Re: [IRCA] BC TAs
I just returned home from being out for the evening, and all the TA action must be gone. I don't find any hets or 9 kHz signals at 0555 except a presumed Tahiti on 738. I would have suspected 1215 Absolute Radio would be in at least a het, as it's their local SR right now, but not even a trace showing with the zoom tool of Perseus.

Re: [IRCA] BC TAs
Guy, You missed a good evening. I did not get into it until a hour or so ago. Hets all over the dial. I best I have heard in sometime, but not as much audio here as up North. Switzerland 765 Iceland 189 were the best. I never did get much out of 747 though. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] TP for 7Oct09 from Victoria
Monitored today from 13:20 and past 14:15. If there's any doubt that there might be a connection between TA and TP propagation, forget it. After the best TA night in over a year last night, this morning, initially at least was a real disappointment. Signals were way down,until 14:00 when they really picked up to more normal levels. I don't have time to analyze the band after 14:00 yet, but as I type this, 774 NHK2 is at armchair level. Highlight was the Mayak transmitter on 666 // 576 which should be in Komsomolsk. Have to run.

[IRCA] TP DX 10/07-Bangladesh 693?
Not a bad morning..Stil no Filipinos I could find...But lots of JJ/KK/CC in and one interesting frequency, 693 khzAt around 1420, I could hear Indian type film music way under JOAB. It was there until after 1430, but before 1430, there was a pause in the music and a low pitched man said something in an unid language. Very likely this was Bangladesh running 1000 KW. I have not heard Bangladesh since 1994 when I logged QSL'd 558. Gee, I hope for a return to those days! I tried for India on 864 and Nepal 792, but no luck there as yet. I did find something unid way behind the jumble on 1134 at 1440 with JJ/KK, that may be Calcutta. I never logged that one ether. 864 1566 are the only Indians heard here. I only QSL'd 864. I will keep checking 693. This is interesting to say least! With 1000 KW, it should be possible, as it is not all that far from Thailand to Bangladesh and both run 1000 KW. However, the propagation did not match the type I had in 93/94. That propagation started out like FM skip, as early on it was good in Northern Asia, then moved down to the Philippines,across Southern Asia and then brought in Central Asians. Very odd conditions for MW, a bit of bending. In all of my years at the dials I have never heard that again. But I sure would love a repeat of it! 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-7.. Pretty Good
Hello All, After last night's TA action, everyone was probably hoping for a legendary TP opening-- but it certainly fell far short of that. Even without the legendary opening, conditions here (on the 9' box loop) seemed fairly good, despite the lackluster reports from Walt and Dennis. 756-CNR1 was strong enough for a nice Chinese ID at 1400, which was Ultralight TP logging #97 here. It was mixing with the KBS co-channel around 1405, but neither station was at very strong levels. Like Walt reported, this 756-CNR1 station seems to be undermodulated, having a large carrier but puny audio. 1107 had audio from a TP for the first time here, but it was too weak to ID the language. 1134 had the KBS station again, not the Chinese as reported by Dennis. Many of the other frequencies had TP's at weaker than normal levels, but in general the band had its interesting moments. The new 9' box loop has received 5 new Ultralight TP's in 5 days, plus numerous UnID Chinese stations. I need to think up a sneaky way to take one of these monsters to Grayland :-) 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP (7.5 Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 9' (side) PVC-frame tuned passive loop (in back yard, as far as possible from the neighbor) ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
[IRCA] Good Morning Late: Orcas Isl. Oct 7
Things have gotten late enough that I've quit setting the alarm so I did not get to the dials until 1403 this AM. (LSR=1420 UTC). Still, it was a very good morning, North Korea 657 seems to have been working on their transmitter: a nice clean signal this AM. 666 was Chinese this AM at 1410, all by itself, rather than the normal JJ. By 1420 they were equal. 828 was all Beijing News (presumed) as I glided by and 891 was Thailand by itself and doing very well. 1107 was Japanese at a moderate level, mixing with whatever has been on that channel with the trashy distorted signal. 1350 was JOER at such a dopminant level that I was originally listening in English and did not recognize this old friend. There was a second station in with VOA on 1575. The new one was mostly carriuer and was on 1574.96 or so. That bears watching. So, it was a really nice morning here.

Re: [IRCA] Powerline noise
Update on my powerline noise. The Bonneville Power people are here along with PPL and they are looking for it. Unfortunately no noise to speak of today. Isn't that always the case? Anyway, I went around with them checking poles and we found a couple that are suspect. They are supposed to get back with me later today. One pole wire looked really suspect with lose wires. They are both in the area of the noise. But when we had the East wind and warm temps it was noisy. Today partly cloudy and cool. But the sun is out, so there is hope. They will knock some wires around if it doesn't show up on its' own. These are three experts. The Bonneville guy has been checking out noise issues for over 40 years.

