Had some of the usual TA signals, none with great audio. We're likely in what some call the mid-winter anomaly. Hot two weeks to a month ago, cx not terribly good this week-long trip here.

Re: [IRCA] Hets on high side of 1520 and low side of 1540
I think that WCKY has had some audio + signal issues over the past few months. At about 100 air miles (at night) their signal often sounds muddy or even like properly tuned SSB (slightly artificial / garbled). I have also noticed that their signal is very fat, producing way to much splatter. I have noticed this on several different receivers. Sounds like they need to do what WSCR 670-IL has done and take it down for a night or two to see what's up. AND that is okay with me as they are my only log on 1530. :) 73, Dave in Indy -- Message: 6 Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 09:42:07 -0500 From: Saul DX To: , Subject: Re: [IRCA] Hets on high side of 1520 and low side of 1540 Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original No question in my mind this is WCKY.

Re: [IRCA] Hets on the upper end of band + TWR Benin-1566?
Thanks Nick for the info. I really don't have any idea about what any of the stations are. To get the R4-C to work on the BCB band I need to a 10 meter converter ahead of the rig. The attenuation of the converter is to great. I have thought about building a 10 meter amplifier to go between the converter and the rig, but that is something for the future. I did not report 1134 but I did have a weak het back around 0100. The IBOC from WRVA-1140 was giving me fits at the time. At the moment I am looking for day time stations to the west of me, that might be on the air because of all bad weather that is heading my way. At 0200 did hear weather warnings for the New Orleans area from WWL-870. They have a few tornados there today. At 0330 it is geting where I am going to have to disconnect the outside antennas, it is starting rain and the wind up,really blowing the trees. 73's Willis Old Fort, TN - Original Message - From: "Nick Hall-Patch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 1:06 AM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Hets on the upper end of band + TWR Benin-1566? > At 05:11 AM 2/6/2008, Willis wrote: >>Doing a quick scan of the upper part of the AM BCB band I have hets >>on the following frequencies > > > only 1215 and 1134 delivered weak carriers here so far as I could tell. > > I wonder if your 1566 was the new Trans World Radio from Benin?

Also 1078 is not a TA frequency. You'd never detect this directly by listening on 1070. Only indirectly by seeing if any programming you could hear on 1070 might sound like it was a satellite feed. Or another indirect way is to see if the signals go off simultanelously when the station cuts away to local origination and even that is not foolproof. because it might be an artifact in the audio chain at the station. I am certain this is not of Cuban origin. - Bob ___ 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
[IRCA] Hets on 1062 and 1078
For the first time since September 07 I am hearing hets. On 1062 and 1078. They are VERY strong! but no audio. Not sure if they really are hets or thye Cubans with an open carrier. 1078 may not be a TA. Any one else hearing these?
