Great logs and certainly a wider variety of TA's than what I'm getting.  I did 
just go downstairs to check 1530 VOA Sao Tome 10 p.m. EST / 0300 UTC sign-on 
and sure enough Yankee Doodle was mixing with WCKY.  Other than that, typical 
UK and Spain stations were good but none of that deep Africa stuff..


Based on your description the 702 I heard a while back probably was Iran since 
it had a military-sounding march or anthem followed by Koranic chanting..



The webpage gives good targets for all of us here on the East Coast.  Great to 
see info getting out in a timely fashion, quite unlike some other DXpeditions 
we know about.


Any Latin American DX yet?


Quite a bit of static the last couple of nights ... sounds like August ... not 
sure from where since 34 deg. F / 1 C and partly cloudy doesn't seem like 
T-storm weather.


Is anybody else here in MA DXing?  Reports from the Cape and metro-Boston have 
been sort of scanty.


I'm still thinking of a Wednesday early evening outing, likely to the Orleans 
site.

[IRCA] Alberta TA carriers

[Nigel Pimblett]

  Several TA carriers around this evening:

1584, 1575, 1574.96, 1503, 1413, 1386

None are threatening audio, but it's the nearest in quite some time.  No 
doubt the coming CME will silence them by tomorrow night.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 7 November 2016

[Nigel Pimblett]

 Very unusually, my results today closely paralleled Gary's.  Some 
Asian signals at the top end of the band, and a dearth of even decent 
carriers on the lower half. For Gary that was a step down, but here 
it was a step up, as yesterday was a shutout as far as DU/TP signals went.



1503unIDTraces of audio with man talking at 1342

1566HLAZCheju, S.KOREAFair, with woman in Japanese at
1314.  Improved to good by 1340, and still there at
1400 when I had to head out the door.

1593NHK2, JAPAN Man talking at 1357.  NHK time pips at 1400,
with another set in the background.


Interestingly 1575 had two carriers.  Presumed VOA was almost in audio 
at times, with another carrier noted slightly on the low side.  1386, 
1413, and 1422 were also in the "almost audio" category.

Re: [IRCA] First report from Murray Harbour, PEI

[Paul Crankshaw]

Hi Walt

Yes, you are correct.  I should have checked a more official source than 
this.


http://radiomap.eu/uk/play/bbc_merseyside

I wouldn't expect BBC Radio Cumbria to make any references to Liverpool 
in normal programming. I checked today at 0900 and I heard BBC Radio 
Newcastle - it's just a pity I wasn't recording yesterday.


You can hear yesterday's BBC Radio Cumbria 0600-0903 programme here, 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04cl75s ending with traffic and news 
just after 02:58 on the recording.  The announcement at toth is


"On FM, AM online and on Freeview. The heart of the county for more than 
40 years, this is BBC Radio Cumbria"  Could that be what you heard?

Excellent report Walter.

Bruce Conti has a DXpedition website up:
http://www.bamlog.com/2016pedx.htm

Interesting to see 845 (rather than 846) Eritrea.

1566 Benin has always been a tough pull here with 1560 NY and 1570 QC making a 
rather huge slop sandwich most nights.

1458 Gibraltar has tentatively made it to Tonset Rd. Orleans and Granite Pier 
Rockport but I have no at-house loggings yet.

You definitely have the advantage on the more northerly routes (eastern Europe, 
deep Middle East) since my run from the house around 45 deg. is over about 16 
km / 10 miles of sandy pitch pine forest before hitting the ocean in the 
Orleans - Eastham area.

Oman and Moldova are just not going to have much traction on 1413 with RNE 
Spain co-channel on a more southerly route with somewhat less land in the way.

Interesting on the Sao Tome report since they recently lost one of the towers 
and are now running non-directional.  Signal at 0300 UTC here seems weaker 
versus WCKY than previously.

Of the stations listed, 783 Mauritania - being southerly - is often smokin' 
loud here too.

Last night I did take a listen and found that UK, Spain, and Canaries stations 
were doing well but nothing new or rare in the mix.  1431 has been all 
Djibouti.  2000 UTC is still a bit early here, especially with nearby power 
lines (rather than antenna / receiver) setting the noise floor.  The previously 
most reliable early signal - 1521 Saudi - is out of service now so there's less 
to go on pre-sunset especially away from the immediate shoreline.  Even at 2100 
UTC there isn't too much coming in, just the major Brits, Spain, Algeria (531, 
549, 981, 1422), Morocco (612), Canaries (621, 1008), W. Sahara (711), 
Mauritania (783), and France TWR (1467).  Not as much from the Middle East: 
1575 UAE is reliably there on the spectrum plot but it gets absolutely hammered 
by the 1570 WMVX / CJLV slop monster: stations off the side of the cardioid 
rather than the rear, hence not nulled very much.

