Re: [IRCA] 1566 off this morning

[Mauno Ritola]

That's right: I checked some older files and seems that FEBC Chinese has 
dropped religious English language lesson, that used to be between 
1730-1830. Seems they are also on 1566.000 kHz instead of former .003. 
They have a short break also earlier at 1830, when they switched from 
265 to 352°.

Nick, as usual difficult Internet access.  HLAZ is definitely off

really good morning noted since Saturday Walt

the upper band.  How was it in Masset?

Just in case you were looking for HLAZ 1566, they were actually absent
before 17:00 today.  First time I ever missed them.  Back on when 
rechecked

an hour later.  73,  Walt. (Masset)

Re: [IRCA] What Happened to Houston's Disney Station - KMIC 1590?

[James Niven]

Stephen,

According to Radio Insight dated 11/04/2014:

"Radio Disney has sold off the first of its pending 23 divestitures as it
sells 1590 KMIC Houston to DAIJ Media for $3.2 million.

The buyer, headed by Rafael and Ruben Villarreal, owns four other AMs and
one FM translator in the Houston market: 880 KJOZ Conroe, 980 KQUE
Rosenburg, 1380 KRCM Shenandoah, and 1460 KBRZ/95.1 K236AR Missouri City.
DAIJ Media also owns three LPTV's, while the Villarreal brothers are also
the principal owners of five non-commercial FM's under the Aleluya
Broadcasting Network umbrella."

I see on StationIntel.com, KMIC is silent at present. I think we will see
Spanish Religion coming very soon!!

Okay, so I admit my being slow on the draw on this, but I've just now
noticed the past 3 nights that KMIC 1590 has not been heard at my QTH in SE
Houston.

I knew they were facing possible sale, but I haven't seen or heard anything
about that happening.

Did they allow their license to expire? Did they just go dark? Inquiring
minds want to know.

[IRCA] Interesting TP from Arizona this morning

[Brian Rachford]

Had audio on 1566, 1593, and probably 1557 with my 6-foot tuned loop (the
23-foot vertical and phaser weren't helping).  May have had a carrier on
1242.  Enough going on that I will need to check the I/Q recording.  (I
rarely do I/Q recordings in the first place with the relatively narrow
bandwidth of my tuned system.)  Nothing on the low end like 747 or 774 the
times I checked.  Ended pretty much right at local sunset at 1434 UT.

[IRCA] TP DX, yes, really

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Walt's conditions seem to have moved down south overnight.   It 
sounds like October on the band this morning at 1445UT, not just the 
NHK powerhouses, powerhousing, but things like Japanese talk on 1179...


That's going to be one interesting recording.

at 1618UT, 972 is still quite readable in Victoria.  10 to 15 dB 
stronger than 970, my gosh.   594 weaker, but still quite 
readable.   Hang in there Dennissome of us have to go to work, hi.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 1-22

[d1028gary]

Hello All, 
  
Thanks to Dennis for his lengthy TP-DXing report from Kalama. 
  
As luck would have it, I was unable to chase Asian DX this morning because of 
appointments at 1530 and 1545 UTC. Before leaving the house, however, I noticed 
that conditions were fairly good around 1430, so I set up the 15" FSL antenna, 
CC Skywave Ultralight and MP3 recorder in the back yard, tuned to 1566 kHz 
(which I thought had the best chance of strong TP reception). At the MP3 
recorder's 1509 start time 1566-HLAZ had a fair signal in and out, as did 
1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1. While I was gone there was no chance to check out TP-DX 
on the low and middle bands, but 1566-HLAZ came through with good signals off 
and on from 1515-1550 with its Chinese Christian service. As for all the other 
DX that I missed, well, tomorrow is another day :-) 
  
1566  HLAZ  Jeju, S. Korea   Good strength Chinese Christian music in and out 
at 1538 
http://www.mediafire.com/listen/e278d81ibdo4y57/1566-HLAZ-1538z012215CCSW.MP3

