[IRCA] TP 7 Aug Victoria version
Probably a good morning on the coast...oh, wait Oddly, the hot part of the band here was the higher frequencies, not the lower ones that Gary reported, and here things peaked by 1240UT, and were pretty much done by 1300UT. Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 738 likely Tahiti, Latin sounding pop vocals 1148UT, woman in FF 1201UT, sounded like Indian pop at 1242UT 1566 unID man DU English 1238UT, lots of numbers, with individuals' names, sports scores? Sometimes sounded excited enough to be live sports. Mentions of "tackles" points to rugger? This was one of the more regular channels, but darned if I could hear any ID while dipping through the half hour or so that it was fading up to readable levels. Didn't sound like 3NE, though a couple of mentions of Australia. Is the NZ here really Chinese? not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 891 man giving numbers in DU English, maybe 4TAB, but at 1239UT didn't seem //1539 1539 man carrying on in DU English, horse racing? 1239UT 1593 islandish pop music 1240UT 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) 1161 man talking DU English? 1222UT 1314 man talking 1232UT, DU English? 1386 Indian? vocal music 1236UT 1422 man talking DU English inflection, 1225UT 1503 female vocal pop music 1226UT 1611 woman talking 1235UT 1674 man talking 1242UT 1701 big hum, woman talking 1242UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 612 621 675 702 756 828 855 1116 1179 1206 1215 1278 1296 1323 1341 1467 1476 1512 1575 1629 1638 1665 1683 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
[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 7 August 2015
Although reception here certainly won't be confused with Rockwork 4, there were a few tidbits for the first time in several days. All were unID, though I suspect most were New Zealand: 1314 - traces of talk by man and woman at 1139 1386 - Very poor, but bits of music noted at 1141. 1476 - the barest of audio traces at 1140 1503 - Talk between 2 men at 1141. Sounded consistent with Radio Sport. 1566 - Traces of man and woman talking at 1142 1575 - Woman talking at 1140. Could tell it was English, but that was about it. Listened from 1130 to 1200, but signals all peaked around 1140. Local sunrise is currently 1201. Several other strong carriers too, with 1413 being the best that didn't reach audio. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB ___ 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] 1566 Benin
A presumed 1566-Benin carrier has been in here the past two evenings. Starting around 22:00 MDT and ending around 23:30. Shows up well on the Perseus waterfall in zoom mode. Of course never coming near to producing audio. Maybe one of these days I’ll be able to positively ID it. It’s in again this evening. Will check the recording later.

[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 8-7 (Conclusion)
Hello All, New Zealand signals went on a rampage at the Rockwork 4 ocean cliff this morning from 1250-1320 UTC, bringing astonishment to three fanatical Puget Sound DXers (Chuck, Tom and I) who were lucky enough to show up on this date. Although I had already experienced 25 DU-DXing sessions at this awesome site, the potent Kiwi propagation this morning was a stunner-- even for me. Tom R. was waiting in his vehicle as I drove up in the total darkness at 1145 UTC, followed shortly thereafter by Chuck. We had the entire turnoff to ourselves, and were each able to set up our antennas exactly as we desired (without working around "sleeping squatters"). Propagation took a while to kick into high gear, and as late as 1230 it seemed like an average mix of NZ and Oz might be the order of the day. Suddenly around 1240 the floodgates to New Zealand swung wide open, and stations like 603-Waatea, 675-RNZ, 702-Magic and 765-Kahungunu (2.5 kW) were soon testing the crunch resistance of my $50 C.Crane Skywave Ultralight (boosted somewhat by a 17" Mega-FSL antenna). Chuck came over and remarked how he was getting a DU carrier on every 9 kHz split frequency he tried, including the X-band up to 1701 kHz. Tom was also checking Kiwi carrier strength at the time, and seemed awestruck at the situation. I was tuning around like mad, recording S9+ signals on 567, 702, 738 and 765, as well as potent ones on other frequencies. After propagation fizzled out around 1340 we gathered around to discuss the experience-- feeling something like the winning football team in the Super Bowl. Chuck remarked about how I should post Kiwi signal MP3's from the session-- as if I needed any additional motivation to do so! 567 RNZ Wellington, NZ Potent big-band music during propagation enhancement at 1256, // equally strong 675 https://app.box.com/s/7izpqsrp9lvof7qx91u0fv17d723417t 702 Magic Auckland, NZ S9+ oldies station pounding in during Kiwi propagation rush at 1257; totally obliterating 2BL https://app.box.com/s/pp1s7eaccs1dvx36tr2hgoo79dj13bdu 738 R.

[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 8-7 (Preliminary)
Hello All, Tom, Chuck and I enjoyed one of the wildest New Zealand sessions ever this morning as Kiwi propagation went into overdrive from 1250-1320, causing almost every NZ signal to raise up to unprecedented levels. With the propagation peak centered on the 1300 TOH, Tom and Chuck had ideal conditions for their Perseus-SDR spectrum capture. Although I was DXing with Ultralight radios and FSL antennas the Kiwi bonanza was obvious to me also, with this incredible signal from the 2.5 kW (!) Auckland Maori language station 765-Radio Kahungunu at 1253-- featuring a "Waatea" Maori network ID. More recordings and a full report will follow! https://app.box.com/s/n7mrx09thh66fib20aqw5gxve8eglp1k 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Rockaway Beach, OR) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 17" DXpedition 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
