Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?

[Patrick Martin]

I know I have never logged India here on 594. 1134 is heard in Hawaii, but 
never IDed here either. 1566 is probably the most common, if you can call them 
that. When I have that Sub continental DX, it is always after LSR.

Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?

[Patrick Martin]

DXing on the coast in a rural area, India is quite rare here, even with 
antennas aimed in that general direction. I have two to date, AIR 864 Shillong 
(100KW) that John Bryant's student IDed for me (QSL'd), and AIR 1566 IDed for 
the India DX Club. It takes excellent conditions and the skip in the right 
direction. I figure on mornings when Thailand 891 was booming in, I had a shot 
at that part of Asia. It happens with India, Bangladesh (558) as well as Nepal. 
But again it is not common here. I would be very surprised if anyone could log 
it from the center of the US. The NF guys have gotten it as well as some of us 
on the West Coast. I have friends in Asia that gets India often, but they are a 
lot closer.

Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Thanks for the recent offset on AIR Mauno.   That 
should be very visible then, and I don't think I 
saw any sign of it yesterday.   ABC was quite 
strong and became dominant after 1330UT, but 
we're talking carriers here, any audio was pretty much in the mud by that time.


(Spectran is also good software for looking at offsets in the audio beat note)

best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?

[Glenn Hauser via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
We may now relax --- I monitored 594 continuously from 1130 UT today, and found 
a very steady signal which continued past 1430 UT  2.5 hours after sunrise, 
so never mind Kolkata (unless it`s groundwave, ha ha). Amazing coincidence that 
*something else* would be putting a signal on its exact split frequency from 
its direxion. Not inside my household, at least. Possibly spur from my local 
960 KGWA which is about the same angle from here. I will be driving around to 
confirm that or not. Full report to follow. 73, Glenn

Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?

[Nick Hall-Patch]

The end of August can be a strange and interesting time for 
transpolar signals.  There were TA carriers in western Canada a 
couple of nights ago after quite a short period of quiet 
conditions.  Unfortunately, the 29th was the one morning my SDR 
recordings failed, but the signal strength monitor recording looked 
lively, and this morning  (30th) showed the first signs of mainland 
China this season as geomagnetic conditions worsened.At 1320UT 
when we had our grayline to India, JOAK ruled the roost, no 
argument.   There were two other carriers as well as JOAK 
however0.4 and 0.6 lower, 0.9 and 1.9Hz higher, plus a couple of 
others, and some got within 10dB or so of JOAK (briefly).


So, I won't join the naysayers on this.   I would encourage other

Nothing else to add - in 40+ years of DXing, I've never picked up India over 
Japan in late August.

Anything is possible.

I would normally defer to the expertise of the Pacific Northeast MW DXers on 
this, but you seem to be ignoring the factors I am basing this on --- DF from 
the north, the existence of a grayline path at this hour, and a megawatt to 
start with. I was getting 774 Japan carrier about the same time at its usual 
northwest DF, and 594 was definitely not the same direxion. A transpolar 
grayline from India would not apply to your location. I hope other DXers in 
central North America will give this a try just before local sunrise. I am not 
likely to be able to pull any audio. Language at that time is Bangla/Bengali. A 
simple DX-398 is handy for DFing vs big fixed antennas.

 Unless
 you heard some distinctive music or established a parallel
 or online stream,I'd say with 99%
 certainty that you were tuning in Japan.
 India is indeed possible on the West Coast --
 with better than average antennasand receivers
 and ideal conditions.
 We are currently at a medium low point in the DX
 season which "should" turn aroundin the
 next 2 - 3 weeks if past experience is any
 guide.

This makes me think of the time a few weeks ago I thought I had A3Z Tonga
and it turned out to be CRI, China.

Dangblasted!

India is indeed possible on the West Coast -- with better than average
antennas
and receivers and ideal conditions.

We are currently at a medium low point in the DX season which "should" turn
around
in the next 2 - 3 weeks if past experience is any guide.

Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?

[Chuck Hutton]

It's not uncommon to have a skewed path for stuff skirting the auroral zone. 
With Tokyo at 318, it wouldn't take much skewing to result in your 355 degree 
reading.


I consider that much, much, much more likely than India 594.

Walt, Well, this was looping too far north for Japan, and certainly for Down 
Under. Will try to refine the DF if I have another chance.

The path goes about 5 degrees from the North Pole, across Cold Bay and The Pas 
in Canada, 13440 km or 8351 miles to Enid; 74.4 watts per km, or 13.44 meters 
per watt (if it were strictly along the surface) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

 Glenn, I don't
 think any of us on the PNW coast have ever heard 594.  Much
 more likely this time of year are DU stations.  Normally in
 the Fall/Winter, it's a major NHK frequency.  Perhaps
 Patrick Martin just might have heard your station?
