[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-28

[d1028gary]

The dawn session was unusual in having a large number of Asian signals from 
diverse areas, with very few of them having anything better than ghostly audio. 
In the predawn darkness at 1430 only 747-JOIB, the 1053-Jammer and 1566-HLAZ 
had fair audio, but 594, 693, 738, 774, 828, 972, 1044, 1134, 1503, 1575 and 
1593 all were at threshold levels. By 1515 the high band received a modest 
sunrise enhancement boost with 1566-HLAZ's Chinese service coming up to a good 
level, while 1503-JOUK, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR! each had their moments of fair 
audio. By contrast the low and middle band Asians didn't seem to go anywhere 
except deeper into the noise. Overall the session would have been another 
clunker except for the unusual variety of ghostly signals. 

73 and Good DX,

Re: [IRCA] Too cold!

Dave seemed to have permanently left the hobby, despite some reports that
he might return to the hobby.  I've heard he's devoted his time to his
daughter's ballet career.  I'd hate to say this if I'm wrong, but didn't
Cedric pass away?   73,...Walt

Re: [IRCA] -23F Below TP Report 11/28/16

[Walter Salmaniw]

Paul, I have to give you my cold weather DX story.  For others who have
heard it, my apologies.   Takes we back to the late 80s/or very early 90s.
January in Victoria.  We had had a very cold spell of - 15 to - 20 deg C
for a couple of weeks.  Very unusual for Victoria.  About a foot of snow on
the ground.  I ventured out to our favourite DX sites at Jordan River which
is about 1 1/2 outside of Victoria, many km from anyone.  To access our DX
site, one left the roadway and drove a few hundred meters down an old
logging road.  Snow covered of course!   After setting up my antennas, I
proceeded to DX for the next several days, alone.  Using my NRD 535 D (or
possibly Kenwood R5000) plugged into the cigarette lighter.  Toyota Previa
van.  Comfortable.   No heat at all.  I lived fully clothed and DX'd from a
winter sleeping bag.  I did find that every time nature called, it would
take me an hour or two to warm up again.   It was that cold!DX was
excellent, especially to Africa in our local mornings on 60 meters (I was
into SW DXing in those days).  Anyway, towards the end of my time out
there, I decided to turn the engine on to recharge the battery and warm up
a bit.   No go.  All I got was the dreaded "click-click-click-click".
What to do?   I had no extra battery.  After a while, I thought that if I'd
warm up the battery, it would give me enough juice to turn over the
starter.   I removed the battery, built a little tee-pee over top of it
with a space blanket, and built a fire.  Well, things didn't go my way.
The space blanket quickly caught fire, and threatened to spread to my
vehicle!   Ouch.   Stomped that one out quickly.   Back to square one.  I
did have booster cables.   I trod back to the road, which might see a
handful of vehicles/hour only.  Well a truck did come along, and
hallelujah, the driver stopped and believed my story about needing a boost,
a 1/4 mile off the road.  He drove down the logging road, and kindly jumped
me, much to my relief.   Had no one stopped, I have no idea what I would
have done.  No cellphones in those days, and besides, even if there was,
there was certainly  no cell service there.   That's what we did for DX!
Now, I could tell you about the time Vlad Titarev and I drove out to Rose
Spit on Haida Gwaii for really off the grid MW DXing, during storm force
winds.   That was really something.  Perhaps Vlad can share that story
sometime!  73,  Walt Salmaniw

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 28 November 2016

[Nigel Pimblett]

 Not a super exciting morning, but at least there was some TP 
audio, which hasn't always been the case this past week.



747	JOIB	Sapporo, JAPAN		Could make out the time pips at 1300, but that 
was about it.  That was more than the other Japanese managed though.


792	4RN	Brisbane, AUSTRALIA	'Just there' with ABC news fanfare at 1300. 
Very slightly better at 1400.


1116	4BC	Brisbane, AUSTRALIA	First noted with time pips at 1300, then 
into news by a woman.  In and out over the next 90 minutes with short 
peaks to fair level.


1575	VOA	THAILAND	No trace of audio until 1442 when I heard woman in SE 
Asian language for a couple of minutes.




73,

[IRCA] TP 28 Nov Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

A bit more entertaining around sunrise this morning, and perhaps not 
quite so much earlier.  HLAZ was at its strongest around 1700UT 
today, no longer really qualifying for sunrise enhancement  (coffee 
break enhancement perhaps?)




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


594 JOAK man in Japanese 1533UT
972 HLCA man in Korean 1507UT
1566 HLAZ Christmas carols, man in Korean 1651-3UT, more carols a 
little weaker, 1702UT, then slow fade out, and pretty much gone by 1710UT





Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


774 JOUB woman in Japanese, then man 1501UT //828
828 JOBB  as above //above



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:



612 4QR woman in DU English 1504UT
738 lively pop music  assumed Tahiti, 1321UT
747 JOIB NHK pips, woman in Japanese 1500U
1593 CNR1 man and woman in  Chinese //6125, briefly at this level 1547UT



Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be 
guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music)


567 JOIK man talking //594 1502UT
1179 man and woman talking 1509UT Japanese inflection
1242 pop music 1523UT
1287 man talking, Japanese inflection 1518UT





Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter) lots of near audio here


621 855 891 945 954 1089 1098 1107 1134  1206 1314  1323 1422


best wishes,

--- Begin Message ---
The first draft of the report from my 3 hour mini-DXpedition to Orleans, Cape 
Cod, MA on 9 NOV 2016 has been uploaded.

