670 KHGZ AR Glenwood, 9/15 0056EDT, While listening to local WSCR, they completely left the air for more than a minute, leaving a fairly strong signal with a country version of “I Can’t Stop Loving You.” WSCR came back before any ID, and I checked the possibilities, including KLTT and KBOI. Nothing fit among nighttime signals, but checking daytimer KHGZ’s site I found that Don Gibson’s version of this song had been played a few minutes before. So it seems that KHGZ was on with their 5,000 watt day power. KDF-IL

FINALLY got a moment to type this up. Cx really seemed more like tropo scatter, as nothing would hang around for very long; it would fade up for a bit, then out. WMIT and WGMV were the only ones in from their respective areas; when they came in, I checked for others in their areas, with no luck; Monday evening cx seemed quite attenuated, except for the two I noted. Very strange.

1476 BENIN Parakou 8/19/23 0300 to 0400 UTC. Tentative. A carrier signal came on air @ 0307 doing mostly about 10 dBs or less above the sideband level until it abruptly went off air @ 0352. There was one peak to 20 dB over around 0335. This was the only TA signal during this time. Benin (TWR Africa) is listed as having a program start time of 0320 . The frequency was measured @ 1475.9939 which doesn't match anything MWList had for Benin. Benin, however, is the only station listed on 1476 that would be coming in at this time besides a 250 watt English station.. TPK-WI
1476 NEW ZEALAND Auckland 8/19/23 0925 to 1130 UTC. One of 2 signals on 1476 upon tuning in @ 0925. A weak but steady signal barely rising above the sideband level. It had one peak @ 1112 to 15 dB over the sideband level before it faded and was gone @ 1124. Its frequency was 1475.9982 w/ the latest MWList post(5/23/22) @ 1475.9979. My LSR was 1101 UTC. TPK-WI
1476 AUSTRALIA Roma 8/19/23 0925 to 1130 UTC. One of 2 signals on 1476 upon tuning in @ 0925. A somewhat intermittent weak signal during this time w/ one peak noticed @ 10dBs over. The signal was faded and gone by 1122. Its frequency was variable between 1476.0028 and 1476.0033. MWList's most recent post(8/9/23) is 1476.0033. My LSR was 1101. TPK-WI
1476 AUSTRALIA Mount Gambier 8/19/23 1040 to 1130 UTC. A very weak signal buried in the sideband that was only present from 1040 to 1045 and from 1057 to 1110 UTC. Its frequency was 1475.9992 w/ a very recent MWList post(8/10/23) also @ 1475.9992. My LSR was @ 11011. TPK-WI
1476 CHINA cities unknown 8/19/23 1035 to 1130 UTC. Tentative. A widely smeared signal showed up @ 1035 and peaked @ about 15 dBs over the sideband level @ 1050 before it became faded and gone by 1054 UTC. Smeared signals can be generated by stations experiencing sunsets and the sun was setting across northeast China and just starting to set along its east coast. The center of the smear was measured @ 1476.0037 with a slight drift upwards before it became totally faded. It was also distinct from the Aussie around 1476.0030. MWList has 11 Chinese stations on 1476 with 6 of them located north of the Koreans. There are also 2 stations located near the east coast. MWList unfortunately has no frequency offsets listed for China. My LSR was 1101. TPK-WI

Comments: Last nite (7/27 0300 UTC) I had the sdr on 891 and found no trace of any TA activity, not even from the Algerian. I fell asleep with the radio running and found 3 TP signals coming in when I woke up @ 0930 UTC. Blind luck I guess. HI. Tom
891 NEW ZEALAND Wellington 7/27/23 0930 to 1050 UTC. A very weak, intermittent ghost like signal @ first buried deep in WLS's USB. After 1015 it became a steady signal and peaked @ 10 dB's over the USB @ 1029 UTC. Faded and gone for good by 1038 UTC. Its frequency was 890.9985 w/ the latest MWList post (5/27/22) @ 890.9983. My LSR was 1036. TPK-WI
891 AUSTRALIA Adelaide 7/27/23 0930 to 1050 UTC. A weak sometimes intermittent signal within WLS's USB. Peaked @ 0955 UTC about 10 dB's over the sideband level. Gone for good by 1040. The frequency was measured @ 891.0019 with the latest MWList post from exactly 2 years ago @ 891.002. My LSR was 1036. TPK-WI
891 AUSTRALIA Townsville 7/27/23 0930 to 1050 UTC. The signal was doing 10 dB's over WLS's USB level upon tuning in @ 0930.

657 SPAIN Madrid 7/9/23 0200 to 0500 UTC. A weak somewhat intermittent signal that never rose above the 650-660 sideband level. The signal first showed up @ 0205 UTC and was gone for good @ 0435 UTC. Its frequency was measured between 657.0051 and 657.0054 w/ a 1/9/23 MWList post of 657.0053. Madrid's sunrise was @ 0452 UTC. TPK-WI
657 SOUTH AFRICA Meyerton 0200 to 0500 UTC. A weak intermittent signal buried in the 650-660 sideband. The signal first showed up around 0355 UTC and lasted about 45 minutes until 0444 UTC. Its frequency was 657.0002 w/ a MWList post(12/31/20) of 657.0008. Meyerton's sunrise was @ 0456 UTC. With Madrid Spain accounted for, this is the only other TA station listed on 657 that would be coming in this late. TPK-WI
657 UNID TP D&Us (down and unders) 7/9/23 0930 to 1100 UTC. A signal doing about 20dBs o/ the sideband level was present upon tuning in @ 0930 UTC. Actually there were 2 carrier signals separated by no more than 1/10 of a hertz. The frequency was 657.0001. MWList has Wellington NZL, Byrock, Australia, and Tauranga NZL all w/in a tight range of 656.9997 to 656.9999. I'm guessing the station doing 20 dBs over was Wellington NZL w/ its 50 kwatts. The signals were finally gone 30 minutes past my LSR of 1020 UTC. TPK-WI

