[IRCA] TP 24 Aug Victoria version
Like Nigel said, this evening's TA's outshone this morning's TP's, pretty well exclusively Asian. It was an odd morning however, very splashy, and the stations heard would fade up suddenly to quite good levels, then fade down again. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 972 HLCA woman in KK, then a musical interlude followed by two men in KK 1252UT 1287 JOHR two women talking JJ 1152UT 1566 HLAZ man in JJ 1240UT (some audio from the earlier CC program, but poorer than this) Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1053 KK jammer 1250UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1575 Thailand? oriental string and vocal mx 1251UT 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) : 774 man talking, DU EE?1247UT, very hard to tell in splash Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 702 945 1143 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] coastal TAs...
The final tally here, beyond 1215 strutting its stuff, was two poor audios, 1089 and 1206, 891 with a big carrier and no audio, and further carriers on 711 1044 1107 1116 1422 and 1584, beyond the others previously mentioned.

Re: [IRCA] coastal TAs...
Judging by the briefly very nice strength here on 1215 (http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/1215--20140825_043508.wav), there may be possibilities already Barry. On the other hand 0430UT is a little early in your part of the world (but the Perseus never sleeps, right?) best wishes, Nick At 10:46 25-08-14, you wrote: Fingers crossed Nick it holds out for the actual season North of the equator.

Never checked until late because of earlier arrangements, but TAs were in here too. Many frequencies showed faint carriers. Poor audio on 1215 and 1566 only. 1215 was probably the UK, but I don't know who was on 1566 as I have never logged a TA here, but could have been Iran.

Re: [IRCA] coastal TAs...
Thanks Sylvain. Yes it was after 03:15UTC and I did think of Benin, but didn't think it was likely as it would have been around local sunrise in Iran, plus I've logged Iran on several other frequencies. The audio was very poor so I couldn't ID the language or programming. But who knows?

Re: [IRCA] coastal TAs...
Checking my Perseus recording last night at 0402, 1566.000 shows a decent carrier (pretty close, I haven't calibrated in a while) but no audio.. At the same time 1503 has a very weak het.

I heard them in 1986 from El Paso, TX (Residence Inn near airport) on a Sony '2010 with then-KOMA 1520 nulled. 1521 starts peeling the paint off the wall this time of year here in MA. Often the loudest TA and frequently good 2+ hours pre-sunset at beach sites.

[IRCA] KHAC 880 NM seems to be all USB
I spent last week at my 2nd home in Grafton WI to hopefully DX, but T-storm QRM didn't allow much. I did note KHAC 880 o/u Gospel from KLRG on my DU BOG (480 ft at 243 deg) on my 1100 UTC (7 am EDT) recording with a nice ID Monday morning 8/18. All the audio seems to be on USB as there's basically no trace on LSB. It was hetted at times by a 882 carrier which I presume was from Oz but never has come within 5 dB of what I feel is needed for trace audio. Only DU audible was Tahiti for a minute or so just prior to SR at 1055 with a gal I could tell was speaking French and then into mx. Low band Oz wasn't in well as there was no SAH on 738 and 702, which often gives me trace audio was clearly too weak. 73 KAZ Grafton WI ___ 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

Here's a quick summary of what was audible last night in southern Alberta.

There might be a few more when I have a chance to check the recording. I had to double check the calendar every so often to remind me this was August. Several of those channels I haven't heard TA action on since 2009.

[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Cape Perpetua) Ultralight TP's and DU's for 8-25