The link is:
http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/doc1/orleans_20161109.htm

I have a few unID's just put on RealDX so I will update corresponding entries 
as information comes in.

A report formatted for the NRC and IRCA international DX columns is expected to 
be released by Wednesday or Thursday.

This outing occurred during the same timeframe as the PEI DXpedition and within 
a couple of weeks of other activities in New Jersey, Prince Edward Island, and 
Newfoundland.

Results of some of the other important East Coast DXpeditions this month can be 
found via links below.

Paul, I'm surprised no one has asked but why not run a coax from your
comfortable home to the antenna.  It doesn't look very far, and should be
an easy thing to do.  You could set it up and either leave the ALA 1530 up,
or put it up and bring it back in after the session.   There's really no
need to freeze your bu*ns off!   73,...Walt

Re: [IRCA] Chinese Speakers?

[Chris Kadlec]

Thanks Colin, Paul directed me to Keith Perron too (noting that your Coffee 
Crew site designed his website, so I'm guessing you had him in mind), so 
I'll send him an e-mail as well. I hope anyone watching this can throw in 
their two cents if they know anyone or have better Chinese skills than I do. 
The guys on the Chinese-language forums are still making my head spin and my 
Chinese isn't good enough to handle their lack of clear help.


So here's what I'm looking for at the moment:

I have a station that comes in when local Seoul jammers are off on 684. It 
always comes in at 30dBu, just enough above the noise floor to record it 
with minimal interference. It likes to play the same endless music before 
the TOH, do the time pips, and then go into a never-ending blabber, which in 
some of my recordings is all exact the same (same song, same blabber) one 
MP3 to the next. They do not do a typical TOH ID, except for maybe one of my 
clips that has it earlier in the evening. I need just a SINGLE ID from these 
45 minutes or so of audio as it's all one station. A local mention, 
something I can use!!! For all I know, a clue may be in the very first clip. 
A lot of this audio can just be skipped through as opposed to listening to 
ALL of it. They're just my raw audio clips as I don't know where there may 
be a clue and don't want to edit something out as I've done before.


I believe it's 684 Mudanjiang (Heilongjiang). I thought I heard a few 
mentions of "... Economic Radio" in there and have sworn I heard Mudanjiang 
mentions, but no solid proof. There's also a generic health broadcast ad for 
Jilin and Yanbian in one of those clips, but it's a national broadcast, not 
locally-produced content. The signal is predictably, best aimed north...

If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. I'm working on a one-hour 
narrated audio bandscan of Seoul MW. The entire project is stalled because 
of this single station.

Re: [IRCA] ABC 6NM 1215khz Northam, Western Australia

[Theo]

Well, I took another listen, and agree with Chuck on the weather bit 
being reference to general conditions across South Australia and NSW for 
the four-day cricket test match between Australia and South Africa in 
Adelaide.


As a Kiwi-Canadian, I'd be hard-pressed to pin that accent down 
definitively as Aussie, although his pronunciation of "cricket" just 
following the weather reference does tend to be towards "creeket" rather 
than the average NZ flat vowel "crucket"... but it really isn't all 
that, erm, pronounced.  And there are so many variations in speech in 
both countries...


Time-wise, it's still nigh-on impossible to have been Newstalk ZB from 
Kaikohe.  Now that I've gotten my Alaskan zone figured out (could've 
sworn it was UT minus 10 -- oh well), 9.37 am/1837 UT Friday would've 
been 7.37 am NZDT Sat 26 Nov, and sunrise was ~6.04 am/1704 UT.  The Far 
North is far enough west (~173 degrees) to be a bit later than Auckland 
or the strict meridian, and the sun angle at that latitude (~35.4 S) 
just over three weeks before the summer solstice wouldn't help.


As for 4HI, it appears in a lot of the Macquarie Network lists (such as 
local 7-11 pm "Nights With Steve Price" originating at 2GB and also 
carried by 4BC). The Macquarie list contradicts what 4BC's site sez it 
carries until 4.30 am:  Macquarie claims "Luke Bona Australia Overnight" 
which comes out of 2UE -- 4BC has a whole bunch of shows that seem to 
run overnight, though one podcast dated 26 Nov sticks out:




He says "till 5 am" but that would've been Sydney time, 4 am in Brissie  
I know, unnecessary details, but I mention it to show the websites 
aren't reliable!


However, your reception was at 4.37 am QT so we're no further ahead.  
It's a pity they (Macquarie/2GB/4BC/4HI) don't have program grids.