I can't even pick our an ID to know if they have changed their calls. 73 David Faulkner, Albany (Athens County), Ohio ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
[IRCA] 1160 Florence
Yup. The signal is much better now. ID's as Cincinnati's Newstalk 1160, calls sound like WTRC or WTRP but I can't be completely sure. I've noted spots by Dave Ramsey for the Washington Times Weekly. They carry Dr. Laura from 5-8 p.m., I think the TOH news was SRN. So it would appear to be a shift to conservative talk perhaps to many of the shows not currently carried by WKRC-550. 73 David ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] Powerline noise
Patrick, I'm glad they found it. I remember battling power line noise for five months in 1972, and I'm not sure anyone found' it, it ultimately went away, but if the power folks had persisted, maybe it could have been a few weeks instead of a few months. -- Rick - Original Message - From: Patrick Martin mwd...@webtv.net To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club ofAmerica irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 1:55 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Powerline noise Would you believe it turned out to be an electric fence?

Re: [IRCA] Powerline noise
Pat, Happy to see that the your electric power company was able to find the noise source. The two ground rods near a power pole about 200 yards from my backyard is being used to hold up some yellow caution tape surrounding a hole at the power pole. The tape has the words fiber optic cable and this cable is being hung on the power poles. Lately a little noise problem has been noticed. I hope that Clark Utilities has the same service as Pat's power company.

By 1420 they were equal. 828 was all Beijing News (presumed) as I glided by and 891 was Thailand by itself and doing very well. 1107 was Japanese at a moderate level, mixing with whatever has been on that channel with the trashy distorted signal. 1350 was JOER at such a dopminant level that I was originally listening in English and did not recognize this old friend. There was a second station in with VOA on 1575. The new one was mostly carriuer and was on 1574.96 or so. That bears watching. So, it was a really nice morning here. John B.

Re: [IRCA] Powerline noise
Rick, Thanks. There is more to have done. Since the property in question is private and there was nobody home, all the PPL people could do is to move the downlead of the electic fence away from the downspout and leave their card and ask them to call. They will instruct the people how to solve the issue. Hopefuly they will comply so my problem will be gone permanently. PPL will call me in a week or two to give me the results. Being metal against metal, when it is dry I get the noise, but as soon as the sun goes down te moisture here on the coast collects and the noise is pretty much gone until it dries out. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Started listening here at 02:55 UTC (7:55 pm) and immediately had 855 with pretty good audio, with presumed Slovak Radio. 1053 as well (03:07) sounds like TalkSport with English and some music too. 1089 likely the same. 963 and 1134 both there in fair audio, but suffering a lot of splatter. 1215 Absolute at 03:13.

Two men talking rapidly in Spanish on 855 was most certainly Spain which is a new country for me. I also heard music and arabic language spoken on 1476 which could have been the UAE, plus music and arabic type chanting on 1404 which could have been Iran, so 2 tentatives there. An hour or so after local sunset the US stations had faded up, most TAs were nothing but faint carriers. Nothing but faint carriers heard on longwave.

Re: [IRCA] TAs in Alberta
Same here Walt, no audio so far on 1575 this season. Carrier, but no audio.

[IRCA] 963
Interesting, I was listening to 963 and all of a sudden at 03:45 (like a lightswitch) up came CRI in RR from Pori, Finland with a CC lesson in Russian. Neat.

At 08:21 PM 10/7/2009, you wrote: Yes, 1161 is gone, but it was amazing soon after 0100. No luck with the 855 mystery here. It's only Spain I've been getting, and not a lot of that. I seem to be hearing different stuff than the guys out west tonight. I was amazed to hear some TA action on the even frequencies. Somone on 810 has been strong at times. Thought maybe it was the Winnipeg ethnic station until I heard them QRMing the mystery station.And at 0300 on 1530 I was amazed to hear bits of the VOA's Yankee Doodle theme coming through KFBK. Once again tonight the Voice of Russia is doing well on 1548 from Moldova. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta I checked my 1530 on the SDR wav file and nothing heard there.

Re: [IRCA] TAs in Alberta
These guys Farda and Sawa are experiencing sunrise around 0200 or 0230 this time of year so that is still a tad early for Victoria but it is pitch black dark in AB then. S... wait a couple of weeks. I am waiting a few weeks so I don't have to stay up so late to try to get a positive on AK on 750 and in Dec I don't have to stay up too late for Japan. - Original Message - From: Walter Salmaniw salma...@shaw.ca To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 10:38 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] TAs in Alberta At 06:29 PM 10/7/2009, you wrote: Just a quick alert to those of you further west - TAs are happening again.
