I didn’t think to check for Fuji on 558.  Maybe tomorrow.  It’s still a little

Re: [IRCA] 4QD 1548 into IL at sunrise today.

[Richard Allen]

After hearing 4QD’s carrier at sunrise yesterday, I listened on 1548 for 
several minutes this morning hopping to hear something, but only heard KQNM.  
It was pretty much a TP morning here today.

Re: [IRCA] dx dead spots

[Richard Allen]

I’m fortunate enough to live in an area of excellent ground conductivity.  
Ground wave DX into surrounding states is very good at mid-day.  My guess is it 
has something to do with the Port Silt Loam (Red Dirt) that cover much of 
Oklahoma.  It’s a significant enough feature of the region to have been named 
the official state soil.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 12/3/16

[Richard Allen]

It was a bit of a hit and miss DX session here with too many of the latter.  
But overall the best morning for awhile (LSR @ 1326 GMT).

567 JOIK? a trace of a signal (no audio) at 1228-1230, nothing later.
594 JOAK a barely audible-to-poor signal fading in and out from 1213 until 1334.
692 JOAB unreadable audio in KGGF-690 slop at 1330.
702 unID carrier from NW at 1311.
747 JOIB poor on SDR at 1131; barely audible with KNNJ splatter at 1223 & 1315 
on ULR. 
774 JOUB audible at 1118 to 1318 fading in and out, occasionally peaking at 
fair-to-good.  Best signal from JOUB since September, even audible on barefoot  
PL-310 for a time.
827 JOBB? het at 1228, very strong (sadly no audio) at 1330
972 HLCA? weak het in KCFO-970 QRM at 1322.
1566 HLAZ barely audible in XERF-1570 splash at 1300-1310; 
1593 unID (CNR?) traces of a signal at 1325.
No signals detected on 603, 657, 1053, 1134 1206 or 1503 when checked/

I finally resorted to using my old faithful PL-310 which was used barefoot to 
logged many of  the Asian signals heard in 2009-2010.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 11/22/16

[Richard Allen]

While not as good as yesterday, several TP signals were heard here this morning 
(LSR @ 1316 GMT).

594 JOAK signal was barely audible-to-poor at 1327, continued to be heard until 
fade out at 1334 (18 minutes past sunrise).
774 JOUB poor-to-fair at 1128; poor at 1157; poor at 1223.
828 JOBB het in WCCO-830 slop at 1254 and 1327.
1566 HLAZ barely-to-poor at 1314-1319.

Traces of signals (no audio) on 567, 693, 747 and 1593.  No signal heard on 
972, 1053 and 1323 when checked.

I wasted too much time monitoring 1593 act sunrise hearing nothing.

Hopefully reception is better at your QTH.  Good day.

Re: [IRCA] If Skywave Protection for Class A's was Ended, Would That be Good for DX'ers or Bad?

[Richard Allen]

While that is true, what’s the logic in overcrowding the airwaves?  Where will 
be the profit in more stations with fewer listeners per station.  I don’t how 
they are surviving in the current mire.  With few exceptions, AM radio stations 
aren’t worth listening to most of the time.  Most around here broadcast nothing 
but syndicated conservative talk shows, while others carry sports talk, or 
preachers.  Very few with any entertainment.  Sadly AM broadcasters are 
migrating to FM rapidly filling up that band.

How I long for the good old days.  I guess we should blame it on my age!  I can 
remember what it was like in the late 1940’s and 50’s before TV made an impact. 
 Now it’s computers and most of the youth of today don’t listened to AM radio, 
probably even FM.

[Richard Allen]

I agree with Russ.  It would create a log jam worse than we already have.  I’m 
of the opinion the Gov’t needs to eliminate some of these useless noise makers. 
 I’m a DX-er who want to hear stations at great distance, not count.

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 11/21/16

[Richard Allen]

I’m hoping it improves more in the next few days.  I’ll probably be watching 
1593 kHz more closely than in the past.

Not only were there better medium wave signals from Asia this morning, but also 
on short wave.  The Voice of Korea is normally received here with an poor 
unlistenable signal on 9435 kHz.  This morning the propaganda is fair-to-good 
at 1530 GMT on the ATS909X / ALA1530LNP combo. The signal sounds like it’s 
either being jammed or has modulation problems!

