(KAZ rolled up tonight since it crosses the driveway and I don't want my
friend to shred it with the sno-blower while I'm away for a few days.

A little late to the game, due to my church responsibilities this evening
...

DEC 25 2018

0530z

183 audio
189 mostly a het, but bits of audio
198 weak audio
216 audio
234 audio
252 audio
270 audio, fairly strong at times, making me wonder if a mixing product,
but not English
549 het
1089 weak audio
1215 weak audio

Weak hets on other channels, too weak to bother with.

Merry Christmas!

[IRCA] TAs into my QTH in Victoria

[Volodya S]

I'm definitely the poor cousin for TA activity in Victoria, but at least
I'm getting decent audio on 855 from Romania (// to net feed for
Actualitati), and Egypt with Koranic recitations on 864.  The latter was
pretty good about 03:00, while the latter is coming in well about 03:05
UTC73,   Walt

It has been certainly a much poorer evening here 
Barry, but the Iranian jammer is still making an 
appearance, and quite a few TA carriers, though haven't managed any audio yet.


best wishes,

Nick

Hi Nick,

<<< Next stop, Puyallup? Gary, I think that a
barefoot ultralight might hear it. After all,
didn't Guy Atkins hear Farda on an ultralight? >>>

Yes he did, Nick (on an SRF-39FP during supreme conditions, at Grayland in 
November of 2008). Puyallup is definitely in a much lower propagation league!
As for the 1575-Iranian Jammer, I heard it at S9 in Hawaii, so I'm temporarily 
satisfied. A lot of the Victoria TA's from the Middle East seem to lose their 
steam once they go through U.S. border security.

How quickly the 1575 jammer became part of the landscape, eh?

Next stop, Puyallup?   Gary, I think that a 
barefoot ultralight might hear it.   After all, 
didn't Guy Atkins hear Farda on an ultralight?

My experiences have been very similar to 
Gary's.  I get lots of carriers but not a lot 
of audio.   I hear little bits of audio when 
you guys are reporting good audio on the same 
frequencies. Some of it may be a higher noise 
floor at my house, but that's not necessarily the whole story.


It's not just limited to TAs.  A few years 
ago you and Walt heard a DX test on 960 from 
Ontario, which was a total no-show here, so it 
would appear that Victoria has an advantage in 
that direction. On the surface, the salt water 
path seems to be an advantage for you.


Bruce in Seattle

That's really interesting, Gary.   I will 
not make any jokes about the US border 
protection agency, and move directly into the realm of real speculation.


Victoria city looks out over about 20-60km of 
salt water along the bearings for Europe and 
the Middle East.  I would have thought that 
the fact that I'm 5 km or so from the water on 
those bearings would negate that advantage, 
but perhaps there is more to learn. I think I 
feel an experiment coming on:Â  we have a park 
with about a 40m high cliff (a little one, I 
know) facing out in a TA direction...

Great job with the new catches from the Middle 
East, Nick! Unfortunately most of what is 
being reported in Victoria seems to be held up 
at the border crossing. Some threshold audio 
on 864 showed up here about an hour ago, but 
other than that it's just been carriers at this challenged location.

Craig, there's also an issue with soil salinity.  Nick pointed this out in
the past that Alberta, especially close to the Rocky Mountains has high
soil conductivity, which seems to greatly enhance receptionWalt

Re: [IRCA] TAs, sigh, yet again

[C B via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
 For what it's worth, I have read Nigel's impressive reports from southern 
Alberta in amazement. The regularity of TPs and TAs he receives amazes me as 
his location is quite far inland, as is mine. The consistency with which he 
receives DUs is also noteworthy. Although living adjacent to the Rocky 
Mountains possibly inhibits TP reception by blocking some of the low angle 
signals, it seems that latitude may play a role as well.

Great job with the new catches from the Middle East, Nick!

Great job with the new catches from the Middle East, Nick! Unfortunately most 
of what is being reported in Victoria seems to be held up at the border 
crossing. Some threshold audio on 864 showed up here about an hour ago, but 
other than that it's just been carriers at this challenged location.

Re: [IRCA] TAs, sigh, yet again

[Nick Hall-Patch]

It's really erratic, unfortunately.  Things can 
be quite strong one moment, and gone the next.


