TP 23 Feb Victoria version.  View Printable Version 
Sunday, February 24 2019

IRCA
Another step up today, with a decent sunrise lift. Interesting that the upper band Asians were best on the north Flag, while the lower band Asians (and DUs of course) were better on the west Flag. This has been a general tendency, but very marked this morning.

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

594 JOAK 1449UT

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

774 JOUB 1506UT

1422 JORF 2 women in Japanese 1509UT

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

567 JOIK //594 1448UT

603 HLSA 1503UT usual ballads; noted earlier //558

747 JOIB 1453UT

828 JOBB 1448UT

1503 JOUK //594 1512UT

1557 RTI 3 and one pips on hour, peaked at 1456UT with man in Chinese

1593 NHK2 Japanese woman //774 o/CNR1 1514UT

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)

558 HLQH ballad //603 1451UT

585 JOPG //594 1457UT

612 4QR //702 1454UT

693 JOAB //774 1451UT when 690 splat let up

702 2BL //612 1452UT

756 man and woman, DU English intonation 1453UT; RNZ?

1386 NHK2 //774 1504UT, erratic fading

1566 man and woman talking, maybe Chinese 1512UT

1575 man SE Asian language? 1457UT

1593 CNR1 woman //6175 at 1507UT


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

657 666 702 729 972 1242 1332 1404 1458 1494 1584 seemed to be Asian;

576 621 882 891 909 1017 1098 seemed to be DU

My flags, phasers and FLG100 Wellbrooks have been up and running for almost 1 month - incl. the Drake R8âs...

Maybe I should get up.

TAs poking their noses up again, carriers 1215, 1053, 999, 1386 at
0315UT....and with a bit of imagination, there's a buzz on 1575...the
sidebands are quite visible even when not audible.

KRRD-1250 / KFFK 1390 / K291CK 106.1 in northwest Arkansas  View Printable Version 
Sunday, February 24 2019

IRCA
1250 KRRD Fayetteville AR 2/24 0322 UTC - Good signal with "...northwest Arkansas, Red Dirt Country 106.1" at the end of liner spoken by a male that sounded like Sam Elliot (the actor), then into modern C&W music. On a hunch, I checked 1390 to see if it was simulcasting KFFK in Rogers (and K291CK in Fayetteville), and sure enough, it is. This is a very recent format change, no longer news/talk, and the 1390 is no longer Spanish, either.

This from Greg Buchwald via FB

Traveling to WION, Ionia, MI tomorrow to do a bunch of PM. After midnight EST (early Sunday morning), we will be doing testing at full power, omni. Work includes IPM reduction and sweeping each tower so that I can complete the design and construction of a non-resonant power divider. The current resonant tank circuit divider exhibits 4dB of sideband tilt that I currently correct using the cquam exciter. That is, of course, not ideal and we'll be broadbanding that array. WION 1430kHz. We will complete the work with a few highly separated musical selections. DX reports appreciated!
