Well, definitely a step down from yesterday. Started listening at 1350UT, and although things became more readable around 1415 (splatter fading down plus some real signal strength increase), the sheer volume of channels with signals was down, as was overall strength, and nothing too unusual was heard. One thing of interest is that at 1618UT, there was still weak audio on 1287, so winter is coming. (local sunrise is 1435UT)
pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 279 R. Rosii 594 JOAK 747 JOIB but not until 1420UT 774 JOUB 828 JOBB but only briefly, usually at a lower level this morning 1287 JOHR, actually not really strong, but quite clear, 1436UT 1575 VoA reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 567 JOIK //594 at 1406 603 HLSA seemed// 558 but it was the weaker station; the other had music, so no idea 666 JOBK //594, had a couple of pretty good peaks 675 Vietnam //weaker 5975 at 1415 702 hum , N. Korea //2850, NHK2 under 738 mx at 1435UT 945 CNR-1 at 1427 954 JOKR w/JJ talk at 1439 972 HLCA, big carrier not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 153//189 R. Rossii 531 JOQG//594 558 usual mix JJ/KK 639 CNR1, 2 or 3 second delay from 5030 657 hum and N. Korea 936 CC 846 //594 at 1423, so NHK1 synchros, but trading places w/possible KBS station as well, so tough copy 1161 at 1410, but mx, so no hope of ID 1269 briefly at this level, and seemed //1287, but quickly gone, so not quite a logging 1377 CNR1 1503 JOUK //594 1512 sounded like CC talk at 1419UT 1566 HLAZ presumed w/big carrier Burbles in the splatter and noise: 765 837 CC? 855 mostly hum 873 w/hum, so N. Korea in there somewhere 891 pretty sure this talk was //594 at 1430UT, if so, JOHK. A great catch 9 kHz from local CKMO-900 1008 1098 (Asiatic bearing) 1143 CC? 1215 CC? 1386 maybe a CC / JJ mix? Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1251 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