[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, January 15-22, 2015

[Glenn Hauser via IRCA]

These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also 
VHF/UHF, sometimes utility, ham, which may be found in several archives without 
much delay, such as  
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and 
publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open 
access:
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page30

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal 
antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as 
specified

** CUBA [and non]. 530, Jan 16 at 0440-0455, enjoying the music from R. 
Enciclopedia, approaching Enid from OKC on caradio, and no sign of ``K530AM`` 
Vance AFB TIS on 530, even in downtown Enid. The thing has been getting weaker 
and weaker with its endless useless loops of irrelevant PSAs such as what to do 
in a hurricane. Had been hard to hear even in the daytime; solar powered? Cuban 
is playing knockoff instrumentals of ``I`ll Only Love You``, ``Whiter Shade of 
Pale``, etc., with soft-spoken YL DJ leading up to midnight. So comforting 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1757, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 640, Jan 17 at 0241, best signal from E/W in full null of Okie SSE, 
rapid national Mexican news in Spanish referring to Iguala, CNDH, whales, with 
stingers; 0243 music bit, swishes, 0245 interview about violence toward women. 
No doubt it`s XEJUA in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, listed by IRCA as with Milenio 
TV audio simulcast, 5 kW daytimer. Cantú agrees on daytime, nombre as BM Radio, 
which is a major group in the state. So when do they sign off? WRTH shows power 
as 5 without a d, implying it is really full-time. During this, hardly any KFI 
to be heard underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 660, Jan 17 at 0247, live Spanish coverage of a SBG, looping NE/SW, 
crowd roars, announcer has to compete with loud PA from the venue; 0247 
mentions ``Dorados de Chihuahua`` which is enough for me to conclude it`s XEACB 
in Ciudad Delicias, 3/1 kW per IRCA, breaking from otherwise ROMantic music 
format; Cantú agrees on power but WRTH 2015 shows 5 kW fulltime.

However, somewhat stale Wikipedia entries indicate Dorados de Chihuahua were 
both a baseball and a basketball team, but both were going to move elsewhere 
out of state. However2, further searching to latinbasket.com indicates this 
name is still active as BKB in Chih and I suppose even in Mexico, baloncesto is 
more likely than béisbol in January (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Quick check of regular sunrise-skip XEs, Jan 22 at 1340-1345 in case 
some are lost to the FM transition: definitely still 650 XETNT with 6:40 TC and 
``agenda de hoy``; 730 XEHB with joint ID for 107.1 FM; presumed 870 XETAR with 
announcements in Spanish; and 710 XEDP, Spanish not off-frequency (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 900, Jan 19 at 0632, YL jazz singer in English dominates, loops toward 
Cuba, and soon confirmed as such by // 890 with WLS nulled. So both are R. 
Progreso, but 900 is much stronger. So how do we explain this? 890 is 
WRTH-listed as 200 kW in Ciego de Ávila, while 900 is only 50 kW in further 
Holguín. It would be nice to know about Cuban MW direxional patterns, if any. 
Is there any source for such info? Don`t bother asking Arnie (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 970, Jan 19 around 0600, 0630 and 1345 chex, nothing detectable from 
XEJ Ciudad Juárez which used to be regular; just US stations in English. Now 
like John Wilkins, CO, I also wonder what`s become of XEJ. Is it completely 
off, or QRP? Supposedly 10/5 kW, 24h NSP per IRCA. A DXer in El Paso could tell 
us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1757, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1550, Jan 17 at 0237,  bouncy Mexican music from NE/SW, 0238 ``La 
Rancherita, 15-50 AM``, ad, then losing to something in English. IRCA Log shows 
it`s our closest, XENU in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, 5000/250 watts --- and WRTH 
2015, Cantú both agree on all this! Quite a coincidence. But is it really on 
night power? Both ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1566, Jan 22 at 1335-1340 UT, I am straining to detect a 
trans-Pacific carrier, and there may be one at imagination level; following 
neighbor Richard Allen`s catch of HLAZ, South Korea, 48 hours earlier; it`s the 
250 kW FEBC station on Jeju, presumably with a variety of antenna 
configurations since over the 24 hours it broadcasts in Korean, Chinese, 
Japanese and Russian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page30

