[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 7-16
---BeginMessage--- Hello All, It was a pleasure to welcome noted DXpeditioner Chuck Hutton to the humble Highway 101 turnoff this morning-- possibly for the psychological assurance that somebody else was also fanatical enough to chase DX on the side of an ocean side cliff on busy Highway 101 at 0400 local time (actually, Bill was there before me, at around 0300, to set up his small flag antenna). So with the reassurance that both of us were indeed halfway normal, we proceeded to chase Kiwi DX in both an Apples and Oranges setup (Perseus SDR + Flag antenna, and PL-380 Ultralight Radio + FSL antenna). Fortunately Chuck encountered the same New Zealand-slanted propagation that I have been experiencing for the past 3 days (which happens often at Rockwork 4, but which is particularly intense this week). We both DXed independently, so the report below contains only the Ultralight + FSL highlights of the session. Once again it was primarily an all-Kiwi session, with S/N pegging signals from 531-PI, 567-RNZ and 657-Southern Star. At the 1115 UTC start time New Zealand stations were already on the warpath, with 531-PI leading the charge at an S-9 level. Signals continued to improve until the peak sunrise enhancement from 1230-1300, including the strongest signals ever received from 567-RNZ and 657-Southern Star. Despite multiple searches the Australians seemed to be back in hibernation, with the intense Kiwis totally shutting them out on all the low band frequencies. Around 1256 UTC a fairly decent carrier finally showed up on 576, and I figured that the Aussie big gun 2RN was finally making its first appearance this week. When tuning in, however, I heard a fairly weak station with a solemn DU voice reading something (or maybe preaching), backed up by a two-tone organ-- with apparent mentions of the Lord at :54 and :57 into the MP3 recording. Because this format doesn't sound at all like the Aussie big gun 2RN, it makes me wonder whether the intense Kiwi propagation delivered a very rare New Zealand station apparently never before heard on the west coast-- the 2.5 kW The Word/ Bible Radio in Hamilton. The only Aussie to make it through the twisted propagation was the Brisbane big gun 1116-4BC, which somehow managed to deliver a vibrant signal around 1247. Chuck and I wrapped up DXing around 1330, and plan to hit the Rockwork 4 cliff again very early on Thursday morning. 531 PI Auckland, NZ (5 kW) Another day, another thunderous PI recording-- so what else is new? http://www.mediafire.com/listen/er60cl7pivjaj02/531-PI-1217z071614PL380.MP3 567 RNZ Wellington, NZ (50 kW) Monster signal from the Kiwi big gun pegging the PL-380 S/N with news at 1302; this was the strongest signal it's managed during any of the ocean cliff DXpeditions http://www.mediafire.com/listen/ei3fcu7fmpm7bs2/567-RNZ-1302z071614PL380.MP3 576 UnID-DU Weak DU English speech with apparent religious format-- possibly the 2.5 kW New Zealand station?