There's an email address though for Geoff Speed at 4HI:

These cricket matches are important to the cricket loving nations. It
seems possible that this is not a station from SA but rather a report being
carried on a station elsewhere. Paul says ZB says it is not them. On what

Re: [IRCA] ABC 6NM 1215khz Northam, Western Australia

[Chuck Hutton]

Gary / Paul -


I don't think this is a true weather forecast with highs / lows/ etc. Rather, I 
think it is a reference to the weather expected for a sporting match. I believe 
they are talking about the expected conditions for the international cricket 
matches in Adelaide.


These cricket matches are important to the cricket loving nations. It seems 
possible that this is not a station from SA but rather a report being carried 
on a station elsewhere. Paul says ZB says it is not them. On what basis? Did 
they listen to a recording? If not, what were they asked? If the question was 
"did you have an Australian weather forecast?" perhaps the responder wouldn't 
know of the reference to weather in a cricket report.

Paul,

I'm sorry that you couldn't come up with a match by listening to the ABC 
archive recording for that time slot in the Perth area LR network at 0200 
Western Australian time.

But I note that your recording has a weather report for South Australia and New 
South Wales. One of the stations listed in Australia on that frequency is in 
New South Wales-- a 350 watt country music station in Bowral (near Sydney). 
Since your recording doesn't match the Western Australian LR network archive of 
ABC the 350w Bowral station would presumably be a possibility. I agree with 
Walt that posting your recording link on the Real DX site would be a good idea, 
since Australian DXers in the Sydney area could possibly identify the voice of 
the announcer, if in fact your recording is from that 350 watt Bowral country 
music station.

[IRCA] Chinese Speakers?

[Chris Kadlec]

Hi guys,

I'm sure I've known some of you for years and haven't spoken as I've been more 
on the FM (and social media) side of things over the years, but it's nice to 
see the familiar names on here again. I thought a few of you were dead but I 
guess you're doing all your DX talk via e-mail instead.

I'm going to assume there are still no Chinese speakers out there (Mandarin, 
not Cantonese)? I know that's been a real challenge for DXers over the years, 
and I certainly feel that pain. If there are, pass the contact info to me 
please.

I've got a station that has been making me tear my hair out - and those of you 
who know me know that I shave my head to start with!!! I have 45 minutes of 
recordings of this one station over the past year and nobody (so far) will 
bother to take a few moments to listen for a single clue, ID, local ad, 
something... I have an unlimited supply of Chinese DXers on the Leowood forums, 
but their lack of help, even when I use Chinese, makes me want to jump off a 
cliff. I have a reliable non-Chinese DXer living in China who has helped well 
in the past, but his reply only took a few months. I don't have that time right 
now as I'm trying to finish an audio bandscan project and this one station is 
holding it up.

With that being said, if any of you have Chinese or Korean stations (or assumed 
ones), especially East Asia, that are UNID, feel free to send them to me. I can 
easily pick apart IDs, as long as they're the standard TOH ID and not oddball 
ones buried in plain speech where the station plays the same song prior to the 
TOH, then goes into the exact same endless babble for five minutes with no 
obvious ID (my current situation). I'd be happy to help if I'm able and have 12 
hours of edited recordings of the East Asia band currently, many with TOH time 
pips, which could be used to compare (and actually helped someone in the past 
week as well). :)

Re: [IRCA] ABC 6NM 1215khz Northam, Western Australia

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

One theory I find plausible is one that a radio friend in NSW brought up

4HI was broadcasting a replay of a sports talk show, hence the mentions of
cricket an suchforth.

Plausible? Considering 4HI rebroadcasts an hour long breakfast show at 1pm,
I find this idea very possible.

Re: [IRCA] BBC News on 990

[Chuck Hutton]

West doesn't matter. Darkness is the same regardless of which direction you 
want from your location.

If you'll take a look at the darkness / daylight picture in a program that 
displays them for the entire world, I think  you'll see darkness over the UK.

At 1830 (6:30 PM) at this time of year, it's way past sunset.
And as for when you have heard English stations: that's not proof. It might 
make the scales tip away from England, but as I said, I see no real hard proof. 
Remember until a week ago, you would have said Western Australia was highly 
unlikely or impossible for you.

Its not Kix Country, that Grant Broadcasters network runs no long form
spech programming. I've confirmed that.

Where is the RealDX group?

A radio friend and I are theorizing it's 4HI's 1215 relay running a live
overnight networked talk program or a replay of an old sports show.

250 watts from Queensland, still not bad.

Re: [IRCA] ABC 6NM 1215khz Northam, Western Australia

[d1028gary]

Paul, 

I'm sorry that you couldn't come up with a match by listening to the ABC 
archive recording for that time slot in the Perth area LR network at 0200 
Western Australian time. 

But I note that your recording has a weather report for South Australia and New 
South Wales. One of the stations listed in Australia on that frequency is in 
New South Wales-- a 350 watt country music station in Bowral (near Sydney). 
Since your recording doesn't match the Western Australian LR network archive of 
ABC the 350w Bowral station would presumably be a possibility. I agree with 
Walt that posting your recording link on the Real DX site would be a good idea, 
since Australian DXers in the Sydney area could possibly identify the voice of 
the announcer, if in fact your recording is from that 350 watt Bowral country 
music station.
