Re: [IRCA] Oregon Beach DXpedition

Hi Guy,
 
Thanks very much for listening to the 585 kHz MP3, and for your  helpful 
comments.
 
When I first tuned to 585 kHz (in Oregon) and heard the classic rock  at a 
decent level, I had absolutely no idea what it was. Nothing like that  had 
ever shown up for me at Grayland on my modest equipment. Many other DU  
surprises followed, though, like the fairly strong NZ Maori station on 603,  a DU 
talk station fighting it out with 639-Fiji every morning, 666 kHz in  
French, a 684 kHz parallel with 639-Fiji, a weak DU co-channel (with talk  
format) on 657 kHz with NZ's Southern Star, and other mysteries.
 
The variety and strength of the DU signals in Lincoln City was  completely 
unexpected, and made me wonder whether we were getting the short  end of the 
stick at Grayland :-)
 
73, Gary

Hi  Gary,

Thanks for posting the MP3s. On the 585 recording, the meat of  the possible
ID is between 2:18.3 and 2:20.5, a mere two and a half  seconds! However, 
I'm
90% sure I'm hearing the male announcer with an  Aussie accent, and in
English as you mentioned.

I've listened to it  over and over, at 0.7x the original playback speed 
(with
pitch adjustment,  in Total Recorder Pro). As best as I can make out, I'm
hearing:   "..news... ..??EB...Halpern (or "Melbourne")"   That's it! It's  
a
real tough audio segment to understand. I hope another DXer can make  out
more details.

The most promising clues that it's 585 2WEB is the  Aussie accent and the
"..EB" partial callsign that I might be  hearing.

A very nice DU catch on an ultralight, whatever it really was,  Gary!