Re: [IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 7-16
---BeginMessage--- Hi Gary, I'm enjoying your recordings so far. :) Hey if you're still there today, unless you already did and I missed it, have you ever done a midday bandscan video with the PL-380 and FSL at the cliff? I'd love to hear (and see on the display) what signals you receive there in the daytime. Also have you done a gain comparison / shootout video of a stock PL-380 (no 7.5 loopstick) vs. the FSL + 7.5 loopstick? I'd like to get some idea of the gain it gives, and I think it'd help if it's done with a signal that's weak but readable on the stock radio, for example one reading 17/04 or something like that. I'd love to be able to try DXing some DU stations myself, but is it possible from my inland location (32.76065, -116.94585) with just a ULR and Select-A-Tenna? My ULRs are: • PL-380 (busted volume knob) • 2x PL-606 (1x busted display) • SRF-59 (audio out left side only) • SRF-M37W (with aftermarket filter, but at least 1 local is still heard 200+ kHz away) • CC Pocket (but considering sending it back due to some issues like low volume on some signals) • SRF-42 and a few others with much inferior performance. Also my 60+ dBµ pests are on 600, 690, 760 (80+ night), 910 (70+ night), 1130 (70+), 1170 (80+ day) and 1360, with runners up (50+) including (but not limited to) 540, 660 (night), 720 (night), 740 (night), 800, 810 (night), 840 (night), 860, 950 (day), 1040 (day), 1070 (night peaks), 1090, 1110 (SR/SS), 1210, 1240, 1470, 1530 (night), 1580 (night), 1670 (night) and 1700. My next confirmed DU reception would be my first, although there's been a few times I've wondered if I had something but couldn't get enough audio to ID. I've been looking at the lists on mwlist.org trying to come up with a list of targets, but that project is no where near done yet. A few comments on some of your recordings so far this week ... 7-13 - 603 Radio Waatea - nice nearly-QRM-free signal. :) This would be tough for me, as I have a local on 600 just 7.7 miles west of me. Although, I wonder if it would be possible? I *have* heard 594 JOAK here once, and 600-KOGO (~68 dBµ on PL-606) was running IBOC at the time and they aren't anymore. 7-13 - 1503 Radio Sport - is there some nearby local interference/station here? The character of the noise/hiss sounds a lot like what I hear when there's a strong local signal (like 75+ dBµ 20-40 kHz away or 87+ dBµ 100+ kHz away; blank-channel dBµ readings nearby would typically be 41-49, or sometimes 50) near a semi-weak-to-medium target signal. 7-14 - 594 NZ Rhema - think I have a chance at this? (see above on 7-13 603 re: KOGO) 7-14 - 675 RNZ - is the splatter from 670-KBOI or 680-KNBR (guessing this one)? And I would have thought the ±1 kHz filter should have eliminated all traces of it from 5 kHz away? 7-14 - 684 NZ Rhema - what was that noise from at the beginning that quieted down after a couple seconds? Also I'm guessing the splatter is KNBR? 7-14 - 738 R Polynesie - I would have liked to hear a few seconds of the splatter they were putting on KCBS. :) 7-14 - 765 R Kahungunu - would my strongest nighttime local (760 KFMB, 7.3 mi NW, 50 kW DA, 81 dBµ) be too much for this to overcome? 7-14 - 891 5AN - wow that's a pretty nice signal for the distance! :) I think midway through I'm hearing another station in the background - is that something else on 891 (which I'm guessing due to the rhythmic fade that you get when you have two near-frequency stations coming in), or off-frequency reception of a domestic on 890 (guessing not this cause the het would be much louder, unless you tamed it in an editor before you posted it)? And I must have a different definition of crunch test than you do? :) Here's a couple videos of me doing crunch tests on my PL-606 on 1170 KCBQ, going from barefoot to boosted with SAT + utility ground, including some shortwave harmonics: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE2n94DLDak - 9.2 miles S of transmitter • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEMLcEqCu3E - 0.1 mi SW of transmitter I would assume that receiving 2CH Sydney from that 2nd video's location would be very tough. ;) You may notice that the signal with the SAT + utility wire from 9 miles away is stronger than the barefoot signal from a few hundred feet away. Does the 15 FSL give a comparable level of boost? 7-15 - 657 Southern Star - this would be at least one station I'd like to be able to listen to from here, as I like Christian music. (Speaking of which, could you confirm whether 1460-KARR is off the air? I heard they were going to go off.) 7-16 - 531 PI - this would be another desired target (I like the music, also in the 7-13 recording - is it a Christian station? although I don't know the song don't understand the language). I have a local on 540 (XESURF) but at only ~55 dBµ or so it shouldn't be too much of a pest hopefully? Although, it does hamper my reception of the fringe TIS I sometimes receive on 530,

