Re: [IRCA] TA carriers
Hello Nick Thanks for the heads up. JAGUAR tells me the NA peak was between 0500 & v0600 UTC. I will look at 1000 carefully as we usually have reciprocation on this side of the pond.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-29
What seemed like a pretty routine session developed some drama around 1330 as the fairly rare 657-China (Henan?) managed to take over the frequency, silencing Pyongyang BS and its "TOH" 3+1 pips. On the high band 1593-CNR1 also had an above average session, although there didn't seem to be any unusual Chinese propagation wave on the other high or low band frequencies. At my 1300 start time the usual big guns on 594, 693, 747, 972 and 1566 were at good levels in and out, with some occasional fair signals from 603-HLSA, 657-Pyongyang and 1593-CNR1. Around 1320 the usual Pyongyang tirade woman on 657 started having some co-channel competition from an easy listening music station, which made a strange combination with her angry shouting. By 1330 the co-channel had pushed Pyongyang way down, so that the 3=1 pips were barely heard in the soft music. Pleasant Chinese female speech was all alone on the frequency at 1333, and Pyongyang had bailed for the session. The other usual second-tier Asians on 603 and 738 didn't seem quite as strong as yesterday, and there weren't any Chinese signals on 603, 756 or 936. 639-CNR1 managed a strong carrier and seemed to show up with some audio, but KFI splatter was too obnoxious to make sure. 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 both got a boost from the daybreak enhancement, though, reaching good peaks in and out around 134 0. 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA both managed extended S9 runs during daybreak enhancement, which seemed to peak around 1335 here. They were the strongest big guns in a moderately interesting session. 657 China (Henan?)

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-29
1330UT seemed to be the peak here as well, Gary, but not much in the way of Chinesethere might be something identifiable on the recordings, but 1593 didn't show until 1400UT, and even then was quite weak. On the other hand, there has been a fair bit of post-sunrise evidence. 747 just had the sign off chimes at fair strength at 1504UT, well over an hour after local sunrise, and several other channels were still showing intermittent audio as well. Maybe 1593 was in there somewhere also. best wishes, Nick At 14:46 2018-03-29, Gary DeBock wrote: What seemed like a pretty routine session developed some drama around 1330 as the fairly rare 657-China (Henan?) managed to take over the frequency, silencing Pyongyang BS and its "TOH" 3+1 pips.

Interestingly 1593 was doing well here this morning also, and was the sole Chinese on a mostly DU morning. 73, Nigel On Thu, Mar 29, 2018, 9:21 AM Nick Hall-Patch, wrote: > 1330UT seemed to be the peak here as well, Gary, but not much in the > way of Chinesethere might be something identifiable on the > recordings, but 1593 didn't show until 1400UT, and even then was quite > weak. > > On the other hand, there has been a fair bit of post-sunrise > evidence. 747 just had the sign off chimes at fair strength at > 1504UT, well over an hour after local sunrise, and several other > channels were still showing intermittent audio as well.

Clarifying here... this is the religious network that brands itself as "Walk-FM," not the radio station at 97.5 on Long Island that's licensed as "WALK-FM." Right?

[IRCA] TP 29 Mar Victoria version
Much the same as far as the big guns...plus lots of Asian small stuff (including a bit of China), and carriers. Band peak again, maybe between 1325 and 1340UT, and maybe slightly lower signal levels overall. Post sunrise signals for a few minutes, then mostly fading down for 40 minutes or so, then back up for awhile about an hour after local sunrise. Nothing like earlier strengths, but a number were readable for a few minutes. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB Chinese lessons 1344UT (music box came up to fair level at 1504UT sign off as well; local sunrise 1357UT) 774 JOUB man in Japanese 1328UT 828 JOBB Chinese lessons 1342UT 972 HLCA man and woman in Korean 1328UT 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 in Japanese 1335UT 693 JOAB Chinese lessons 1334UT 1287 JOHR woman in Japanese 1455UT, after commercials and HBC Radio (not rajio) mentions; its best signal of the morning. Reprise at 1513UT at pretty fair level also. 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1354UT, but a couple of reprises to this strength with man in Chinese 1454UT, and woman in Chinese 1515UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 873 JOGB man in Japanese //774 1326UT 891 JOHK man in Japanese //594 1342UT 954 JOKR man talking Japanese 1331UT 1008 JONR likely; man in insistent Japanese 1338UT 1134 KBS3 likely Korean man 1334UT 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) 558 HLQH quiet vocal music //603 which was very weak 1338UT 567 JOIK man talking //594 1345UT 576 woman and man talking, DU English intoation 1350UT 603 HLSA, quiet vocal //558 1331UT 612 JOLK man talking //594 1337UT 666 JOBK man talking //594 1334UT 837 JOQK man talking //594 1333UT 909 JOCB woman talking //828 1341UT 918 man talking, Chinese intonation 1337UT 945 CNR-1 man talking, Chinese intonation, one low and one high pip 1330UT; also ID'd earlier //981 981 CNR-1 man talking //945 12328UT 1143 Taiwan Fisheries? woman talking, Chinese intonation?, 1332UT 1152 NHK2 woman talking, //828, then slow violin music theme for the Chinese lessons 1344UT 1323, man talking, Russian perhaps? 1339UT 1386 NHK2 Chinese lessons //774 1348UT 1503 JOUK woman talking //594 1325UT 1575 man talking, SE Asian language? 1358UT but continued across the hour with no ID?? 1593 CNR-1man talking, //6125 1401UT; pips and CNR1 interlude music heard a moment before Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 657 864 936 1026 1053 1089 1098 1107 1116 1179 1188 1206 1242 1251 1269 1278 1314 1359 1422 1557 seemed to be Asian; 585 792 846 909 1017 1098 1116seemed 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
