[IRCA] Poipu, Kauai (Hawaii) DXing

After two trips to Kona, Hawaii (on the Big Island) my wife and I decided to try a vacation on the "Garden Island" of Kauai. Craig Barnes has already been here with his 5" Frequent Flyer FSL in April of 2017 ,and made out like a bandit with lots of Asian DX in Princeville, on the north

Re: [IRCA] This morning's TP loggings from Central Iowa

I don't know how you guys end up recording the same thing at the same time like that, but Mauno, you are correct. I don't really hear KBS at the top of the hour at the specific time we were paying attention to in Tim's clip, but in comparison to your clip, I can hear KBS instead at the start of

Re: [IRCA] Poipu, Kauai (Hawaii) DXing

Hi Gary It sounds like you're off to a good start. 783 lacked the key words I need, such as "Guangbo", to ID Chinese stations.  No ideas on that one. 801 sounds like Italian, which suggests the Rete Italia station in Gosford NSW.  The gang at RealDX should  be able to nail it down for sure.

Re: [IRCA] This morning's TP loggings from Central Iowa

I have set my Perseus to record two minute TOHs whenever conditions are good (like these days!) and especially at greyline hours. I have saved quite a few of them, the first ones are over 10 years old. Mauno Ritola Joensuu, Finland Chris Kadlec kirjoitti 3.11.2018 klo 14:04: I don't know

Re: [IRCA] Poipu, Kauai (Hawaii) DXing

Another person, another opinion. I think the 801 is not Italian but rather Portuguese. Perhaps I am being fooled by a strong accent but so it seems. If so, I suppose it is Niche Radio.. 783: there is indeed a "guangbo diantai" ID at :17. I think she says "Hebei Shenguo Guangbo Diantai".

Re: [IRCA] Poipu, Kauai (Hawaii) DXing

801 is in Portuguese, and to my ears of the Brazilian kind. Are you sure you weren't on 800, though the direction would be totally wacky?    The woman says "Transmundial" within the opening seconds of your clip but there's no context I can grab before that. Theo On 3/11/2018 9:15 AM, Bruce

Hi Bruce, Thanks for your assessments on 783 and 801, which are appreciated! In the sunrise session this morning 918-Cambodia was dominant over Shandong after daybreak, which was the opposite of the Cook Island situation in April. Here was Cambodia over Shandong at 1618. Shandong shows up

[IRCA] 3 Nov Victoria version.

This morning seemed to be another step towards more normal November conditions. Domestics seemed quite splashy also, and along with the DX fading quite erratically made for some difficulty here. Items of note were hearing the Chinese pips on 1530kHz at 1500UT, though I would have missed them

Better location - larger and higher Flags - wetter ground, nearby lake, underground utilities, currently (fingers crossed) very low ambient gadget noise level... that likely all gives me 6-9 dB better S/N ratio on every frequency. Colin Newell - Victoria - B.C. CANADA - > On Nov 3, 2018, at
