[IRCA] TP's & DU's for Thursday, August 23, 2012

[Dennis Vroom <vroomski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Russian long wave stations again this morning with static crashes. MW TP's weak this morning with the exception of HLAZ 1566 which has been the most consistent TP this month. Aussie's with audio on the upper channels. 2BS believed to be the station with Oldies on 1503 kHz and 1701 kHz late this morning with Hindi chanting and a station with a POP rock song heard during a fading period for XEPE. 1701 kHz better signals the Sky wire loop, but also more splatter from XEPE with using this antenna. Gary's probably has about 25 minutes of DX left on the Oregon Coast.  


153     RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1144-1147 good signal with woman in Russian followed by man in Russian. A lot of static.

189     RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1208 very weak signal with man in Russian on second scan of long wave band.

1548    UNKNOWN, 1257-1300 weak signal in unknown language. A lot of splatter from KKOV.  Best on NW ewe. Been hearing                  a decent het recently on 1548. Woman announcer at 1304, ESSC mode helped some with splatter.

1566    REPUBLIC OF KOREA, HLAZ 1159-1204 good signal with women singing religious hymns. Singing when through the TOH.

                   pop type music. 1338 XEPE signal flares up some, but the two Aussie signals are very weak. Signals
                   faded out at 1339 with increasing XEPE splatter.
