After four months of recuperation following reconstructive surgery on my ankle, I finally returned home this past weekend. And, I'm happy to be back. I listened for TP signals this morning hearing only JOUB on 774 kHz. Its signal was peaking at a fair level at 1140 UTC. The fading signal was

Richard, it's great to have you back! We have missed your TP reports from Oklahoma, and certainly hope that you will have a complete recovery after ankle surgery. This morning's Asian propagation wasn't quite up to yesterday's standard, but several of the NHK big guns were doing quite well

Hello All, Asian results this morning were kind of a watered down version of yesterday, with many of the same TP's showing up, but at weaker levels. Whereas peak Asian propagation yesterday seemed to be from 1300-1345 during predawn darkness, this morning's best signals appeared after a

As Gomer Pyle would say Surprise..surprise..surprise. KFNQ is indeed IBOC. I can hear the sidebands as of this morning. No doubts about it! Not a big problem here, but it is there. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager From: mwd...@webtv.net To: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Finally checked KFNQ out on the upstairs HD radio. The HD decodes, but really, it sounds no better than their AM did before they introduced IBOC noise to it. Granted, it sounds much quieter than it does on analog, but only because of the contrast from the hash now mixed with the analog signal.

Which AM HD radio do you have? I don't think there has ever been a portable AM HD. Those that I know of are component tuners that require amplification. There are car stereo radios with HD but I don't know if they receive AM HD. I would like to see it die a very quick death. Date: Tue, 11

This is something I've wondered about during this MW season. Seems like some 25 years ago, I could count on many stations starting up the Star-Spangled Banner at 2 minutes before 0600 Local, followed by sign-on information (or the other way around, in some cases). Logged many new stations

Hi Dennis, Let me see if I can remember the model number Sony Xdr S3-HD (could be SDR, I'm going from memory.) It's similar to an unamplified unit (F1HD), which many FM DXers use. I use it mainly for FM DXing. I don't think it's been available since 2010 or 2011. I agree about HD, both in its AM

Another productive morning for TPs. It was similar to yesterday, with some stations down a bit and some better today. I sure wish I knew what I'm hearing on 1512. Maybe DYAB, like Nick suggests. It has great strength, but the IBOC QRM is killing the audio. GOOD - a native speaker would