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal 
antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as 
specified

** CUBA [and non]. 530, Jan 16 at 0440-0455, enjoying the music from R. 
Enciclopedia, approaching Enid from OKC on caradio, and no sign of ``K530AM`` 
Vance AFB TIS on 530, even in downtown Enid. The thing has been getting weaker 
and weaker with its endless useless loops of irrelevant PSAs such as what to do 
in a hurricane. Had been hard to hear even in the daytime; solar powered? Cuban 
is playing knockoff instrumentals of ``I`ll Only Love You``, ``Whiter Shade of 
Pale``, etc., with soft-spoken YL DJ leading up to midnight. So comforting 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1757, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 640, Jan 17 at 0241, best signal from E/W in full null of Okie SSE, 
rapid national Mexican news in Spanish referring to Iguala, CNDH, whales, with 
stingers; 0243 music bit, swishes, 0245 interview about violence toward women. 
No doubt it`s XEJUA in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, listed by IRCA as with Milenio 
TV audio simulcast, 5 kW daytimer. Cantú agrees on daytime, nombre as BM Radio, 
which is a major group in the state. So when do they sign off? WRTH shows power 
as 5 without a d, implying it is really full-time. During this, hardly any KFI 
to be heard underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 660, Jan 17 at 0247, live Spanish coverage of a SBG, looping NE/SW, 
crowd roars, announcer has to compete with loud PA from the venue; 0247 
mentions ``Dorados de Chihuahua`` which is enough for me to conclude it`s XEACB 
in Ciudad Delicias, 3/1 kW per IRCA, breaking from otherwise ROMantic music 
format; Cantú agrees on power but WRTH 2015 shows 5 kW fulltime.

However, somewhat stale Wikipedia entries indicate Dorados de Chihuahua were 
both a baseball and a basketball team, but both were going to move elsewhere 
out of state. However2, further searching to latinbasket.com indicates this 
name is still active as BKB in Chih and I suppose even in Mexico, baloncesto is 
more likely than béisbol in January (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Quick check of regular sunrise-skip XEs, Jan 22 at 1340-1345 in case 
some are lost to the FM transition: definitely still 650 XETNT with 6:40 TC and 
``agenda de hoy``; 730 XEHB with joint ID for 107.1 FM; presumed 870 XETAR with 
announcements in Spanish; and 710 XEDP, Spanish not off-frequency (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 900, Jan 19 at 0632, YL jazz singer in English dominates, loops toward 
Cuba, and soon confirmed as such by // 890 with WLS nulled. So both are R. 
Progreso, but 900 is much stronger. So how do we explain this? 890 is 
WRTH-listed as 200 kW in Ciego de Ávila, while 900 is only 50 kW in further 
Holguín. It would be nice to know about Cuban MW direxional patterns, if any. 
Is there any source for such info? Don`t bother asking Arnie (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 970, Jan 19 around 0600, 0630 and 1345 chex, nothing detectable from 
XEJ Ciudad Juárez which used to be regular; just US stations in English. Now 
like John Wilkins, CO, I also wonder what`s become of XEJ. Is it completely 
off, or QRP? Supposedly 10/5 kW, 24h NSP per IRCA. A DXer in El Paso could tell 
us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1757, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1550, Jan 17 at 0237,  bouncy Mexican music from NE/SW, 0238 ``La 
Rancherita, 15-50 AM``, ad, then losing to something in English. IRCA Log shows 
it`s our closest, XENU in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, 5000/250 watts --- and WRTH 
2015, Cantú both agree on all this! Quite a coincidence. But is it really on 
night power? Both ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1566, Jan 22 at 1335-1340 UT, I am straining to detect a 
trans-Pacific carrier, and there may be one at imagination level; following 
neighbor Richard Allen`s catch of HLAZ, South Korea, 48 hours earlier; it`s the 
250 kW FEBC station on Jeju, presumably with a variety of antenna 
configurations since over the 24 hours it broadcasts in Korean, Chinese, 
Japanese and Russian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, January 15-22, 2015

