[IRCA] TP 28 Oct Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Sunrise enhancement this morning was DOAbut there were a few DUs 
an hour or so before.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


nope


Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


and nope




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


603 pop music 1332UT. Waatea?
738 Tahiti assumed, "Girl from Ipanema" 1328UT, not //702



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)


612 4QR woman in DU English? 1322UT, much splash but //702
756 man talking DU English inflection 1330UT, no parallel found
846 man mumbling, then woman, possibly DU English? 1411UT
1116 woman talking, maybe on phone? DU English inflection? 1336UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter) lots of near audio here


594 747 855 882 891 909



best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] KRPU-1210

[Dennis Gibson]

There are no STAs for KMIA in the FCC database. It is licensed to operate from 
separate day and night sites. It applied for a CP to move the night operation 
to the day site and reduce night power from 10 kW to 1.1 kW. The application 
was accepted for filing on December 24, 2014 but it doesn't show that the CP 
was ever granted. It usually doesn't take anywhere near this long to grant or 
dismiss a CP. Maybe it was granted and the night operation moved to the day 
site but the database isn't up to date. 

Coincidentally KRPU also operates from separate day and night sites.

Re: [IRCA] New verie

[martinfoltz]

Thanks Mike, probably my best GY catch. I only heard five 30 second ads just 
before ToH. Then they faded just before ID. Listened on the Sony Walkman so no 
recording. I did write down notes because it seemed different. Glad I did. 
Research on an area code from one ad and an address from another pointed to 
Klamath Falls OR.

I've been hearing CBS Sports Radio programming occasionally for maybe 2-3 
minutes and thought it was KLOA Ridgecrest. After this, I see KRJW is CBS 
Sports so it looks like no KLOA. Glad I didn't assume it and add it to the log.

[IRCA] KRPU-1210

[Pete Taylor]

For more than a week, I have easily been able to loop out local KMIA Auburn in 
favor of KRPU-1210 Rocklin CA right around 7pm PDT. The full EE ID overrides 
Punjabi programming and is always punctual. KRPU usually disappears by 7:05. I 
believe I read where KMIA is on an STA for some reason and is operating at 
reduced power at night. Usually it is impenetrable. Tonight’s reception was on 
a bare DX-398.

We had it so bad in Victoria, it was like listening to a shoe box with wire 
wrapped around it or a rolled up newspaper. 

612 or 702? Luxury! 

Our dials were devoid of signals, audio or heterodynes of any kind.

Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] Re: 1650 "SAC" Morse Code oddity?

[Mark Pettifor]

I am hearing it again as well. Two other stations are there also, one 
with Mark Levin and the other pretty weak, but heard Indian 
(subcontinent) music, and non-EE yl announcer (maybe Toronto?)


South DKAZ, without amplification.

Was quite strong at my local sunset @2245, but weak now @ 2255.

The LSB signal seems to be slightly stronger than the USB one, by about 
5db or so.


2257 - now it's completely gone. Things change pretty rapidly around 
sunset, eh?


2300 - ID for the Mark Levin station: WHKT (Portsmouth VA).

Signal still gone, 15 min. after local sunset.

Mark in Goshen, IN

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 28 October 2016

[Nigel Pimblett]

   The recent doldrums continued today, with a grand total of 1 station 
reaching audio:



1116	4BC	Brisbane, AUSTRALIA	Time pips at 1200, 4BC ID, then Macquarie 
National News read by a woman.


Quite a few carriers around at 1200, but by 1404 sunrise there was 
virtually no trace of even any carriers.Tomorrow has to be better, 
doesn't it???

Re: [IRCA] [UPDATE] 1650 "SAC" Morse Code oddity

[Tim Tromp]

Les,

Thanks for following up with Southern Avionics.  These guys were my first
suspect late last night when I first heard this mystery beacon on 1650 but
we can rule them out now.  Now that more people are aware of it, it'll be
interesting if it appears again tonight.  I can't provide any good bearing
from my location, only to confirm that it was best on my South D-KAZ.
Based on your DF reading, maybe an oil rig platform out in the Gulf
somewhere?  I dunno but I like a good mystery too!

73,
-Tim

I would've very interested if anyone in the Pacific Northwest can hear it.
Reports so far have mainly been from the Midwest and east coasts

[IRCA] [UPDATE] 1650 "SAC" Morse Code oddity

[Les Rayburn]

I figured the easiest way to eliminate Southern Avionics Co. from the list of 
“suspects” would be to simply call them. Spoke with Derick Moore in their 
Technical Development department. He confirmed that SAC has been testing an NDB 
on 325 KHz for the past few days, but that beacon is transmitting MSK data—not 
CW. It’s running at an output power of 150 watts. 

The third harmonic of that transmitter would be 1625 KHz, but the modulation is 
all wrong. 

Mr. Moore was very interested in our mystery, but couldn’t offer any solid 
suggestions on who or where the transmissions might be coming from. 

As Scooby-Doo used to say, “rut row”

I think we’ve got a mystery here, gang. 

73,

Les Rayburn, N1LF

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1650 "SAC" Morse Code oddity

[Les Rayburn]

I used to be very active in long wave DXing, and chasing NDB’s. This didn’t 
sound like a harmonic to me at all—but rather the primary. It was competing 
very well indeed with the broadcast stations on frequency. For me it DF’ed to 
the South and Southeast not all towards Texas.

 It
 is probably some sort of a harmonic of a beacon that has
 been reported on 320 and 325 khz.  The offset of this
 beacon has been reported at either 398 or 400 hz above and
 below center frequency.  It supposedly belongs to Southern
 Avionics and the location is Beaumont Texas.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-28-- NOT!

[R. Colin Newell]

We had it so bad in Victoria, it was like listening to a shoe box with wire
wrapped around it or a rolled up newspaper.

612 or 702? Luxury!

Our dials were devoid of signals, audio or heterodynes of any kind.

Ah, but we had it tough. We dreamed of being in Puyallup with Gary,
standing in the cold and the rain
with our ULR's and FSL's pressed to our ears, shivering while listening to
Pyongyang. That would
have been paradise compared to Victoria.

Re: [IRCA] S. AZ TPs, Friday 10/28 (very poor)

Due to an early morning meeting in Enid, I was unable to listen this morning.  
So I’m happy to see I probably didn’t missed anything.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-28-- NOT!

[d1028gary]

No Asian audio or even carriers showed up here in this DU-dead zone this 
morning, resulting in another total shutout. Most likely the Victoria DXers 
will at least come away with audio on 612 and 702, but the only DU audio 
available here is on MP3's from summer visits to Rockwork 4 . The file review 
"compensation" from this morning is 5 minutes of Maori choral music from 
603-Waatea during Kiwi "ground wave" like propagation at 1235 on July 5th 
https://app.box.com/s/ov2c6nrh158oaujtfbgh2n3cuavzq1wl Congratulations to Colin 
for receiving the same station in Victoria recently.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1650 "SAC" Morse Code oddity

[longwave]

It is probably some sort of a harmonic of a beacon that has been reported on 
320 and 325 khz. The offset of this beacon has been reported at either 398 or 
400 hz above and below center frequency. It supposedly belongs to Southern 
Avionics and the location is Beaumont Texas.

When I see the letters "SAC," I think of "Strategic Air Command." Doubt 
there's any connection but just wanted to bring that up.
