Thanks for your thoughts on this Chris.  I'll see if I can dig up a 
recording of the 1566 jamming, or whatever it was, for you, but it 
may take a day or two.


best wishes,

[IRCA] TP 2 Dec Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Lively again, but not with many of the Japanese that Nigel heard, in 
fact, they were a little suppressed.   It was a bit more Chinese 
oriented (so to speak).I had to limit the time spent on playback 
of the SDR files, just too many possibilities there.   I'd say the 
peak was just after 1500UT,  getting fairly dull after 1520UT, and 
with no sign of really late (1700UT) DX today.







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


594 JOAK Japanese man in Japanese 1505UT
747 JOIB man in Japanese //774 (much weaker) 1510UT
972 HLAZ man in Korean 1503UT, had been bothered by a Chinese speaker 
a minute or two earlier.

1566 HLAZ choral music 1539UT





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



639 CNR1 man in Chinese, one low pip, one high pip, Beijing time 
check 1430UT, news sounder etc.

981 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1508UT, ID'd earlier by parallels
1017 CRI woman in Korean 1502UT




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


558 HLQH soft vocal music 1441UT  //603 which channel was actually 
mostly Chinese talk by woman

603 HLSA soft vocal music 1431UT, //558 which was barely there just then
612 4QR fanfare, ABC news 1500UT
891 JOHK man in Japanese //594 1401UT
918 unID woman in Chinese 1506UT
945 CNR1 man in Chinese, news sounders 1530UT, best on north Flag
1206 Yanbian woman and man in Korean 1501UT
1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1524UT




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)


702 2BL man talking //612 1507UT, plus someone else.
819 woman and man talking, Korean inflection 1504UT
837 JOQK man talking //891 1401UT
972 unID woman talking, Chinese inflection during dip in HLCA's signal 1502UT
1143 woman talking, Chinese inflection 1503UT; something else there also
1242 pop music 1503UT
1323 CRI immense carrier, slightest traces of chimes and fanfare 
1500UT, heck, those could have been from one of the other CRI 
stations on that channel, they were so weak.   There were a couple of 
other carriers on the channel, but no better than 20dB down

1377 CNR1 man talking, news sounders, //639 1502UT

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


 621 756 855 936 1008  1035 1098 1107  1152 1179 1251 1278 1386 1422 1476


best wishes,

Nick

In regards to the type of jamming on 1566, if it was indeed jamming, I can't 
really answer that. I suspect that they were using dead air on 810 to jam as 
the audio was muddy but it was still understandable. The intelligence 
service is largely half-incompetent as it is with these jammers. I've

I'm not sure about 1566 and rebroadcasting audio. It may be another

I guess my question was more about whether this is a specific style
of jamming (which I'd incidentally heard on 1566). I'd never
heard it before, and it sounded like rebroadcast audio of the
targeted station.   Do you know if that is what is happening in your 
example?



(This one is used at tourist sites along the DMZ. This is recorded
less than 10 miles from the tower of 50kw 810 KCBS while standing
beside the North Korean customs booth a half mile from the actual
border, but a 60dBu silent signal very closeby is muffling it. These
are mounted on little sticks on the side of buildings like 10-watt
transmitters.)



It sounds as if you're suggesting the distortion is only the muffling
from the nearby open carrier...which I'm assuming I didn't have when
I heard something similar on 1566.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 December 2016

[Nigel Pimblett]

 Great conditions to Japan this morning, certainly the best of the 
season.  The opening seemed pretty much limited to Japan though (not 
that I'm complaining), with only the two powerhouses on 972 and 1566 
from Korea, and nothing from China.



531 JOQGMorioka, JAPAN  Talk by a woman at 1330, //594

567 JOIKSapporo, JAPAN  Fair, with talk by a woman at 1333, 
//594.

585	JOPG	Kushiro, JAPAN		First heard at 1354 with man talking, //594. At 
a 1402 check it was at a good level, equal to 594.


594JOAKTokyo, JAPANAlready good at 1320 with woman in 
Japanese.  Solid signal to past 1500, blowing away the IBOC QRM today.


639	JOIP	Oita, JAPAN	First heard weakly at 1336.  Better at 1410 with 
man speaking //594.


666 JOBKOsaka, JAPANWoman talking in Japanese, //594.

693JOABTokyo, JAPANOnly traces through strong splatter at 
1323, but much stronger after about 1400 - good, bordering on VG at times.


702 NHK2 synchros   JAPANMan and woman in Japanese, //774 etc.

729	JOCK	Nagoya, JAPAN	Man and woman in Japanese at 1335, //594. 
Stronger than 594 at times over the next hour.


747	JOIB	Sapporo, JAPAN   Two men conversing in Japanese at 1323.  Fair 
at that point, but VG later, with signal strength greater than CBX on 740.


