Mostly weak Aussie audio on the low band; not much of anything on the high 
band, except for 1593 which had not one, but two weak audios..



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

back to normal




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

nothing here either





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) 

576 2RN woman talking, 6 pips, ABC fanfare 1500UT

594 man talking DU English intonation 1445UT

594 JOAK pips at 1500UT, man talking, Japanese intonation

612 4QR man and woman, presumably news 1501UT, //576

702 2BL pips and fanfare, very faint but recognizable

1017 island sounding vocals 1448UT; Tonga likely

1593 man talking, Chinese intonation 1506UT, but mixing with another man 
talking which presumably was  NHK2, as their pips were heard at 1500UT




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

 774 972 1323 1332 1422  1503 1566 1575 seemed to be Asian; 
 558 639 882 891  seemed to be DU

[IRCA] Station ID help requested

2019-02-14 Thread Joseph Miller
Good evening,

At about 6:00 local time (0200 Zulu) I heard some Spanish on 1160
occasionally overpowering KSL in Utah. Program content was a mix of talk
and more traditional music. At 02:26 I heard instrumentals of "Hey Jude"
and "Unchained Melody", the first being played on flute.

Unfortunately for me, I had no internet access while I could hear them. We
had a lot of rain in the past 24 hours and didn't even have cell phone
service. Then an hour later, the internet returned, but no longer heard
them.

I looked up XEQIN 1160 with a web browser and it took me to live feed of
their program. Content is similar, but did not hear the "La Valle" ID
though.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

[IRCA] loop on ground

2019-02-14 Thread Mark Connelly via IRCA

Loop on ground: probably not much for use as your main antenna but something 
you could phase against DKAZ, SuperLoop, Flag, Kaz Delta etc. for knocking down 
specific pests or noise.

https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads%2Floop-on-ground-antenna.622669%2F

For most DXers it's easy enough to install temporarily for testing and it's 
easy to remove if it proves not useful.

Things had died out well before sunrise this morning, but HLAZ, at any rate, 
put on a bit of performance.



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

1566 HLAZ back in business, man in Chinese 1449UT




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

594 JOAK man in Japanese, NHK1 theme music 1457UT, a brief NHK1 party with 567 
and 585 at the bottom of the band, all gone by the hour.

1557 RTI man in Chinese 1453UT





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 interlude music punching through //594 1457UT

585 JOPG interlude music //594 1457UT

603 man and woman talking quite intense, sounded oriental, but not the standard 
KBS2 programming 1444UT; quiet music a few minutes before the hour seemed more 
like KBS2, but everything gone by 1500UT

828 JOBB with the distinctive sound of English lessons on the north Flag 1438UT

1422 erratic fading, but traces of ballad and a woman in possible Japanese 
1500UT

1593 man talking, Chinese intonation 1442UT




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

 747 1026 1098 1242 1278 1332 1359 1494  1503  seemed to be Asian; 
  567 612 621 702 738 756 882 909 1017  seemed to be DU  


best wishes,