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/17/16

[Richard Allen]

It was probably the worst DX morning thus far since late last month.  Once 
again, there were no signals from Asia.
612 unID (4QR?) weak carrier at 1226, QRM: KCSP-610.  Het audible on barefoot 
SRF-T615 at 1204.
702 2BL weak carrier at 1224, QRM: “La Poderosa:, XEGD-700.
738 unID het at 0944, QRM: “Zoomer Radio” CFZM-740.
774 3LO barely audible man talking at 1238-1239 (LSR 1240).
1098 unID (V7AB?) het at 0959 & 1054, QRM: WTAM-1100. Music heard from 
1116-1130 (probably an unID 1100 kHz signal).

The morning wasn’t a total goner! though.  I managed to hear KDAL-610, Duluth 
MN, for the first time on my SRF-T615.  I was surprised the signal made it 
passed KCSP and XEGS.  

Have a good day.

Re: [IRCA] Slightly OT - the Best film about Shortwave radio in production.

[Richard Allen]

Colin:

Thanks for the post.

A short wave broadcast from the CBC IS (later RCI) station at Sackville was the 
very first I heard.  It was a late Sunday afternoon in winter and I was 
listening on an old receiver found in the upstairs of my grandmother’s house.  
The broadcast contained a mailbag program hosted by Earle Fisher, and the 
frequency was 11.72 Mc/s.  Surprising what I still remember!   I became a 
regular listener of the service until the end.

Interestingly, while I was stationed in England a few years later, I heard my 
first trans-Atlantic medium wave DX from CBA-1070, Sackville. 

The QSL cards from those two broadcasts are among my most treasured.

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/5/16

[Richard Allen]

Gary:

I didn’t hear anything on 567 kHz, but the PL-380’s S/N indicator was showing a 
signal.  

I got lucky hearing 3LO on Sunday.  I couldn’t understand the talking on the 
program, but there was a passage of distinctive sounding Tibetan music that 
matched the simulcast on Radio Australia.  Later I downloaded a podcast from 
the ABC to compare.  There is no doubt that I heard the station.

Unfortunately I couldn’t do the same after with 4BC yesterday.  Due to the weak 
signal and QRN it was justl unintelligent talk by a man. I’m pretty sure it was 
English.  There was a brief announcement by a woman that coincided with what 
was on the internet.  Even after running the recording passed Audacity and 
iTunes several time I couldn’t tell what I had heard.  So I’m only listing the 
4BC ID as tentative.  I can’t believe it’s only 6.3 kW at night.  I briefly had 
a inaudible signal on 1016 kHz at sunset in Brisbane this morning.   

I feel Tahiti on 738 kHz is nearly impossible because of the inference on 740 
kHz.  At night, I mostly hear near-by KRMG (25 kW) and CFZM (50 kW) with an 
occasional XE from south of the border.  The same is true of 4QR on 612.  
KCSP-610 is audible 24/7 and pretty much impossible to null toward Australia.  
There is also XEGS in Sinaloa.  

Because of the distance and super powered signals, it’s easier to hear Asians.

Good DX.

Richard.

The only signals detected here this morning were hets coming from the southwest 
on 558 (Qld?), 612 (4QR?) and 702 (2BL?). The strongest being on 558 kHz. 
Reception was hampered by a local thunderstorm. 

Receiver: Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5-inch plug-in ferrite loop.

Good DX all.

[IRCA] La Voz Consuelo 670 kHz

[Richard Allen]

Does anyone know the identity of La Voz Consuelo heard on 670 kHz?  

It was heard 9/21/11, from 1129 until fade out at 1203 UTC, on 670 kHz playing 
música ranchera with several La Voz Consuelo ID's, but no call or QTH.  I 
assume it's either XETRO or XEIS.

[IRCA] KOKC 1520 currently simulcasting KWTV 9

Because of wild fires within the Oklahoma City metropolitan are, KOKC 1520 is 
currently simulcasting KWTV 9.  I have no idea how late KOKC will continue to 
carry programming  from Newsroom 9 HD.

It was another record setting day of plus 100° temperatures in the state of

Re: [IRCA] PL-606 LW/MW plug-in antenna mod?

