Not yesterday's DX session by any means.

At several checks after 1400UT this morning, things were fairly abysmal. Then, a quick (10 minutes?) sunrise boost started around 1530UT,bringing several upper band stations to at least some audio traces. But the bottom dropped out at 1540UT; one minute I was listening to the first bars of the Japanese anthem on 1602, the next, even 1566 had gone. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): too much to hope for 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 CC 1536UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1593 CNR1 man and woman in CC //6125 1538UT 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) : 1278 man talking, maybe CC cadence??? and no 1287 didn't appear at all this morning 1602 NHK2 light mx, then man talking 1537UT; first bars of JJ anthem at 1540, then the bottom dropped out Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1242 1296 1323 1404 (quite strong, but still no audio) 1503 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 27 Jan Victoria version
I tuned in at around 1430 and the NHP fish barrel looked pretty lively — but my 80-10M end fed simply did not measure up. Nicks SDR looked good on 594, 774, 828, 891, 972, ... through to 1566 (which was the best signal on the band...) I got threshold audio on 774, 828, 972, 1053 and 1566... a good 10-15 dB below whatever Nick was getting. Getting a FLAG or Wellbrook ALA back in the air is imperative.
