RFSpace Cloud-IQ sdr w/ about 160 feet of wire strung thru the backyard
Comments: Friday night I set the sdr to a random frequency of 1404 to see if any TAs or TPs were around. There were no signs of any TA activity. I don’t use the sdr’s record mode but instead stick around the sdr in real time. Anyway, I fell asleep after midnite but woke up Saturday AM to see a TP fade away after my LSR. So I gave 1404 another try this Sunday AM and this is what I came across. Tom
1404 New Zealand, Invercargill 8/1/21 0637 to 1107 UTC. Weak signal mostly in the noise but had one peak about 10 dBs above the noise. Faded and gone by 1107 UTC. At 0637 UTC NZL is the only TP that is past its sunset. The next sunset would be Parkes, Australia @ 0729. The frequency was 1404.0028. TPK-WI
1404 Australia, Busselton 8/1/21 0940 to 1050 UTC. An intermittent ghost in the noise that was first detected @ 0940. Became more steady by 1029. Faded and gone by 1050. A frequency and sunset match. Busselton's sunset was @ 0939 UTC. The frequency measured was 1403.9987 w/ a MWList post(2/2/18) of 1403.9988. TPK-WI
1404 unID TP 8/1/21 1019 to 1055 UTC. First detected as a widening smeared signal very close to NZL on 1404.0028. The smeared signal peaked about 10 dB above the noise @ 1048 before fading and gone @ 1055 UTC. Its frequency was 1404.0036. There were 2 stations past their sunsets @ 1019 that were unaccounted for, Parkes, Australia(0729 UTC) and Dili,Timor-Leste(0936 UTC). Parkes has a MWList post(2/14/18) of 1403.9864. By 1055 the sun had also set over Japan Korea, and Taiwan but these signals are handicapped by being trans-Alaskan. Timor-Leste has a trans-Pacific signal path. Timor-Leste??!! TPK-WI

RFSpace Cloud-IQ sdr w/ about 160 feet of wire strung thru the backyard
Comments: Last night I parked the sdr on 1602 @ 0150 UTC and let it sit there till 1100 UTC. TAs from Spain were coming in until just past midnight(CDT) but there was no sign of any morning TP activity. Tom
1602 Spain, city undetermined, 7/30/21 0153 to 0524 UTC. A weak signal in the noise @ 0153 but peaked @ 20 dBs o/ the noise by 0450. Faded and gone by 0524.The 4 Spaniards on this frequency were the only stations left on 1602 that hadn't experiencing sunrises by 0400. The problem is that all 4 have sunrises in the range of 0502 to 0515 UTC. The station's frequency was drifting a little in the range of 1601.9936 to 1601.9939. MWList's 10 year old post for Linares, Spain @ 1601.994 was helpful but untrustworthy. There were also signs that a possible 2nd station was present within the same frequency range. TPK-WI
1602 Spain, Onteniente 7/30/21 0228 to 0501 UTC. A weak signal that never rose above the noise. Faded and gone by 0501. A frequency and sunrise match. Onteniente's sunrise was 0502 UTC with a MWList(7/23/20) offset of 1601.991. The frequency was drifting in the range from 1601.9910 to 1601.9913. TPK-WI
1602 Spain, city undetermined, 7/30/21 0400 to 0505 UTC. A weak signal that never rose above the noise. Faded and gone by 0505. Frequency was 1602.0071. Maybe Segovia Spain? TPK-WI

Comment: I have been trying for TA dx for about the last week and finding very little coming in except a small hint of possible UK stations. The several times I tried for the Algerian on 891 there was nothing there. There are TP signals from DU’ers coming in in the AM however. All TAs and TPs detected have no audio but are being seen on the spectral and waterfall displays. Tom
1053 United Kingdom, Droitwich 7/26/21 0300 to 0435 UTC. A signal w/o audio peaking about 12 dBs above the noise level. Faded and gone by 0435 UTC. The frequency of 1052.9982 closely matches the 4/3/21 MWList post of 1052.9979. Droitwich's LSR was 0420 UTC. TPK-WI
1053 unID TA 7/26/21 0300 to 0435 UTC. A weak signal that never rose above the noise. Faded and gone by 0435 UTC. The fade out time strongly suggests a UK station but the 2 Spaniard stations with sunrises of 0455 and 0452 UTC can't be ruled out. Frequency was 1053.0008. TPK-WI
1008 New Zealand, Tauranga 7/26/21 0543 to 0600, 0950 to 1105 UTC. Tuned in @ 0543 and found a steady signal in the noise that peaked @ maybe a few dBs above the noise. The signal was still present @ 0950 and became faded and gone by 1105 UTC. The only TP this could be @ 0543 is the NZLander. Tauranga's sunset time was 0524 UTC. All the other TPs were still in the daylight. Frequency of 1008.0000 is a close match to the MWList 2/26/17 post of 1007.9997. TPK-WI
1008 Australia, Brisbane 7/26/21 0950 to 1050 UTC. Tentative. A weak signal in the noise that was not present from 0543 to 0600 UTC. Gone for good @ 1050 UTC. Brisbane, Australia @ 10 kW is the most likely. The only other 2 options are the 300 watt Canberra Aussie and the 5kW Launceston, Tasmania station. The frequency of 1007.9973 is a close match to an old MWList(12/30/16) post of 1007.9969. TPK-WI
1008 unID TP 7/26/21 1030 UTC. A transient ghost showed up in the noise for a few minutes. Maybe not a TP but its frequency of 1007.9938 hints at Launceston, Tasmania with its 3/20/17 MWList post of 1007.9943. TPK-WI