[Richard Allen]

Stephen:

I think the closest you will get to a schematic is the PL-606 Functional Block 
Diagram in the Operation Manual that came with the receiver.

I attempted the mod by re-routing the antenna wire via the two points indicated 
in the photo provided by Gary DeBock.  It didn't work, I don't know whether it 
was something I did wrong or that the SW/FM antenna jack is not connected 
there.  I've not heard from anyone who has completing this mod on the PL-606, 
only the PL-310.

If you try it again please keep us posted on your success.  Good luck and 73's.

  Anyone by any chance know if there's a schematic or something available for

  My dad  I were probing in it with a multimeter and a couple other tools, 
trying to figure out what's what.  We did figure out a few things with the FM 
antenna, but non-radio issues prevented us from doing much with the AM at that 
time so I put the radio back together for now.
  I sure hope someone either knows how to do the mod, or has a schematic or 
something (so we could more easily figure out how to do it), but if I'm the 
first one to successfully do it, hopefully I'll remember to take and post 
notes/photos.

  I'm kinda curious as to how much ground WNAX can cover in the daytime. From 
  roadtrips I've done in recent years, I've been able to note the following -- 


  Iowa City, IA 8/28/2002 Good signal, 3 on a scale of 1 (faint) to 5 
  (local) 

  Custer, SD 10/3/2002 Poor signal, rate it a 2 
  Otter Tail Lake, MN 8/2/2008 Very good signal, rate it a 3 1/2
  Grand Forks, ND 8/3/2008 Good signal, rate it a 3 
  Salina, KS 5/31/2010 Fair signal, rate it a 2 1/2 (through 
  lots of WIBW splash)
  Washington, MO 4/16/2011 Not there at all 
  Jefferson City, MO 4/17/2011 Still not there, until...
  Boonville, MO 4/17/2011 Faint, rate it a 1 

  So that should give you some idea of what their daytime coverage looks like. 
  Not quite as big as CBK or KFYR, but still pretty impressive.

but instead, stupid sports talk! Since E720 shifted an hour later to 04-06 UT

  The last looped WSW instead of NW like the others, which fits for Australia, 
where WRTH lists 17 ``high-power open narrowcast stations``, HP meaning max 400 
watts! And there are no Asians or other Pacificans on 1611. I double-checked 
the frequency and it was right on 1611, so unlikely to have been a US TIS 
variant. Still, it`s hard to believe I would even be getting such a carrier. 
The 100 kW VL8s on 120m were not audible today.

  In my scans there may be others only 1 kHz from 10-kHz channels which I 
simply can`t detect due to the QRM; thus those logged above end in -2, -3, -4, 
-5, -6, -7, or -8. But 1610, of course, has no broadcasters of normal power in 
the US, just HAR/TIS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

  UNIDENTIFIED. 1440, trying for the WFNY, Gloversville NY DX test at 06-07 UT 
March 6, mostly dominating the jumble was an ESPN station, perhaps WGEM Quincy

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 2/28/11

[Richard Allen]

Listening at 1255-1303 UTC (LSR 1302) I heard carrier, no audio, on 702, 774, 
828 and 972 kHZ.  The het on 972 was the strongest heard since early October.  
Receiver was Tecsun with 7.5-inch loopstick.

Despite a local thunderstorm, I was able to hear some TP signals this morning 
using a Tecsun PL-310 attached to a 7.5 loopstick.

Slights carriers were heard on 594, 828 and 972 kHz between 1259 and 1307 UTC

audio on 774 kHz at 1311 UTC.

  Been monitoring 1590 all evening without a trace of the test tones until 
  now. It's a little after 8PM Central time (02:07Z) and the tones are active.

  Tone test on 1590 noted again this evening at 9:15pm CST, off at 
  10pm and back on a few minutes later. This is the fourth day it
  has been heard up here.

  If this is not WVNA then it must
  be a station close to Steve Francis in Alcoa, Tenn. who reported it
  last night as STRONG and in a N/S 
  direction. Perhaps in
  west Georgia?? 

  South of Steve are two
  possibilities (from old NRC Log) WALG Albany, WTGA Thomaston
  with a third, WQCH Lafayette less likely, which is 
  more
  westerly.

