[IRCA] TP 1 Feb Victoria version

2017-02-01 Thread Nick Hall-Patch 
 The band seems open again over the last few days,after weeks of 
doldrums, and apparently a  little K=5 isn't going to hold it 
back.   Understandably, much of the action was DU, but the big Asian 
guns weren't exactly hiding in the undergrowth just before 
sunrise.  Not much noise and splatter this morning meant that some 
weak ones crept through too.




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



594 JOAK woman in Japanese 1526UT
747 JOIB man in Japanese 1516UT
774 JOUB man in Japanese //747 1516UT





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


612 4QR man and woman in DU English, call in quiz of some sort? 1527UT
828 JOBB man in Japanese 1517UT, seemed to be a peak for NHK2 just then
891 5AN two men doing teletalk 1421UT, DU English, faded somewhat by 
1430UT, but definite fanfare then
1116 4BC "on Brisbane's news talk 4BC" by man 1528UT, not really 
strong, but clear



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



603 unID man holding forth in DU English 1331UT, then a more relaxed 
sounding man, no parallels found
972 HLCA two women, one on phone, in Korean 1350UT, only for a couple 
of minutes



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)


576 two  men talking, DU English inflection 1351UT
702 2BL woman talking //612 1529UT
756 RNZ National two men talking //837 1414UT
738 2NR woman talking //612  1407UT
747 4QS man talking //612 1535UT
774 3LO woman talking //612 1547UT
837 756 RNZ National two men talking //756 1414UT
855 4QO/4QB woman on phone //612 1534UT, very faint but this portion 
of the band was quiet
891 man talking DU English inflection, 1530UT, had a sort of ABC 
sound, but no fanfare on the half hour

891 JOHK woman talking //594 1517UT


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


1242 1566  seemed to be Asian;   531 792 909 936 seemed DU



best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 February 2017

2017-02-01 Thread Nigel Pimblett 


   One solitary TP signal this morning:

1116	4BC 	Brisbane, AUSTRALIA	Fair with news by woman at 1402.  Rapid 
up/down fading.  Two minutes earlier even the time pips were inaudible.



A number of carriers on the regular DU channels, but pretty much zero 
from Asia.


Given the paucity of TP signals the past couple of days I was checking 
my recording from the good Japanese morning of the 30th, and discovered 
three Alaskan signals (KNOM, KICY, and KBBI).  Probably the three 
easiest AKs from here, but still the first I've logged all season, so 
nice to hear.



73,

Steve:

I'm hearing R. Algérienne, 252, at 0400 with an S7 signal.  Medi 1 Radio, 171, 
is poor, while R. Marocaine, 207, is barely audible.  I'm surprise I can 
anything considering the increased geomagnetic activity.  No European stations 
are audible.

Re: [IRCA] S. AZ LWBC 171 good and the west coast experience

2017-02-01 Thread Walter Salmaniw 
Surely a big zilch on the west coast.  LW or MW to Europe is closed.  On
the other hand, walking home from downtown, I marveled at the night sky.  A
very bright Venus, then Mars, and a crescent Moon, all in a row in the
south-western sky.  Above the moon was Uranus (visible with my binoculars)
and to the east was the Orion Nebula in the constellation of the same name,
 below the famous belt and quite visible, best again through my
binoculars.  Sure beats DXing sometimes!  Oh, almost forgot about Neptune
above the western horizon.  Not 100% sure whether I saw that one for
certain or not with binocs again.  Kind of magical to see all of that
majesty in our night sky!   73,  Walt

171 is doing very well at 0230 utc here. Medium level! The R75's sync 
detector has lock and is giving good audio--it takes a good signal to do 
that. 252 only very poor/poor at this time.