Wed 14 Jul at 15.19 EDT: An unid at 99.7, poor with OM Speaking. Lots of QSB, as it clashed with WUGN Midland, MI, but I was able to determine he was not speaking EE. I don't think he was speaking FF either. I'm wondering if it may have been a First Nations station from somewhere in Quebec, though at the time I mostly had Manitoba in, and it seemed to be after the cloud favoring Quebec gave out. This was quickly lost to WUGN. Nothing else seemed to fit.

1215 United Kingdom, Absolute Radio synchros, 7/12/21 0135 to 0410 UTC. A signal w/ no audio running 10-20 dBs above the noise. Started to fade and smear by 0327, intermittent by 0345, gone by 0410 UTC. Frequency of 1215.0001 was a close match to all the synchros. The fade-out time favors the eastern UK.

There is not much this could be. The 2kw Mauritius station matches the frequency and had a sunrise time of 0246 UTC. AL- Qusayr Egypt on the Red Sea coast had a 0258 sunrise but has a scheduled start time of 0415 UTC. The Italian RAI Radio 1 has a frequency match but a start time of 0500 UTC.

Friday's Es were well worth missing last week's Es for work well worth it. I think it was one of very few openings that were entirely from Canada; most Es openings to Canada usually include at least a couple from the US; but this one, nothing at all came from the US! I don't think I ever remember having that many FF stations in at one sitting, either. Definitely one for the record books here, especially with that eighteen watt catch.

1180 WGAB IN Newburgh 6/23 2200 to 2230 CDT. Inaudible to fair mixing w/ WHAM. Contemporary Christian songs // to the streema webcast. On day power. 1179.9853. TPK-WI
1180 unID 6/24/21 0300 to 0306 UTC. A steady signal about 15 dBs above the noise went off the air at 0306. No audio detected. I suspect a central or south American but only CX118 in Uruguay was found listed with a 0300 UTC sign off . 1179.9598. TPK-WI
1179 Mozambique, Quelimane 6/24/21 0330 to 0356 UTC. A weak intermittent signal not rising above the noise.
Mozambique seems really far fetched but things matched up. The frequency measured of 1178.9992 was almost the same as a 12/31/20 MWList post of 1178.9990. The signal was gone for good by 0356 . The Quelimane sunrise time was 0402 UTC. MWList has a sign on time of 0250 UTC. TPK-WI
1179 unID TA 6/24/21 0330 to 0356 UTC. A weak intermittent signal not rising above the noise. Faded and gone by 0356 UTC. Frequency was 1178.9960. A big mystery cuz nothing matches up. The 100 watt Holland station? TPK-WI
1179 Spain 6/24/21 0330 to 0435 UTC. A signal sometimes 10 dBs above the noise was faded and gone by 0435 UTC. Frequency was 1178.9984. This could be either of the 2 SER network Spaniards, maybe both. Valencia was listed as 1178.9981 (3/30/21) and had a sunrise of 0436 UTC. Logrono was listed as 1178.998 (3/27/20) and had a sunrise of 0433 UTC. TPK-WI
1179 Canary Islands, Santa Cruz de Tenerife 6/24/21 0330 to 0556 UTC. The signal was mostly in the noise and intermittent before 0426. After 0426 it strengthened to a few dBs above the noise before fading and gone by 0556 UTC. Santa Cruz de Tenerife's sunrise was 0608 UTC. The frequency was 1178.9935 w/ a MWList 2/26/17 post of 1178.9949. The late TA fade-out of 0556 can only be the Canary Islands. Every thing else is way past its sunrise time. TPK-WI
1179 New Zealand, Auckland 6/24/21 0526 to 0600 UTC, 0900 to 1030 UTC. A lone, weak intermittent signal started showing up @ 0526 UTC. After napping, I came back @ 0900 to find the lone signal a little stronger and sometimes just above the noise. The freq. was stable @ 1178.9998. By 1030 UTC it was faded and gone for good.
