[IRCA] TP 24 Jan Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Back in the bucket.   No idea when NHK2 signed off; it was that poor.  Some of 
the Asian carriers showed hints of audio, but too close to wishful thinking to 
claim.





pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

 no


Reasonable audio at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):


no




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker: 

and still no



Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by 
cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) 

1017 island vocal music 1506UT, Tonga likely

1566 choral music 1546UT, likely HLAZ

1593 man talking, perhaps Chinese, had that assertive CNR1 approach 1535UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)
 594 774 828 972 1242 seemed to be Asian; 
738 792 891 1548 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

[Mark Connelly via IRCA]

1030 WBZ Boston, MA received in Japan
Salt water heading NW from Hull, MA transmitter site definitely helps the 
"get-out-ability."

[IRCA] Cape Cod, MA: a few DX audio clips

[Mark Connelly via IRCA]

Not too much East Coast reporting lately so here are a few audio clips from 
here earlier this month.

Since conditions haven't been quite as good as late 2018, there's nothing rare 
below, just some typical items.

More stuff, full details report etc. over the next week or so.

Though unusual for January, there have actually been thunderstorm threats over 
the past few days as cold and warm air masses collide nearby. Antennas have 
been disconnected at times, something I seldom had to do in winter decades ago.

Re: [IRCA] Follow-up on Romania thread

[JOHN FISHER]

I can confirm that Timosoara 630 and RRA 531 are on the air. Heard on my car 
radio this week (from Osijek, Croatia about 250 km from Timosoara).

Re: [IRCA] KLIV 1590 San Jose, CA singing off the air Sunday

[Dennis Gibson]

Scroll down a bit.

https://247sports.com/college/san-jose-state/Board/102442/Contents/KLIV-1590-Going-Dark-128209341/

“KLIV played an announcement by station owner Bob Kieve announcing that KLIV 
will go silent on Sunday. Kieve said "there aren't enough" listeners to KLIV's 
country oldies format to justify keeping the station on air. However, Kieve 
also said that Empire Broadcasting intends to revive KLIV in a different format 
later”.

[IRCA] November 2018 Hawaii Ultralight DXpedition-- 15 Page Article

[Gary DeBock]

 What is it like for a west coast TP-DXer to suddenly escape all of the 
North American pests, and find himself in a dream location far out into the 
Pacific-- with Asian propagation wide open from the Middle East to East Asia, 
including multiple stations from India?

 Well, it was the hobby rush of a lifetime! A 15-page article describing 
the awesome 6-day DXing experience on the beach at Poipu on Kauai island (the 
Hawaiian island closest to Asia) has been written, including multiple photos, 
94 transoceanic DX station recording links, detailed descriptions of the 
ocean-enhanced propagation and the related DXing challenges, and also a 
"Scouting Report" for Broadband SDR-DXing at the same site. With receptions 
from Oman, Iran, Egypt, India (2), Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, 
Vietnam (5) and many other exotic locations, the entire experience was 
unforgettable-- and a return trip is definitely planned!
