Started listening again this morning at 1450UT, and conditions were considerably better than yesterday; it was worth sticking around until 1530. In fact, there were snippets of weak audio as 1700UT approached on 594, 936, 945, 972, and 1287. One new one at 1510UT: JOIP on 639 //594 was trading places for a bit with CNR-1. I'm not sure if this was my mystery station from before, as it didn't seem //594 then.
Again, for the most part, you had to be there when things faded up; I'm almost sure 648 was in for example, just always seemed to be fading down when I stopped by. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 558 HLQH //603 at 1456 594 JOAK; someone under, sounded CC, at 1457, but by the hour, only the CC pips were audible 639 CNR-1 //5030 (JOIP was heard when this faded down as mentioned above) 747 JOIB 774 JOUB 828 JOBB 936 Anhui at 1501, pretty sure of "Anhui RGD" mention by man 1566 HLAZ at 1530UT; my gosh this had a huge carrier by now; haven't heard at this level yet this season reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 279 R. Rossii 567 JOIK //594 576 Mayak //549 603 HLSA //558 873 JOGB //828; N. Korea under it at 1505 972 HLCA 1575 VoA at 1513; no sign of Farda today 1593 CNR-1 //5030 at 1526 not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 189 R. Rossii 549 Mayak //576 at 1458UT 612 JOLK //594 at 1508 657 N. Korea, then CC sounding talk 738 CC talk 945 mixture of CNR-1 and NHK-1 954 talk briefly at 1529 seemed JJ 963 RR sounding talk at 1518, presumably CRI 1134 KBS //972, but maybe others in there with the 1130 splash 1287 JOHR at 1528UT Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : 153 R. Rossii 531 JOQG //594 585 JOPG //594 666 JOBK //594 675 maybe two signals 702 hum &? 855 hum and maybe N. Korea //3320 1008 late 1098 1314 hum &? 1332 mx 1413 likely JOIF? 1422 messy, more than one signal? 1512 at 1528UT Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1161 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
