Re: [IRCA] TP 3 Jan Victoria version CRI on 963 and 1323
Had a quick listen to my Perseus wav files for 963 and 1323. Nick is correct. Although conditions to China were not ideal most days between Dec 28th and Jan 2nd, I didn't hear CRI in Russian on 963 during the 15 to 16 hour period. As for 1323, indeed, the CRI IS/fanfare came on at the TOH at 16:00 without any ID, and seemingly left the air after that. 73, Walt On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 5:06 AM Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > The year continues downhill, in spite of the geomagnetically quiet > conditions; but then there was AFN on 1575...

[IRCA] TP 3 Jan Victoria version.
The year continues downhill, in spite of the geomagnetically quiet conditions; but then there was AFN on 1575... NHK2 again off at 1440UT, but not much zip compared with previous days. If nothing else,there was time to check 1323 and 963 on the Khabarovsk KiwiSDR at 1500 and 1600UT. At 1500UT, 1323 was going strong "Radio Kitaya" CRI, with no sign of going off the air per its listed sign off. 963 on the other hand showed no sign of Radio Kitaya before 1500UT; no wonder it's not being heard just now. At 1600UT no IDs on 1323, but recognizable top of the hour CRI music, which stopped at 1600UT, followed by a short tone and then off, with NHK1 filling the gap. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nada, though perhaps 774's sign off chimes came close? Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): 594 JOAK 1600UT 774 JOUB s/off 1443UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 639 CNR1 //1593 1544UT 747 JOIB s/off 1441UT 1503 JOUK 1558UT jazz guitar //594 1575 AFN assumed with woman and man in American English "January 31st, in time..." a chance to join for military members" 1543UT, erratic fading 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) 567 JOIK //594 1555UT 603 ballad 1522UT likely HLSA 621 yet another ballad 1542UT; Heilongjiang RGD likely? 828 JOBB s/off 1440UT 855 ballad 1558UT; maybe Chinese pips on hour, but pretty imaginary 972 man talking, Korean? 1545UT 1287 man talking, Japanese intonation 1541UT 1593 CNR1 //639 1544UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 657 738 891 918 945 1242 1269 1323 1386 1422 1494 1557 seemed to be Asian; nothing seemed to be DU 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

AIR 1566 used to be a powerful dominant station in Newfoundland, but in the last 2 years we have not heard it at all. Something has happened to their transmitter / antenna. And if anyone is thinking conditions are to blame, over 40 Indians have been heard from Newfoundland although of course not all in the last few years.

Re: [IRCA] TP report from Masset for January 1 2019
Gary, Never logged 693, but heard & QSL'd 558. Too much JJ on 693 when I tried.

Re: [IRCA] TP from Masset for 31 2018
Walt, Really some great catches there. When I lived in Seward AK in the 60s, KTIL as well as KNPT were common. KAST was rare though. Those Lighthouse stations are a lot of fun and when conditions are good, their 50-60 watts gets out well. Logged and QSL'd 7 of them in the 90s. One would come on with the weather/current conditions, go off and another would pop on. Some were weaker than others, and some not audible. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager From: IRCA on behalf of Volodya S Sent: Monday, December 31, 2018 12:59 PM To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Subject: Re: [IRCA] TP from Masset for 31 2018 Nick is correct. Besides a very promising early evening nothing more occurred here in Masset. As for the morning very strong into Asia. Virtually nil from Australia. Once again 1611 was booming in until sign off after 17:00. Some TA Asian activity again including perhaps 1440 Saudi. 1539 was strong again TPs continue now past 20:30. 9400 Bulgaria was open 19 to 20 with a special as was Romania in Ukrainian on 49 meters.
