[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-25

Thanks to Nick and Walt for their initial reports. I just finished a very enjoyable lunch with TP-DXer Craig Barnes from Colorado, during which we discussed all kinds of exciting subjects like antennas, propagation, and how to track down TP's with Ultralight radios and FSL antennas. Craig is an

I'm selling 4 radios, not because anything is wrong with them but I just need to declutter a bit, plus I haven't used some of them in months. The radios come with NO accessories, no wall-wart power supplies and some are missing battery covers. $125 for a Sony ICF2010 $125 for either of the

Very nice Asian reception into Masset this morning. Highlight was 1584 with bubble jamming. ? Iran, cochannel 100w NHK 1 often at good level. Not a peep from DU and a modest post LSR enhancement. Indonesia on 90 and 60 meters exceptionally well heard. 73, from a sunny Queen Charlotte. Walt On

[IRCA] Alberta lack of TPs for 25 March 2017

Yesterday was very minimal signals, but today went one step further, with no audio at all from TP/DU stations. Plenty of DU carriers, especially on the lower half of the dial, but none that quite made audio. Unusually the closest was on 567, not normally among the first tier here.

Re: [IRCA] Limited TP DX on the road in Pirt Townsend, WA

Hi Guys, There was decent audio here from the Japanese and Korean big guns from 1300-1400, as well as a moderate but persistent signal from 657-Pyongyang. The latter stuck around for practically the entire hour, refusing to go away (or come up with better programming). 657 Pyongyang BS

OK Chris.1053 was in this morning with music here, but I'll need to check the recording to see if there was any talk, and to maybe snag the offset(s) if I can. But the few times I've heard anything, it's sounded Japanese, and the rest of the band conditions at the time have been

Post sunrise audio here in Victoria, Craig. Check 972 and 1566 if you've gotten the radio working again. 1242, 1287 and 954 are also possibilities... best wishes, Nick At 15:06 25-03-17, Donald Barnes via IRCA wrote: For this trip I brought a nearly new Erin E1 and a Quantum Loop to do

Re: [IRCA] 1053 Korea (all) off the air

It is my understand that the frequency is empty aside from Yanbian during skywave. My sources in Seoul tell me that Haeju is off entirely - if there were an open carrier 60 miles away at 1,500kw, it would be very much noticed. As long as Haeju is off, Seoul and Gimpo have no reason to function
