Quite poor, and very erratic morning. Listened on and off from 1440 to past 1600UT. There seemed to be signs of DU signals as well as the usual Asiatics, most obviously with EE inflected talk under JOUB-774, posssibly 3LO. Interestingly, NHK2 stations signed off at 1500UT this morning, not the 1540 or 1600 listed. Carriers were left on. (Perhaps there was some early new year's celebration in the studio)
pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 774 JOUB at 1503UT s/off chimes 828 JOBB at same time as above; both these were always poorer than this, and 828 sometimes inaudible reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 1287 JOHR at 1552UT only not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 747 JOIB at 1501UT, s/off 945 CNR1 //5030 at 1535, not before (any audio heard before didn't seem //5030) 972 HLCA at 1457UT , big carrier Burbles in the splatter and noise: 594 JOAK likely 639 Fiji per direction finding 702 DU? perhaps EE inflected talk...might have been //774 (after JOUB s/off), if so, 2BL 954 likely JOKR at 1554UT 1035 seemed DU direction Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 279, 567, 612 DU, 738 DU, 855 w/hum, 918, 1116 (Asiatic direction, not DU), 1188, 1269, 1566 best wishes, Nick ***************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
