[IRCA] 2 Nov Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Another tick downwards in conditions, except a relog of CNR11 on 1098 which is 
not common here at all.


A gentle fade down after 1500UTagain.






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

567 JOIK 1432UT //594

594 JOAK 1423UT

639 CNR1 huge signal at 1419UT, tune to 640, and listen to this just the same 
in AM or synchronous AM

657 N. Korea female chorus //855 briefly peaking 1446UT

693 JOAB brief peak with English lessons 1432UT

747 JOIB 1425UT

972 HLCA 1418UT







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


558 HLQH, //HLSA 1423UT

603 HLSA //HLQH 1423UT, but soon faded under Chinese and ?

612 4QR assumed man in DU English 1446UT

774 JOUB 1424UT, English lessons, perils of the smartophone

828 JOBB 1424UT //774

837 1420UT, woman in Chinese after pop music.

945 CNR1 //639 1447UT; sometimes another Chinese station dominated

1017 CRI man and woman talking, Chinese lessons; 1442UT.  //5965  later

1566 HLAZ assumed, woman in Chinese 1427UT


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

738 Chinese man talking, not //1143 1446UT

855 N. Korea //657 1441UT, female chorus

954 JOKR man in Japanese 1429UT

981 //9455 1453UT

1134 KBS woman in Korean 1440UT

1503 JOUK //594 1502UT




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) 

531 JOQG //594 1437UT

585 JOPB //594 weather report 1457UT

675 VoV1 woman singing, long slow notes matching web stream 1417UT; was all set 
to abandon DX and just enjoy the music on the web stream, and did for a moment 
or two.

702 man talking, Chinese intonation, also NHK2 lessons 1431UT

711 HLKA man //864 1436UT

864 HLKR, as 711

873 JOGB English lessons //693 1502UT

891 JOHK //594 1431UT

918 woman talking Chinese intonation

1044 instrumental music, no talk 1435UT

1098 CNR11 melismatic male vocal 1435-8UT; couldn't match with webstream  which 
had talk, but //6010 was established, though the latter was pretty rugged 
quality.

1242 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1445UT

1386 NHK2 // 774 1448UT

1422 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1500UT

1593 CNR1 //639 1502UT


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

729 612 801 846 882 909 936 1008  1035  1116  1143 1206  1215 1305  1314 1323 
1341 1359   1458  1575  seemed to be Asian; 
792   seemed  to be DU

[IRCA] TSA Loves the "Frequent Flyers"

[Gary DeBock]

 The airport-friendly "Frequent Flyer" FSL antennas kept their perfect TSA 
screening record today as the recently-tweaked 5" bar model deployed from Sea 
Tac airport for a 5 day Hawaii trip. After all the exceptional DX received over 
the past week at home with the same antenna, though, maybe the trip to Kauai 
will be a chance to relax a  little? :-)

 Good luck to Walt during his PEI DXpedition trip-- and if conditions like 
the past 8 days continue, maybe an experienced TP-DXer like Walt will be in 
high demand on the island?

Re: [IRCA] This morning's TP loggings from Central Iowa

[Chris Kadlec]

I agree with Nick. This is Tokyo. Here's a link to one of my recordings of what 
1134's KBS ID should sound like, same as any other KBS station with a different 
slogan (at home, 21 miles from the tower, where you can hear Tokyo trying to 
smother it at night, and a clear groundwave clip during the afternoon).

http://www.beaglebass.com/temporary/1134_Hwaseong_Night.MP3

http://www.beaglebass.com/temporary/1134_Hwaseong_Day.MP3

Also, remember that this station is only on the air from 2045-1805 UTC daily, 
so both its FM and AM are off the air (transmitter totally off on the AM side) 
for more than 2 1/2 hours each night, just FYI for everyone whose DX sessions 
may intersect those hours.