Re: [IRCA] TT'er on 1590 - IDENTIFIED

[Richard Allen]

Tom:

I'm presently hearing WZRX broadcasting a Southern Mississippi-Allcorn State 
baseball game.  A good signal in north central Oklahoma at local sunset (0018 
UTC).  Now if I could identify the QRM on 1590.

Earlier in day, heard 1590 WAIK for about an hour past local sunrise.  Last 
night it was 1590 WCGO in Assyrian with WZRX QRM.  The two Illinois signals 
often get out this far.

Good DX  73's.

  Yesterday 
  evening Rich Allen in Perry, Okl., heard WZRX 1590
  Jackson, Miss. 
  with tones, news, an ID and then more
  tones around 05:00 UTC.. 

  This
  matches the loop bearing and times for what I have been hearing the

  didn't happen.

I just checked 1590 kHz, at 2025 UTC, and WZRX is again broadcasting the test

Their schedule shows they should be carrying the Phil Valentine Show to

  Subject: [IRCA] John Bryant's NRD-535D / Timewave DSP / Portable CaseReceiver 
Setup on Ebay


  Was I ever surprised today to see the late John Bryant's portable JRC
  NRD-535D rackmount case setup for auction on Ebay. This project of
  interconnected NRD-535D, twin Timewave DSP-9+ units, S-meter, and audio
  switching network inside of a portable rackmount case was John's primary
  DXpedition receiver before he got hooked on the Winradio SDR receivers. I
  spent many hours on Grayland DXpeditions with John, sitting across from him
  and this fine receiver and accessory setup:

  
http://cgi.ebay.com/JRC-NRD-535-D-Receiver-Timewave-DSP9-anvil-case-/270677363746

  The Austin, Texas seller says he purchased the equipment at a radio auction,
  but has decided not to keep it. I contacted the seller to let him know about
  John Bryant and the background of this one-of-a-kind setup.

  The receiver has a couple of Kiwa filter modules inside, and I am almost
  certain it has *all *other Kiwa modifications for the NRD-535D, too. I
  remember that John had spoken of sending it to Craig at Kiwa Electronics for
  full house mods.

  The white/translucent rectangles that can be seen stuck on the receiver's
  main tuning knob are chunks of heavy duty, sticky-backed snap fastener
  material. I'm sure these can be peeled off and the remaining goo cleaned
  off satisfactorily. John used the fastener material to hold his spin wheel
  attachment for easier tuning. I don't believe this flat plate with finger
  hole (which extended beyond the tuning knob) is included with the auction.

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP' 11/30/10

[Richard Allen]

Gary:

Thanks.  I'm only listing it as tentative.  It's a conflict of I'm sure, but 
not sure.  There was definitely a signal breaking through on 1566.  But it was 
barely audible, fading in and out under the lower sideband of 1570 XERF 
(100kW).  What little program content I could hear sounded like hymnal music 
followed by man speaking in an Asian language, maybe Japanese.  I've listened 
to the recording several time but it doesn't change anything.

73's,

Richard.

Re: [IRCA] Tecsun PL-606 DSP Receiver Review

[Richard Allen]

Thanks Gary.  You once again did an excellent review.  

I've been using a PL-606 for about a fortnight and found it an excellent 
ultralight receiver. It has excellent sensitivity and selectivity. Before TP 
propagation went downhill, I was able to hear signals from Japan on the 
barefoot PL-606.

  Hello All,
   
  For those interested in the latest technological advances in AM-DXing  
  portables, a full 6-page review of the newest Ultralight radio sensation (the 
 
  compact PL-606 AM-FM-SW-LW receiver) has been uploaded to DXer.Ca (at

  group file site, and also to _http://www.mediafire.com/?gcu6zgyxb724cy2_ 
  (http://www.mediafire.com/?gcu6zgyxb724cy2)  .
   
  Detailing Tecsun's successful effort to combine the class-leading 100 mm  
  loopstick (of the PL-310 model) with 1 kHz DSP selectivity in a very small  
  cabinet, the article includes many photos, information on PL-606 quirks and  
  advantages, and the results of a four-band competitive performance test  
  against the PL-380 and PL-310 models. At $39.95 (plus $20.00 shipping from 
Hong

  yet  of AM sensitivity, selectivity and portability.