774JOUBAkita, JAPANAlready good at 1315 with woman in 
Japanese.  Up to VG by 1415 with strength matching Calgary on 770.


801	unID	Slow English language vocal by a woman at 1412.  Pretty sure it 
was a Christian song, which would strongly suggest Guam.


819 JONKNagano, JAPAN   Talk by man in Japanese at 1442, //594.

828JOBBOsaka, JAPANFirst noted at 1316 with man in Japanese. 
 VG later, about as good as 774 this morning.


837	JOQK	Nigata, JAPAN	First noted with traces of woman talking at 1325. 
 Up to fair by 1348 with man in Japanese, //594.


846 unIDTalk by a man at 1439

etc.

910.

954 JOKRTokyo, JAPANMan speaking in Japanese at 1437

972	HLCA	Danjing, S.KOREA	Poor at 1317 with man in Korean.  Mostly fair 
from 1400 to 1500, with short peaks to good.


1071	unID	Poor, pretty certain it was Japanese, but did not seem // with 
594.


1008unIDBits of audio at 1501.  Likely JONR, Osaka.

1089	JOHB	Sendai, JAPAN	Man and woman talking during language lesson, 
//774 etc.


1116	unID	Man talking.  Suspect it wasn't 4BC today.  Too weak to be 
100% certain of language, but the cadence sounded typically Japanese.


1188unIDTraces of talk by a man at 1328

1242JOLFTokyo, JAPANJust bits of talk by woman in Japanese at 1352.

1287JOHRSapporo, JAPAN  Fair to good, with pop song in Japanese at 1453.

1314JOUFOsaka, JAPANBits of man and woman conversing in Japanese at 
1454.

1566HLAZCheju, S.KOREA This one was not really any better

I'd spend upward of 750-1000 on a good tablet or laptop and an SDR... I'm
not sure I want to spend that much and like I said, not sure I have the

work worth a crap

I put the original WJIB-96.9 Boston on the air on 9/15/67 and while the 
original format is gone and the call letters moved to 740, there are still a 
few of us around from the original era who would like to commemorate the 50th 
anniversary next September. Bart Cronin, a DXer of yore, was an early member of 
the WJIB team. The last I heard he was in Washington state somewhere. Does 
anybody out there in DXland know his whereabouts? If so, please respond to this 
or to me directly at p...@comcast.net . Thanks.

[IRCA] Todays Logs + Errorata :-)

[Michael Yule]

Hi again all - thanks to all of you that responded both on and off list to
my question and helped me sort out a couple of things with the logs. I only
tentatively ID'ed the SER outlet as Manresa because MWLIST didn't show any
//'s on Elche, but now I know that all SER's are synchro, so that's helpful.
On Iran, the only thing I can say about my Farda gaffe was that I had 1575
on another RX on the Elad, and when I was taking notes I must've mucked it
up. You guys are sharp! WRT Ukraine, I should have known it was Ru and not
Ukrainian, largely because it says so right on the MWLIST. Apparently I'm
going  to have  to get more sleep.

 

With respect to the calibration I will not connect the ICOM to the ELAD. I
wondered about putting 5V at the antenna terminal, and apparently it was
good I asked. I am going to try and calibrate against a groundwave IBOC
first, and see what that does. Apparently they have to be within 1 Hz, so
that should work, if I can find one close enough. Theres a few in NY state,
so hopefully I can use one of those.

 

Thanks again everyone!

 

Regards,

 

Michael

Look here:

It does not show an antenna socket, and no mention of 9kHz channels.

For 9kHz channels, and 1kHz tuning, but no antenna socket, look at the
PR-D15.

[IRCA] Sangean PRD7

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

I've seen an indication in one place online that this has a socket for an
external am antenna, but I can't confirm this nor find any pictures of it.

Is this true and if so, what kind of socket is it?

will a PRD7 bought in the US tune 9khz frequencies? I know it can do it,
says the manual, but was curious.

Of course, makes perfect sense Chris.   I wasn't thinking about the 
location of the jamming transmitter.  (or thinking at all perhaps)




I'm not sure about 1566 and rebroadcasting audio. It may be another 
phenomenon, though things change year by year in the area.



I guess my question was more about whether this is a specific style 
of jamming (which I'd incidentally heard on 1566). I'd never 
heard it before, and it sounded like rebroadcast audio of the 
targeted station.   Do you know if that is what is happening in your example?



