Feeling inspired after the excellent SRS/SSS presentation by Kaz at the convention, and knowing this is an optimum time of year, I made an effort this morning (in my location, SRS to the east offers more targets than I have for SSS west). The results were quite impressive. One totally new

Hello All, After reading Nigel's report about this year's lack of Chinese signals in Alberta, I can understand why propagation is such a fascinating science. The Chinese have always had the edge here, and this morning the propagation seemed to give them an extra boost. 603-China (Hulun B

A big step up from yesterday, but pretty much only for Japan, and especially on the lower half of the band. The Chinese don't seem to be getting into Alberta very well this season for some reason. Apart from the audio listed below lots of carriers, quite a number at the near-audio level.

As usual in late Oct, SSS DX to my west was decent last night and I'll post a few highlights. I expect to find more once I completely go over the recordings but nothing new was found so far. Times CDT. Noteworthy was 1280 KZNS from UT blasting in with sports ads and local ads crushing KBNO/WWTC

The three tones and a female voice indicate PA DOT or PA Turnpike. The calls are WPUV623. This is a PA DOT series of transmitters located respectively at I-80 exits 16, 18, 19, & 21 in Clearfield, and exit 22 in Lock Haven, as well as one on I-80 in DuBois. There's not any way to know which one

Thanks, Russ. I've come to suspect those three tones as being PA, though it's been hard to tell - so appreciate knowing. The tones sound very similar - if not completely similar (!) to ones NY State uses for its Thruway HARs. Saul Chernos Burnt River ON > Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 09:04:44 -0700

There's a whole whack of stations in PA on 1640, many of them in sync with one-another. I've had echo effects on some TIS/HARs in the X-Band. For some HARs I picture micro stations all along a highway, with NOAA there could be repeaters in multiple communities, without any real way to know from