[Glenn Hauser]

All times and dates strictly UT [5 hours ahead of `ELT`]. Rx: mostly DX-398 or 
PL-880 with internal antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 
with E/W longwire as specified

These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also 
VHF/UHF, sometimes, utility, ham, which may be found in several archives 
without much delay, such as 
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and 
publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST: 
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open 
access: 
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page30

These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of 
USA, unidentified, separated by === Within each, they are in frequency order

** OKLAHOMA. 530, various daytime chex Jan 16, `K530AM`, Vance AFB TIS is 
indeed off, no longer even a weak signal audible. Just as well, as the thing 
never met 1% of its potential (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1757, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 530, Jan 21 at 1940 UT I have driven down to the Visitors Center 
(with a number of mounted aircraft exhibits outside) at the north side of Vance 
AFB, and even here there is no `K530AM` to be heard. I am not pursuing this 
with the powers that be at Vance, since they may not have noticed it`s off, and 
I`d rather have it gone so R. Enciclopedia et al. are unimpeded. Indeed the 
electronic sign beside Southgate on the way to Vance gate, still flashes ``TUNE 
INTO / 530 AM`` along with hours of various gates. 

On the way earlier at 1930 UT Jan 21, I make a point of driving along the next 
E-W street to the north, Rupe, where there are hi-voltage lines/de facto 
Beverage antennas? Which re-radiate MW signals along with the noise and used to 
mix with K530AM, but never identified. I park at one peak point and monitor 530 
for a while. It doesn`t take long to recognize the main audio is just local 
KGWA // 960, with an ag report. Weaker audio I realize must be from our other 
local, KCRC 1390, since, guess what, 1390 minus 430 = 960 and 960 minus 430 = 
530. In other words, a leapfrog between these two which are not at the same 
site, with the assistance of OG&E [local electric company, no gas except maybe 
partly to generate the juice].

** OKLAHOMA. 580-720, Jan 15 at 2158 UT in NE OKC on caradio, KWPN Moore, 5/1 
kW transmitter site on south side of OKC, is splattering out to this range, 
much worse the closer to fundamental 640. So it bothers or blox groundwave from 
WIBW 580, KMKI 620, KSKY 660, KGGF 690, KGNC 710, to name a few. IBOC is also 
on, but the splatter includes extremely distorted analog audio. I suspect out 
of whack IBOC is causing this. Fortunately have never heard it this bad in 
Enid. No other OKC market AM signal is such a mess (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 640-700, Jan 20 at 2036 UT, KWPM Moore splatter is audible up to 
60 kHz above fundamental, even in Enid, like I was hearing in OKC last week, 
altho not as strong here of course. It`s enough to QRM 690 KGGF Coffeyville KS; 
and 700 KHSE Wylie (Dallas) TX which runs only one sesquikW. Also extends below 
640, but harder to detect there with several strong stations. KWPM IBOC is also 
on, but the splatter is more analogic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

While at the Vance AFB VC in Enid, since it`s a quiet location without overhead 
powerlines, I perform a quick MW bandscan, including:

590-640, splatter from KWPM Moore can now be detected also on the low side, 
QRMing Omaha 590, Kansas City 610, and probably on 580 too but WIBW is strong 
enough to block it (and audibilize the usual weak groundwave signal under, 
which must be remnant of 500-watt KRFE Lubbock TX). Other non-Oklahoma logs are 
filed under USA (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1120, Jan 19 at 1329-1332+ UT, open carrier looping 
toward Tulsa, while KMOX and presumed KTXW are mixing when it`s nulled. Tired 
of waiting for KEOR to start modulating, but 1330 UT is the official Catoosa 
sunrise in January (Feb: 1315 UT). KEOR is now a regular reliable groundwave 
daytime signal. I think it`s still religious, but I see in FCC that it`s now 
owned by La Zeta 95.7 of Springdale AR, not to be confused with OKC-based KTUZ 
1270. Why is Zeta such a popular radio handle in Spanish? Likes to be 
associated with narcotrafficking?

