Most likely the "pile of noise" on the high side of 1090 is IBOC from WTIC 1080.

[IRCA] TP 6 Mar Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Shrinkage of signals is the best way of putting it.




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


nope




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

and nope




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


too much to ask for




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 2RN folky vocal music, barely there, but //585 with a slight offset, 1445UT

585 7RN vocal mx // with even weaker 576 1445UT

612 4QR woman talking //1548 on Brisbane KiwiSDR 1446UT; also note earlier and 
weaker, //702 at 1412UT

702 2BL man talking //612 1412UT

1566 woman and man talking, Chinese intonation 1354UT; reprise but weaker at 
1426UT


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

594 747 774  1593  seemed to be Asian; 
  
891 1017 1098 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] spotting website question

[James Niven]

Steve,
I have had a lot of success with this email forum,
https://groups.io/g/swskeds
You will need to join the group to get access to the excel files which are
undated every week, this is by far the best around for current information
of stations on the air.
Try it...

Thanks

[IRCA] spotting website question

[Stephen Hawkins]

IRCA,

A little off AMBCB Dxing topic but maybe someone out there can point me 
in the right direction.


It has been a while since I did any serious shortwave listening outside 
the Ham Radio bands.  Retirement has increased my radio seat time into a 
world not enjoyed for quite some time.


It occurred to me this afternoon as I was tuning around between 11.500 
and 12.000 there were many stations, mostly all in SS.  Not knowing who 
they were I wondered if there were spotting websites for SWL or for that 
matter AMBCB like there are for Ham radio. Something along the lines of 
DXSummit or DXScape.


A little out of touch,

Steve

Yes, sounded like "SB Nation", so that's gotta be it.  A relog.  Thanks,
gents.  I was trying to parallel Seattle and Tijuana to no avail.  A huge
pile of noise on 1090, such that 1090 was better in LSB than USB, though
that left an ear piercing het from 1089.  Talk Sport 1089 was better than
the signal on 1090.  WBAL returned before 0300 EST.  Jim Renfrew
