Interestingly 1593 was doing well here this morning also, and was the sole
Chinese on a mostly DU morning.

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

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-29

[Gary DeBock]

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

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

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-29

[d1028gary]

Hello All,
 
The Asians were back in force this morning, with several of them managing very 
good signals during a generous sunrise enhancement. 603-HLSA was back at a 
vibrant level after a day's absence, along with the 1053-Jammer with its best 
signal of the new year. This morning was the first real test of the new 15 
DXpedition FSL here (with the design photo posted at 
http://www.mediafire.com/view/zi23102bq3kz50c/15inchFSL-005.jpg ). This 
29-pound monster has 111 Russian surplus ferrite rods, and an FSL point score 
(coil diameter x ferrite length) of 3000. It seems to dig out TP audio quite 
well even from wimpy carriers, and has bonus coverage of the amateur radio 
160 meter band.
 
Anyway the session started here at 1250, when the 1053-Jammer was the star of 
the hour, going on a nice romp jamming the domestic splatter here for about 15 
minutes (reaching its best audio yet in 2014 around 1302). Quite a few Asians 
were already fairly potent by 1300, including 594-JOAK (good), 693-JOAB (good 
in Vancouver splatter), 972-HLCA (very good) and 1566-HLAZ (very good). Sunrise 
enhancement around 1330 once again brought up the Japanese NHK signals, 
especially 774-JOUB, which reached very good audio (in KTTH splatter) around 
1335. 531-JOQG came up to a fair level, while 594, 693, 747 and 828 all had 
good signals in and out. After yesterday's strange absence 603-HLSA bounced 
back with serious energy from 1325-1340, managing very good signals with its 
classic American rock (and deep-voiced male announcer).  The high band had 
quite a few vibrant signals this morning, with 1566-HLAZ, 1575-VOA and 
1593-CNR1 all having their fair to good moments from 1330-1345. With the!
  increasing daylight all the Asians started to bail around 1350, with 594-JOAK 
the last to fade around 1355. Overall it was a pretty interesting session, 
despite the lack of anything really exotic. Best signal of the morning (for 
strength, not content) was from the 1053-Jammer at 1302.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-29

[d1028gary]

Hello All,

It was an unusual TP-DXing morning here, with the Japanese NHK stations 
generally managing the best audio (and most of the usual Korean big guns fairly 
subdued). 738-Tahiti made its first appearance of 2013 at this location with 
fair French OM audio around 1333, and stuck around for most of the session 
until the band collapsed around 1355. None of these stations were especially 
vibrant, but the signals from 747-JOIB, 774-JOUB and 828-JOBB were the best 
that those NHK stations have managed for quite some time here (which is not 
generally a Japanese-favorable environment like Victoria, or Kalama). 1566-HLAZ 
was the lone Korean with decent audio, reaching a very good level around 1255 
(the best signal of the DXing session).

 Gary:

It was defintely a Down Under morning here in northern Oklahoma 

There were hets on all over the band, especially on 612, 702, 738, 
891, 918 and 1198 kHz.  As usual the strongest was on 891.  I finally 
settled on 702 for a listen until 1226 GMT.  There appeared to be 
distorted, unreadable audio on the frequency around sunrise (1219).  
I need to give a listen to the recording when I get back home later.  
I also checked 657, 594, 774, 1116, 1548 and 1566 but heard  nothing.

Receiver: PL-310 with 7-inch FSL antenna.
 
Good DX.
