[IRCA] TP 20 July Victoria version
The Zedders apparently went home with Gary. A small amount of Asian audio was the compensation. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): hey, it's July, and it's inland Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): still July not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: even this category was July'ish today 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) : 738 Tahiti likely, pop mx 1212UT 972 man talking 1123UT; not strong enough for a language guess, but time of reception points to Korea 1287 man talking 1126UT, guessing JOHR 1566 HLAZ likely, woman talking, CC inflection 1157UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 819 1008 1116 best wishes, Nick ___ I ___ 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] PI-531
Gary, that is indeed a monstrous signal. Of great interest to me, however, was the signal underneath with which PI was beating. I presume it was an Aussie but I couldn't pull anything intelligible out. Very nice!

[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 7-19
--- Begin Message --- Hello All, Well, Nick certainly wasn't wrong about the Kiwi stations going on a romp at the ocean coast today. Several of them (594, 603, 1017 and 1386) managed their best signals of the entire week, while 1017-A3Z in Tonga finally had a late sign off around 1205, rising in and out of splatter from a Spanish domestic pest on 1020. This was the last day of the Rockwork 4 DXpedition, and it certainly seemed like one of the best. At the 1100 UTC start time it was obvious that 1017-Tonga was still on the frequency, although splatter from the 1020-Spanish pest made reception dicey. Tonga was showing up only about 20% of the time, with the usual male and female voices slowly speaking a foreign language on "island time" (bizarre pauses between sentences). I was able to make a few MP3's as the station rose above the splatter occasionally, but hopes of making a nice recording of the sign off (like Bill W.'s awesome recording at Grayland last year) were dashed as the Spanish pest went on the warpath after 1200. In any case, 1017-Tonga was the fifth DU country to be received during the DXpedition, after NZ, Australia, Tahiti and Fiji. Kiwi stations were extremely potent after 1200, with 531-PI equaling its "strongest DU signal ever" level at 1230, and both 594-NZ Rhema and 603-r.Waatea pegging the PL-380 S/N with awesome signals around 1255. The 2.5 kW Kiwi station on 1017 was potent indeed at 1241, while the Australian big guns 702-2BL and 774-3LO made their first appearances. South Australian blaster 891-5AN once again pegged the PL-380 S/N at 1313, while about 15 other Kiwis and Aussies managed audio on the wild morning. Altogether the 7-day DXpedition at the sheer ocean cliff site was one of the most thrilling experiences any DXer could possibly have, and I'm happy that Perseus-SDR DXer Chuck was able to share in the fun on a couple of days. The new 15" DXpedition FSL made DU-DXing a lot of fun, and provided a new level of sensitivity to chase even the most obscure Kiwi stations. 531 PI Auckland, NZ (5 kW) This awesome Samoan-language Kiwi station pegged the PL-380 S/N on all 7 days this week, and finished off the DXpedition with this monster signal at 1230, equaling its "strongest DU ever" level http://www.mediafire.com/listen/bpi940b1byig1eo/531-PI-1230z071914PL380.MP3 594 NZ-Rhema Timaru/ Wanagnui, NZ (5 kW/ 2 kW) Low-powered Christian network pegging the PL-380 S/N with a monster signal at 1252; this was the strongest signal ever received from this network in 10 ocean coast DXpeditions http://www.mediafire.com/listen/zvag6239o66cyb9/594-NZ.Rhema-1252z071914PL380.MP3 603 Radio Waatea Auckland, NZ (5 kW) Pegging the PL-380 S/N at 1250 with pop music and Maori ID; strongest signal from this Maori language station all week long http://www.mediafire.com/listen/6qo8rndrtzl8st8/603-R.Waatea-1258z071914PL380.MP3 792 4RN Brisbane, Australia (25 kW) First appearance all week for this RN network big gun with female interview // 567 at 1302; no sign of the Kiwi co-channel Radio Sport, which held down the frequency for most of the week http://www.mediafire.com/listen/htpkj3w3iitcq7t/792-4RN-1302z071914PL380.MP3 891 5AN Adelaide, Australia (50 kW) LR network big gun managing another huge signal with pop music and male- female interview at 1313, pegging the PL-380 S/N for the second time this week http://www.mediafire.com/listen/l3u9l8u6ugfgnwf/891-5AN-1313z071914PL380.MP3 1017 A3Z Nuku'alofa, Tonga (10 kW) The usual foreign-language male speaker rising up out of 1020 splatter at 1154 (headphones recommended) http://www.mediafire.com/listen/el5z3pufpapaf3n/1017-A3Z-1154z071914PL380.MP3 Good-level interval music and the same male speaker at 1158 before the 1020 Spanish pest reclaimed the frequency http://www.mediafire.com/listen/apvnigvqwyg0vin/1017-A3Z-1158z071914PL380.MP3 1017 Radio Sport/ Newstalk ZB Christchurch, NZ (2.5 kW) Excellent signal from this low-powered Kiwi station at 1241; female voice advertisement end end of MP3 with "right here in New Zealand" http://www.mediafire.com/listen/ftuh8lufktz38ta/1017-R.Sport-NewstalkZB-1241z071914PL380.MP3 1386 Radio Tarana Auckland, NZ (10 kW) Female-voiced Hindu music at fair-good level around 1311; best signal managed during the DXpedition http://www.mediafire.com/listen/yq91aqyr2upm943/1386-R.Tarana-1311z071914PL380.MP3 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (back in Puyallup, WA, USA) DXing at the Rockwork 4 ocean cliff site in Tillamook Co., OR http://www.mediafire.com/view/2jtmctq7as7448o/Rockwork-Sites-003.jpg 7.5" loopstick Tecsun PL-380 Ultralight + New 15" DXpedition FSL antenna http://www.mediafire.com/view/7bkbc9rzg2koq2k/15inchDXFS
