[IRCA] TP 12 Mar Victoria version
There should be a single word for the concept "what a difference a day makes". Most mornings recently, at least the big guns have been kicking up a fuss around 1300UT, but today it was unusually quiet then. There was a definite lift after 1400UT, with a couple of oddball mysteries turning up, but generally this was a poorer morning than yesterday by some way. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 603 HLSA woman and man in Korean 1412UT //558 774 JOUB English lessons 1358UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK man talking Japanese 1414UT 1566 HLAZ choral music 1412UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 558 HLQH man and woman talking 1412UT //603 567 JOIK man talking //594 but with slight delay 1404UT; not // a moment later, local programming? 693 JOAB bits of English lessons belting through CBU splatter 1343UT 747 JOIB English lessons 1416UT 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) 738 woman talking, Chinese inflection? 1402UT 828 JOBB woman talking //747 1342UT 873 JOGB man talking //774 1404UT 1287 men and women, general hilarity 1413UT 1494 woman talking, Chinese inflection 1418UT...obviously worth hunting for, but only in for a couple of moments 1503 JOUK man talking //594 1410UT 1593 man and woman talking Chinese inflection? 1417UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 531 549 621 711 909 1413 1422 1557 seemed to be Asian; 612 891 1098 likely DU? best wishes, Nick ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] TP 11 Mar Victoria version
Didn't get a chance to post any results yesterday, ( and today was a victim of equipment/operator error) , but as Nick notes it was a morning above the recent average. Here is Alberta the low band wasn't doing a lot, just the big guns from Japan with so-so signals, but the upper band was quite vibrant from about 1315 to 1340. Had audio from Japan on 1386 and 1503, a strong showing by Korea on 1566, and perhaps the best showing of the season from China on 1593. Several strong carriers too, with 1557, 1584, and 1602 being particularly notable. Earlier on I also noted choral music from the Marshalls on 1098 just before 1100. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta On 3/12/2017 12:05 AM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: Definitely more than met the ear today. After 1400UT, several channels had at least two stations on them, most weak, lots of carriers, many that turned out to have bits of audio if one listened to them long enough. Oddly, the big guns didn't often deliver big audio.

This morning there were carriers (no audio) on 774, 828, 972 and 1566 kHz before sunrise. It's going to take me a few days to get my head around daylight savings time!
