TPK-WI, Tom Kirk, Milwaukee, WI UTC
RFspace Cloud IQ sdr w/ about 140 feet of wire strung thru the backyard
909 UNID TA 8/4/24 0200 to 0330 UTC. I intentionally parked the SDR on 909 Sat. nite to see if the radio could detect the 0300 UTC sign on of the VOA Botswana station. I had no such luck. There was, however, a lone TA signal on 909.0002 the entire time running weak to maybe 10 dBs over 910's LSB level. This could be one of the more powerful BBC Radio 5 Live synchros, the Spaniard, or the Algerian. MWList has Palma, Spain on 909.0002 but the post is old (from 2014). TPK-WI
909 NEW ZEALAND, Hawke's Bay 8/4/24 0800 to 1115 UTC. A mostly weak, intermittent signal early but strengthening to a weak steady signal sometimes peaking to 10 dBs o/ the 910 LSB level. Faded and gone for good by 1055 UTC. My LSR was 1046 UTC. The signal's frequency was 908.9999 w/ the latest MWList post (4/19/24) @ 909.0000. The New Zealand station is the only one listed on MWList that could be showing up this early @ 0800 UTC. There are no Aussies on this frequency and the eastern Asian stations were still basking in sunshine. TPK-WI

Comment: Around 0900 UTC this AM I couldn't find any signs of any TP dx activity except a very weak signal on 1017. 1575, 657, 1422, 1008 and 1503 were all tried. I left the radio on 1008 and when I came back @ 0950 UTC there was a nice strong signal coming in. Tom
1008 NEW ZEALAND Tauranga 7/3/24 0950 to 1115 UTC. A steady strong signal doing 10-15 dB's o/ 1010's LSB level. Started to fade after 1015 or so, became weak and intermittent by 1033 but lingered really long. It was finally gone by 1107 UTC! My LSR was 1017 UTC. Its frequency was measured @ 1007.9999 w/ MWList's latest post (3/8/23) @ 1007.9997. TPK-WI
1008 AUSTRALIA Brisbane 7/3/24 0950 to 1115 UTC. A weak broken signal that never rose above the 1010 LSB level. It first showed up @ 1004 and was gone by 1013 UTC. My LSR was 1017 UTC. Its frequency was 1007.9975 w/MWList having them in the range of 1007.9969 to 1007.9978 from 2010 to 2021 (year of the latest post). TPK-WI
