[IRCA] TA TP

[Nicholas Hall-Patch]

wonderfully weird situation just now (0650UT).   1215 presumed Absolute
with the usual rock, as good or better than it has been all night, but also
Japanese on 567 and 747.   1566 also has some audio which seems a long way
from Jeju local sunset.

909 with audio traces also.

best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] TA 24 Nov Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Yes, this is what was heard last night, 24 Nov.   Tonight  was not as 
interesting, though still lots of carriers, and 1215 grunged away about level 
with the splatter a number of times through the evening, and 1386 had the 
familiar Russian sounding male voice.

531 Algeria?  man talking, Arabic sound just before 0600UT, but too poor to be 
sure; also lively pop music 0518-20UT, poor to fair.   Couldn't check web 
stream, as these were gleaned from recordings.

855 RNE1 fair to good, woman talking Spanish to another woman on the phone 
0323-4UT; ID'd later //1107

909 woman talking, English intonation 0209 and 0212UT, poor in splatter

1107 RNE5  woman talking, poor strength but //855, 0539UT

1215 rock music 0404UT, strongest level of the evening, but still poor to fair 
at best



best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] 24 Nov Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

An odd morning.   Not so good on the usual trans-Pacifics, a couple more 
Chineseand the Middle East.



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

594 JOAK 1444UT //567

972 HLCA man in Korean after pips1500UT 



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



774 JOUB  1513UT

828 JOBB  1515UT

945 CNR1 woman in Chinese, 1537UT;  had been ID'd a couple of minutes earlier 
with //6175, and a delay that some webstreams can better.

1575 Iran  buzz jammer doing a very effective job of jamming presumed VoA.  
Didn't notice it until 1520UT when I first switched over to the north Flag, 
might have been in for awhile.  Was pretty much gone by 1530UT





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

567 NZ?  man talking, DU English 1519UT;  an outlier this morning

603 HLSA //558 1446UT

855 woman in Chinese 1437UT;  weaker female choral music also 1436UT, likely N. 
Korea,  trading places

918 woman in Chinese 1445UT

981 CNR1 woman echoing //945 which wasn't echoing; 1447UT

1575 woman talking, SE Asian language? 1518UT.  Not chance for IDs on hour and 
half hour




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) 

558 HLQH //603 1446UT

567 JOIK //594 1444UT

594 3WV ABC fanfare well under JOAK 1500UT

693 JOAB  //774 1503UT

738 vaguely oriental sounding ballad 1504UT; no parallel available

747 JOIB //774 1502UT

873 JOGB //828 1448UT

1017 CRI chimes 1500UT

1287 man and woman, Japanese intonation 1516UT




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

  621 639 666 675 702 801   846 864 891 936 1008  1089  1242 1566   seemed to 
be Asian; 
576 702 seemed  to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

 Mark,
Thanks for posting this fascinating article, which I will probably need to read 
more than once! There are some interesting clues which may indeed be relevant 
to MW DX. The discussion regarding the angles of transmission and reception and 
ducting may hold at least partial explanations for reception differences in 
various locations.
Thanks and 73,

[IRCA] TA DX Saturday night

[Volodya S]

Once again, as Colin has alerted, TAs seem to be on the verge.  Yet again,
1386 has shown up a pretty good levels on the Fishbarrel, but not any audio
into my QTH.  Measuring at 1385.999 on the waterfall.   Presumably,
Lithuania.  1575.000 is also there with a better signal for me, but again,
no audio.  702.000 has fair audio.  Not sure who they are.  Not Algeria,
who I had thought (as not // to the web feed).  Walt

A great article, Mark.  Thanks for sharing with us.  There was a new term
that I had never heard of before, and perhaps someone smarter than me can
explain it further:   Gyrofrequency.   The map didn't have much information
for North America compared to other places in the world, and was quite
high, into the X-band here.  I'll have to re-read it to see whether I grasp
that concept.  Ducting, which we were all familiar with in MW DXing is

By the sound of things, it was doing better in

Once again, Google is our friend:


https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/station-k-and-indices

Station K and A Indices | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction 
Center
www.swpc.noaa.gov
The Station A and K indices show the fluctuations in the magnetic field, tied 
to specific geographic locations. The indices have a range from 0 to 9 and are 
directly related to the maximum amount of fluctuation (relative to a quiet day) 
in the geomagnetic field over a three-hour interval.

This is one of these "I don't know why I bother bookmarking anything"

OK, rant over.  Some searching gave me these soon to be out of date links:

http://geomag.nrcan.gc.ca/plot-tracee/ssp-1-en.php gives you the last

which are only calculated for three southerly observatories
http://geomag.nrcan.gc.ca/data-donnee/indices/si-en.php will get you
historical K-indices for those observatories, but it's months out of date

Otherwise
http://geomag.nrcan.gc.ca/data-donnee/indices/si-vi-en.php?type=hourly_ranges
will get  of raw geomagnetism at all the observatories until quite recently..

They have a plotting service, which which also shows you a map of the
magnetic observatory locations:

http://geomag.nrcan.gc.ca/plot-tracee/mp-en.php?format=html

but again, raw geomagnetism.   Anyone know how to calculate K indices?

I have heard that "IT technicalities are preventing us from
automatically providing up to date k indices on the web site.", so
possibly some day they may return?

They used to have a mailing list to which you could subscribe, but
that has also been shot down by
"IT technicalities ".

There still is a service to which you could subscribe, which predicts

There was one part of the discussion that was a bit unclear. I wasn't sure if 
they meant "under" the absorption zone to mean "South of it" or to mean 
"traversing beneath" the absorption or interchangeably both. If there was an 
intent for "beneath", then I'd have expected a further discussion of paths 
going  over ( above ) the absorption.  At MW, we likely see all three.

[IRCA] jammer 1575

[Nicholas Hall-Patch]

Iranian jammer seems to be kicking up a morning fuss as well in Victoria,
interfering with presumed VoA-1575 1520UT.  Otherwise, a pretty bland TP
opening here.

best wishes,

Nick

That must be some car radio, or actually the campus might be pretty good for
