The time slot 1220-1300 is a little problematic here on 738 because of heavy 
predawn splatter from 740-KCBS, and 1143 usually isn't received very well here 
at that time. I'll try for them again next Saturday night Taiwan time, though. 
Nick in Victoria usually receives 1143 much better than I do, so he may be able 
to track down a signal prior to 1300 on our local Saturday morning.

Gary,

OK, they must have changed the day. I wonder if the same applies for 
Indonesian 1220-1300?

Gary DeBock kirjoitti 26.3.2018 klo 6:28:

Mauno,

The recordings here indicate that this special program on Taiwan 
Fisheries is broadcast ONLY on Saturday night, Taiwan time. This 
morning at 1312 UTC (2112 Sunday night, Taiwan time) the 738 station 
was heard back in Chinese, with the usual female announcer 
https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/w2m0amog2ksil30r0uk1uxl1xu7i90hi


Assuming that the program was switched from Sunday night to Saturday 
night in Taiwan, yesterday's recording (at 2135 Saturday night, Taiwan 
time) would be in Tagalog, according to the initial schedule posted at

Indeed it does Gary.  Just out picking up some limbs shook loose by a ‘big 
wind’ we had here a few weeks back and found one part of my 4-element Wellbrook 
phased delta loop on the ground — chewed off by my neighbors wagging maple tree 
limbs.

Fixed it and gave a listen to see how it was working to find even more local 
noise than when I last used it over a month ago.

I long for another trip to Grayland, Lubec or even the eastern shore of 
Maryland where we can at least find much reduced levels of QRN and a shot at 
some DX across a pond.

Thanks Bill,

Theo D. (my Kiwi English translator every August) was kind enough to sleuth 
this one out for me, providing me with this link giving the full details on 
this Taiwan Fisheries special operation 
www.atimes.com/article/radio-program-for-migrant-fishermen-airs-on-sundays/

If your 1143 reception in Grayland was on Sunday night Taiwan time, you may 
have tracked down their Tagalog program, making it sound like a Philippines 
station.

<<< That audio’s kind of rough Gary. >>>

Yes, my neighbor has apparently deployed a plasma TV or something, causing an 
S6 noise level on most MW frequencies here in Puyallup. The FSL's can null the 
noise down to about S3, but it's just one more reason to head for the ocean 
coast for anything exotic. Sound familiar?

That audio’s kind of rough Gary.  Wouldn’t hazard a guess at the language - 
though it’s NOT Mandarin.  ;-)

In going thru Grayland wav files from a month back I found 1143 going out of 
Mandarin and into what appeared to be Tagalog or some other Philippino dialect. 
 I can’t recall the time now.

Yet another station using MW for its ‘international’ service apparently.

[IRCA] 738-Magic Tracked Down and ID'ed... 4 Months Later

[d1028gary]

Thanks very much to Rockwork 4 DXpedition partner Tom Rothlisberger for 
checking his 738 kHz files for July 9th, and confirming that we both had 
received 738-Magic (5 kW in Canterbury, New Zealand) without ever knowing it. 

My reception was on a "backup" 15" FSL that was et up primarily to record a 
huge signal from 738-Tahiti at the time. That 18-minute MP3 recording wasn't 
even reviewed until this morning, when the mystery co-channel showed up 
underneath Tahiti late in the recording. Tom reviewed his own files for the 
time and not only found the mystery co-channel, but a "Magic" ID as well. So 
primarily as a result of the clunker conditions this morning, we both have a 
new (and pretty unusual) Kiwi station in our July DXpedition logs.

Re: [IRCA] 738 Tahiti at decent level at 06:47 UTC

[Walter Salmaniw]

Any chance for running some coax across the road and then to a BOG?  In
years past, I thought about using underground conduits (pipes, etc) to run
under the road by my Haida Gwaii property to access 160 acres of forested
land.  I've never done so, as I have plenty of space down to the ocean, but
the thought had occurred to me to experiment.   Of course running a line on
the road is probably not very wise, unless it's buried under snow and ice!

Right now, it'd be buried under snow and iceThe road in front of the
radio station is a "major" road its not very busy, but i think it's a
main road. .so no go for layin something across the road.

[IRCA] 738-Tahiti Rocks In Again

[d1028gary]

It isn't nearly as exotic as Nick's recording of an apparent 1017-Tonga this 
morning, but 738-Tahiti was also unusually strong from south of the Equator 
this morning-- maybe a consolation prize for this lackluster location? This was 
African-sounding music at good strength at 1343 UTC-- pretty typical of its 
signal from 1250-1400.

Homme en francais 0517UT.  Not too long after local sunset there, so 
perhaps a boost from that.   It did fade pretty quickly.  People 
further east might want to see if they  can hear this at this time or 
slightly earlier if their local conditions allow.