Buthave repeated Romania 855//1179 and Egypt 
864//1503 from last night, but bringing up 
webstreams in time seems almost out of the 
question.   1026 was up with a Koranic sounding 
chant, and the best I could say is that the 
Tabriz stream sounded pretty much the same  a minute or two later.




best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] TAs once more, Victoria style

[Nigel Pimblett]

The norm around here seems to be a peak around sunset, then things drop 
off a bit, sometimes rebounding later, but often not.
  Signals have certainly dropped off tonight, only carriers here 
now.    Interestingly quite a strong presumed Farda carrier on 1575, but 
I can't even see the buzz saw on the Perseus display.   I had to confirm 
on a European SDR that it was still on.

No IranianByzzer...



It was very strong here at 3:45 today, lots of hets and one with good audio 
(didn't write freq down but not 855). I thought it might be great night but 
maybe not.

Re: [IRCA] TAs again

I'm hearing weak audio on 1026 as well at 02:54 UTC.  Seems like I get the
ME better than I receive Europe.  Not sure why.  More water somehow?  Poor
level.   Better than last night overall, but not as good as a couple nights
ago!   Walt.

Yep, Radio Tabriz on 1026, 25 second delay from webstream
http://tabriz.irib.ir/liveradio, 0240UT approx (recording will tell me).
Poor at best, but nice sequence of orchestral music, then woman talking.

Only third time that Iran has been heard here at home.   Only others were
1503, no longer with us, and the 1575 jammer, which hardly qualifies.

Looks like it might be opening up at 0225UTgetting a tentative 
signal on 1026 which sounds awfully similar to the Radio Tabriz 
webstream..And audio seems to be coming up on other channels, after a 
couple of hours of futzing around.

Re: [IRCA] TAs again

[Nigel Pimblett]

Not improving here, but not dropping off too rapidly either.   Have had 
the 'regulars' on 1575,1413,1386, but also Iran on 1026, 1197 and 
tentatively 936.    Also UK on 1089 and likely Spain on 999.   Like the 
other night signals pop up briefly and vanish just as quickly, so I've 
likely missed others.

Nigel

[IRCA] TAs in Seattle

[Bruce Portzer]

The TA's have been a lot more exciting in Victoria than in Seattle.

I've mostly been chasing carriers on 1413 and 1386 for the past 45 
minutes.  1413 is the best but has only been producing tantalizing 
traces of audio.


I've also been getting a weaker carrier on 1215, which I assume is Britain.

Certainly nothing as exotic as what Walt has reported.

Bruce

[IRCA] TAs Yet Again!

[Barry McLarnon]

Very spotty tonight, and not a Spanish feeding frenzy like last night, but 
still quite interesting.  Conditions seem to favor France tonight, e.g., a 
huge signal on 1557 busting through the Disney din, and also very good on 
1377.   A new logging here is Radio Maria on 1467, with religious music // 
their web stream.

[IRCA] TAs present (1575 at least)

[Walter Salmaniw]

After Patrick having noticed Finland on 963, last night, I turned on the
Perseus after getting home from work at 00:55 UTC, and am seeing 1575 with
a strong carrier, and 1215 also present at weaker level.  Just checking at
00:59, I'm hearing weak audio at threshold level.  I see two carriers as
well.  If my Perseus is calibrated OK, then the stronger is on 1575.000,
and the weaker on 1575.010 kHz.  Nice to see some signs of life on an
otherwise weak TA season!  73,Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC

[IRCA] TAs in Alberta too

[Nigel Pimblett]

Your posts from out west finally lured me away from all the Halloween 
pirate activity to check out the MW band, and sure enough, TA audio 
noted here on 1575, 1503 (Iran I'm guessing), 1269, and 1116.

Definitely one of the better TA evenings in the west this year, if not the
best evening.  Patrick Martin got into a bit of TA listening in the past,
so wonder if he's at the dials!  73,Walt

[Tony Ward]

Very strong peak noted here also Saul, 100km or so S. of you. 162, 171, 183 
(VERY strong), 198 good. On MW 1521 and 1134 Croatia were locals along with 
many of the usual suspects. However very ordinary by 2220Z (30 minutes later) 
as the magnetic storm presumably hit. N/S paths may perk up later ... 
Absorption was very low today also as nDB YKQ 351 KHz on James Bay at 525 miles 
was in all day on the 700 ft longwire --- a winter phenomenon, not seen since 
early June here.

Jim,
  I believe Iran also uses 702 for Russian at 1930, and 702 does very 
well, as I heard it here many evenings last season, and even a few 
mornings.   Don't think they use 711 though, so may not be your answer.