Subject: [IRCA] This morning's TP loggings from Central Iowa

I spent a lot of today reviewing the recordings from this morning, and managed 
to hear some very faint chimes at the top of the hour on 1134 kHz.
the audio is rough at best, but you can hear them just before the top of the 
hour, and then again in a different key a little later. I think it
might be KBS, but I could use some advice on this one.

Hi Nick,

Yup, I think that's it. Those two high pitched notes match up with what I
heard. Thanks for helping me out with this one.

And my hunt for Korea continues.

I'm pretty sure you had JOQR Tokyo on 1134 Tim. as the chimes ending 
in a single pip on the hour are fairly distinctive.  See what you think:

Hello everyone,

We had another great morning for Trans-Pacific DX here in the Midwest. i
started listening around 1120 UTC, and found strong signals from Japan on
774, 693, 666, and 747. 828 out of Osaka might have been the loudest of
all, but I couldn't separate them from WCCO in Minneapolis.

CNR 11 (probably) on 1098 also made another appearance with that ridiculous
signal I've seen all this week. Considering the solar forecast this weekend
is calling for storms, I guess we better enjoy it while it lasts. Here's a
clip of them pushing the signal meter up to an S8 on the Perseus.

I saw a carrier on 702, and hoped that it might be Australia, but nothing
ever came of it. Can't win them all I guess!

Hello everyone,

We had another great morning for Trans-Pacific DX here in the Midwest. i
started listening around 1120 UTC, and found strong signals from Japan on

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only 
or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan 
stock caradio as specified; ICR-75 with 00-foot E-W longwire.

** MEXICO. 540, Nov 1 at 0046, ``La Ranchera de Paquimé`` on AM & FM, i.e. XETX 
with FM on 90.5, from Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 550, Nov 1 at 0045, ``91.3, La Súper-Estación``, loops WSW. 
Of course it`s XEPL, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua. Axually, I thought 
they said ``101.3`` which sounds rather similar in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 630, Oct 28 at 1215, Spanish plugging a program on Alba? 
104.5, a Grupo Radio Centro station, 6:15 timecheck, music; loops SSW. 
Suspected XEFB Monterrey NL. WTFDA FM Database shows slogan ALFA 
104.5, CHR format for XHMF-FM in Mty but does not relate it to 630 
XEFB, which used to be news/talk. Is it now just an appendage of an 
FM, like so many US AM stations, or a promo for sibling station? (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 709.875, Nov 1 at 0048, tell-tale het against KCMO or KGNC, from the 
sometimes off-frequency alternate transmitter of XEDP, La Ranchera de 
Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua. Still there at 0612 when I measure, 709.875? 
Yes, mwoffsets has it on 709.87 as of 2017-03-08 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 820, Nov 1 at 1241 UT, romantic music in Spanish over WBAP 
which a few minutes earlier had been dominant; 1242 canned YL ID as 
``Canal ochocientos veinte, ABC Radio``, i.e. XEABCA, Mexicali BCN and 
back to more romx, a title starting with ``Amor ---``. Now I measure 
its SAH separation from WBAP at less than 1 Hz, 48 per minute or 0.8 
Hz. My sunrise today 1255 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 860, Nov 1 at 1247 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS C&W is 
getting CCI in Spanish, but cannot mutually null them, i.e. close to 
opposite direxion. They both null at the same position, audiblizing 
French from CBKF-2 Saskatoon; see CANADA. 1301 Mexican NA, short 
choral version, and 1303 ``XEMO, La Poderosa 860, música de 
recuerdo``, non-sign-on info with street address, website, and then 
prayer to María. XEMO is 10/7.5 kW from Tijuana BCN, which in fact is 
almost exactly opposite to here from KKOW, but six times further 
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 870, Nov 1 at 0052 UT, XETAR music and YL DJ with 5:52 TC, about to 
close down daytimer at 6:00. La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara, 
Guachochi, Chihuahua, at first atop WWL, then making fast SAH with it. 
I`m accustomed to hearing this around sunrise. 

BTW, the UT-7 TC confirms Mexico beyond the US economic-influenced 
border cities, has sensibly now ended DST a week before USA; it would 
be even more sensible for both countries to abolish it.

