Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

--- Begin Message --- UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, Feb 7 at 0119 UT, not much signal from KSTP, so I am hearing the blues music station and the warble-tone. KSTP is so weak that I can get pretty good bearings on these two, nulling them without KSTP in the way: warble is about 95 degrees, and blues about

Re: [IRCA] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

On the evening of February 6, 2016 around 2335 UTC I checked 1500 kHz. Heard noise in the upper sideband. The noise wasn't heard in the lower sideband. To me the noise sounded like IBOC hash. 73, Kraig, KG4LAC On 2/5/2016 11:55 AM, Rob Keeney wrote: If everyone posts their location and loop

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Tim, Thank you for posting this. Extremely helpful for both DX’ers and members of the broadcast engineering community who are attempting to help narrow down the station with the problem. Do you have a bearing on the station from your QTH? 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Les, I'm not setup with a rotatable loop so I'm unable to get a bearing on this other than confirming that I only hear it on my south antenna. I know, not very helpful.. 73, Tim On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 4:52 PM, Les Rayburn wrote: > Tim, > > Thank you for posting this.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Just so everyone's on the same page, here's a recording of the interference that's in question, which I assume is what everyone else is referring to. I have issue with calling this a "warbler" or "warbling" since I immediately think of the Cuban transmitters with the wobbling carrier that sounds

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Excellent information Glenn. We went to Tennessee yesterday on business, and I brought along a portable to get some DF bearings. The warbler noise was very loud on the car radio right at sunset, but I didn’t have time to try for bearings then. After dinner with clients, I checked again and the

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 7 Feb 2016

Most of the life that was in the band yesterday was missing here today. Only audio was from 1575 VOA, and that only for about 5 minutes from 1448. Still a fair number of carriers, but mainly limited to the top end of the dial. Interestingly, one decent carrier on 1592.96 was not evident

Re: [IRCA] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Glenn says he's getting it strongest on a 95 degree bearing from Enid. Tim, you say that you're only hearing it on your south antenna. Les, from your QTH in Maylene, I would suggest pointing your antenna due north. If my suspicion is correct, the warble should almost be blowing your doors

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Sorry to disappoint Rick, but your hypothesis needs some adjustment. Just went outside in the back yard with a Sangean PR-DR portable. The mystery signal on 1500 KHz was very loud—dominating the channel just after sunset at 6:20 PM Central Time. The maximum signal off the ends of the loop

--- Begin Message --- Looks like your 120/300 bearing would be closest to WAYS Macon GA, or maybe further south WSEM Donalsonville GA, both 1 kW daytimers. It`s so weak here I would not be surprised if it`s that far away. BTW, Maylene is not in my Rand McNally large scale road atlas, nor the

Re: [IRCA] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Well, it shoots down my suspicion that WLAC was somehow causing this warble 10 KHz down from its home frequency. So the mystery continues, it looks like. And I have no shot at hearing it here. I'm 2 miles from the tower of KOMJ 1490 (I'm 78 degrees from it) and if I turn the loop 90