Wishing to spice things up - weather permitting - I may DX out of the car at 
Orleans or Eastham, MA Wednesday around sunset.  Plan would be to take Perseus 
captures starting around 3 p.m. EST / 2000 UTC and wrap up at 6 p.m. EST / 2300 
UTC.  Live DXing (allowing shortwave parallel checking and strategy adjustment) 
will be done between the captures.  I may bring a conventional radio (Palstar 
R30?) as back-up in case of any problems with the PC or Perseus.  Even though 
the car-roof loop is only 2m x 2m, I am sure that, at the beach site, there 
will be DX that seldom / never shows up at the house, half an hour's drive away.

A good start to our DXpedition to this farmhouse in south-eastern PEI.
Joined by well-known DXers Bruce Conti, Neil Wolfish, Brent Taylor, and
Nick Hall-Patch, I felt like a newbie with such a profusion of TA and
African targets. The star antenna, IMHO, is the DKAZ erected by Nick aimed
60 degrees, in many instances outperforming a 1500' Beverage/BOG in the
same direction, and vastly superior to corner fed super loop. 73, Walt
Salmaniw


BENIN 1566, 2208-, TWR Africa Nov 6 Up to very good reception of TWR Africa
in French with IDs and postal address at 22:09. Then an interesting
sounding IS twice (not the usual TWR), and into an English ID as TWR
Benin. Rapidly faded down into oblivion. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

ERITREA 845, 0318-, Dimtsi Hafash 2 Nov 7 A very nice dawn enhancement
noted over east Africa with typical Horn of Africa music. Not as strong as
Sudan on 765 (and 1296) but still very listenable. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour
PEI)

GIBRALTAR 1458, 2355-, Radio Gibraltar Nov 5 Very nice reception, and // to
their internet feed, but of course, fading down and now cochannel to
several other stations. Time check for 12:00 in English, so likely a UK
station. But came back with a nice 'Radio Gibralatar' jingle ID at 00:02.
(Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

GREENLAND 720, 0440-, KNR Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa Nov 7 Excellent
reception in Greenlandic. Almost sounded a bit like south Pacific islands
music for a bit! Parallel to their internet feed found at:
http://tunein.com/radio/Kalaallit-Nunaata-Radioa-720-s102522/ A little
later, was replaced by the BBCWS, likely from Lisnagarvery with listed 10
kW. Latter at fair/good level. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

IRELAND 1494, 0337-, Nonstop 90s Nov 6 This just has to be Ireland with
clearly accented English then into music. Fades down to nothing at times,
though. Only one that makes sense to me! Checked the online receiver at
the University of Twente, and sure enough, it's them. Mostly music, but
with announcements in English clearly (more or less) heard. I'm very
pleased with this catch. 

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-7

[d1028gary]

Asian propagation was limited to the high band here this morning, taking a step 
backward even from yesterday's lackluster results. 1566-HLAZ managed far audio 
in and out from 1350-1410, while 1593 had a moderate carrier which came close 
to audio at times. 1575 had a ghostly carrier around the same time as the 
previous two, but that was it for TP propagation during the session, with 
nothing on either the low or middle band showing up. Even 738-Tahiti stayed 
down in the noise.

Good point, Nigel.   I had forgotten about them.  Are they parallel to the
LW transmitters?  Barcelona would be a major impediment to hearing them.
Just checking a wav file from 01:00, and it's a mish mash of several
stations, with Spain dominating.  Checked a few recordings from 01:00 to
our local morning and nothing definite so far.  73,  Walt

[Nigel Pimblett]

  Thanks for the interesting report Walt, and am glad to see that 
conditions seem to be on the upswing just in time for your trip.
Have you heard any sign of the new Iceland station on 666?   I believe 
it's only 1 kw.   I had good reception earlier this year, but then I was 
in Reykjavik at the time!

Good luck on the rest of your DXpedition.

73,

Nigel

DX-wise it was a rather disappointing morning here.  Very little was heard 
other than hets on 702, 738 and 891, as well as a trace of a signal (no audio) 
on 1566 after 1300 (LSR) until 1315.  Good DX.
