Walt,
You did better than I did from Honolulu, when I was there in the 80s
90s. Honolulu is not the best location for DX.

Steve,
I believe the FCC shut down the Vancouver/Portland Russian station this past
summer.
I have not heard the Seattle Russian station in a very long time.

Hello to DXers everywhere --
As I have Monday off from work, I'm going to take advantage of it and pull
an all-nighter at the MW dials. Throughout the night, I'll be checking this
account, so feel free to pass along any tips off list. I'll also be letting
you
know what I'm hearing.

800Hz tone heard in Alexandria, VA too. Definitely west from here mixing with
'AM 740' and others. No breaks or ID heard.

Hi Paul;
Have you heard anything? The wife has been sick, so not much DX time
but ***I have not noticed them recently.*** The key question is if
WLRB's intended to be oldies to keep the automation alive has a female

I haven't heard anything on 1510... all I've got at home is a cloock radio
and I only sit in the car for a few minutes right before/after Sunset on
Friday.
I haven't heard back form my buddy at WLRB, but I will check again thgis
week.
I am betting it probably *IS* WLRB, but don't want to
Thanks Rick.
Good to hear from you again!
I also think that I had WLRB. Many of these on late guys do not run
any ID's and I'm sure that I heard the calls as WLRB, though at first I
thought they said WRRB and then WLRC.

Unless I hear something otherwise, they have to be who I heard. As I
told you offline about two weeks ago, the calls that I thought that I
heard were WRRB and WLRC. Switch out the first R in the first and the C
in the second and you have W-L-R-B. It would be new, or else I would

Heard weak carriers (hets) on 531, 702 and 972 kHz this morning. Barely
audible to poor talk from JOUB 774 at 1325-1335 UTC (LSR at 1327). Not much

Hi Dennis,
Coincidentally I was checking for the Seattle Russian station most days and
evenings last week, and I heard nothing at all on the frequency.
Is anyone else closer to the transmitter north of Seattle hearing them?

I travel to Everett at least once a month and the last time was Nov. 26th. I
hear the Russian station each time and it was stronger than ever on the 26th.
On the return trip, it could be heard all the way to North Seattle which is a
first for me.

Unless there is another somewhere else NE of me in Washington state, I
heard the Russian 1710 Friday or Saturday late afternoon, with the usual

Only heard off the NE EWE.

Hey Powell;
I'm about 99.99% sure that what I heard was WLRB-IL. They *apparently*
(still waiting to be confirmed) use satellite oldies in the studio,
during supposed quiet time to keep the automation running. And

What I am now finding out is that the talk programming is only programmed

can be later then that some months of the year. What WLRB apparently does is

For Chuck Hutton. Chuck,On your last trip up to Everett to check out the
Russian,did you happen to pass by and see any evidence of reconstruction at the
new but damaged KRKO 1380 TX site which was vandalised by a guy who didn't like
the new 50KW towers? Bill in BC
I thought it was interesting that they included some older rigs, such as the
Drake R8 series. I bought an Icom R70 a few weeks ago.

Thanks Tom. So the same QTH is still running 24/7. I had heard it

Russian and going into Russian music. Weak but audible right
Guy,
Even though my NE EWE is tiny (15X40X15), it still does well for the
Puget Sound stations. I just tried and the Russian on 1710 is going
strong (weak here tonight), with a woman in RR and RR music.

I'm hearing it too this early evening, 0310 utc, poor/weak, a man speaking,
possibly preaching. Plus there's a much weaker station underneath, can't
tell anything about it. (Using USB mode so I don't get splatter from the
strong 1700 regular station.)

My two 1710 signals are occasionally the same level now; both sound similar
to each other--presumed-Russian religious stuff. Odd! Certainly not
simulcasting; but presently two slow-talking men talking in presumably
Russian. 0319utc.

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
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.

Managed to shred the coax on both sides of the connector. Argh. So no TAs

Hmm... the audio was noted around 0300, so maybe not Turkey after
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?).
After a few days of trans-polar reception today someone flipped a
switch and the more conventional TPs returned. Audio today was from
Japan on 693 (very marginal),747, 774, and 828, along with S.Korea on
1566. 594 didn't make audio at all. No trace of the more exotic stuff

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.

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
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
EMWG and WRTH have conflicting info, and the info in the WRTH conflicts with

But the chimes are Iran, thanks to Chuck.

At 0530 utc tonight I tried for the Russian language station on 1710. Since

Nope! *Barely* a scratchy het is heard, and Perseus shows just a 4 or 5 dB
S/N at the most. That's on the best of four antennas available, too!