 Here you go Tim.   http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/4tim/ 
 contains two .wav files from 1333UT this morning, both in LSB, one 
 with the receiver tuned to 828.4kHz, the other tuned to 738.4 kHz
 
 There's a faster SAH on 828; if you play back the file on a spectral 
 display program, you'd see one het at 400.05 Hz, the other at 
 402.7Hz, 2.65Hz separation, so the swishing sound repeats about 2 1/2 
 times per second.  I suspect these could be 3GI and JOBB?? (the 
 MWoffset list says that they have about a 1.5Hz separation, but the 
 records are from 5 and 6 years ago.   Guess I should try measuring 
 them when I know for sure which station I'm hearing!)
 
 738 has a slightly slower SAH (the two carriers are closer together), 
 but it also sounds a bit more complex, because there are at least 
 five (!) different hets there:  396.5, 400.9 and 401.5 Hz, with the 
 two strongest forming the slower SAH (compared with 828) at 398.0 and 
 399.4Hz   The strongest are likely 2NR and R. Polynesie?  Both were 
 heard this morning.
 
 Hope this helps.

[IRCA] 738 Tahiti from Michigan

[Tim Tromp]

A steady het was noticed around 5am EST on 738.  Checking again just before
6am, the het was much stronger and I could tell from the Perseus waterfall
display that it was producing audio.  Careful nulling of CFZM helped to
recover the weak audio that I could match against the Polynésie 1 web feed
during a short musical piece just before TOH.  While not new, this is the
first time I've heard them well before my local sunrise.  576 also had a
het, but much much weaker with no hope of audio.  Nothing from 702.

[IRCA] 738 RFO Tahiti

[Walter Salmaniw]

Just before turning in, I'd thought I'd check 738 and sure enough, it's
relatively strong, that is, there's a weakly audible signal present at
05:58 UTC.  A bit too much splatter using a large diameter ALA 100 loop,
aimed close to N/S.  I'll have to look into a Flag or Pennant in the
backyard before the onset of DX season hereWalt in Victoria, BC.

[IRCA] 738-Tahiti Audio at 0502... the Fake TA

[D1028Gary]

Hello All,
 
All the reports of TA activity in the east and midwest made me scramble for 
 my ICF-2010 spotting receiver, in hopes of hearing the new season's first 
TA  audio (six of them were heard here last season). Scanning the band 
eagerly, I  noticed that the usual suspects on 675, 693, 756 and 1377 had 
ghostlike  heterodynes at best, but there was a booming carrier on 738 kHz. 
Turning 
the  ICF-2010 toward the Asiatic TP direction nulled out the heterodyne, 
convincing  me that something was coming in from Europe  :-)
 
Setting up the 9' PVC box loop and modified C.Crane SWP Ultralight in  the 
back yard, the monster loop was quickly turned to the NE / SW direction (for 
 Europe), and immediately brought in a nice audio signal on 738 kHz! After  
recording a few minutes of apparent French, I checked the band again for 
more  TA's, finding nothing. Thinking over this bizarre situation, I 
suddenly  remembered that the French voices I heard on 738 were the same ones

Hello All,

All the reports of TA activity in the east and midwest made me scramble 
for

my ICF-2010 spotting receiver, in hopes of hearing the new season's first
TA  audio (six of them were heard here last season). Scanning the band
eagerly, I  noticed that the usual suspects on 675, 693, 756 and 1377 had
ghostlike  heterodynes at best, but there was a booming carrier on 738 
kHz. Turning

the  ICF-2010 toward the Asiatic TP direction nulled out the heterodyne,
convincing  me that something was coming in from Europe  :-)

Setting up the 9' PVC box loop and modified C.Crane SWP Ultralight in  the
back yard, the monster loop was quickly turned to the NE / SW direction 
(for

Europe), and immediately brought in a nice audio signal on 738 kHz! After
recording a few minutes of apparent French, I checked the band again for
more  TA's, finding nothing. Thinking over this bizarre situation, I
suddenly  remembered that the French voices I heard on 738 were the same 
ones that

were  heard before in the RFO broadcasts from Tahiti last summer. Then it
became clear that this TA was actually Tahiti fading in on its sunset 
peak

(at the same time that Europe would fade in on its sunrise peak), using a
European language at the same (reciprocal) loop bearing as Europe on the 
9'

loop! It's nice to hear Tahiti in this DU-dead zone (for only the second

Hi Saul,
 
You probably had a real TP heterodyne on 738 at the same time I had the  
fake TA audio on the frequency :-) 
 
French audio from 738-Tahiti had never been received here previously  
during our local evening, and was only received once here during our sunrise TP 
 
peak (in August of last year). This station (like all trans-equatorial DX) 
is SO  much easier to receive on a Pacific Ocean beach, rather than in this 
DU-dead  zone 90 miles inland.

Tnanks. It was not long in duration, and very weak during a het bandscan 
conducted soon after sunrise. I only wish I could tell you I received it on 
the loopstick-modified Tecsun 380, but in fact it was on the AOR 7030 Plus, 
and south-north wire.


