[IRCA] Russian-1710

The Russian (Puget Sound) station is quite decent tonight. The best I have heard them in months, between S3-S5 off the NE EWE. I noticed the KEX IBC is also back. Plus KXOR 660 is indeed back on the air. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 10/30/10

Another bad morning for hearing TP signals in north central Oklahoma. Between 1218 and 1304 UTC, weak carriers were heard on 648, 702, and 774. I heard barely audible audio from JOAK 594 at 1243-1245 and 1258-1300. Receiver: Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5-inch loopstick. Local sunrise was at 1251.

Re: [IRCA] propagation predictions

Probably of limited applicability as it mostly orients itself to SW and VHF. While it includes what hams call LF, which correlates to 160 meters, which is located above the MW BCB, the propagation characteristics aren't identical. The bottom line with almost any MW propagation forecast is that

[IRCA] Arizona TP's for 10-30-10

It was very poor for TP's again but I did hear audio from JOIB-747 and JOUB-774 around sunrise. Yesterday, I went out to check the antenna and found it in good shape which I knew that it would be as we have had no storms in the last week. It sure has been a very poor year for TP's with no

Actually Russ, the reason I mentioned it is because he specifically provides forecasts for MW and LW; the MW forecast is the one I reproduced. best wishes, Nick At 13:30 30/10/2010, you wrote: Probably of limited applicability as it mostly orients itself to SW and VHF. While it includes

[IRCA] TP for 30 Oct from Victoria, BC.

Can't say this was a much better morning here; I had a bit more time, and by bottom feeding, managed to winkle out a few stations. No, hold on, 594 was quite listenable for awhile this morning, and it's been a couple of days I think since any station could have been described that way, other

[IRCA] DX This week

I haven't tried for TPs this week due to poor conditions. I don't think I missed out on much, judging from what others have reported.. Last weekend (10/22-24) Chuck, Tom Roslisberger and I went to Grayland for a two night DXpedition. Conditions weren't great but they weren't totally bad

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-30

Hello All, West coast DXers with reasonably low expectations probably had a decent TP-DXing session this morning, at least in comparison to yesterday's miserable results. Propagation from 1300-1335 was not bad, and allowed some fairly healthy signals from Asian big guns like 594, 747,

KKSN 910 Vancouver, WA changed formats to Northwest bands. I don't know when the AM changed, the FM switched in July. I just found out this morning while tuning across the dial. 94/7 Alternative Portland is the ID. Here's the link http://www.947.fm/pages/7646040.php I have not heard any

[IRCA] Brier, WA TP's for 10/30/10

A vast improvement over 24 hours ago. Lower half of the band was especially decent, though not quite back to average, with the upper half presenting few signals with nothing strong. Dawn enhancement was lackluster this morning with little improvement noted. Five R. Rossii LWBC in this morning

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 30 Oct 2010

As others have noted, a much better morning than yesterday (though that sets the bar awfully low). Audio was limited to the big guns, Japan on 594, 693, 747, 774, and S.Korea on 972 and 1566, but audio did reach some pretty decent levels at times, particularly from 774 and 693. I was up at

Thanks Dennis for the update on KKSN. Have you noticed KXOR-660 returned? No sign of 1040. Don't know about 1450 Eugene from this distance. Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] Newfoundland Ultralight Trans-Atlantics Report Oct 27

India is very likely, even on an ultralight, from NF. I believe Saul Chernos and Chuck Hutton nabbed this one on their barefoot ultralights a few years ago. I had no ultralight to play with, but it was coming in fine on my Drake while they went outside trying to make the whip work its magic.
