[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on February 9

Conditions today were a continuation of the past few days. There was a low end enhancement at about 1300-1400, and a high end enhancement at 1500. Only a few of the regulars showed up today. Good - A native speaker could have understood most of it, at least briefly 594JOAB, lively

Re: [IRCA] KARR-1460 to go silent

Bruce, Thanks for the info. I wonder if the frequency will be sold to some other company down the road and return? I don't think KARR's coverage area is all that great anyway. I get it here with some effort, but KARR is far from strong. Yakima is stronger. Both are about 150 miles. Patrick

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-9

Hello All, Like Dennis I enjoyed some nice Asian propagation on both the low and high band this morning, although (as usual) with fewer Japanese signals than in Kalama. There were a few more Asian mainland stations showing up on the low band here, however (also as usual). 972-HLCA and

[IRCA] Morse Code mystery on 1440

  At 1739 CLT, I am hearing the distinct sounds of Morse Code being intermittently broadcast on 1440 either directly north or south of my QTH.   This has been going on for at least the last 5 minutes.  Can someone in the Midwest get a fix on this?    73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska

Re: [IRCA] Morse Code mystery on 1440

Rick, Steve here in Boone, Iowa. Listening on my 160M inverted L I hear an SS rising above a unintelligible jumble. No CW. BTW for those DX'ers in warmer climates, at 0548 local / 2348 GMT it is 5.5F here. Low tomorrow night is supposed to be -10F, no surprise. To see what happens when

Scott and Gang, I heard them there last night then fell asleep, HARD, and forgot to say anything this morning. I have not heard them in a while. Steve On 2/9/14, 7:54 PM, Scott wrote: Wobbler audible on 740 Khz right now (0150Z). Scott Michigan

[IRCA] Cuba on 1040

Thanks to some modest auroral enhancement and, especially, the absence of WBZ IBOC noise, I caught a nice ID from a very wobbly Radio Mayabeque a few minutes ago. I'm now trying to ID a station with Spanish music on 1020, mixing with KDKA and Radio Reloj. The WBZ IBOC outage may not last for

[IRCA] TP 9 Feb, Victoria version

An interesting morning, though mostly the old standby stations with one or two odd ones. Lively after 1300UT, but a dead patch after 1400UT for better part of the hour. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB EE lessons 1340UT,
