<< 936 had an EE sound to it but looped Asia >> Hi Nick, 936 kHz (presumed Anhui, China) was coming at a good level here around 1405 with a speech in English, apparently by someone discussing his immigration and citizenship in China. It was unusual to hear an English speech on a Chinese station, but that station often seems to play American classic pop music during the same general time period (right after 1400), for some weird reason. 73, Gary In a message dated 10/6/2010 8:07:00 P.M.

Sorry to be missing in action here....some of it is indeed "inaction"...a field trip at work, a DXpedition that I've hardly begun to review, and now antenna and computer problems all at the same time as I'm starting a rather demanding work related course....but I did get a little listening in this morning. As others have noted, 1400UT seems to be a better time to tune in, as the domestic splatter starts to fade. Before then, even stronger signals are struggling. I continue to be amazed at all the Chinese being reported further south of here. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK 603 HLSA //558 774 JOUB reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 747 JOIB 828 JOBB 972 HLCA at 1407UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 558 HLQH //603 567 JOIK //594 837 CC talk 1566 HLAZ 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) : 612 EE sound to talk; 4QR 657 hum and talk; N. Korea? 711 HLKA? 756 echoey CC sound later on (1410UT) 855 hum and talk; N. Korea? 936 had an EE sound to it but looped Asia 1053 sounded like the KK jammer 1134 JOQR? 1242 JOLF? 1287 JOHR? 1575 VoA? Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1098 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 _______________________________________________ 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