TA hets noticeably weaker tonight, but then again last night's peak here was 
after midnight local time. Overall cx seem ho-hum...

[IRCA] 738-BEL2 (Taiwan Fisheries) Apparently Fixes the Buzzing Carrier

[D1028Gary]

Hello All,
 
For the second day in a row, the signal from Taiwan's 738 kHz BEL2 station  
has had a clean-sounding carrier, which is much improved from its ragged 
sound  during the entire month of September.
 
Yesterday the BEL2 signal showed up with a clean sound for the first  time 
on my 3' bedside loop, making me think I had finally found the  
clean-carrier South Korean KBS station reported by Bruce, Guy and others  :-)
 
This morning, when testing the new 9' PVC box loop here for the first time  
in TP-DXing, not only did BEL2 have a clean-sounding, strong signal on 738  
kHz, but the KBS station HLKG (South Korean) was also easily heard, along 
with  another Chinese station under these two. The gain of the 9' loop made 
these  three stations mix together for a nice MP3 at 1400 UTC, making the 
frequency  sound like a TP graveyard channel.

[IRCA] 738 Taiwan's Ragged Carrier Revealed in Perseus Waterfall Display

[Guy Atkins]

Gary DeBock and others have had frequent comments this month about the
ragged carrier of 738 Taiwan.

I decided to take a close look at 738 with the Perseus receiver's feature
called Zoom mode. Sure enough, there's something strange about the 738
signal! I've posted a screen capture of 738 Taiwan's signal here:  *

[IRCA] 738 Taiwan's Ragged Carrier Revealed in Perseus Waterfall ...

[D1028Gary]

Hi Guy,
 
Thanks very much for posting the photo of the Perseus' waterfall display of 
 the 738-Taiwan ragged carrier.
 
For some reason, the 738-Taiwan audio (on your Perseus  SDR) in the MP3 
clip sounds much more normal than the typical  738-Taiwan audio received here 
on the C.Crane SWP ultralight. Maybe the Perseus  filtering removes some of 
the noisy components of the impaired signal. I posted  an MP3 of 738-Taiwan's 
signal here this morning (of the same approximate signal  strength as your 
MP3) in the Ultralightdx sound file  site, which includes a definite buzzing 
sound in the background of the  Chinese conversation. This buzzing sound 
doesn't show up on the other TP's,  except of course for the North Koreans.

Re: [IRCA] 738 Taiwan's Ragged Carrier Revealed in Perseus

[Guy Atkins]

Hi Gary,

Thanks for posting the MP3 of Taiwan's 738 audio as heard on your
ultralight. Wow, I certainly haven't heard anything like that buzz on 738
over on this side of town! I'd suggest that maybe it's local QRM in your
vicinity, but I know Bruce, Walt, and John have heard the buzzy audio too.

That's a possibility about Perseus being more immune to the noise, but the
three guys mentioned above all have SDR receivers too. I don't think there's
anything special about Perseus compared to Bruce's SDR-IQ or John's WinRadio
that would cause the buzz to disappear or be filtered out. The noise
blanker in Perseus works well and has two effective blanking widths, but I
rarely turn it on. The noise reduction control is used more often, but I
know I haven't tried it on Taiwan 738.

Re: [IRCA] 738 Tahiti audible now

[Guy Atkins]

Hi Walt,

I rewound the tape on Pereus to 0616 from last night's SDR recordings, and
found RFO Tahiti exactly as you described. From 0630-0637 though, they were
doing quite a bit better, with presumed news items in French.

I've just finished my first of four nights babysitting John B's antennas
from his Orcas Island home while he and his wife are exploring Peru. Since I
have a preliminary release of ver. 1.1C of Perseus that can record all of
medium wave, my plan is to record the band continuously from 0530 - 1505
UTC, with an antenna change from the Aussie-beam Super Conti Loop at 1030
UTC to the NW Wellbrook Phased Array (I gotta get up out of bed for the
antenna switch...it ain't automated yet :^)

I had the receiver recording from 200 kHz to 1800 kHz last night, but this
evening I think I will set it for 100 kHz - 1700 MHz to capture more of
longwave.

My plan is to review the previous night's recordings, at least for the
highlights, during the day, and dig in deeper into the DX over the weeks
ahead. More details will probably make their way onto my blog.

Eric, I don't think I'd hear anything either with 50' of wire.  You really need 
to go with something that's made for MW dx..doesn't need a lot of room.  My 
current favourite is the ALA 100 from Wellbrook.  Check out some of the 
loggings from Colin N. who lives way up high in an apartment.  He has a couple 
of ALAs.  Another option is to construct a box loopthose have been around 
for close to a 100 years, and still work wonders.  All sorts of commercial 
loops, etc also 
available.  50' of wire is fine for SW, but woefully inadequate for distant MW
