[IRCA] TP 15 Feb Victoria version

An extraordinary mess of DX, much unidentified, or unidentifiable on multiple channels. I've run out of steam going through the files, so there's likely a lot still to be foundand never will be.A lot of peculiarity to the morning too, many signals with strong carriers and little to no

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 15 February 2018

An excellent morning for Japan, with many less common signals coming through. I'm sure a more thorough review of the recording would yield a few more. 558 unIDWeak, with music at 1343 567 JOIK Sapporo, JAPAN Excited man in Japanese at 1319, then more sedate woman. Olympic report

[IRCA] Oklahoma TA DX 2/16/18

Propagation is not quite as good tonight as the past few. However, 252 Algeria is being heard with poor strength at 0555. Also, there is a barely audible trace of 198 BBC. No other TA signals observed. Richard Allen, near Perry OK USA, R75 & ALA1530LNP. Sent from my iPad

Re: [IRCA] Another Chinese Wave at 1320

Just checked my recording, and similar levels on 639 at 1452 and 1456UT, using a Flag antenna mind you with a beefy SDR.But then I tell myself this is a poorer place for Asian reception. I suspect tomorrow may not be quite so good, so enjoy what we recorded. best wishes, Nick At 15:37

Re: [IRCA] Fixin' ta TA Blues...

Thanks Neil. I have the info re 621 being 24 hours Nacional also, but it's from a 2016 WRTH (long story; it's supposed to be a 2018 one by now, ordered two months ago), so was wondering if something had changed since then, given apparent discrepancy between the webstream that I had, and

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-15 (Preliminary)

I did not check in until 1515 and by that time things were settling down on my N/NE Flag -- which still has some grabbing power for TP's - As illustrated by Nick's guiding fishbarrel radar system, there were nice signals on the likes of 1593, 1575, 1566, `1458, 1323, 1287, 1098, 1053, 972, 891,

Re: [IRCA] Another Chinese Wave at 1320

Thanks, Nick. After your reception of the new country of 621-Canary Islands last night, I was wondering whether you would take a break this morning and miss out on the fun :-) It was another marathon TP-DXing session here, and the Chinese were already unusually potent as early as 1215 in the

Re: [IRCA] Fixin' ta TA Blues...

It's all national network 24 hours except for some local segments that I mentioned in another post. There is no distinct daytime programming. Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY Virus-free. www.avg.com

Re: [IRCA] Fixin' ta TA Blues...

RNE local or regional IDs are scheduled 0625-0630, 0630-0700, 0745-0800, 0805-0810, 0830-0845 and later. Doesn't mean that IDs will actually be given, but those are the best times to look for them. 621 is 100kw from the Canary Islands, the other four parallels in Spain would be 10kw each, so

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-15 (Preliminary)

The low band Chinese stations once again rode sunrise enhancement to end up with powerful signals, only this time a couple of them ended up with their best-ever signals here in Puyallup (over 11 years). 603-China (Hulun Buir?) reached that awesome level (S7) around 1437, almost smothering

Re: [IRCA] Valentine's day LWBC goodies

Nice to see confirmed that Denmark is on the air. I heard and verified it shortly before it went off the air with regular programming. I suspect that weather broadcasts are of limited duration. Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY

Re: [IRCA] Fixin' ta TA Blues...

My info shows that RNE-5 operates from 0800-2300. Anyhow 621 is RNE Radio Nacional all the time. 73 KAZ On Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 9:54 AM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > I guess I could look it up...but what time do they start breaking up for > daytime schedule Neil? > > It was after 6AM

Re: [IRCA] Another Chinese Wave at 1320

You didn't jinx things Gary. How much was identifiable is another question. It was quite a tangle, and for some reason, domestic splash was monstrous this morning, along with a peculiar lack of audio with many of the strong carriers. best wishes, Nick At 13:39 2018-02-15, Gary DeBock

Re: [IRCA] Fixin' ta TA Blues...

I guess I could look it up...but what time do they start breaking up for daytime schedule Neil? It was after 6AM in Spain/Canaries then. Thanks. Nick At 15:46 2018-02-15, Neil Kazaross wrote: Good job with 621 guys. RNE networks are all in // overnight with some National Program. 73 KAZ

Re: [IRCA] Another Chinese Wave at 1320

Hi Todd, The Chinese wave did indeed hit the west coast during sunrise enhancement this morning, with exceptional signals from 603-China (Hulun Buir?), 639-CNR1 and others. Here was 639-CNR1 at an S9 level at 1454 UTC this morning https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/dn8h4sbwco01mvyasa1859d0eiv1q8vh

On my way in to work this morning around 4AM I was hearing a het against 970 with it most likely being Korea. Also in which is very very rare at night was KCFO Tulsa. Much more common at SSS. This all with the car radio. Todd Skaine ICOM 7300 wth a Superloop 2 Modified 2010s barefoot Toyota car

[IRCA] Another Chinese Wave at 1320

603-China was at a pretty exceptional level (S7) way over HLSA at 1320, and 657-China was in a mix with Pyongyang as early as 1215. Don't want to jinx things, but sunrise enhancement could bring some serious fun if these kind of signals hold up. Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
