[IRCA] TP 30 Jan Victoria version.

2019-01-30 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Now that was quite a bit better.   Mainly a Japanese lift on the upper band 
around sunrise; before then, the now normal dullness prevailed.


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

no




Reasonable audio at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):

1422 JORF woman in Japanese 1552UT






not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker: 

1242 JOLF  man in Japanese 1541-3UT

1566 ? rather lively music for HLAZ, then woman in Chinese 1547UT, maybe 
someone else in Chinese underneath.


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) 

972 man talking, maybe Korean? 1546UT

1134 woman talking, sounded Japanese 1542UT

1314 woman talking, Japanese intonation, then pop music 1539UT

1332 woman and man talking 1543UT, Japanese intonation

1593 CNR1 man talking //6175 1553UT




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)

1098 1179 1269 1287 1386 1431 1449 1458 1494 1557 seemed to be Asian; 
 nothing much seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] (New) Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide, etc.

2019-01-30 Thread Nick Hall-Patch

Hi Chris,

I only wish that I had more hours to go through your 
site.  Interesting radio stuff of course, but your impressions of 
Korea and other details of that nature are extremely worthwhile also.


I think that the write up on Asian DX targets' webstreams is still to 
come is it?


Thanks for putting that up.


Nick

Just a note that my Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide has moved to:

http://chriskadlec.com (see the Radio menu)

I have added numerous full-length propaganda clips (AM FM SW) that I 
hadn't featured before, as well as photos and more. My old page was 
merely a temporary home for two years in lieu of this new page that 
had been planned for that pretty much that long.


In addition to that, I have built new pages featuring all KBS local 
addresses for those QSL seekers and a new/improved page for Chinese 
ID vocabulary (i.e. guangbo, dianshi zong tai, zhi sheng, etc.) with 
full English and pinyin translations for each clip. Both were 
previously PDFs. I also have a plan to add a similar page for MBC 
local addresses and update my list of Asian station streams.


For those who have interests beyond MW, you can also find all my FM 
content, including my full Chinese tropo and E-skip log with 3 hours 
of audio, and my new 6-hour 500 top-of-hour ID project for my 530 FM 
regulars here in Michigan. And other stuff too.


Hope some of you will check it out and let me know if there are 
other such resources that I may have access to that anyone would be 
interested in.

Re: [IRCA] upper band lift

2019-01-30 Thread R. Colin Newell
My last NHP FishBarrel screen grab before I put my phone down showed an
impressive hump around 1530 --

MY BAD -- I was listening at 1530, not 1430!  WHOOPS.

My ALA100 seemed to be getting maybe 20% of the action your flags were --
but there were bits of audio.

Re: [IRCA] a tale of two conditions?

2019-01-30 Thread Mike Irizarry
>From the chicago suburbs, I worked about 100 QSOs on and off during the
contest. My condx are T top loaded 40 foot vertical TX was running between
500 and 1KW. RX antennas various: 4 square, k9ay, a couple of beverages.
For some reason I cant figure out, my reversible DHDL antenna set not
working properly. Anyway, I worked every NA station I could hear with no
problems. I worked several mexican stations, several VI stations, and
several caribean stations with no problem. I heard no european stations. I
will say, for me, those stations usually come thru later in the evening and
into the morning and this year, I was asleep by 10 :). From my half hearted
observations, there wasnt anything spectacular about condx from here in the
midwest.