(This one is used at tourist sites along the DMZ. This is recorded
less than 10 miles from the tower of 50kw 810 KCBS while standing
beside the North Korean customs booth a half mile from the actual
border, but a 60dBu silent signal very closeby is muffling it. These
are mounted on little sticks on the side of buildings like 10-watt
transmitters.)



It sounds as if you're suggesting the distortion is only the muffling 
from the nearby open carrier...which I'm assuming I didn't have when 
I heard something similar on 1566.



best wishes,

SER has local IDs at all sorts of times and what I’ve found most useful is to 
find a time [wav file] that has one and then start looking for others - if 
one’s doing it, they all are.  It’s usually just before TOH or TOHH [top of 
half hour].

RNE has some local/regional IDs at a 0625utc break.  I, for once, took 
advantage of this knowledge and programmed in some 8 min. Mestor events at 
0623utc and got several ‘new’ stations!  It’s boring just recording the usual 
TOH RNE stuff and writing ‘Spain’ in the log.  Having a specific ID is NEAT!

Couple of examples:

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 12-2

[d1028gary]

As Nigel has reported Asian conditions continued to improve this morning, with 
several second-tier TP's managing decent signals in addition to the usual big 
guns. The Chinese mid-band stations were the main attraction here, peaking at 
around 1500 with pretty decent audio. 

At my 1430 start time there were already some very good signals from 594-JOAK 
and 1566-HLAZ, along with good signals in and out on 693, 747, 774, 828, 973 
and 1053. In a somewhat unusual pattern the Chinese mid-band stations on 936, 
1017, 1035, 1044 and 1206 were also in weak audio, along with 657-Pyongyang, 
738-BEL2, 1134-JOQR, 1503-JOUK and 1575-VOA. Around 1500 both the Korean 
service on 1017-CRI and the Japanese service on 1044-CRI had some fair to good 
peaks, along with the usual echoes from 1035-CNR1. The low band featured some 
fair audio from 603-HLSA, 657-Pyongyang and 738-BEL2 around this time, but none 
of these came up to the level of the mid-band CRI stations. Enhanced 
propagation continued until around 1530, when the watered-down Puyallup version 
of dawn enhancement began to collapse. Best signals overall (very good) were 
from 594-JOAK and 1566-HLAZ, with both peaking around 1500 here.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 12/2/16

[Richard N Allen]

It was another poor morning here (LSR @ 1325).
774 JOUB poor JJ talk at 1139 on SDR; later at 1254 on ULR with poor signal.
828 JOBB? mild het under WCCO-830 at 1308.
1053 ROK Jammer with poor signal at 1322.  It's been some time since last heard.
1566 HLAZ? trace of signal in XERF-1570 splash at 1326.
3945 JOZ5 fair signal to 1405 close.
No signals noted on 567, 594, 603, 693, 747, 972, 1116 or 1593 when checked.

I've never figured out how to handle adjacent channel QRM on the G313e, even 
when using PBT.  It was purchased a decade ago for short wave listening.  At 
the time I was a technical monitor for Radio Japan.  But there aren't many 
broadcasters to listen now, primarily Radio Australia and RNZI, and my ATS909X 
takes care of them.  I'm open to any suggestions on how to DX the MW band from 
those with WiNRADiO experience.

Re: [IRCA] South Korean MW Jamming

[Chris Kadlec]

Correct, all the jammers (except the video game one, which is 819's short 
off-air period between daily sign-off and the dead air/tone before sign-on) 
are South Korea. I'll post the North Korean ones perhaps tomorrow.


The 1053 jammers are complicated, as is that whole busy frequency - the 
busiest, by far, in Seoul. The main two are Seoul and Gimpo. The Seoul one 
is the one everyone always hears overseas, but it doesn't get out well 
locally. I'm not sure if it's directional, but I'm going to guess not. The 
tower site has 19 towers, whereas the Gimpo site is 4 large towers in a 
line, exactly similar to the site in Jeju-do. The 1053 siren jammer is on 16 
1/2 hours a day with very clear on/off times. The Seoul jammer had been 24/7 
for the longest time, but lately has been turning off. It turned off tonight 
at 11:19pm local (1419 UTC) leaving Shenyang and Yanbian to fight it out, 
but I'm hearing one of the new Hwaseong jammers in the distance, though not 
from there. A few jamming sites have gone online in the past two weeks 
across the country. I try to stick to Seoul, which my publication covers, 
and ignore the other areas or else I'd go insane.


