[IRCA] TP 16 Jan Victoria version
Some improvement in conditions this morning, with HLAZ peaking well after local sunrise, and apparent Chinese on 837. The occasionally strong carrier on 846 was also noted, but no audio heard, so presumably the transmitter had been left on after s/off? pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB woman in Japanese 1517UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1566 HLAZ man in Russian 1640UT was the best strength heard on this one; was at least at mumble level, and often better, between 1600UT to after 1700UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 594 JOAK woman in Japanese, man on phone, 1540UT 693 JOAB woman in Japanese 1517UT //774 828 JOBB woman in Japanese 1501UT 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 woman talking; English intonation, 1502UT 747 JOIB pop music //774 1458UT 837 man talking Chinese intonation 1517UT 972 HLCA, man and woman talking; Korean?.heard as late as 1716UT with man talking 1575 woman talking, Chinese intonation? 1510UT 1593 CNR1 faint female vocal music //6125 1610UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 567 603 639 738 918 1134 1188 1287 1314 1323 1386 1458 1539seemed to be Asian; 846 seemed to be DU 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 Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ 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] Alberta TPs for 16 January 2018
A bit of an improvement today, with the regulars reaching audio this morning. 594 JOAKTokyo, JAPANMan speaking in Japanese at 1331. 693 JOABTokyo, JAPANpor, with man in Japanese at 1303. 747 JOIBSapporo, JAPAN reached audio by 1334 with woman in Japanese, //774 774 JOUBAkita, JAPANWoman with language lesson heard at 1319. 828 JOBB Osaka, JAPAN The strongest TP at 1320, with woman presenting language lesson. 1116 4BC Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Very weak, but traces of talk programming noted at 1357. 1566HLAZJeju, S.KOREA Choir singing a hymn at 1328. I also noticed that the Kiribati carrier stayed on past 1030 today, and I had a decent carrier this morning on 846, which makes we wonder if it was on all night.

Re: [IRCA] [CapeDX] 1530 VOA Sao Tome at sign-on and sign-off
I was wondering the same thing about listenership back in December while cruising in the western Injun Ocean. 909 (and 4930) from Botswana thumped in at night on a stock PL380 while on a circuit Mauritius/Seychelles/Zanzibar/Comoros/Reunion/Mauritius. Then '60 Minutes' on CBS a week or so back were tut-tutting about 'RT/Russia Today' complete with 'Larry King Live' being available on cable...

Re: [IRCA] TP 16 Jan Kona version
Last night we had a community wide power outage for over an hour — Noise levels went from S9+ to around S5... Amazing how much remained. I’m thinking the culprits are solar arrays And stuff being re-radiated by the temporarily off-line 13kv distribution. By the time I got back from the Alii drive, I had about 15 minutes to listen (around 0700) and there were oceanic carriers - little else., Colin Newell - Kona > On Jan 15, 2018, at 7:26 PM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > > No sunrise enhancement this morning to speak ofand generally conditions > were not very exciting. > > > > > 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
