[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 20 September 2016

The Asians were nowhere to be found in southern Alberta this morning. Still a fair number of signals, but none very vibrant, and all from DU. 702 unID Man talking in English. Likely 2BL Sydney, but too much splatter from 700 in Calgary to be certain. 738 2NR

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on Sept 20

It was another productive day in the TP neighborhood, with nice signals from several stations. GOOD 657DPRK, heartwarming patriotic anthem 1304, then rousing talk 1305. Briefly good, but otherwise mostly buried by capitalist splatter. 693JOAB, Japanese woman 1308 747JOIB, English

[IRCA] Japanese Ocean Cliff MW-DXing DXpedition

Apparently motivated by "Cliffhanger DXing" at the Rockwork 4 ocean cliff DXing this July, our Japanese DXpedition partners Hiroo Nakagawa and Satoshi Miyauchi are currently conducting a Japanese version of wild ocean cliff MW-DXing at Cape Taitosaki in Chiba prefecture (on Japan's east coast).

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-20

Richard and Bill, Sunrise enhancement isn't always guaranteed, even here on the west coast. What we usually have during the TP-DX season is somewhat boosted transoceanic reception starting at the first sign of daylight, and continuing for different durations, occasionally until bright

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-20

Awesome advice! This morning was *NOT* China friendly -- I count the morning as China friendly when there is good audio on 1206, 1323 or 1593 -- and that was not the case this morning. Mornings coming up will get extra special attention on 1566 khz for sure. You married guys will love this

Hi Colin, <<< I encourage Gary to have a look at my crystal clear audio and video of HLAZ - I made numerous passes and each time and heard nothing unusual - >>> I've listened to your HLAZ audio as requested, Colin. Did you have any audio or carrier from 1593-CNR1 at the time? As mentioned

Richard, here in Arizona I have had no sunrise boost this year at all. In most years I do get the sunrise boost and at times it has been very good. HLAZ-1566 has been heard 35 minutes past my local sunrise. Bill Block Prescott Valley, AZ Drake R8

Gary: In all my years of listening to Asia signals, I've rarely experienced the so-called "sunrise boost" here. On a few occasions I've heard JOBB-828 for a few minutes past sun-up. Maybe it's because of the signal traveling some distance overland. In the past I've heard JOIB and JOUB

Asian propagation favored several less common Asians this morning, with another generous sunrise enhancement bringing audio from 603-HLSA (fair), 657-Pyongyang (disturbingly strong), 738-BEL2 (fair), 1017 (poor to fair), 1035 (poor) and 1044-CRI (poor to fair). Like yesterday the high band

Not only is EMWG not being maintained, he had indicated that it would be removed at some point, perhaps as early as year-end. I since copied it to pdf although at some point that will be unreliable. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id AM: Modified Sony ICF2010's (4)

Erratic signals, hard work to dig things out. Also carriers so close to audio; just need a better imagination. Didn't have anything like the strength Colin heard on 963 or 1017, but plenty of other things, including some DUs. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native
