[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 1-9
Hello All, Despite the dire solar predictions some fair Asian signals made it through this morning, with even a fairly good sunrise enhancement period-- something that has been pretty unusual lately. Like Dennis I noticed that none of the signals from 1440-1510 were particularly strong, although 1575-VOA did reach a fairly potent level during sunrise enhancement. My own session started off around 1430, with strange stations like 738-BEL2 and 936-Anhui again managing fair audio while the Japanese big guns were down in the noise (like two days ago). 972-HLCA was in and out with fair to good audio from 1430-1500, and 648-VOR occasionally broke through the CISL splatter with apparent English during this period. Other than this unusual collection of Asians there was no other TP audio during the predawn darkness here. Around 1515 sunrise enhancement started to bring up the signals from 1575-VOA (very good audio in and out around 1540), 1593-CNR1 (fair around 1535), 1377-CNR1 (poor to fair around 1545) and 648-VOR (fair at 1543). Except for occasional poor audio from 594-JOAK, 747-JOIB and 828-JOBB the Japanese seemed to be MIA this morning, along with the Korean big guns on 1053 and 1566. That was pretty much the story of another strange morning. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5 loopstick Tecsun PL-380 Ultralight + 12 Medium Wave FSL antenna ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] Status of Nearby Stations
WWCS sure sounds like full power. Could even be ND, but I have no way to tell. Could a faulty antenna monitor have been responsible for their disappearance here last year? All I could get on 540 most of last year in the daytime was a very weak signal out of WGTH, Richlands, VA. Given their financial weakness (three format changes in the six years before they went silent, few or no local spots), I'd say WLGC may be gone. I can't imagine them operating on much reduced power. They have to put a listenable signal into Huntington and Ashland to compete in that market. I never understood why WJAW-630 didn't dominate the channel here in Albany. With 1 kw ND, and a transmitter near Parkersburg, they should have been as strong as the other Parkersburg and Marietta stations (even WMOA dominates 1490). Yet they were always just about even w/WLAP. Now they are blowing WLAP away. As I recall, they mentioned new listeners in the Clarksburg-Morgantown corridor. They are ESPN and ID frequently and run a lot of local spots and promos, so if you don't have them, you might want to try. Some IDs are done by local boy Nick Swisher. TOH IDs are, ESPN on the radio, WJAW, St. Mary's-Parkersburg and WJAW-FM, McConnellsville-Marietta. During major national sports broadcasts they sometimes add WMOA to the feed and do three-station IDs. 73 David On Wednesday, January 8, 2014 6:42 PM, Dennis Gibson wb6...@yahoo.com wrote: WWCS was granted an engineering STA on December 31 which approved removal of the antenna monitor. It is being sent to the manufacturer for repair. It is expected that the repairs will take 60-70 days. The station requested authority to operate at minor variance for 90 days pending repair and reinstallation of the monitor. The minor variance was not specified. Some engineering STAs for directional stations are granted for nondirectional operation at 25% of the licensed power. WEMM was granted a legal STA (notification of suspension of operations/request for silent STA) on July 31, 2013. The justification was that the station had been vandalized and necessary equipment had been stolen. It expected to return to the air in a few weeks. WLGC was granted a legal STA on January 25, 2013. The justification was that storms caused a fire which damaged the transmitter, which led to antenna maintenance issues. I am not familiar with these stations. WEMM's few weeks have long since gone by. WLGC went dark on October 4, 2012. A station off the air for more than twelve months is subject to having it's license deleted.

Had been inaudible (but on) most of last year. WJAW, 630, St. Mary's, WV now totally dominates WLAP is actually listenable here. Jawco runs a three-station shopping spree three times a year. On the Christmas one they said they were getting a lot of calls from the Clarksburg Corrridor, apparently new listeners, so I wonder if this one has bumped power up. Was off one morning in December for transmitter maintenance. WEMM, 1200, Huntington, WV still silent. I only hear the New Castle here. They advertise the FM on channel 3-TV, but no mention of the AM in those ads. WLGC, 1520, Greenup, KY not a peep out of `em here. All I can get on that channel is a bit of WLGN splatter, no matter what rx I try. If they're on, they're running low power into a long wire or something. There is absolutely nothing on that channel here all day. Their FM, licensed to South Webster, OH, is still on and playing cw. 73 David Faulkner ___ 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] the small one?
Hmmm, sort of like weather forecasting now they're saying: 014-01-10 01:15 UTC Modest Start to Geomagnetic Storm The coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the R3 (Strong) Solar Flare Radio Blackout event from January 7th is now affecting Earth but the resulting geomagnetic storm is off to a modest start, with no substantial storming occurring thus far. The initial structure of this CME has been relatively weak in strength, but that said, it generally takes on the order of 24 hours or more for the full event to transpire and stronger storming is certainly still possible. The ongoing Solar Radiation Storm, still just above the S2 (Moderate) threshold, continues it slow decay toward background levels. Additionally, Region 1944 is showing some signs of decay and no significant flaring has been observed in the last 48 hours. Stay tuned for updates.

The wounded Flag's remote adjustment still nulls pretty well! pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): also MIA not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 774 JOUB man in JJ 1359UT, pips 1400, and NHK mention by woman 828 JOBB man and woman in JJ 1354UT 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) : 648 man and woman talking 1522UT, too sloppy from 650 for guess at language 747 JOIB? man and woman talking 1423UT, lessons? 873 ? man talking 1344UT, too murky for language guess, and no NHK2 audible at this time 972 man talking 1412UT 1566 HLAZ w/standard JJ program s/off 1343UT; oyasumi nasai indeed, I'm off to work...actually, the recording tells me that at 1550UT, there was no audio, but there were three carriers, roughly 1566.000, 1566.003 and 1566.031Hz Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 594 738 756 837 1017 1404 1494 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
Re: [IRCA] 1640 test tones at 0519 UTC
I parked on 1640 for the last 90 minutes, and all I'm hearing is a steady 1 kHz tone on-going, which seems to be coming from the SSE from my location in Victoria, BC. 73,Walt On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 4:39 AM, Nick Hall-Patch n...@ieee.org wrote: Closer to 100 degrees from here tonight TimDunno, anyone closer to Salt Lake City hearing this and can do a fix on it?

Normal programming from KDIA, KDZR (via remotes) and WTNI KZLS (via my receiver) heard during the same time. Maybe coming from KBJA? 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan ___ 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 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
