[IRCA] TP's for 09/19/10

Listened from 1233-1351. Only one Russian long-wave heard this morning. Conditions down compared to other September mornings. Upper channels had a lot of noise, 1566 up. Hoping other Dxers had better results. 279 RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1233 just above threshold with Russian talk. 594

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 19 Sep 2010

Audio from Japanese today on 567, 594, 666 (1st time this season),693, 747, 774, 828, and 873, though the big signal on 774 was perhaps a shade weaker than yesterday. The Koreans on 972 and 1566 didn't reach audio today, but on the other hand I did get poor-fair audio from VOA Thailand on

[IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Sunday

A mix of DU and TP today; many hets across the whole band. 891 5AN the strongest I've had it this season, and lasting a long time, not fading until after 1400 utc. Audio as noted: 594 poor/weak Asian 1326; 738 poor DU; 828 weak Asian; 891 medium/loud 5AN with news 1331; 1548 poor DU; 657 poor

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle 9-19-10

TP DX continues to improve, with many more carriers today than in past days. Also, some channels produced audio for the first time this season. There weren't a lot of really strong signals, but there were a lot of weak to middling signals. I also checked a few Alaskan channels and noted a

Re: [IRCA] TP DX in Seattle 9-19-10

Excellent JJ/KK/CC opening this morning in Haida Gwaii with Vlad Titarev from Ukraine visiting. Not a peep once again from DU stations. Just weak carriers on x-band noted. Most frequencies especially at top of band with one or more stations, often at armchair levels. 3 deg C. this morning,

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-19

Chuck: 855 and 1206 were off-freq today - I think they usually are. Are those associated with a particular station??? Thanks - Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA Gary: One great clue for telling if you have North Korea on 702 is the frequency. They are audibly off frequency, usually around

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-19

Hi Chuck, Yes, I know what you and Bruce mean about North Korea's obsolete music, angry tirades and ragged carriers. It was particularly satisfying to hear Pyongyang get completely pushed off of 657 kHz yesterday by the relatively sane-sounding Chinese station. Thanks for the tips on the

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-19

Absolutely positively and definitely. North Korea 855 has been high forever and stays around 855.045. China (Yanbian) is always off frequency and stays around 1205.979 but varies and has funny sidebands that some people thought are 50 Hz but I don't see that. In any case, in LSB it is audibly

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-19

Thanks! They were both in this morning with weak/fair audio - good to know who they are! Kevin Absolutely positively and definitely. North Korea 855 has been high forever and stays around 855.045. China (Yanbian) is always off frequency and stays around 1205.979 but varies and has funny

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-19

Hi Nigel, Thanks for your report on the 702 kHz carriers in Alberta. I'm sure that I had the off-frequency North Korean producing the raspy-sounding 702 kHz carrier here this morning. North Korea seems to have a propagation pipeline to here, unlike Australia. 702-2BL (and the other DU's)