These XEs logged following Kaz`s advisory instead to seek US daytimers 
to the west on the best night of the year before they must sign off 
much earlier from tomorrow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 650, Oct 28 at 1204 UT, outro news from Canadian Press, 
``650 CKOM Update``, 1205 weather from minus 5 to plus 19; plug 
CKOM.com, back to ``Saskatchewan`s biggest conversation`` seems a 
playback. WSM easily nulled, XETNT not fading up until later, and KGAB 
no obstacle. 10/10 kW U4 from Saskatoon. Night pattern is supposed to 
be all-north; day with a minor lobe south. Last logged here Sept 7, 
2017 at 0549. At first I thought they were saying CKON, but that might 
be in Ontario. Branded as ``650 CKOM`` several times but did not hear 
``NewsTalk 650`` as in NRC AM Log, altho that is certainly their 
format and might still be uttered (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** CANADA. 860, Nov 1 at 1247 UT, as I am trying to separate KKOW from 
XEMO, but can`t since they are almost collinear with Enid, instead 
with both of them nulled I hear French in the clear, mentioning 
Canada, which is CBKF-2, Saskatoon, Sask., 10/10 kW U4. NRC Pattern 
Book of 2013 shows major lobe north day and night, but almost as major 
to S at night, SSE at day, no doubt to cover Regina (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** OKLAHOMA. Periodic update on Enid stations as of November 1:

530, `K530AM` Vance AFB TIS remains off the air for months now, altho 
sometimes I think I have a very weak carrier.

1390, KCRC, 1/1 kW, continues to put big spurs causing hets circa 30 
and 60 kHz above and below: 1330, 1360, 1420, 1450. The two closer 
ones have plenty of modulation, all messing up KS and OK legit

** U S A. 840, Nov 1 at 1245 UT, ``102.9, más música y variedad --- en 
español, el motivador``. Must be US station, as a Mexican would never 
need to say it`s in Spanish! Loops E/W. NRC AM Log shows it`s KJFA 
Belén, Nuevo Méjico, 1800/30 watts U1, slogan as Éxitos 102.9. Yes, of 
course, it`s way pre-sunrise there, so on day power? Official sunrise 
is not until an hour later, 1345 UT! (December: 1400). First time I`ve 
heard it here; KJFA-840 is successor to KARS-860 Belén. Now for 
Albuquerque market, address for the cluster at 4125 Carlisle NE, which 
I think used to host KHFM i.a.

I thought 102.9 would be a translator, even on Sandia Crest, but no, 
KJFA-FM is 3.7 kW ERP horizontal only, licensed to Pecos NM, on the 
other side of SC, so how does that get into ABQ? FCC coverage map 
shows it does not, and barely into Santa Fe and Las Vegas (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 870, Nov 1 at 1225 UT, weather in the 20s and 30s, snow, 
mention northern Wisconsin, so this sure isn`t WWL. First on R75, then 
switch to DX-398 to get a bearing. Yes, with WWL nulled. 1228 UT more 
such weather, highs in 40s. 1231 UT TC for 7:31 =CDT, now 25 degrees, 
mention Minnesota. This is certainly KPRM Park Rapids MN, 50/2.5 kW 
U2. Suspect on 50 kW ND day pattern as night nulls south. But official 
FCC November sunrise is not until 1315 UT! Even in October it was 1230 
UT, so I should not have been hearing it already at 1225. December 
will be 1400 UT which they will probably also precede (Glenn Hauser,

[IRCA] Quick band sweep - 1440ish

[R. Colin Newell]

https://youtu.be/Dmm5gbJY_Fw

This will give you a sense of some of the silliness we have been describing
lately...

4 minute video sweep of todays conditions - which were probably about equal
to yesterdays
conditions.

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 11/2/18

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Out in Victoria, BC, I agree with you on your "not as good" 
evaluation, Richard.