The Gimpo jammer, while I have no absolute proof of it (they don't share 
this information, obviously) is aiming south. Why? The purpose of jammers 
isn't to defeat the signal they're up against. You don't aim *at* the signal 
you're jamming. AM radio - even FM - doesn't work like that. So aiming it 
northwest would be a futile effort against a 1,500kw powerhouse. 1053 Haeju 
clocks in at 75-80dBu at my DX site in Incheon, 61 miles from its tower. 
Clear water path does damage. There is no defeating that signal and it's a 
ridiculous attempt to hope to. So the point of the jammers is to cover the 
signal by any means necessary to the majority of the population. 50% of the 
nation's population - 26 of 51 million - live in the Seoul metro area. The 
aforementioned main Seoul site does a half-decent job at covering the most 
densely populated area. On the east side of the city, the Taereung 
experimental site fills in a few areas if necessary. The Hwaseong jammer 
site (which went full power on 11/21 after a year-plus of testing) is now 
taking care of the south and far south suburbs. The purpose of the Gimpo 
siren jammer is to cover Incheon. Incheon is a major city that is connected 
to and is part of the Seoul metro area and it's a coastal city. 1053 with 
that open water path really blasts into there and that jammer has a wider 
and louder signal that really is catered to the coastal areas. Gimpo is 
along the border, so if you want to cover the Korean population, the only 
way to aim is south (the other jammer is 16 miles to the east, so no reason 
to aim in the direction of Seoul, which is already covered). Furthermore, 
the tower site is just barely in Gimpo a short distance from the sea; 
basically it's right beside Incheon itself. And if I'm right, once upon a 
time, the site was *on* the sea. Incheon has been reclaiming land like mad 
over the years, so the coastline extends further and further out.


I'm not sure about 1566 and rebroadcasting audio. It may be another 
phenomenon, though things change year by year in the area. 1566 is a 
horrible frequency in Seoul. It's nearly impossible to get a clear signal on 
FEBC Jeju. There is a ridiculous amount of interference from Yanbian and the 
Pyongyang jammer (//1467 siren jammer which also decimates that frequency) 
really makes things muddy. Of course, I'll post that jammer with the rest of 
the North Korean ones soon. In 2015, I could get a very strong Jeju signal, 
but something changed by 2016; I think Pyongyang increased its power.

Thanks for doing this Chris.   The subtleties are endless.

Couple of questions.   These are all originating  in South Korea, is
that correct?  (except for video games on 819?)
\\

further:

This is the Gimpo siren jammer, THE most powerful jammer in Korea at
250kw, aimed south and on 16 1/2 hours a day, yet still stupidly
leaving a full hour a day unjammed. While it's the most heard in the
country, the dinky Seoul jammer 16 miles away is the one that gets
out across the entire globe but can barely cover a 50-mile radius in
Korea. We suspect its power is going up to the sky (or due north) as
opposed to covering the ground as it should be.


Gimpo being in South Korea, what is it jamming from the
south?  (which might be why we don't hear it on northerly
paths?)This siren is what I heard on 1053 years ago, have a
recording from 2007; the recordings from 2008 are without

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 December 2016- early results

[Nigel Pimblett]

 Hope everyone is able to listen this morning, as here in Alberta 
it's perhaps the best Japanese morning of the season.  Great to hear 
after the doldrums of November.


73,

Re: [IRCA] Nova Scotia Logs and a question

Hi Mike,

I don't have an Elad, but I see no reason this would not work. Tune to WWV,
pick the best frequencies available at the time. Zoom out the display, so
that the 'tip' of the carrier is clearly visible. Use whatever method of
adjustment your software provides.

Good luck.

[IRCA] Nova Scotia Logs and a question

[Michael Yule]

Hi all - sorry for the lack of reports lately - conditions havent been all
that great and I havent had as much tome to spend at the dials.

 

The question I have is with respect to calibration of the ELAD. I would like
to do a calibration of frequency, but frankly I'm not sure how. I don't have
a signal generator, but what occurred to me is that I DO have an old ICOM
R7100 with a 10.7Mhz at 5V output. Can I use this? I would really appreciate
if anyone would let me know how I might go about doing this. I'm pretty sure
that my frequency readout is off by approximately 3-6 Hz, but I have no way
at this point of really verifying that. Thanks!

 

1. SPAIN - SER Radio Manresa (tent.) 1539 kHz 01 Dec 2016 2058-2103 UTC: Not
completely sure of the ID on this, its either Manresa or Elche, but MWLIST
shows Manresa // on 1179 and 1080 and I did hear both these parallels, and
it does not show any // for Elche. The recording starts at 2258:15. Anyone
who has a sec to listen and is better with SS than I am may be able to pick
out an ID. 24432

 

Excited talk by OM n SS - no ID at TOH heard, but a couple of time pips and
// both 1080 and 1179 per MWList. Some QRM after 2101.
