Grayland, Washington Dxpedition – Fall 2001

Yet again, we converged on Grayland from Wednesday, September 19th to Sunday the 23rd. This time we moved the date from our normal July 4th weekend so that we could get a taste of some different conditions and take advantage of the excellent fall conditions. It worked. If you compare this set of loggings with a lot of the previous years’ logs, there’s definitely a different set of stations.

***STARS OF THE SHOW***

Antennas

Three matched, terminated dual-wire Beverages aimed southwest, west, and northwest. Each antenna was 900 ft. long and either mounted on plastic 6 foot tomato (?) stakes or tree limbs with nothing better to do. All antennas were shared by all DX’ers via matching transformers, ARR preamps and passive splitters. Preamps were located at the antenna / cable junction, with splitting done inside.

DISTANCES

Here’s a little list of rough distances (in miles) from Washington state to various TP DX targets:

Hawaii 2700

Tahiti 4500

New Zealand 7300

South Korea 5000

Japan 4000 to 5000

China – Urumqui 6000

China – south 6200

China – Beijing 5200

Thailand 7500

Australia – NW 7200

Australia – SW 8000

Australia – W 9000

Vietnam 7200

Philippines 6800

Compare that to these distances from Boston to major TA DX targets:

London 3240

Paris 3440

Madrid 3440

Casablanca 3420

Norway 3400

Yugoslavia 4800

Saudi Arabia 6200

You can see why we hear Japan, Japan, and Japan. It’s a LONG way to a lot of those other places.

COMMENTS

[Guy Atkins]

Interesting propagation conditions prevailed during this DXpedition. More often than not we found very little directionality differences between the three antennas. I noticed that prior to local sunrise the normal directionality improved, but usually this was not the case. On most other coastal DXpeditions I've found that lack of directionality often occurs *during* the dawn enhancement period (presumably due to fluctuating arrival angles) rather than the other way around.

Conditions were predominantly Asian on mediumwave, with very little "down under" DX heard. I was disappointed not to hear my favorite South Pacific stations at better and more sustained levels-- 1017 Tonga, 891 Fiji, and 738 Tahiti. However, the variety of signals from elsewhere more than made up for the absence of these favorites.

Indonesian and Papua New Guinea stations on the tropical bands were

occasionally at impressive levels, although I would call the conditions

mostly average on shortwave.

DXers in attendance were Don Nelson, John Bryant, Walt Salmaniw, Phil

Bytheway, Bruce Portzer, Chuck Hutton, and myself. Compared to the others, my loggings from this trip are rather few in number. I look forward to reading John's published logs in particular... he seemed to be writing or typing furiously throughout the DXpedition!

This DXpedition report was made much easier for me with the use of Tom

Lackamp's excellent freeware program "B-Log". It has recently gone through major updates and is currently available as a stable beta version from Tom's web site:

[John Bryant]

The first night, UTC Friday SEP 20, was excellent DX conditions from 1100 to 1400 on the lower part of the band. Most loggings were from Japan, China and the Koreas. Most notable loggings, though, were 1557 Family Radio in EE from TAIWAN and Radio Mayak/Radio Rossii 576. Also somewhat unusual were a large number of NHK1 ststions from Japan, including several lower power outlets.

The second night, UTC Saturday SEP 21, was characterized with excellent DX only from 1100 to about 1230 and then only marginal conditions thereafter. The best frequencies had moved up the dial to the middle and upper segments of the band. Most notable logging was 1323, China Radio International's Russian Service, beamed to the Russian Far East from Urumchi, Xianjiang Province in Central Asia! Don Nelson also managed a brief logging of 864//3260, Madang, Papua New Guinea. He also focused on Hawaii after local dawn here in the Northwest, logging 8 of the more elusive Hawaiians.

The third night, UTC Sunday SEP 22, was very unusual. The middle period, characterized in previous nights by excellent DX from the Pacific and Japan, was limited to a handful of hets. Don Nelson was actually seen playing solitaire on his computer. A few lowband Hawaiians were the only MW DX until about an hour before sunrise. Then, suddenly, the band was alive with audio from modest and small-sized Japanese transmitters and the Big Guns of the Russian and Chinese MW Foreign Services.

The final evening, UTC SEP Monday 23, was also a very fractured DX session with good reception from Japan from about 1130 until 1245 followed by "the bottom dropping out." The final hour and a half was very sparse until just at dawn when the only Philippines station logged suddenly appeared on 1503.

All in all, the September 2001 Grayland DXpedition was our best medium wave DXpedition in about three years, with many new loggings for us all.

[Chuck Hutton]

It was a strange set of conditions. It wasn’t great for Chinese, Japanese, DU’s , or Oceanics. (“Oceanics” is a phrase that really doesn’t mean anything but it sounds more important than “island stations”.) Yet there were interesting things from each of those areas and some good catches.

The very high-latitude paths weren’t great so there was little chance at the exotic stuff like India. Don’t ask me to explain why a few of the Far East Russians were in well while many of the big guns were missing. Ditto Japan – the big guys weren’t so big at all. There were times when I was using 1503 to check NHK1 parallels, not 594! Of course, there were times when 594 was strong. 774 and 747 were never really strong either. In spite of that, Japan was heard on dozens and dozens of frequencies, including the really low powered frequencies like 1593.

Australia was kind of the same; 612 and 792 were OK but not great while some new stations were logged like 1062.

Oceania was fair to poor, but Don Nelson managed to catch Papua New Guinea on 864 which makes me jealous.

