[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 10 March 2015

[Nigel Pimblett]

   What a difference a day makes.  After hearing only one TP yesterday, 
today ranks as the best day of 2015 here in southern Alberta.  Solid 
signals from the Japanese big guns for lengthy periods, and some 
surprising signals higher in the band.   The biggest surprise was the 
Australian X-band station on 1629, which had my best Aussie X-band 
signal of the entire season.  For some reason Brisvaani on 1701, 
normally my best X-bander, didn't do much today.

594     JOAK, Japan     Already in audio at 1215, reached good
                        levels later, easily cutting through the IBOC
                        background.

693     JOAB, Japan     Already in audio at 1215.  Good level by 1258
                        in spite of louder than normal 690 splatter.

702     ABC Sydney, AUSTRALIA   Barely a carrier at 1300, but pr-fr
                        with ABC news by 1302.

747     JOIB, Japan     No audio at 1309, but soon came up with man in
                        Japanese at 1317.

774     JOUB, Japan     First up to audio level around 1235, and good
                        by 1310.

828     JOBB, Japan     Traces of audio first noted at 1236, up to fair
                        by 1310.

846     NHK1, Japan     Big carrier, but only definite audio was the
                        NHK pips at 1300.

873     JOGB, Japan     Poor, with man and woman conversing in English
                        lesson at 1304.

891     JOHK, Japan     Weak, with talk by woman at 1332, //594.

972     HLCA, Korea     Mostly just a strong carrier, but had a few
                        minutes of audio with music and talk by woman
                        around 1323.

1179    JOOR, Japan     Conversation in Japanese by man and woman at
                        1253.
        
1269    unID            Weak audio for a minute or so, with traces of
                        woman talking at 1324.  About 30 Hz high.

1287    JOHR, Japan     Woman speaking in Japanese at 1305.

1296    unID            Traces of audio, with music at 1324

1314    JOUF, Japan     Weak, but definitely Japanese, with woman
                        talking at 1302.

1449    unID            Weak audio with man talking at 1329.

1548    4QD, Australia  Aussie-accented talk by a man through the 1550
                        splatter.

1566    HLAZ, Korea     Nothing at 1215, but noted with fair audio by
                        1300, and good by 1320.

1575    VOA, Thailand   First reached audio around 1325, with the ID
                         only poor at 1330.

1593    unID            Traces of audio around 1316.

1611    unID            Pop music noted at 1329, with bits of talk in
                        the background, possibly from a second statoion.

1628.94 unID, Australia    English talk between man and woman.  Seemed
                        to be a Christian station judging by the
                        content of the discussion.  Would have been
                        100% copy at times if not for the 1630
                        splatter.

Carriers everywhere, but the strongest were:
531,567,576,675,801,864,909,972,1242,1278,1332,1386,1404,1422,1584,1602
