutes later per week (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Re: [IRCA] Country # 102 heard on Ultralight Radio

[Stephen Airy]

Wow, Allen! :o

I'm beginning to think you have fewer countries NOT logged than I have 
countries logged! So far I have 7 countries logged - 
USA (too many to list here), 
Mexico (too many to list here - a couple dozen or so are good 24/7 reception on 
barefoot ultralights, including 1700 XEPE which I believe you have logged?), 
Canada (1130 CKWX when local 10kW KSDO, 6.3 mi N of me, was off the air one 
night), 
Japan (594 JOAK out from under local 5kW 600 KOGO's IBOC just 7.7 mi W of me, 
plus 774 JOUB, made easier by 760 KFMB's sunrise power reduction from 50kW to 
5kW 7.3 mi NW of me), 
North Korea (657 Pyongyang - anyone know a callsign for this station?), 
South Korea (972 HLCA and 1566 HLAZ through 1580 KMIK's IBOC which has since 
been shut off) and 
Thailand (1575 VOA - is there an official callsign for this?).

You seem to be a magnet for the exotic DX. :) I bet you could get TAs in the 
middle of the day on 1071 from Columbia Park in Torrance, CA, using just your 
Sony SRF-M37W with its stock wide filter. :) (KNX-1070's 50kW + IBOC TX is in 
Columbia Park.)

So if you use a double-full-wave longwire/beverage antenna on the beach (or an 
even better antenna), is it possible for you to hear any high-powered coastal 
European broadcasters on groundwave over the saltwater path?  Or can you hear 
any USA, or even Carribean or South American stations with the aid of the 
saltwater? I've read a post on here from a few years ago where someone on 
Signal Hill in NFLD, was able to "clearly copy" (which I understand "clearly" 
to mean completely free of noise - basically a local-grade signal) 5kW 560 WQAM 
Miami, FL, with a barefoot ICF-6500 on groundwave, IIRC.

Also I don't know if you have much in the way of "local" pests, but do you 
often log stations on their frequencies? :)
So far one of my better out-from-under-local-pest logs is 910 KWDZ Salt Lake 
City, UT, which transmits 1kW but has a deep null toward me.  It was dug out 
from under 910 KECR, whose 5kW sends >10kW toward me from 9.3 mi N of me, 
almost the same heading as KWDZ. :) Another one, although yet unID, is Spanish 
on 760, out from under 50kW KFMB, 7.7 mi NW of me.  I think it's Mexico, 
although I wish it was South America. :)  And, there's the 594-JOAK logging 
(under 600 KOGO's IBOC) mentioned above.

Or do you have more of a knack for the blind-luck loggings? There's a couple I 
remember...
840 WHAS, out from under a very strong skywave from KXNT while I was listening 
to Dave Ramsey.
One night in Feb/Mar a year/two ago I'd gone to sleep listening to my SRF-59 
(either 640 KFI, 910 KECR, 1070 KNX, 1090 XEPRS, 1110 KDIS or 1580 KMIK). Woke 
up around 5am to find the radio & headphones laying on the bed.  Put the 
headphones on and not 5 seconds later heard a faint "equis eh eh equis" in the 
noise, but alone on frequency.  Upon looking it up online, I found it was 1230 
XEEX from Culiacan, Mexico, about 795 mi SE of me. :) There was no splash from 
my local 1240 KNSN.

Now it seems like I have a TON of catching up to do in the exotic DX 
department. Your reception of such DX seems to be more routine than my 
reception of my strongest local daytime station, 50kW 1170 KCBQ. :)

Hello To All,

It was well worth the early morning rise this morning as there was good 
propagation from the south as rarely heard here , WBAP on 820 from Ft. Worth , 
Texas had a decent signal as well as numerous Cuban outlets. Radio Coro from 
Venezuela on 780 also making an appearance. 

As I checked the lower part of the band I heard Spanish on 550 with a pretty 
good signal thinking that it was probably the usual Venezuela or Cuba . To my 
surprise , I began to hear Radio Colonia ID's and mentions of Uruguay. 

The station remained audible for quite some time all by itself on the frequency 
until it began to fade as sunrise approached.

Thus a new country for the Ultralight log once again.

550 khz - URUGUAY - CW1 Radio Colonia, Colonia del Sacramento 8:00 UTC w/ woman 
in Spanish quoting many uno's and quatro's, definitive "Radio Colonia" & " 
programa Radio Colonia " ID's as well as mentions of Uruguay by the woman and 
also repeated by a man afterwards. (Signal was all alone by itself on frequency 
)
