[IRCA] UnID Oz Pest on 693 kHz

This prolific Australian pest station was the dominant performer on 693 KHz during the sunrise sessions in the Cook Islands, frequently pounding in at S9 levels but never seeming to provide any identity clues. It had a real talent for snarling Bangladesh at critical moments, although the latter

Around 0845 UTC (time approximate) on April 12th this 1170 kHz station was received on Aitutaki in the Cook Islands (4,600 miles distant from the west coast) broadcasting the "Coast to Coast" program with a "Radio 1170" ID at 32 seconds into the recording. Any ideas on the station identity

I'm very sorry to hear this, Colin. The memories of your close relationship with your Mom are very touching, and sooner or later we all need to face such a day. I hope that you and Andrea can find comfort and support from your friends and family at this difficult time. Gary > On April 18,

Colin, you have my condolences for you and your family at this difficult time. Savor the good memories as over the years they fade. 73 KAZ On Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 1:09 AM, Gary DeBock wrote: > I'm very sorry to hear this, Colin. The memories of your close > relationship

Re: [IRCA] 1170 Coast to Coast UnID from USA in Cook Islands

Thanks Todd, KFAQ sounds logical to me if it carries the Coast to Coast program. Oddly enough almost all the USA signals received in the Cook Islands came from California, with the exception of 1160-KSL (which blasted in at an S9+++ level on one night). Since I was DXing in the DU area, maybe

Last September I posted an Excel file of all Coast to Coast AM stations on the ABDX site. You can use filters to search by frequency. The list has KFAQ and WWVA on 1170. Martin Foltz Mission Viejo CA > Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2018 14:33:14 -0700 (PDT) > From: Gary DeBock >

Re: [IRCA] UnID Oz Pest on 693 kHz

Chuck, As far as chasing Myanmar in the DU area, I think that both 576 and 594 are pretty much out of play. If the 50 kW Oz big guns don't get you the dwarf Stars will. Gary > On April 19, 2018 at 3:28 PM Chuck Hutton wrote: > > Gary - > > I've heard Myanmar

Gary I can hear a "Talking Melbourne" jingle at 6:36, so it's 3AW. Bruce On 4/19/2018 02:52, Gary DeBock wrote: This prolific Australian pest station was the dominant performer on 693 KHz during the sunrise sessions in the Cook Islands, frequently pounding in at S9 levels but never seeming

Re: [IRCA] UnID Oz Pest on 693 kHz

Agree with Bruce and Chuck and there's also a commercial starting at 6:05 for a law firm (Morris and Associates?) with "four locations around Melbin" at 6:31 plus indistinct dub-dub-dub address just before the jingle. Theo On 19/04/2018 2:52 AM, Gary DeBock wrote: This prolific

Gary: KFAQ carries "Coast to Coast” at 0500-0900 UTC, and their ID slogan is “Talk Radio 1170”. Very good catch. Richard Allen. Sent from my iPad ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca

Re: [IRCA] UnID Oz Pest on 693 kHz

Thanks Bruce, Chuck and Theo, Your detailed listening and 3AW identity clues are greatly appreciated! 693-3AW was one of three very prolific Oz pest stations which routinely fouled up exotic frequencies every morning around sunrise in the Cooks. Probably the worst one was on 1566 (presumably