[IRCA] DX Tests
---BeginMessage--- DX TESTS Brandon Jordan – PO Box 338 – Rossville TN 38066 E-mail: bdjo...@gmail.com Brandon Jordan is our new DX Tests co-ordinator, working for both IRCA and NRC. He has established the above PO Box/email for correspondence. He is also available at 901-592-9847 or FAX: 866-240-4221. Brandon has registered dxtests.net url and will be working on getting a Wordpress blog set up there in preparation for the upcoming season. He is also anticipating former DX Test workers to be assisting him in his efforts. In addition, he is also considering arranging DX tests on SW stations. DX Tests are “arranged” with various AM stations across the US and Canada. A DX Test broadcast would most likely be conducted sometime in the overnight hours, between midnight and 6:00 am typically just after midnight, or just prior to 6 am. These are the best hours for an AM station to skip to distant locations. DX Test broadcasts used to be popular during the early days of AM radio, and they continue to this day. When done overnight, they’re perfectly within FCC regulations, as is broadcasting with full authorized power under the Experimental Hours rules of 47CFR73.72. In fact, stations have often combined DX Tests with needed maintenance work or proof-of-performance testing, and engineers have often told us that the reception reports they received indicated the quality and strength of their signal, and gave them an opportunity to see how far it travels under varying conditions. Tests typically consist of tones and easily identifiable music such as marches, polkas or anything else you might classify as eclectic. This kind of material really cuts through the interference and makes a station easily recognizable. Morse code identifications using a 1000 Hz modulated tone are also widely used. Recordings for broadcast during a DX Test can be provided by our committee. Please join us in welcoming Brandon on-board for the next DX season. We anticipate hearing from him often.

[IRCA] Moving towards better DXing
After 20+ years living in an apartment and condo, my wife and I have bought a house out in the burbs with a BIG back yard and the potential for some REAL antennas. Although my ham radio operating has been awesome all those years, using stealth antennas, my MW and LW Dxing has not achieved its true potential because of antenna limitations on a 7th story balcony in a concrete and steel building. The new 'hood has underground utilities and on initial tests and inspections prior to purchase, it was pretty darned quiet. I look forward to finally being able to roll up my sleeves and work with the Big Boys of the Northwest; Salmaniw, Hall-Patch, Atkins, Portzer and DeBock... the Rolling Stones of the DX World up here.

Re: [IRCA] Moving towards better DXing
Well - from my condo which is on a hill top with water views AND 275' above average terrain -- My QRZ.com page lists over 600 QSO between 2009 and present. I have not put everything in QRZ.com and I figure I have had around 2000 QSO since my ham career started in 2008 or 2009. With 10W (all mode) but mostly SSB, I have worked around 50 countries. I have upgraded my ICOM 703+ (which I have kept for back up...) to a Kenwood TS-480SAT (100 Watts - All mode) I look forward to using my Drake R8, Kenwood R2000, Eton E1 with real antennas -- and firing up my venerable DX150B after 30 years of relative inactivity. Back in 1976 I use to DX with Nick Hall Patch during that stellar DX season and it picked up Europe night after night with a 300' Inverted L terminating at the 75' level of a Douglas Fir Tree... I have pictures of this antenna that I should post one day. They were the good old days -- hope they return!

[IRCA] TP for 17 July, Gabriola Island
A quick trip to Gabriola Island while Gary and Chuck were working the cliffs, with I imagine, completely different results. I was monitoring the DX Fishbarrel in Victoria while DXing here; Victoria was hearing Tahiti 738 at audible levels, while Gabriola was barely getting a carrier using a KAZ antenna with a FLG100 amplifier, so I expected that Zedders might be missing, and I was not surprised. Things faded out fairly quickly here after 1200UT, and before, it was all Asia. HLAZ 1566 had two women in CC at 1152UT at completely readable levels, and 1287 had a man in JJ.NHK pips were barely heard at 1200UT on 594 and 828, plus, even more barely, 1503. Otherwise, lots of carriers in the usual spots, 774, 972, 1053, 1179, 1269 etc., but little audio.And no audio and few carriers at all from DU as sunrise approached. best wishes, Nick -- -- Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada n...@ieee.org ___ 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