Both Asian and DU signals were very strong this morning, with the Asians conveniently leaving the band right at sunrise to make way for the DU's. First of all, thanks very much to Chuck, Theo, Guy and all others who listened to the 639 mystery MP3 from yesterday, and dug out the DU English and ABC identity clues. The station was back again this morning at a better level around 1345, and definitely is Australian (i.e. not // 675). It didn't stick around for very long, though. The narrow Highway 101 turnoff had clear skies and an awesome display of stars at the 1110 UTC start time, with the Chinese and Koreans ruling the roost as the Japanese big guns were a little off from their usual strength. A bizarre fade in from a Chinese station on 558 (with no apparent HLQH or JOCR) made things interesting around 1135. The Chinese and Koreans hit their peak strength from 1230-1300, with 1593-CNR1 providing a blowtorch signal at the 1300 TOH. A major South Pacific rally started shortly thereafter, with numerous Kiwi stations (531, 594, 603, 657, 675 and 684) dispatching the Asians on their frequencies, and 675-RNZ reaching a best-ever level. After a short pause the Australians joined in the DU rally, with the big guns on 576, 792 and 891 hitting potent levels. The mystery Aussie talker on 639 was a prime target and it was fairly decent around 1342, but nosedived shortly thereafter. On the other hand,the Kiwis on 675 and 684 both managed slightly better signals than they did during the entire Rockwork 4 DXpedition last month, although a search for last month's really obscure NZ catches (on 576, 585 and 936) came up empty. It was nice to hear some pretty vibrant Australian signals again, after their meager performance last month.

[IRCA] Call for DX Test Ephemera
Dear NRC and IRCA members-- Greetings from your new DX Test Coordinator. I believe we have been without any DX Test coordination for a few years, so do not expect too much this first year. Notice the Coordinator title, no more Chairmen. My sole experience at this, besides being a consumer of DX Tests, is hosting the hosting the old DXTests.Info web site. No miracles happening here, at least without YOUR help. I am working on the following media: Web site: http://dxtests.net/ Twitter: @AMDXTests Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/AM-Radio-DX-Tests/237526606438016 (please like) Now that is out of the way... I am looking for a few things: 1. Most importantly, volunteers to reach out to your CE contacts to set up tests, duh. 2. Historical IRCA/NRC DX Test/CPC brochures/documents/ephemera. 3. DX Test QSL card/letter scans Regarding #1, rest assured that the person who initiates a test will get full credit. Too many test credit hijacks have happened in the past decade to the detriment of everyone chasing DX Tests. That stops here. You will get kudos for your hard work. Make the initial contact, point them here for coordination and you will get full credit. Regarding #2, we need any and all CPC/DX Test documentation. I have already received some excellent documents from a past CPC/DX Test Chairman and I know there has to be much more out there. Scan, copy, fax what ever and send it on. The more we have on the web site, the better for the folks at the stations to see this is a long tradition and not some random nonsense. Regarding #3, not much needs to be said besides scan your QSLs and send them in. See #2. Most importantly, I am looking for the past CPC/DX Test chairman/coordinators to pitch in with your expertise. 73, Brandon ___ 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] coastal TAs...
For the northwest people there is a semi-local or two on 1520, Mark, and usually by the time we hear TA's fade in, there's lots of skywave to wreak havoc as well. When I've checked, there's never been a carrier, but I probably should ignore the sense of futility and check more! What do the Alberta guys say? best wishes, Nick Why not Benin for 1566? Or, for that matter, UK? I'm surprised that the western TA reports aren't mentioning the 1521 Saudi. I heard them in 1986 from El Paso, TX (Residence Inn near airport) on a Sony '2010 with then-KOMA 1520 nulled. 1521 starts peeling the paint off the wall this time of year here in MA. Often the loudest TA and frequently good 2+ hours pre-sunset at beach sites.

Not very inspiring this morning, especially after the high of the TAs last night: 774 JOUB, Japan weak Japanese at 1150 828 JOBB, Japan weak Japanese at 1150, about the same level as 774 972 HLCA, Korea Not quite as good as yesterday, but a little stronger than the two Japanese. 1566 HLAZ Korea Best TP of the morning, with poor-fair audio at 1154.

Bruce was correct; that was a stinker of a morning. The ionospheric gods dumped their load at Cape Perpetua and went home. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 came close actually...very briefly Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1566 HLAZ woman in JJ 1250UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1566 passing through 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? vocals with island rhythm 1149UT 1053 KK jammer 1259UT Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 972 1008 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