TP signal propagation to this part of the planet was about the same as 
yesterday.  I listened on my Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5-inch loopstick from 1107 to 
1327 UTC.  Local sunrise was at 1317 UTC.

747  JOIB Sapporo J, 1203, woman talking fading away 1204, hvy QRM from KRMG 
740  WSB 750.
774  JOUB Akita J, 1107-1134, brief patches of audio fading in  out, never at 
a comfortable listening level.

Carriers (hets) were noticed on 558, 594, 693, 702, 792, 828, 972 (trace only) 
and 1566.  The latter was just below the audible threshold at sunrise with slop 
from XERF 1570.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I must say I'd been better off sleeping in this morning.  I started listening 
earlier hearing a man talking in JJ on 774 kHz at 1030 UTC.  The signal faded 
in and out until 1059, and was never at a comfortable listening level. JOUB 
audio was again heard at 1220-1224.  Otherwise, it was only a few slight hets 
on 567, 594, 774, 828 and 972 kHz.  Overall the TP signals were weaker than the 
past few morning, more like what is expected here in February.

I also notice skywave signals faded away promptly after local sunrise.  
Normally this time of year they are sometime heard to mid-morning.

CKRM 620  CKOM 650 were audible this morning.  Several SK stations are heard 
most nights.  I usually catch my Canadian news from CBW 990 from MB.  It's well 
heard hear most nights.  ON stations are harder to hear, usually only CFZM most 
nights battleing with nearby KRMG.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for things to improve during the week.  Good DX.

A fantastic report.

I've never heard any Aussie MW stations here.  But this morning I managed to 
hear VL8A, 2310 (poor), and parallel VL8T, 2325 (barely audible), around 1330 
UTC, on a barefoot Tecsun PL-606 ultralight receiver.  So maybe there is a 
chance I'll catch a medium wave sender some day.

  TP signals were better, and different, this morning.  

  Receiver: Modified Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5-inch loopstick.  Local sunrise at 
1309 UTC.

  594  JOAK Tokyo J, 1241-1326, fair.
  693  JOAB Tokyo J, 1245-1319, fair; het fading away at 1317.
  702  unID, 1223, weak het.
  774  JOUB Akita J, 1214-1322, fair.
  828  JOBB Osaka J, 1231, strong het; 1307, man JJ, poor.
  873  JOGB Kumamoto J, 1304, man JJ, fair.
  972  unID (HLCA?), 1211, weak het (QRM: KBUL 970); 1252, ear splitting het 
(QRM: XEJ 970).
  1053 unID, 1255, weak carrier; 1310, barely audible talk, fading away at 1311.
  1134 JOQR Tokyo J, 1257-1258, man JJ, poor.
  1242 unID (JOLF?), 1309, weak het; 1316, fair het.

  Signals seemed to benefit from a sunrise lift with JOAB/JOAK/JOUB being 
heard later than before this fall.  I wish I'd listened more closely to 1053 
kHz. Overall, anytime I can hear Asian signals in Oklahoma is considered pretty 
good. 

  I hope the folks west of me have a good morning of TP DX.

I've been hearing Algeria on 531 kHz since about 2349 UTC, sometimes with fair

Spanish.  No other MW signals detected yet.

  Tom,

  Most likely Algeria but Spain is also a good possibility and Kaz reported 
many Spaniards last night from his DX Shack in Grafton, WI.  Keep trying and 
also check 549  for Algeria which is usually stronger than 531 here on the East 
Coast.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 11/8/10

[Richard Allen]

Not much to report from earlier this morning.  At 1158 UTC, I heard a man 
speaking in Japanese on 774 kHz, but the signal soon faded out.  The only other 
signal audible was a carrier (het) on 702 kHz.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 11/7/10

[Richard Allen]

TP signals weren't as good here this morning as yesterday.  Local sunrise was 
at 1259 UTC. 

