Re: [IRCA] Aloha from Hawaii

[Patrick Martin]

Lots of power line noise in Hawaii. Little good grounding with Lava rock, I was 
over there several times and in having dinner with engineer Alan Roycroft 
complained that the local coverage of AM stations was poor. The station(s) 
could be heard thousands of miles away, but could not always cover their 
locals. The rental cars I had, driving out of Hilo up into the Volcano area, 
after I got 25-30 miles away, even KIPA 620, KPUA-670 were not all that great. 
Yet at night, San Francisco was heard, better than some locals. Ground 
conductivity there is not great either, unless the towers are in the ocean. 
Richard Wood DXed off local power with running his house off batteries to  get 
rid of noise.

My daughter lives in Kona. They have a noise problem there. Close power lines 
and poor grounding. I have only heard the Hawaiians there but need a better 
receiver and a wire. Will be interesting to read the reports on what is heard 
there.

[IRCA] TP 3 Jan Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Even poorer and extreme minimalist today.  A few carriers about 1520 
UT which seemed NZ (675, 756, 909), then a very slight lift closer to 
1600UT for a repeat of yesterday's NHK1 ghostly pair.



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


not today


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


the above passing through




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


the above 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)


594 JOAK woman talking 1548UT //1503 for just a few seconds
1503 JOUK woman talking 1548UT //594, then chanting male vocal, 
sounding a bit like the "music lessons" on 972



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


675 756 909 1017 1557

best wishes,

Nick

We have discovered some great locations above Waipio valley - Cabin on 40 acres 
that seems adequate and you can pick away at Asia or the Americas depending on 
which flag you use.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 1/3/17

[Richard N Allen]

There is little DX to report here this morning.  The only TP signal heard was a 
carrier on 702 kHz from WSW direction at 1313 GMT, with moderate QRM from 
XEETCH and XEGD.

Usual signals from KWMT-540 and WNAX-570 were missing.  There's a forecast for 
a G-1 geomagnetic storm on January 4 and 5.

Good DX all.

Richard Allen,
near Perry OK USA,
Skywave with Space Magnet SM-2.
