Re: [IRCA] TAs, sigh, yet again

[Nick Hall-Patch]

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,

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

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

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

 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.

Victoria city looks out over about 20-60km of salt water along the

Victoria city looks out over about 20-60km of salt water along the

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

My experiences have been very similar to Gary's.  I get lots of carriers

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.

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:  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.

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.

It was very strong here at 3:45 today, lots of hets and one with good audio

maybe not.

Re: [IRCA] TAs again

[Volodya S]

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.

Re: [IRCA] TAs again

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.

Neither 531 or 1386 doing well here at present, but do have Egypt on 864

Looks like it might be opening up at 0225UTgetting a tentative

Ponderous rock music creeping through on 1215, 0444UT really 
nothing much else though...weak carrier on 1089.  Nothing much 
developed either within the next 45 minutes.

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

Thank you for your reply. Just checked now at 1935 that 702 kHz has Russian.

I no longer remember what cuaased me to say the WRTH conflicts with

Maybe I mixed up a different frequency.

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.

I happened to be reviewing a recording on 702 when your message

Armenia, if that Mayak is heard correctly.  But now I have the

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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

Re: [IRCA] TAs!

[Jim Renfrew]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Last Night

For a period of time years ago the BCB hobby treated Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao 
( the ABC islands ) as a single political entity despite having decent distance 
between them. Later they somehow - I don't recall either when or how - into 3 
countries.

I also can't recall whether I ever re-combined the Germanies after they 
reunited. If I didn't it was more from the simple failure to take the time than 
anything else...

Re: [IRCA] TAs Last Night - Country List

[Martin Foltz]

Jim, the IRCA has a country list. It was published in last year's DXM and I
think it's published every year. I'm sure it's on the website. I just don't
hear much foreign DX so I'm not a big country counter.

You're talking to the guy who volunteered too long ago with the NRC to 
create a revised country list and hasn't done it yet after at least 5 years!

It's actually fairly complicated, with various traditions of 
country-counting:  (1)  Hams seem to count anything that has a spot of water

in between as two countries, (2) NASWA has the approach of "once a country, 
always a country" - so there are three post-war countries in Germany instead

of one post-Wall country today - this acknowledges that people don't like 
giving up countries even though they no longer exist.   (3) NRC has an old 
modified list, with some water separation, e.g. France and Corsica are two 
countries, Hawaii and Alaska are separate countries, but not nearly as many 
as the ham lists I've seen.  The thing that had me stumped was the Dutch 
islands in the Caribbean, which have various degrees of autonomy from the 
Netherlands and with each other with rolling dates for activating the 
changes. On top of that DXers are as independent-minded about counting 
countries as we are about counting domestic stations, e.g. call changes, 
facility changes, COL changes, etc., so as many as would use an official 
list an equal number would go their own way!

Having said all that, I'm still willing to work on something like this. 
Maybe some others are interested, too.

Subject: [IRCA] TAs Last Night


I'm a bit surprised to see no mentions of TA reception last night... I 
guess

I had my own private opening.  I suspect it was geographically fairly
selective, and didn't extend out west.  I almost missed it myself - just 
did
a quick check of the band before hitting the sack a little before 
midnight,

and found nothing special across most of the band, but some BIG TA hets at
the high end.  The French stations on 1377 and 1557 were absolutely huge,
blowing past the domestic QRM.

Checking the less common channels, I found a man and woman in teletalk on
1476... I wasn't sure of the language, but I brought up the R. Euskadi
Irratia (Spain) stream on the net, and sure enough, it was them.  Down to
1386, where I found a big carrier, but couldn't quite coax enough audio 
out

to be sure it was the Euskadi outlet there.  On to 1494, where I found FF
talk that was // to the France Bleu/R. Corsa streaming.  SS on several 
other

top end channels, such as 1602... big het on 1611, but Vatican there is
unneeded, so I didn't spend time on it... orchestral music on 1539 (an
extremely tough channel here due to huge 1540 domestics), presumably 
Germany.
I then found a man and woman talking on 1575, and paralleled it with the 
RAI

Radio 1 stream.

At that point (0600 UTC), I had to call it quits and get some sleep, but 
it
was fun while it lasted!  1476 Spain and 1494 France were new loggings 
here.

I've seen this before, where the rebound from a solar disturbance can
produced enhanced propagation of some sort, especially on the more 
southerly
TA paths.  Whatever the mechanism, it's a welcome change, especially 
during

the January blahs...

It must have been a private opening! Do let us know where to make
reservations

I was checking between 0300 and 0500 UTC, and I wasn't even getting a weak
het, anywhere!  Usually I can at least get a het on 963, 1134, 1215 and
the like.  Domestic reception was quite good, so I knew my antennae were
working properly.

As is common, things never really developed in the TAs.  Various of the regular 
channels perked up briefly now and again, and even some not so regular such as 
1539 and 999, usually not long enough to hunt for webstreams.

Now, at 0700,  some reasonably readable audio on 567, 594, 747 and 774 from 
Japan, though fading up and down of course.  279 is reasonable also, with a 
very weak 153 as well, but no 234.

best wishes,

Nick

Around 0415 utc with music.  From Nigel report looks like it might be Holland?
Hoping for a nice fade up on this signal.

531 noted some AA music mixing with some other station with a man
talking, said "Raydo" But hard to copy at 0320 UTC

963   Female talking, presume Finland, but horrible 960 Calgary splatter
at 0315.

1431  Unid station with with what sounded like "Believe" by Cher at 0310
and woman ancr in unid lang.

1575   Radio Farda quite good at 0303.

Lots of hets, including female on 549 at 0330.

When Walt was hearing the early TAs, unfortunately I was 50 miles away
rekeying two houses in Rockaway Beach.

Gary,

Did get some fair audio for Absolute Radio on 1215.  Rock music fair for a few
minutes. This was the best signal for them here, heard a few times when Virgin 
Radio was here.  Thanks for the information on Radio Maria Gary.

Hi Dennis,
 
I'm happy you received some audio on 675 kHz tonight. Back during one of  
the best October TA openings I did receive some brief audio (religious music) 
on  675 KHz from Radio Maria in Holland, but it certainly wasn't one of the 
stronger  TA's. From what I understand, Radio Maria is the dominant TA 
station  on 675 kHz (although I'm certainly no expert).

Thanks for the frequency listing of the stations your  hearing tonight.
It's  very helpful to me.  Did get a little  audio on 675 a few minutes ago,
but to weak to ID.

Gary, 1134  Croatia is usually the first station heard with audio during 
TA  conditions.  Stopped on the channel and no audio was heard on 1134. 
Happy  with 
some audio on 675, a first here hearing a TA that low on the dial.  
Good luck fellows, hoping you all hear some new TA this  evening.

531 weak audio, sounds like  Algeria

837 weak audio in  IBOC  hash

864 France, mixing with presumed R.Liberty via  Armenia
909 UK, perhaps the best I've heard this freq

Interesting, as here it's the upper band that seems quiet, with the low 
band better than it's been for a while.   France good on 864, Spain on

Fliipped on the radio after getting back from Calgary this evening, and 
indeed, some TA action.   A quick scan showed audio from the following:


639 Spain
684 Spain
693 UK
711 France
765 Switxerland
819 Egypt
855 Spain
873  ?
963 Finland

1134 Croatia
1206 France
1215 UK
1224 Spain (?)
1269 Germany

1422 Germany

Most years, this would rate as a great night.  This year, just pretty good.