693  JOAB Tokyo J, 1254, weak JJ audio //JOIB 747.  Audio faded out 1313.
702  unID (possibly Chongjin KRE), 1155, carrier (het).  Raspy carrier at 1232 
with QRM from KHSE 700.  Signal faded out at 1259.
747  JOIB Sapporo J, 1114, JJ audio.  Audible off and on until fading out at 
1310.
774  JOUB Akita J, 1102, JJ audio.  Signal had a sunrise lift, not fading out 
until 1310.  The carrier was audible to 1315.
828  unID (probably JOBB), 1239, het below XEIK 830.
891  unID, 1241, het.
972  unID (probably HLCA), 1225, weak het.

 The raspy carrier signal on 702 kHz was possibly from North Korea.  It faded 
away at sunrise. 

After the Asian signals faded out, I listened to XETCH 700 from 1320 until it 
faded away under KHSE at 1345.

Receiver was a Tecsun PL-310 ultralight attached to a 7.5-inch loopstick.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 11/6/10

[Richard Allen]

After seeing the report from Alabama, my observations may be somewhat 
anticlimatic.  TP signals received here were the best since late September.  
Using a Tecsun PL-310 ultralight receiver attached to a 7.5-inch loopstick, I 
listen at 1119-1310 UTC.  Local sunrise was at 1258.

Carrier from the direction of 320° were audible on 558, 648, 702, 819, 828, and 
891, also possibly on 666 and 1134.  Audio was heard from JOAK 594, JOAB 693, 
JOIB 747, JOUB 774, HLCA 972 and unID (HLAZ?) 1566.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 11/5/10

[Richard Allen]

Listening at 1216-1311 UTC, I found TP signals were improved here this morning. 
 Carrier signals were noted on 558, 648, 693, 702, 738, 828, 891, 972, 1134 and 
1242.  The hets on 828 and 972 were very strong at sunrise (1257 UTC).  JOIB 
747 and JOUB 774 were heard with Basic English lessons, sometimes at fair 
strength.

Receiver: Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5-inch loopstick.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 11/2/10

[Richard Allen]

It was another rotten morning for hearing TP signals in the heartland.  
Listening at 1225-1304 UTC, I heard carriers, but no audio, on 558, 648, 702, 
774, 792, 828 and 972 kHz.  The signals on 828 and 972 were the strongest.  
Receiver: Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5-inch loopstick.  Local sunrise at 1254 UTC.

I listened briefly last evening and heard barely audible talk on 1215 kHz after 
0619 UTC.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 11/1/10

[Richard Allen]

Simply the worst morning for TP DX here this fall.  Between 1216 and 1302 UTC, 
a few carriers (hets) audible on 648, 702, 774, 972 and 1134.  With the 
exception of 972 kHz, all were weak.  

Receiver: Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5-inch loopstick.  Local sunrise was at 1252 UTC.

I hope the morning was better for you.

Gary:

As I've said in the past, the west coast DXers have some advantages over those 
of us inland.  Surprisingly, this morning the best of signals were not from 
Japan, but 648 and 972 kHz.  I haven't listened to the recording, but there was 
something happening on 1134 for the first time this fall.  Until tomorrow.

Good DX.

Richard.

  Hi Richard,
   
  Sorry that the TP's didn't come out of the noise for you this morning.  
  They certainly have been shy, recently.
   
  Apparently the sun got its act together before the west coast sunrise this  
  morning, though, and we had several fairly good Asian signals. 639-CNR1 
  made its  first decent appearance in about 2 weeks, along with a few other 
  common TP's.  Hopefully these will show up for you also, tomorrow.
   
  73, Gary

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 10/31/10

[Richard Allen]

TP's signals received here this morning were nothing to brag about.

Receiver was Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5-inch loopstick.  Local sunrise was at 1252 
UTC.

558  unID, 1237, carrier.
693  JOAB Tokyo J, 1221-1226, man talking JJ, moderate KGGF 690 slop.  That was 
the best spot of the morning.  Het heard at 1256, fading away by 1257.
702  unID, 1238, weak carrier.
774  unID (JOUB?), 1214, weak carrier.  Heard fading in  out throughout the 
session.
792  unID, 1240, weak carrier (het).
828  unID (JOBB?), 1241, carrier, stronger than 774.  Slight het still audible 
at 1302.
972  unID (HLCA?), 1230, slight het.  Stronger at 1243,

Last evening, I heard F'kirina ALG on 531, at 0326, with AA talk.  Hets were 
also audible on 549, 909 and 1089 kHz.  

Good day.
