Not as much sign of China today, and not much sign of anything to replace it either. There were a couple of signals that still kept popping up an hour after local sunrise, 1287 and 1566, but not much else. Oh, and CNR 'X' on 1215 heard yesterday seems to have been CNR7 per the webstream recommended by Chris Kadlec awhile back. The same slow music is heard after the Beijing time check on the CNR7 stream, and that leads into further ID details, but not on my rough recording. Just a carrier today though. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB woman in Japanese 1258UT 972 HLCA woman in Korean, then pop vocal 1301UT 1566 HLAZ woman in Japanese, choral music 1336UT; still readable during Chinese program 1421UT and later 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 1301UT 747 JOIB English lessons 1305UT 828 JOBB English lessons 1311UT 1287 JOHR man in Japanese, followed by commercial 1429UT, briefly at this level not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 612 4QR man in DU English on phone, talking to woman 1322UT 693 JOAB man in Japanese //774 1256UT 891 man in DU English 1327UT, had faded by half hour though; 5AN? 1386 NHK2 woman talking English //774 1329UT 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 woman talking //603 1308UT 567 JOIK, 1305UT, man talking //594 576 man talking, DU English intonation 1255UT 603 HLSA woman talking // 558 1308UT 603 man bellowing, then choral chant, sure didn't sound like Korea 1312-3UT NZ? 702 man talking, DU English intonation 1304UT 855 4QO/4QB man and woman talking //612 1321UT 1134 woman talking rapidly, Japanaese intonation 1306UT 1134 two men talking, possibly Korean 1308UT 1206 man and woman talking 1300UT; off channel, so likely Yanbian 1323 man and woman talking, possibly Russian 1302UT 1503 JOUK woman talking //594 1314UT 1575 SE Asian sounding talk by man 1422UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 531 639 864 873 918 936 1026 1053 1098 1107 1143 1215 1242 1251 1269 1422 seemed to be Asian; 531 585 675 756 765 792 837 846 1116 1503 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

Glad to hear that Richard heard a carrier on 702 kHz...I think he must have heard most of the signal that was available for North America. They didn't amount to much here, and in fact, not much else did either. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): MIA Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): also ran not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 738 rhythmic rock music, presumed Tahiti 1315UT peak 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) the above, passing through Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 594 774 891 1017 1107 1566 best wishes, Nick ___ ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Be sure to register now for the Joint DX Convention Kansas City, September 9 to 11.

Re: [IRCA] TP 8 Apr. Victoria version
I hate to say this, given what the Rockworks guys were (not) hearing, but it was actually a pretty fair morning here for Asiatics at this time of year, though some of the DX was noted before 1300UT. I'll keep the files from 1300-1330UT for awhile, in case any comparisons need to be made. Well, Nick, you shouldn't feel entirely sympathetic to the Rockworks guys. More life insurance might be a good idea after I post this morning's report. 73, Gary -Original Message- From: Nick Hall-Patch n...@ieee.org To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Tue, Apr 8, 2014 9:31 pm Subject: [IRCA] TP 8 Apr.

The Asiatics were back this morning, though mostly the bigger guns, and fading quite erratically. Having said that, some of the second string took advantage of the erratic fading too, you just had to be there, and without the SDR recording to back me up, I'd probably have missed them. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): none quite there today reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK woman in JJ 1320UT 774 JOUB man w/ weather broadcast 1317UT 1566 HLAZ woman in JJ 1315UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1053 KK jammer 1309UT 1287 JOHR JJ talk, man on phone 1327UT 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) : 567 JOIK man in JJ //594 1309UT 747 JOIB man in JJ //774 1318UT 828 JOBB man talking //774 1315UT 891 JOHK man talking //594 1323UT 972 HLCA? woman talking 1317UT 1188 JOKP wman in JJ //594 1309UT 1269 JOFM/JOHW woman talking //1287 at 1310UT Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 963 1323 1422 1593 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
