[IRCA] Early Arizona TP report, 11/27

Already another strong morning here, 3 hours before sunrise. Japanese big guns between 1110-1120UT: 693 fair audio 747 good audio 774 excellent audio and weaker stuff fairly similar to yesterday at later hours. I was not running at this hour the past two days, and I have had mornings where

Re: [IRCA] Early Arizona TP report, 11/27

I guess that's what I get for opening my big mouth. After that nice peak early in the 11UT hour, conditions never came back close to that level. Just more typical weak-to-fair audio from the big guns until around the 1413UT sunrise. Brian Rachford - Prescott, AZ On Sun, Nov 27, 2016 at 4:26

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 11/27/16

With a couple of exceptions, the MW band was void of TP signals (LSR 1321 GMT). 774 JOUB a barely audible signal at 1117 fading out at 1129 and not heard afterward. 1116 4BC? a trace of signal observed from DU at 1255 to 1325, with brief bursts of unidentifiable audio. It was another good

Re: [IRCA] Early Arizona TP report, 11/27

It sounds like the West Coast Syndrome is moving inland Brian. We don't seem to be able to count on sunrise enhancement at this time of year. Pretty anemic here also, Italian lessons at mostly poor level on 774 and 828 seemed to be the extent of things as we moved from the dark gray of

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

I've emailed ABC Wheatbealt & Midwest with my recording of 1215khz, to see if it's really them. I know most have said it is ABC, 6NM Northam but I wanted to try and confirm it on my own. The clip was recorded at 1837UTC November 25th, which would be 237AM November 26th in Northam, Western

Yes and yes. Circumstances prevent me from DXing inside at all due to extremely high RF and electrical noise. Paul On Sun, Nov 27, 2016 at 5:18 PM, Saul Chernos wrote: > OK, I know I've been away from the DX lists for close to half a year. So > I'm no doubt somewhat out

OK, I know I've been away from the DX lists for close to half a year. So I'm no doubt somewhat out of tune with the current habits and habitats of fellow hobbyists, and even my own. But let me get this straight - you're in Alaska, it's almost December, and you're DXing outdoors? This would be

Hi Paul, A search of the ABC website resulted in this archive link to a recording of the actual program that you received on 6NM at 1837 UTC on November 25th-- "Overnights," with Rod Quinn as the announcer. This is a 4-hour recording, but you can presumably listen to the first hour of the

Well, there comes a time when even I won't go outside and that's going to happen alot this winter, I can already tell,. It's 9L15AM and -17 below right now, the windchill is at -25 below. Nope, not happening.. no outside DX for me this morning, plus I've got other stuff inside that needs to be

[IRCA] TP 27 Nov Victoria version

Another morning of big guns around 1100UT when nothing was being recorded but signal strengths, then mostly back in the murk by 1200UT, some occasional blips after 1300UT, then an extremely minor recovery around 1500UT. Deeply trivial DX, I fear. pretty darn good audio (all of it

Re: [IRCA] Trying to figure something out...

Late reply on this Paul. Down south (i.e. here), there seem to be periods around the equinoxes when signals from east Asia and Oceania peak near local sunset at the transmitter, and also at local sunrise at the receiver. There is speculation that low loss ducting between E and F layers of

Re: [IRCA] BBC News on 990

No, Paul. There is a direct darkness path to Europe from AK at 18:30 UTC at that time. If conditions are right, then they will propagate. A quick check for propagation would be on 1215 for Absolute Radio. If you can't hear them, then Trans Polar propagation is out, and the signals are coming
