2016-12-03 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Thanks for looking these over Chris.  Yesterday was a "deeper" 
morning than most, with a Chinese flavor, but this morning was back 
to a more normal Japanese collection of stations near local sunrise.


If you're interested, 
http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/test/display.htm will show you 
rough signal strengths here in Victoria on a minute by minute 
basis.  Yellow/orange/red coloring on the bars shown indicate likely 
audio receptions, and signals are peaking here in the 1400-1530UT 
time period, though HLAZ has been occasionally impressive up to a 
couple of hours after local sunrise .


best wishes,

Nick

Your 972 would be Henan Economic Radio most likely, 100kw. It 
regularly is heard behind 1500kw 972 in Seoul and is a really hard 
signal to shake. I've IDed it a few times under there and 972 is 
under 40 miles away. Nothing else with enough power to hear on that 
frequency in Chinese, anywhere.


918 would be Shandong People's Radio, Jinan (200kw). It's a mess of 
echoes in Seoul because there are other 50 and 10kw affiliates on 
the same frequency.


819 I'd imagine is Pyongyang. I doubt you'd hear MBC (never say 
never I guess). But that Korean inflection is drastically different 
between north and south. The northern media dialect (which doesn't 
resemble normal speech patterns) is very distinct, but sometimes 
they also run more normal programming with normal speech patterns.


1377 is obviously CNR-1 in Zhengzhou //Beijing (the reason your 972 
is even more obvious). That's far inland, but they get out strong 
into Seoul even at 600kw. I wonder about the distance of that, geez! 
They're the only CNR-1 on the frequency as well and the frequency 
isn't busy at all in the region.


756 is CNR-1 Harbin, 100kw (or one of the many smaller CNR-1s, but 
doubtful given your other stations from up that way). 756 is almost 
exclusively owned by CNR-1. There's a 10kw station in Japan and no 
stations whatsoever on 756 in Korea to hear.


1242 is obviously Nippon, Tokyo, 100kw as you likely suspect anyway. 
They play music and their unique cuckoo clock TOH ID sound. Nothing 
else to hear on there and 1242 in Korea recently went on super-low 
power. At 40 miles, you can barely hear the thing anymore whereas it 
used to pummel Tokyo, but no more.


All the others I'm sure you obviously know, such as the two 
Changchun signals (981, 1017) and Beijing. Anything else would be 
mere speculation on my part as you obviously have a fair number of 
10kw signals in there that you got.

Lively again, but not with many of the Japanese that Nigel heard, in 
fact, they were a little suppressed.   It was a bit more Chinese 
oriented (so to speak).I had to limit the time spent on playback 
of the SDR files, just too many possibilities there.   I'd say the 
peak was just after 1500UT,  getting fairly dull after 1520UT, and 
with no sign of really late (1700UT) DX today.

747 JOIB man in Japanese //774 (much weaker) 1510UT
972 HLAZ man in Korean 1503UT, had been bothered by a Chinese speaker 
a minute or two earlier.

1566 HLAZ choral music 1539UT





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



639 CNR1 man in Chinese, one low pip, one high pip, Beijing time 
check 1430UT, news sounder etc.

981 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1508UT, ID'd earlier by parallels
1017 CRI woman in Korean 1502UT




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


558 HLQH soft vocal music 1441UT  //603 which channel was actually 
mostly Chinese talk by woman

603 HLSA soft vocal music 1431UT, //558 which was barely there just then
612 4QR fanfare, ABC news 1500UT
891 JOHK man in Japanese //594 1401UT
918 unID woman in Chinese 1506UT
945 CNR1 man in Chinese, news sounders 1530UT, best on north Flag
1206 Yanbian woman and man in Korean 1501UT
1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1524UT




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)


702 2BL man talking //612 1507UT, plus someone else.
819 woman and man talking, Korean inflection 1504UT
837 JOQK man talking //891 1401UT
972 unID woman talking, Chinese inflection during dip in HLCA's signal 1502UT
1143 woman talking, Chinese inflection 1503UT; something else there also
1242 pop music 1503UT
1323 CRI immense carrier, slightest traces of chimes and fanfare 
1500UT, heck, those could have been from one of the other CRI 
stations on that channel, they were so weak.   There were a couple of 
other carriers on the channel, but no better than 20dB down

1377 CNR1 man talking, news sounders, //639 1502UT

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

The early bird went south this morning.   If wasn't for a brief 
sunrise enhancement, there would have been no action at all, and what 
action there was not stunning, nor did it lastfive to eight 
minutes perhaps.


Interesting that Colin was hearing things around 1500UT, brief 
whispers from 774 was the best I could do then.




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


today? no.



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


another no for today




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


1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1527UT



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)


774 man and woman talking, maybe Japanese inflection 1527UT; similar 
strength or lack of it at 1503UT






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

The enhancement started here at 1522UT and was pretty much done by 
1540UT .   Nothing much before then, but there were a few reasonable 
signals during enhancement, plus some mostly extreme minimalist DXing 
yielded the rest.



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


still 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):


594 JOAK vocal mx, sort of an island feel, but JJ vocals //1503 1525-6UT
1287 JOHR man in JJ 1526UT
1314 JOUF one of the stronger stations this morning woman in JJ, pop 
mx 1523-1528UT

1503 JOUK first to fade in today 1510UT, and max'd to this strength 1525UT
1566 HLAZ woman in CC 1534UT



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


603 HLSA likely laid back vocal mx 1530UT
1116  4BC likely woman talking DU EE Sunshine Coast mention 1441UT; 
only up for 30 seconds or so.




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) :


738 woman talking, maybe FF? 1331UT
774 JOUB man JJ inflection 1529UT; ID'd by 1602 // a few minutes later
891 woman talking 1513UT not //1503...
1269 JOHW/JOFM man in JJ //1287 1526UT
1422 JORF? man and woman talking, JJ inflection 1522UT
1593 CNR1 likely hints of woman in CC 1532UT seeemed //6030
1602 NHK2 man and woman talking, just briefly 1535UT //774


Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or