1107 unID 6/14/23 0349 UTC. A weak TA carrier came on the air @ 0349 UTC then was faded and gone within 7-8 minutes. Frequency was 1106.9998 . Possibly the Nigerian w/ a 0400 UTC start up time. MWList has nothing posted for a frequency offset for the Nigerian. TPK-WI
1107 unID 6/14/23 0230 to 0425 UTC. A TA signal waxing and waning from in the sideband din to 10 dBs over. Gone after 0425 UTC. Frequency was 1107.0088 w/ no frequency match @ MWList. Good chance it was one of 4 Spaniards. TPK-WI
1107 SPAIN Santander 6/14/23 0230 to 0500 UTC. A TA signal w/ long duration peaks to 15 dBs o/ the sideband level and sometimes reaching 20 dBs over. Faded and gone by 0440 UTC. This signal may have had audio if WTAM had not been coming in @ almost local signal strength. Frequency was 1106.9970 with a MWList post (2/16/18) of also 1106.9970. Santander's sunrise time was 0433 UTC. TPK-WI
1107 AUSTRALIA, Sydney 6/14/23 1000 to 1030 UTC. A lone TP signal peaking @ 10dBs over the sideband level upon tuning in @ 1000 UTC. The signal was faded and gone by 1020 UTC. The frequency was measured @ 1006.9999 w/ a MWList post ( 2/14/18 ) of 1006.9998. The sun was just starting to set over the only other 2 candidates, Japan and the Phillipines ,but their signal path is mostly over land ( trans-Alaskan ) which dims their chances of ever getting here. My LSR was 1011 UTC. TPK-WI

COMMENTS: Tuned into 738 this morning @ 0430 CDT to find 2 signals present. At this time of year and @ 0430 CDT the sources for TPs are somewhat restrictive. The sun has set over the down unders and the Pacific island nations but the western Pacific rim is still basking in the sun. There are 2 Aussies and 1 New Zealander listed for this frequency.
738 AUSTRALIA Grafton 5/30/23 0930 to 1042 UTC. Tentative. Signal strength varied from buried in the sideband noise to 15 dBs o/ the sideband level. Frequency was 738.0027 w/ the latest MWList post @ 738.0021 { 4/19/2022). Gone for good by 1042 UTC. My LSR was 1016 UTC. Grafton has 50 kilowatts of power while the other down unders are @ 5 kilowatts. TPK-WI
738 unID 5/30/23 0930 to 1042 UTC. The signal was mostly engulfed in the sideband noise but it did make one brief peak to 10 dB o/ the sideband level. Frequency was measured @ 738.0005 with MWList having the NZL station @ 737.9999 (5/20/2022) and nothing for the Aussie located @ Manjimup. The weak carrier was gone for good @ 1042 UTC.

Comment: I was targeting 1413 Thursday evening to see if I could detect Oman w/ a scheduled s/on @ 0030 UTC . There was no sign of them. However I essentially experienced the same kind of event I had 2 nights ago on 1431. I am somewhat skeptical that what I am seeing were long distance, grey-line propagation events but if they were - WOW! Tom
1413 UNID 3/16-17/23 2345 to 0040 UTC. 3 TA signals were present upon tuning in @ 2345, 1412.9988, 1412.9981, and 1412.9953. 1412.9953 was weak and buried in the 1410 USB mud but the other 2 were peaking almost 20 dBs over the USB level. At 0002 UTC a wide smeared signal showed up about 1412.9970, quickly peaked at 20 dBs over, then started to fade and was gone by 0009 UTC. If this was a grey-line event, 2 of the 9 chinese stations listed on 1413 have sunrises near 0002-0009 UTC, Hami and Ruoqiang. Hami's sunrise was @ 2355 UTC and Ruoqiang was @ 0016 UTC. Comilla, Bangladesh on this frequency had a sunrise of 0002 but their listed schedule sez they were off air @ the time. My local sunset was 2358 UTC. The 3 TA signals were most likely the 3 Spaniards listed on this frequency. TPK-WI

1431 DJIBOUTI, Djibouti 3/13-14/23 2330 to 0330 UTC. Carrier signal present upon tuning in @ 2330 UTC, 25 minutes before my local sunset. The signal was running 10 to 20 dBs above the 1430 USB level until about 0130 then started a gradual fade. Intermittent by 0305, gone by 0314 UTC. The frequency was holding steady @ 1431.0014. A frequency/fadeout-sunrise match. Latest MWList post(4-2-21) is 1431.0008 . Djibouti's sunrise was @ 0315 UTC. Note: Djibouti is the only TA listed on this frequency with any power-600 kilowatts. The next strongest station has only 350 watts. TPK-WI
1431 unID 3/13-14/23 2350 to 0024 UTC. A weak, widened, and smeared signal centered about 1431.0000 showed up around 2350, peaked quickly to 10-20 dB over the 1430 USB, drifting slowly higher in frequency while fading and was gone by 0024 UTC. A widen and smeared signal suggests a sunrise or sunset and there is one station listed on 1431 that qualifies, Bandarban, Bangladesh! Bandarban had a 0000 UTC sunrise. The 6 Chinese and 2 Thai stations on this frequency all had sunrises an hour or more before hand. The 0000 UTC sunrise and my 2355 UTC sunset also implies possible enhanced grey-line propagation.