Re: [IRCA] TAs Tonight

EMWG has English listed at this time, not Russian, and only one station at 
Rasht with 800 kW.  WRTH shows Russian at this time, from Kiahshar with 500 
kW.  Also listed is a 50 kw station in Bushehr.


I no longer remember what cuaased me to say the WRTH conflicts with itself. 
The frequency listing and the national entry are in accord.  Maybe I mixed 
up a different frequency.


Thanks for looking carefully at my report.  After I wrote this I have found 
nearly 20 additional Iranaian stations at the half hour with the distincive 
IS.

(Audible in USB mode on Sony 7600GR) Algeria presumed but not claimed

[IRCA] TAs Tonight

[Barry McLarnon]

A better than usual evening for TAs here... many of the usual suspects have 
good signals (e.g., Algeria on 531/549, UK on 693/882/909/1089/1215, France 
on 603/864/711/1377, Holland on 675/747, Spain 684/774, etc.), but also some 
less common stuff.  Just noted some audio from Benin-1566, and previously had 
the Saudi on 594, and several intriguing unids on 702 (tentative Turkey, 
appeared to be // TRT-1 stream), 765 (suspect Iran), 783 (likely Syria), 936 
(again suspect Iran), and others.

Anybody else hearing interesting stuff?

Barry

Just Absolute on 1215 here, Barry, and not very strong at that, but 
reasonably consistent; guess you must be grabbing all the good stuff 
before it gets here, hi.


best wishes,

Nick

Managed to go over the coax lying on the driveway with the snow blower. 
Managed to shred the coax on both sides of the connector.  Argh.  So no TAs 
tonight.


Barry, as far as I know Turkey has a very limited MW schedule these days, 
listed in the EMWG as on 702 0400-0800.   Turkey was invisible while in 
Newfoundland in November.

now (0410) I have four healthy carriers, neatly spaced out between 701.9980

Barry,

I'm working my way through a lifetime of Perseus recordings from November. 
If you have something distinct at 0300 I can check some of my 702 
recordings.


I happened to be reviewing a recording on 702 when your message arrived. 
Unusual two chimes at 1930z, with Govorit (Mayak?).  Armenia, if that 
Mayak is heard correctly.  But now I have the same chimes, weaker, on 711. 
No idea who that is!

Jim,
  I believe Iran also uses 702 for Russian at 1930, and 702 does very 
well, as I heard it here many evenings last season, and even a few 
mornings.   Don't think they use 711 though, so may not be your answer.

Re: [IRCA] TAs Tonight

[Chuck Hutton]

Hi Jim - 
 
I can't say I have ever heard Govorit IDs from Mayak. I'd be tempted to think 
this was Iran ending their broadcast in Georgian, assuming that Govorit is 
used in Georgian just like Russian.
 
Ahwaz-711 carries VOIRI at times per the WRTH just like 702 so maybe the chimes 
are Iranian although I hear 3 note chimes rather than 2 note.

Re: [IRCA] TAs Tonight

[Jim Renfrew]

Hi Chuck - you nailed it.  Iran it is.  The chimes fit the VIRI IS on 
Interval Signals on Line, not quite the same tone, but definitely the same 
notes.  On 702 I only hear two tones, but it's a dead-on match with the same 
tones on 711 where there are three tones.  The third tone seems to have 
dropped out on 702.  I suspect that I will hear these chimes many times as I 
work my way up the dial on this recording.  The Iranian TOH at xx:30 is one 
major reason why we record at the bottom of the hour.  Maybe hearing what I 
want to hear but maybe that ID is Govorit Iran or Tehran.  Thanks!  Jim

I am sure it was even better earlier in the evening.  Helps to begin 
reviewing the band before the midwest  50 kW signals start dominating.  This 
was a remarkable bandscan.  On the Perseus nearly every channel showed audio 
or a het at 10 PM local.  I had set the perseus for a timed recording at 
2055z, but it failed to record.  Oh well, I guess I'll have to review more 
of my terrabyte's worth of Newfoundland recordings!  Jim Renfrew

[IRCA] TAs strong again tonight

[Saul DX]

Had some very strong TA hets at sunset, audio on many channels, quality 
varying significamntly, but faded somewhat soon after. French on 702, not 
sure who; 711.7 with Arabic and vocal music / prayers, others, especially at 
low end of band and longwave. One of the better nights I've seen.


Tried 720 for Greenland, 1170 for Sawa, and 750 for CBC NL - no luck.

