Although TP DX conditions were again depressed, I was pleased with the best level yet on the 1322 kHz station I've been following for a week. Below is what I heard this morning from 1235-1335 UTC via Perseus recordings...most were a 6 or 7 on the 10 scale, meaning threshold or poor audio. Some second-tier Japanese synchros heard, though.
594 JOAK Tokyo JJ 657 Rst. Mayak, Chita Russia - pres. with RR lang. 693 JOAB Tokyo JJ 738 Taiwan in CC, parallel 1143 at 1325. JJ synchros noted here at 1305 747 JOIB Sapporo JJ, parallel 774 774 JOUB Akita JJ, parallel 747 828 JOBB Osaka JJ 972 HLCA S. Korea in KK 1235-1335 1017 UNIDENTIFIED - perhaps JJ 1053 S. Korean jammer, good to vy. good 1235-1335; no sign of VONS N. Korea audio 1134 JOQR Tokyo 1143 Taiwan in CC, parallel 738 at 1325 1269 JOHW Obihiru JJ, presumed, parallel to 1287 (JOFM Esashi also relays 1287 per PAL, but it's much weaker at 1 kW; JOHW is a 5 kW outlet so more likely the one heard) 1287 JOHR Sapporo JJ 1322 UNIDENTIFIED - best morning yet for my mystery station, but still along way from providing identifying details. The signal popped up with audio at 1308-1314, playing a rather mournful, bass-heavy pop song that reminded me strongly of the dangdut style music from Indonesia (Malay, Arabic, and Hindustani influences). The signal faded until 1330-1335 when I realized I was hearing a live or recorded concert, with crowd noises, cheering, and band members talking to the audience between songs. Despite the best signal yet, the audio was still murky and I put the Edirol UA-25 sound card and Sennheiser headphones to good use, trying to get the best audio recovery possible. I'll be posting a MP3 recording of 1322 kHz on my blog later today. Hopefully someone else in the Pacific NW can hear this one better than I am hearing the station...it would be great to pinpoint that is is indeed DXAD in Marawi City, Philipines. 1422 JORF Yokohama JJ 1566 HLAZ Cheju South Korea in KK, never rose above a "6" 1575 Absent! Surprised to find only an occasional het, no audio from VOA Thailand 1593 UNID - possible JJ language here -------------------------- Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA www.perseus-sdr.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ 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