1120, Jan 19 at 2039 UT, KEOR Catoosa is again, or more likely *still* open 
carrier dead air, as noted earlier today after sunrise time of 1330 UT. Still 
so at 2210 UT on caradio now that KMOX is propagating, making a SAH of 
320/minute = 5 and a third Hz. So my earlier remark ``KEOR is now a regular 
reliable groundwave daytime signal`` may have jinxed it. Not to be confused 
with another Tulsa suburb, Jenks [sic, no X].

It sounds like a W call, CBS sounder at the end and the temperature kind of
matches Topeka.  I'd say WIBW as an educated guess.

Re: [IRCA] Interesting TP from Arizona this morning

[Brian Rachford]

I've had more of a look at the SDR files for this morning's Asian opening.
My tuned loop has some broadband coverage, especially when operating at the
high end of the BCB, but I was optimized for ~1550 kHz, so the actual
conditions below ~1400 were better than implied by my recordings.  I have
local graveyarders within 2 miles at 1450 and 1490, so I'm being fairly
conservative when talking about carriers because I do sometimes get spurs,
plus other possible QRM from being indoors.  The second of two SDR files
ran from 1415-1438UT and had the best action.  The only audio worth
listening to was from 1566 HLAZ.  There was a nice overall peak ~10 minutes
before the 1434UT sunrise and considerable fading after that.

1242 good carrier at times
1287 maybe brief audio at 1422UT
1314 good carrier around 1424UT
1332 weak carrier
1404 possible very weak carrier
1422 strong carrier at times, maybe audio at 1427UT (weak audio in first
file)
1467 possible carrier at times
1503 possible weak carrier
1557 possible audio around 1427UT
1566 frequent audio; music at 1428UT
1575 weak carrier at times, but a lot of splatter from The Mouse
1584 possible carrier at times, but splatter again
1593 weak audio at least around 1425UT

Re: [IRCA] unID on 580

[Forrest Skaine]

Im going to go with Rob on that one. WKTY's wx doesn't line up. I do hear a
W clearly then middle two UNID then I do hear a W at the end.
What time of the night did you hear them? Sounds like 0430 your time.
For me here at my QTH the 4 usual are WKTY, WIBW, CIWW and Mexico. Every
once in awhile its Tueplo but that's unusual.

[IRCA] Another great TP day

[Walter Salmaniw]

Had another wonderful session this morning with my highlight being the JJ
weather transmissions on 1689!  Like shooting fish in a barrel with site
after site checking in.  Also noted them on 1683.5 which isn't listed in my
PAL.  All used USB + carrier only.  73, from Masset. Walt

Re: [IRCA] Another great TP day

Sorry for the typo.  Chuck was correct.  Reception was very good with many
of them and easy to ID with identical formats. Only 50 watts.  PAL was 100%
accurate too.  Perhaps I could email each site for verification!  73,  Walt

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 22 January 2015

[Nigel Pimblett]

   As others have noted, Walts conditions moved south today, and this 
was the the most interesting day of the year.  Someone mentioned it was 
like October, and I'd have to agree.  I had quite a bit of action on the 
X-band from Australia, something I generally never get in January, but 
quite often in Sep/Oct.  I listened from 1430 to 1500, and in general 
the upper band was better, but it began to fade by 1450, whereas the 
lower band stations (mostly only carriers) improved after that.  Apart 
from the audio listed below, lots of carriers, with a number close to 
audio.   Oddly enough the Japanesee on 747/774/828 never reached audio, 
and weren't even overly strong as carriers.



