[IRCA] TA from Victoria
At 0315UT, 0352-4UT, and several other moments, presumed Absolute Radio was delivering some audio, their usual rock music, but never, in spite of good strength carriers, at particularly good level. Peaks were pretty brief. Quite a lot of other carriers, some familiar, 855, 882, 909, 1053, 1089, 1485, some not so familiar, 1251 1314 1368 1422 1458 1575 1584 1593; But, things are quieter now, half an hour later. best wishes, Nick Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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 5 April 2018
Things were certainly down from yesterday, with no surprises this morning. There were actually lots of tantalizing carriers, especially on the higher part of the band, but most of them never quite made audio. 576 unIDTraces of man speaking at 1246 693 JOAB Tokyo, JAPAN Man and woman presenting language lesson, // stronger 774, at 1214 702 2BL Sydney, AUSTRALIA Interview by a man at 1255. 774 JOUBAkita, JAPANMan and woman presenting English lesson at 1213. 10264MK Mackay, AUSTRALIA 80's pop song at 1240 , then talk by man 1107unIDWeak, with talk by man and woman at 1242 11164BC Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Ad string during regular talk show at 1232 1305unIDFaint mumblings noted at 1257 1386unIDTraces of woman talking at 1256 15484QD Emerald, AUSTRALIA ABC news by a man at 1301 1566HLAZJeju, S.KOREA Choral hymn at 1236. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta Perseus SDR and Wellbrook Phased Array ___ 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] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 4-5
Alberta could get some serious interest from Puget Sound DXers after a session like this morning's. Clunker conditions carried over for a second day, with few of the big gun Asians managing any audio at all. At my 1300 start time only the Korean big guns on 972 and 1566 were managing poor audio in and out, while the NHK powerhouses on 594, 693, 747 and 774 were all just modest carriers. Increasing daylight around 1315 brought 693 and 747 up to poor audio for a few seconds at a time, while sending 972 off for the morning. During the "peak" conditions around 1330 both 594 and 774 had carriers which might have reached poor audio if a DXer was motivated to stick around and wait for it (which I definitely wasn't). Needless to say, all the second tier TP's took the morning off. Since miserable Asian conditions here seem to indicate great DU-DX in Alberta, maybe Nigel had a shot at a few more western Australians this morning? 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave SSB Ultralight + 15" 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
[IRCA] Let's Try This Again
--- Begin Message --- Hi All: I submitted the following information yesterday but for some reason it never posted. WMPO, 1390, Middleport-Pomeroy OH has been silent since 3/29, though OC seems to be on. Their FM twin on 103.7 (94Q) continues operating //WTHQ, 1030. WONS, 1080, Cannonsburg, KY is on carrying Walk FM (Contemp. Christian //WKAO, 91.1, etc.). As Walk-FM's TOH ID also includes 1110, WMUX, Hurricane, WV, I assume they are on too, but I can't pull them in at all, and only actually heard them several years ago when the noise floor was much lower. 73David Faulkner --- End Message --- ___ 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
