Maybe Radio Record - ZYK522 Sao Paulo, Brazil ?
That time would be almost perfect for propagation..

I can somewhat tell the difference between Spanish and Portuguese. If I could hear the clip, and it is clear enough, I could tell. I will be away for about 4 days, but if somebody wants to PM me so they can send a clip in e-mail later, maybe I can fish it out.

That would be a great catch if that's what I heard, but I didn't record it.

I listened last night (2/21) and again I heard that station playing dance music on 1000AM. Alan mentioned that it could be Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Problem is I can't get a strong enough signal when the music stops to get an ID or even a clue as to where that station is.

Is it possible to line this up with a stream? Sao Paulo and/or XEOY?

Radio Record 1000 Sao Paulo stream:

Hello all,

Thanks to some nice guy slipping me a little present of a nasty virus. I will not be online sharing of anything
to anywhere EVER again..

Alan

 

[crainbebo]

So that means that this thread doesn't even count anymore? Goodness, I am very sorry for your virus Alan. People can do some BAD things online, that can destroy a computer. That's what happened with my Windows XP. Worked like a charm for a few months, then a bad click on a Google link and the BSOD popped up. Killed it. Still can't get it to work anymore.

Guys - now that the UK link is off forever, I would turn your eyes toward Mojave Desert, CA. I have been on the Ridgecrest, CA Global Tuners node MANY times, and have logged some great stuff! Check it out! Also, Grand Junction is OK, and when Albany, NY is on, get on it! It pops up only a few times a year for a few weeks at a time. Massive antenna with great performance. I've logged non-directional beacons as far as Greenland and the Cayman Islands.

Alan,

Sorry to hear about your virus issue. I've had problems myself in the past so I know how nasty it can be.
Thank you very much for the use of your receiver. I spent many wonderful hours DXing from your node and I thank you for sharing.

Best to you in the future!

I too will miss Alan's receiver (although I didn't use it since it moved to the other site). My most memorable moment was hearing a faint XEPE at around midnight or 1am PDT one day last October or thereabouts. I missed TOH, but matched audio (including Mexican PSA announcements) with my PL-398mp tuned to 1700 (a local - transmitter about 15.6 miles south) sitting next to me.

I'd actually like to see a good TP-specialized node from eastern Australia or northern New Zealand. Stations I'd expect to hear on a nightly basis include, but are not limited to: 1700 XEPE & KVNS, 1670 KHPY, 1610 Anguilla, 1580 KMIK & KBLA, 1540 KMPC, 1170 KCBQ, 1130 KSDO, 1070 KNX, 1020 KTNQ, 910 KECR, 760 KFMB, 720 KDWN, 640 KFI, and dozens of others. Basically, I'd expect nightly reception of just about every west-coast USA station that sends at least 10-15 kW ERP to the southwest, and frequent reception of high-band lower-power stations, like the 1 kW 1620-1700 stations. I know of someone in New Zealand that hears a few of the stations I've mentioned nightly year round using an ultralight and 100m wire antenna (or several-foot loop), so I'd expect a good node to soundly beat his reception.

I too would love to hear an Australian receiver with antenna aimed at North America. "DXER2000" used to post here from the Canberra area and he heard lots of signals from the west coast and even midwest.

My memorable moment was hearing 1900 watt WILS 1320 Lansing, MI, making it more than 3400 miles E across the ocean, and with a strong ID mentioning to "stay tuned to the capitol city on 1320 WILS".

Alan's node is back! Hope you guys can enjoy it. And no nasty viruses this time!

Tonight's reception was poor. WBBR 1130 and WCBS 880 in, WBBR much stronger. 750 CBGY-NF, 600 CBNA-NF, 590 VOCM-NF, 570 CFCB-NF w/ weak ID also noted. Rebeldes on 1180 and 1620, CBI 1140 Sydney NS also in briefly. Conditions were much better last week.

Last night, I had
1560 WFME New York (Family Radio)
1470 WLAM Lewiston, ME w/ TOH ID (Oldies)
1610 Caribbean Beacon Anguilla, Melissa Scott sermon
1290 UNID SSer - Believe there's one in Venezuela that is rather high-power.

Chris (cd637299 on WTFDA forums) and I confirmed Radio Capital from Lima, Peru on 1470 khz, under WLAM on 12/07/15 at 0400z. Weak with SS ID, but confirmed! That's well over 6,000 miles from the QTH. Also heard WOPG-1460 Albany NY (5kw), 1430 CHKT Mississagua, 1050 NYC, etc. on the same night.

Thanks for letting us know Crainbebo and thanks Alan for bringing it back.

CHIN-1540 Toronto confirmed on Oldtimer's node // tunein stream, 0115 GMT 12/14/15.
Also hearing a very strong 650 KNR Greenland, 1660 WWRU Jersey City, and 930 CJYQ St. Johns. KNR is new to my log from the Northern Ireland GT. Using a KAZ antenna beaming west towards North America.

[radioman148]

Had a chance to listen for a short time last night. The east coast & Caribbean were coming in, but nothing from the midwest. WBBR and WWKB sounded like locals. Also, WINS was over CFRB. A few other Canadians & Cubans were coming through. Absolutely nothing from the midwest when I listened around 0530 GMT.

 

[crainbebo]

Checked around 0630 GMT and heard 1100 WTAM Cleveland, 570 Radio Reloj, 940 XEQ Mexico City, and a few regionals. 1330 WRCA MA, 1320 CJMR ON, 1250 CJYE ON and an unid Sports talker on 970 for a bit. Plus obviously the usual signal from WBBR.
