11-18-09 23;00 PST --Victoria BC Strong whistle between 740 and 750 with possible audio with spanish male voice but not clear enough to ID the language in and out for about 15 minutes until fading .Was that a TA or TP.Is it possible for signals to hop across both oceans at this time? Appreciate any tips on this one.Thanks.Bill in BC __ Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8. Optimized for Yahoo!

Re: [IRCA] 747-Ta or TP?
Hi Bill: I had near-audio on 747 last night as well but couldn't pull out any words - too much slop from 750. 747 on the TA side is likely either the Netherlands or Bulgaria, with Iran or Syria also in the mix - how sure are you that it was Spanish? Radio Nacional in Spain on 747 is only 5 kw, which would be g reat catch but pretty tough. I like to use http://www.hermanboel.eu/emwg/online-mw1.htm for TA info (which is where I got the above info). TPs start coming in around that time this time of year, but there aren't any Spanish TPs that I know of.

Don't forget the Canary Islands station, which is 20 kW and obviously in a good position to get sea gain to help launch strong low angle skywaves. Along with Holland, they are the 747 TAs normally heard here. Bill heard the station at 0700 UTC, and sunrise today at the Las Palmas transmitter location is not until 0727, so it's entirely plausible that Bill could hear them at that time.

Another possibility would be Canary Islands. They are in the clear here on the East Coast. They would probably be the last one to fade out/ Bill Harms sa...@sounddsl.com wrote: Hi Bill: I had near-audio on 747 last night as well but couldn't pull out any words - too much slop from 750. 747 on the TA side is likely either the Netherlands or Bulgaria, with Iran or Syria also in the mix - how sure are you that it was Spanish?

Barry Plus the fact that JOUB runs Japanese to Spanish lessons at times. I've heard them at local sunrise. Don't know if they would have them at 11pm PST or not. But, indeed a possibility. Especially with their power.

And yes, the last little while we've had stuff from Europe coming in still, even as the TPs start to fade in as well. 747 is a possible frequency for that, as Holland sunrise and Sapporo sunset are both around 0700UT, and the Dutch station on 747 has been heard here this season. 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