[IRCA] TAs in Alberta

[Nigel Pimblett]

  Currently hearing audio from Radio Farda on 1575, and VOA on 1539, 
both for the first time this season.  Snippets of audio on 1215, 1413 
and 1458 also.  Might be a night for you guys on the coast to have a listen.

[IRCA] TAs good, t-storm static bad

[Saul DX]

Lots of moderate hets, some producing audio, as of sunset tonight, at Burnt 
River ON. Nothing new yet noted but if I can make some sense out of the weak 
audio on some channels I may add to the logbook ...


Must be thunderstorms about - lots of storm static noises. If it localizes I 
may have to detach the wires... poossibility was froecast earlier...

[IRCA] TAs Last Night

[Barry McLarnon]

Another one of those TA mini-enhancements last night that seem to happen when 
the solar indices kick up.  This was between 0400 and 0530 UTC - many of the 
usual suspects in Spain/France/UK/Holland had some audio, plus Italy sneaked 
in on 567.  What was more interesting was getting audio on less common (for 
me, anyway) channels, such as 1116, 1125, 1143, 1152, 1179, 1224, 1386, 1485, 
and 1602 (Spain, in every case).  Some of these are 5 kW stations that don't 
often make it through the domestic din to this inland location.  I'm sure a 
few are new loggings here, but I haven't crosschecked the log yet to see 
which ones.

Well, reception is about to get better on 684, 693, 936, and 945!

Three of the four have a very dominant TA station, but 936 should be 
particularly interesting to try.

[IRCA] TAs on the west coast

[Walter Salmaniw]

As others have reported from central and eastern NA, the TAs are coming in.  At 
00:35 UTC (4:35 pm local), I'm hearing Absolute Radio on 1215 at a good level 
at times, and also Farda on 1575.  KOMO 1000 has a loud het from 999, and most 
other channels 1 kHz from a North American also have audible hets.  1422 has 
western sounding music, so not sure whether this is Germany or not.  Fair 
level.  864 with prob France Bleu at poor level, 855, 837, 783 all weak.  756 
DLF at fair level.  Although I haven't been too active lately, it still strikes 
me as a relatively good start for the eveningWalt in Victoria, BC

Re: [IRCA] TAs on the west coast

[Nigel Pimblett]

A rather odd evening.  Had some audio from the regulars when I first got 
home around 0100 UTC, but then things faded.Now, I'm hearing only 
carriers, with one exception - that being Iran in Russian on 702, 
certainly not what I would normally expect.

Re: [IRCA] TAs on the west coast

[Nick Hall-Patch]

A frustrating evening for TAs, though much better than has been heard recently. 
   There was no audio much past the mumble level, there was a reasonable number 
of those at one time or another:

675, 747, 756, 783, 855, 1134, 1215 and 1575

783 is the only channel that I don't have a good suspicion as to what it 
was.

 Glad you sent this in Walt, as I was about to ask if anyone heard
  anything.   I was out this evening, but noted some good carriers around
  0200, and again 0530UT,  but no audio.

It's interesting to note that TA signals were actually better than average 
here last night, albeit spotty and with very deep fading.  Between 0400 and 
0500 UTC, I had audio from about a dozen countries, including Faroes, 
Algeria, Morocco, Spain, France, UK, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Croatia, 
Finland, Sweden, and even a bit of audio from 1566 Benin.  Presumed 828 
Bulgaria and 1143 Russia flirted with reaching audio levels, but didn't quite 
make it.  It's strange that we don't see more reports of TA reception from 
folks in ENA these days.

Re: [IRCA] TAs from the WCNA

[Mike Stonebridge]

Barry:

TA's are in Northern Alberta most afternoons starting an hour or so before 
local sunset and then fading down into the noise around sunset. Most of the 
time very few have any audio, tho the carriers show quite clearly on the 
Perseus waterfall display. Today was very much different with the first TA 
(1422-Germany) showing up at 13:20 MST (20:20UTC) At that time of day the 
sun here is only 30 minutes or so past it's zenith so it was real early for 
a TA. In all I had around 30 or so with audio plus about the same number of 
carriers before they faded down around sunset. Most were European in origin 
with only a couple from the middle east. Some hadn't been heard here in 
years, like 945  711 from France and others were regulars like 1134-Croatia 
and UK-1215. Two frequencies, 855 and 1152, each had 2 stations fighting for 
dominance. The beauty of owning a Perseus is the ability to record the whole 
band while listening to one particular frequency. The downside is the huge 
files it produces and the time it takes to run thru them all. I still wading 
thru them.
