Re: [IRCA] TP 26 Jan Victoria version
Hi Nick, I'm wondering if this was very local, as Bruce and Gary often hear east Asians better than I do pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ. This had brief bursts of recognizable CC talk at 1418 and 1420UT, but it started a bit a of a jag at 1531UT, with more recognizable talk, erratic fading to be sure, but kept building to this strength at 1538-9UT with lively choral mx, then gradually fading down to about 1545UT. A big surprise. Well, it sounds like a Victoria exclusive, Nick. I can't speak for Bruce, but 1566 didn't even manage a carrier here during sunrise enhancement around 1540. It was down for the count throughout the session. 1575 managed a moderate carrier from 1430-1530, but that was it for Asian signals here this morning.

Hello All, Asian signals rebounded somewhat from yesterday's dreary session, but were still far from vibrant. There were some fair low band signals on 594, 603 (HLSA), 693 and 747 at my 1430 start time but these fizzled out as daylight approached. The high band had all the limited action after 1500, with fair signals in and out from 1566-HLAZ and 1593-CNR1, and poor audio intermittently from 1575-VOA. All these signals were long gone by 1540, however, as typically dreary January propagation brought a swift end to the lackluster session. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5 loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15 FSL antenna ___ 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

Hi Pete, CFAX is a fine local station (KGO model: pour in local money and local money will pour out), but at 6pm many nights, they turn into a pumpkin, and relay live sports from CKST-1040. In addition, their Sunday morning programming before about 8 AM is purest snake oil infomercial. You can't be great all the time. (but if it keeps the station solvent for the local stuff, it's a small price to pay) all the best, Nick At 03:07 28-01-15, Pete Taylor wrote: 1070 is CFAX in Victoria. Primarily local news.
