Re: [IRCA] TA carriers in AB





Thanks again, Mauno. I'll keep an eye out for other Spanish frequencies the next time that this appears, and also check closer to 0500UT.

best wishes,

Nick

Hi Nick,

last night at 0200 I have València on 1295.998½ and Birmingham on 1296.000 kHz.

Best regards,

Mauno

Thanks for that information Mauno. I checked files from my last Christmas' visit to Khartoum, and it was not heard then. Most of my recordings were in the middle of the night, so I assumed it had signed off after midnight.

Perhaps the power bill from such a big transmitter is more than the government can afford. I've heard that the economy is in rough shape, with quite a bit of inflation.

At any rate, the carrier was not heard this evening. When it is there, it is very close to 1296.000kHz, maybe a little bit low. (and that was not Sudan's 2016 offset either).

best wishes,

Nick

Hi Nick,
AFAIK, Sennar (Reiba), Sudan 1296 kHz has been inactive since last winter, so maybe you are seeing Spain? What is the exact fq?

Best regards,

Mauno

Nothing much noted here in Victoria but an audible 1566 carrier, Nigel. It has been reasonably common over the last month or so, almost always smeared over a couple of Hertz.

1296 hasn't been heard, but has been "seen". It seems to fade out about Khartoum sunrise.  Did you notice when yours faded out?

best wishes,

Nick

but is currently mostly blocked by some neighbor-produced noise.

Ã? I also noticed CJGX is back in strength on 940 so they've evidently resolved the issue that had them at low power recently, and noted that 610 KOJM has their IBOC noise generator back on. I'd been hoping its silence was permanent, but no such luck.