Hawaii was definitely in. 620 was local-like and 720 was real close to it. 790 was a new log for me and was a lot easier because it is now // to 620. I could have pulled it out without using the parallel, but it would have taken a bit of waiting. I may have had 1380 also but I couldn’t get anything definitive. The others I need (1060 and 1570) will have to wait for next time as I was busy elsewhere.

I’m pretty sure that there was something at one time or another on every single TP split frequency. I didn’t take the time to verify that, but if any were absent there were certainly just a few of them.

Unlike Guy, I had no complaints about the directivity of the Beverages. I often found Japan alone on one wire and Australia alone on another wire.

Best of show? For me, I guess that would be either the strong reception of Vietnam on 675 or Hawaii on 790 or Philippines on 1503.

Disappointment? Wasting time yet again at sunrise to phase out Japan 1134 in hopes of hearing the 1000 kW Indian from Calcutta. South Korea always spoils the show, with a little help from Australia or New Zealand (I’m not sure which) this time.

MYSTERIES THAT YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY HELP TO RESOLVE

531 Who is the pop-rock mx that several of us heard?

738 Bruce’s two stations with pips.

783 What is the format of the NZ station Samoan Capital Radio? If not pop mx, then the weak pop mx was probably one of the Aussies.

909 Who would run the tele-talk show Bruce heard?

1008 What a mix…. Who has // stations that produced echo?

1062 Any thoughts on which Aussie was being heard at which time? The unid oriental language also heard?

1161 Who is likely to be the weak DU heard just after sunrise?

1179 An interesting stn heard by Bruce, Chuck and maybe others too.

1215 No real strong possibilities as best I know.

576 RUSSIA R. Mayak/R. Rossii(?), Petropavlovsk, FE (presumed location) SEP 20 1330 to 1406 - Was stunned to hear the old Radio Moscow IS "Moscow Nights" on chimes as I tuned across 576 at 1330. The chimed version was followed by a brief orchestral version and then R. Mayak/R. Rossii programming continued in RR. Was a mixture of RR talk and pop tunes until 1400. At 1400, there were only three notes of the Moscow Nights chimes followed by an abrupt program change to the few bars of music that normally follow BBCs Big Ben and lead in to the BBC News in EE. This is EXACTLY what followed. The BBC news in EE was still going at 1406 when the signal faded abruptly due to local dawn here in the Pacific Northwest. Who knew? Also heard at 1346 on SEP 22. (Bryant-WA)

576 RUSSIA Petropavlovsk 09/22 1346 with a really nice signal noted after an alert from John Bryant. This guy is often heard at Grayland. In spite of the very good signal, I heard not a peep from 1008 or 1575 from that corner of Russia. (CH)

576 RUSSIA, R Mayak, 1329-1340 20-Sep, "Russian nights" theme on until 1330 then into Russian dialect. Unfortunately, there are 3 transmitters in Russia listed on this MW frequency.

620 HAWAII KIPA Hilo way, way on top and basically local-like 9/22 at 1130. It was as strong as any Hawaiian and was even heard on a Radio Shack TRF with no external antenna. It announces as “the Rainbow Network” and mentions being parallel with 790. Normally they also announce the synchronous transmitters also. (CH)

620 HAWAII KIPA, Naalehi 9/22/01 1141 //620 with music and "rainbow network" ID at 1151. (btw-WA)

657 UNID DU but who? Poor signal 9/23 1337 woman talking (seemingly in EE but I am not sure) then folk song and later folky flute music. Or so I think – it was that kind of music and QRM that make you think you are hearing one kind of music now and a different kind later. NZ is said to be gospel mx so this must be one of the Australians. (CH)

666 JAPAN JOBK NHK 1 Osaka SEP 20, 1305 to 1330 - Noted in parallel with other NHK 1 stations running special news account (in JJ) of America's War on Terrorism. Good signal. Also hrd SEP 21, 23. (Bryant-WA)

675 VIETNAM Hanoi 9/22 at various times from 1322 to 1406 with a nice signal, easily clear enough for a non-DXing Vietnamese colleague to listen to later. At the top of the hour there was a few seconds of chimes (possibly a short IS), 5 medium and 1 long pips, a nice ID as “This is a broadcast from the People’s Army Station”, and a minute or so of martial music that may have been an anthem. Quite clear. The listed “350 kw?” power in Bruce’s Pacific-Asian Log” seems fairly reasonable. Translation provided by Vietnamese native Duc Phan who could not understand how and why we had received this signal! This is of course Bruce’s unid below. In retrospect, our guess of “Chinese-like language but not Chinese” was reasonably close. (CH)

675 UNID, probably China or Taiwan, 1330-1341 9/22, in what sounded like a Chinese minority language (not Mandarin), mostly brief talks with a couple of distinctive Chinese musical riffs, good signal at times. Any ideas? Have recording available (bp WA)

729 CHINA, Nanchang, 1308 9/22 what sounded like news/feature program, back-to-back IDs as "Jiangxi Renmim Guangbo Diantai" by man & woman. Good signal, easily separated from 730 domestics (bp WA)

729 CHINA Nanchang 9/22 1308 after an alert from Bruce Portzer. Listed as 150 kw but either conditions were very good to that particular area or they run more power. They were no problem to separate from 730 and they were on top of the monkey chatter. (CH)

729 JAPAN JOCK NHK 1 Nagoya SEP 20, 1305 to 1330 - Noted in parallel with other NHK 1 stations running special news account (in JJ) of America's War on Terrorism. Fair signal. (Bryant-WA)
