Oregon Cliff DXpedition-- South Pacific UnID's (and Mysteries)
|
Hello All,
As usual during a major ocean beach DXpedition, several mystery South Pacific DX stations were received during the recent Ultralight radio sessions on the 400 foot "Rockwork 4" Cliff on Oregon's ocean coast. Unlike most of the typical mystery stations, though, most of these were received at fairly vibrant levels. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in identifying these UnID stations, either by Ultralight radio DXers in Australia or New Zealand, or by TP-DXing experts like Bruce, Chuck or Patrick here in the Northwest. 531- UnID Australian This rock music station was received at a strong level at 1311 UTC on 8-22, but the only identity clue seems to be a very brief slogan in between the two songs. 531-PI in New Zealand is received weakly during the recording, indicating that the station is definitely Australian. Not too much to go on, but any help from down under? http://www.mediafire.com/?4xqj1ehqqqdk8s2 639-UnID Australian Mixing with New Zealand's 639 Radio National (2 kW) station throughout the DXpedition was this classic pop music station at a pretty vibrant level. The station was isolated during the following recording at 1339Z on 8-24: http://www.mediafire.com/?rgmmgdwcyg9pcdb The RNZ relay (// 567, with voice) is heard mixing with the UnID music station during the following recording: http://www.mediafire.com/?ez2cb5rqwz3l5vh The 638-RNZ relay all by itself is heard in the following recording: http://www.mediafire.com/?xh0a3lburm0wb47 Does someone know if 2HC in Coff's Harbour (or some other Aussie station) plays this type of music? 666 kHz This frequency was a real circus throughout the DXpedition. In the following recording on 8-24 there are two English voices, one female (presumed ABC in Canberra) and one male, but no French that I can make out. Can anyone suggest the identity of the male-voiced English station in the mix? http://www.mediafire.com/?6imldkb1dcfoqt7 This is another 666 recording made on 8-21, hopefully with enough evidence to dig out a few clues: http://www.mediafire.com/?afi1itbl4354f4e 936-UnID-DU This bizarre music was received at a vibrant level at 1341 on 8-21 all by itself. The Japanese-sounding music seems strange for a DU station, and there was absolutely no propagation to Asia at the time. Does anyone know if the format would fit either 4PB, or Radio Supremo? http://www.mediafire.com/?klxh8y3qkvs7cd1 1503-UnID-DU Unlike the recording last month at Cape Perpetua, this one is clearly English-- but still no ID's. Can anyone suggest the identity, perhaps by matching voices or the format? http://www.mediafire.com/?j12baam43b3xxzx Thanks very much for any and all assistance! 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) |

For 531, it could be any of these stations, the recording makes it a bit hard to tell. Frequency : 531 Callsign : 3GG Notes : [area] Warragul [purpose] Commercial [power] 5000 [site] Radio 3GG AM Array Midpoint Resonate Bcing Site Brandy Ck & Old Sale Rds 1.5km WSW of BULN BULN [state] VIC Frequency : 531 Callsign : 2PM Notes : [area] Kempsey [purpose] Commercial [power] 5000 [site] Radio 2PM AM Array Midpoint Pacific Hwy 2 km S of SOUTH KEMPSEY [state] NSW Frequency : 531 Callsign : 4KZ Notes : [area] Innisfail [purpose] Commercial [power] 5000 [site] Broadcast Site 3 km East of INNISFAIL [state] QLD For 639, I think it is 2HC. Frequency : 639 Callsign : 2HC Notes : [area] Coffs Harbour [purpose] Commercial [power] 5000 [site] Radio 2HC AM Array Midpoint Yellow Rock Rd 3km SE of RALEIGH [state] NSW For 666, these are the possible suspects. Based on the mixing it could be either of the QLD stations. Frequency : 666 Callsign : 2CN Notes : [area] Canberra [purpose] National [power] 5000 [site] Main AM Mast Broadcast Australia Site Cnr Barton Hwy and Bellenden St GUNGAHLIN [state] ACT Frequency : 666 Callsign : 4CC Notes : [area] Biloela [purpose] Commercial [power] 2000 [site] Radio 4CC AM Array Midpoint Prime Radio Site Burnett Hwy 2.4km WNW of BILOELA [state] QLD Frequency : 666 Callsign : 4LM Notes : [area] Mount Isa [purpose] Commercial [power] 2000 [site] Radio 4LM AM Mast Macquarie Reg Radio Site Abel Smith Drv PIONEER [state] QLD I hope this has helped.

I will have a more closer listen in the next couple of days 936 4PB at night will either run parliament until sometimes 0900z, if parliament is not sitting then they normally relay BBC with local news breaks around the half hour and hour. Re 531 - will need to have a closer listen to that one. I hear the very brief announcement. Regards Tony VK2IC On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 6:55 AM, <D1028Gary@...> wrote:

Thank you both very much for your kind assistance in listening to the MP3's, and giving your suggestions on the identity of the Unidentified stations! Your help is greatly appreciated, and will be important in drafting the final logging information for the DXpedition. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) -----Original Message-----

531 sounds like 2PM Port Macquarie and Kempsie are on the NSW mid coast -- It romps into Brisbane all the time.
