Listened between 13:20 and 14:15 UTC and immediately noticed that there was no continuation of the excellent TA conditions of last night. Things were down right poor early on, and I've dumped all of those SDR files as not worth listening to. However, by 14:00 things really picked up and became quite good, as John noticed (born with a silver bullet, as he didn't bother waking up too early today!). SF 69, A0, K1. "6" unless otherwise noted:

Korea 666: RR at 8 level 13:40 //576. Nice to hear this one. Presumably Komsomolsk as it's Mayak. 675: 8 level Vietnamese 693: JJ at 7 level. Take out CBU and it would be a 9. 702: 6 level hummm 720: CNR2 at 7 738: 7 early, then 9 level CC at 14:05 and several cochannels 747: 8 level (seems the weakest of the 1st tier NHK2 stations this season) 774: JJ at 9 at 13;44 801: 6 with wobbly N.K as well 14;07 819: North Korea at 8 828: 8 level JJ and cochannel 837, 846 855: North Korea at 7 864 873: 7 level JJ 882, 891, 918, 936 963: 7 level at 13;50, but 9 by 14;08 CRI RR 972: 7 level early then 8 by 14:08 981, 1008 1017: 7 early, then 9 level at 14:09 1098: 7 level 14:10 1116 1134: 7 level 13:52 1161 1242: nothing earlier, then 8.5 level at 14:11 JJ 1251, 1269 1287: 8 level JJ at 13:54 1557 1566: 8 level HLAZ at 13;56 1575: 9 level VOA X-band: nil That's it for today, folks. Let's hope that the TAs sneak in tonight again! ....Walt _______________________________________________ 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