594 JOAK, Japan Woman in Japanese at 1443.  Pretty weak, but
still the best in weeks (months?)

693 JOAB, Japan Fist noted with a poor signal at 1445, with
woman speaking, but gradually rose to good by
1455, again, the best for ages.

801 unIDTraces of music noted at 1446.  No idea who
this might be.

1242JOLF, Japan Woman talking in Japanese at 1445.   Mostly
poor to fair, but up to good for brief spikes.

1422JORF, Japan Weak, with talk in Japanese by a man at 1445

1566HLAZ, Korea First observed at 1433, then mostly fair
throughout the session.

1575VOA, Thailand   Fair to good with woman in Burmese at 1435.

1584unIDTraces of music at 1444.

1593unIDTraces of audio at 1436, but never got any
better.

1611unIDTraces of man talking at 1451.

1629unIDTraces of audio at 1440.

1638unIDTalk by a man at 1449.  Too weak to be sure of
language, but Arabic would be my first guess.

1701.07 R.Brisvaani, Australia
Presumed the one with south Asian music at
1444.   Another station on 1701.02 rose atop
briefly at 1449 with traces of music.



73,

Nigel Pimblett
Dunmore, Alberta

[IRCA] TPs in Seattle on January 22

[Bruce Portzer]

As others have said, TP conditions were quite good this morning.  My 
unattended recording 1425-1601 UTC showed fairly consistent reception up 
until about 1535-40 UT at which point most signals dropped out rather 
quickly.  The 972 Korean, however, was still doing well when the 
recording ended at 1601.


The low band Japanese stations were the winners today, with good signals 
from the regulars and bits of audio from a couple of seldom heard 
stations.  With one or two exceptions, the upper part of the dial was 
sub par - HLAZ-1566 was anemic at best and VOA-1575 was just a carrier.


GOOD - mostly understandable by a native speaker
594JOAK, 1500, 3+1 pips then man with news
693JOAB, good at times, esp 1447 male talk, 1540 "JOAB NHK Tokyo 
Dai-ini Hoso Des" then NA & chimes
774JOUB, good 1500 with pips, then woman mentioned NHK Hoso 
something & intro'd next program with weird calliope-like music, weaker 
1540 with NA sign-off
828JOBB, woman in Japanese 1459, music, then pips and start of next 
program //774

972HLCA, 1459 vocal music, anmt by woman, pips, then KBS mention & news

FAIR - words and phrases understandable by a native speaker
702NHK2, music //693, faint ID, then NA 1540
747JOIB, JJ talk //747 1523
1332JOSF, Japanese male faded up briefly 1530
1503JOUK, pips & news 1500, theme from the movie "Flashdance" 1531 //594
1566HLAZ, woman in Chinese 1532 briefly rising up, mostly poor 
signal otherwise


POOR - recognizable program content
567JOIK, 1455 traces of talk //594
612JOLK, 1500, partial  very weak time pips //594
666JOBK, 1445 serious-sounding JJ male //594
729JOCK, 1500 faint pips, 1509 woman //594
837JOQK, 1459 faint music, 1500 pips
873JOGB, 1432, man & woman w/English lesson //774, good signal but 
horrific KIXI splash

981bits of talk 1523, probably CNR
1134bits of what sounded like woman talking, possibly time pips 1500 
amid much splatter

1377Inst music 1531, probably CNR
1386pips & music 1500 //774 mostly buried in KRKO splash
1422Japanese woman 1532
1467NHK2, 1531 Japanese folk song very poor in domestic splash //774

CARRIERS
558 576 585 603 657 675 684 738 756 765 783 792 801 819 846 855 864 891 
918 927 963 1008 1017 1044 1053 1107 1179 1206 1242 1278 1287 1314 1323 
1404 1413 1449 1458 1494 1557 1575
