Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?



Thanks for the recent offset on AIR Mauno. That should be very visible then, and I don't think I saw any sign of it yesterday. ABC was quite strong and became dominant after 1330UT, but we're talking carriers here, any audio was pretty much in the mud by that time.

(Spectran is also good software for looking at offsets in the audio beat note)

best wishes,

Nick

Glenn, what about next time feeding ±1 kHz SSB audio from your comms rx to your computer and check by Argo or similar software the frequency offset if any? AIR is 6 Hz below nominal, NHK on nominal, ABC +1.

Isn't that the beauty of DXing?  One just never knows!   One day it's one
channel, and on the next, something completely different.  This brings me
back to November 3 years ago in PEI, when 1566 AIR was just booming in for
several hours.  Yep, armchair copy at 3:00 in the afternoon.  Anything is
possible!  73,...Walt

The end of August can be a strange and interesting time for transpolar
signals.  There were TA carriers in western Canada a couple of nights ago
after quite a short period of quiet conditions.  Unfortunately, the 29th
was the one morning my SDR recordings failed, but the signal strength
monitor recording looked lively, and this morning  (30th) showed the first
signs of mainland China this season as geomagnetic conditions worsened.
At 1320UT when we had our grayline to India, JOAK ruled the roost, no
argument.   There were two other carriers as well as JOAK however....0.4
and 0.6 lower, 0.9 and 1.9Hz higher, plus a couple of others, and some got
within 10dB or so of JOAK (briefly).

So, I won't join the naysayers on this.   I would encourage other DXers in
the central part of the continent to hunt for this at that time, though
likely it will have to wait until the current geomagnetic upset works
itself out.   Once we're right into the thick of the season, I suspect
chances will become slimmer, as arctic conditions become more "normal".

UNIDENTIFIED. Re trans-Pacific MW carrier search: ``at 1146 UT Aug 29,
something on 594 seems to peak N/S --- that can`t be right. Those were on
the DX-398``

Now it dawns on me this could well be the megawatt in Chinsurah, INDIA:
``Akashvani Maitree channel on 594 kHz beamed to Bangladesh``

Grayline would work as sunset in Kolkata is about 1225 UT, and sunrise
here 1202 UT. Make that trans-polar! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