However, I did join the happy throng of CNR11 listeners at 1435-8UT, 
with a man singing a capella, chanting really, and //6010 which was 
very difficult to hear indeed.


Do you see any signs of a signal on that channel?

best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] 1098 recording

[Sylvain Naud]

Very nice, Nigel. I also had interesting reception of China 1098 
yesterday. Here it is peaking when playing music. Probably my best ever 
signal for this one:

[IRCA] Yanbian 1206 1053 1566 Tips

[Chris Kadlec]

In response to Tim and Bruce, with some extra information:

1206 was my old local and is a pretty potent, wide, and loud signal. I have no 
TOH IDs in my recordings of the frequency, and I think the reason is, as you 
said, that there just is nothing special there to hear, and when there is, it 
is always approximately near the TOH time, not exactly.

However, at their midnight sign-off time (1600 UTC), they give the Yanbian 
Comprehensive News Radio ID and ALWAYS play the same traditional North Korean 
song, though again, it might start at 11:55 or 12:01 or whatever. I always 
missed the start of it for that fact and it infuriated me. Typically, they 
don't even say their station name in the sign-off even, which is Yeonbyeon 
nyusuh jonghap bangsong, but merely mention Yeonbyeon (that is the Korean name 
of Yanbian, which is a Korean autonomous district), the frequency, times of 
broadcast, etc.

Here is the sign-off sequence:

http://www.beaglebass.com/temporary/1206_Sign_Off.MP3


But note that like most stations in China these days, they play a 
usually-instrumental music loop (last I knew) overnight and stay on the air 
without programming, though they didn't start staying on the air until 2016. 
The station's website is a real pain as far as streaming goes. I wouldn't even 
suggest bothering with it.

When I first started AM DX in Korea in 2015, the station was off the air for 
many months. Then one day, they came on and were blasting, making it very hard 
for me to hear Jiangsu as normal.

Aside from that, and the offset, they play the typical North Korean content in 
Korean with a North dialect (CNR-8 nearby also plays traditional North Korean 
content, but those transmitters are all failing and have horrid hums and 
buzzes, 1305 especially).

If you have 1205 exceptionally strong, it's good to look for the other two 
Yanbian blasters, 1053 and 1566, which run parallel. I think many of you hear 
1566 behind Jeju. Pyongyang on 1566, I believe, is directional to the south, 
which probably lowers the chance of it coming in. With 1500kw Haeju off the air 
on 1053, it should be easier to hear Yanbian.

Yanbian has a very distinctive jingle - for lack of a better word - on the 1053 
and 1566 frequencies that gives them away both at the top of the hour and 
during any promos, which are run throughout the hour with the typical "Meili 
Yanbian!!" followed by "Yanbian renmin guangbo diantai" ID, heard here on 1566 
and 1053 from Seoul:


http://www.beaglebass.com/temporary/1566_Yanbian.MP3 (in null of Pyongyang)


http://www.beaglebass.com/temporary/1053_Yanbian.MP3 (with half-hour ID and 
pips at the end nulling out my 6-mile local jammer in Seoul, the same one that 
everyone else overseas used to hear).

Hi Tim

Those are some amazing recordings of 693 and 774 Japan .

Yanbian has been operating on 1205.96 as far back as I can remember.? 
The measured carrier frequency is so unique, it's as good as an ID in my 
book.? I'm not sure about the music you heard at 1159.? I'll try to 
start my SDR recording a bit earlier tomorrow and see if I can catch 
what the station broadcasts at that time.? I don't recall this station 
doing anything consistent at the ToH, like time pips or fanfare.

[IRCA] 837-China at 1423 UTC

[Gary DeBock]

Thanks to Colin, Nigel and Nick for their earlier TP-DX reports from 
yesterday's wacky session. At my location the Chinese signals really bordered 
on the incredible, though. This was 837-China (Harbin?) pounding in with an 
extended S9 run of techno rock music from 1423-1425... kind of the poster child 
for the ionospheric meltdown session
