[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 8 January 2018

Had weak audio from Japan at 1300 on 693, 747, and 774, but it got worse after that rather than better. By 1500 I was getting feeble carriers at best. Sunrise here is currently 1519. Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB Perseus SDR with Wellbrook phased array

[IRCA] WMAL 630 off?

Someone in northern VA posted WMAL was off, they were getting WLAP KY, earlier this eve. CFCO is way dominant on my south antenna, a mix of CFCO and WPRO RI in car en route up. My WSW antenna is 3/4 installed, it's after midnight, foot-plus of snow on ground...but curious to see if I can pull in

Pretty sure he died alone. :-( His language series created by Ian McFarland of RCI was a huge hit on DXER.ca — although he never did an “Island radio listening” series that I’m aware of. Colin Newell - Victoria - B.C. CANADA - > On Jan 8, 2018, at 11:25 AM, Steve Francis

--- Begin Message --- Did anyone ever learn what became of his numerous shortwave and AM veries? No will, no relatives, and no other DXer within reasonable "rescue" distance. I'm thinking they ended up in a Puna recycling center. Steve Francis Alcoa, Tennessee -Original

Re: [IRCA] Kona dial tune 0630 U

We were in Kona last year. The noise was not intolerable. However, after taping as many island-station IDs as I could, I didn’t really go out of my way to stay up all night for further catches. Later on this year, my wife and I will be visiting three of the islands. Since I will be toting one

My wife wants to spend 3 months a year here... every year... Who am I to argue? Maybe I’ll operate a DX guest house. Colin Newell - Victoria - B.C. CANADA - > On Jan 8, 2018, at 9:36 AM, Russ Edmunds wrote: > > Richard also emigrated to Hawaii from the mainland, bringing his

He was also a noted linguist and permanent resident. One wonders sometime if there are any permanent residents of the Islands out there toiling anonymously with these productive listening conditions that haven’t signified yet. Colin Newell - Kona HI. > On Jan 8, 2018, at 8:39 AM, Mark

Except for a strong heterodyne on 972 kHz there were no TP signals to be heard at my QTH. Richard Allen, near Perry OK USA, Skywave SSB + 8-inch FSL. Sent from my iPad > On Jan 8, 2018, at 09:36, Steve Ratzlaff wrote: > > Someone turned the switch off this

Someone turned the switch off this morning--nothing at all, barely any very weak hets before or after sunrise. Steve AA7U near Sahuarita, AZ R75; west DKAZ + FLG100 preamp ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

--- Begin Message --- Last year in April and May I travelled to Hawaii and DXed from Princeville, on the northern side of Kauai and a VRBO "up the hill" from Kona-Kailua on the western side of Hawaii. The VRBO was equipped with a lanai with a clear view of the Pacific. Using a Great Circle map

Nice clips, Gary! A lot of those signals are better received in Hawaii than in Korea, but there is predictably a lot less noise from other stations in the middle of the ocean than in one of the most congested MW locations on Earth. The CNR-1 theme music also serves as the TOH station ID, which

[IRCA] Top 10 "Flamethrower" TP's in Kona, Hawaii

West coast DXers fed up with cold weather and even colder DXing conditions do have one ultimate solution for both problems-- take a quick flight to Hawaii. In Hawaii during the winter the main challenge isn't tracking down TP-DX... it's sorting out the wild TP signal snarls that occur when
