An odd and somewhat frustrating morning. The Japanese were mostly down considerably, and though there were plenty of indications of Chinese, for the most part, they weren't all that strong. Mind you, there were huge carriers on 891 and 918, the former delivering no audio at all, and the latter quite weak audio from Shandong.And there were even a couple of DUs. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1421UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 558 HLQB ballad //603 (which was really struggling) 1420UT.

Again erratic, lots of good carriers. and lots of quality splatter. Some digging led to the following, but I wouldn't say it was an easy morning here, less so than other mornings. Things had mostly died here by 1440UT, but there were Philippine channel carriers around 1430UT, and maybe a bit of action on 1377 then. In fact there was a bulge of signals around 1430UT, (really, two stations on 711??) but hard to nail things down. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1424UT 774 JOUB lots of times, right from 1000UT 828 JOBB also quite a few times, not quite so ubiquitous as JOUB Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 558 HLQH man in Korean //603 1429UT; seconds earlier it was a man talking rapidly sounding Japanese 747 JOIB woman in Japanese 1405UT //774 not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 567 JOIK woman singing 1424UT //594 639 CNR1 man in Chinese 1420UT; heard typical news sounder at 1432UT 972 HLCA man and woman in Korean 1401UT 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1423UT 1575 VoA likely, man in SE Asian language 1423UT 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) 603 HLSA man talking quietly //558, mixing with something else with music 1429UT 612 unID music w/ JOLK underneath, Japanese woman //594 1438UT 702 NHK2 man talking //774 1103UT 711 woman singing, with another station fading up and down with woman talking 1433UT 945 CNR1 man talking 1431UT //639 1287 man tlking, possibly Japanese 1411UT 1323 man talking 1416UT 1377 relaxed woman talking 1430UT, maybe Toli-Toli given the appearance of strong carriers at the same time on 1215 1314 and 1512 1386 NHK2 woman talking //747 1412UT 1503 JOUK woman singing //594 1448UT 1557 slow vocal music 1428UT 1593 NHK2 woman talking //774 1428UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 864 918 954 1008 1017 1026 1035 1098 1116 1215 1269 1314 1422 1512 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 5 Mar; Victoria version
Hi Nick, Not even at the levels Gary was getting. I'm surprised he didn't hear the low band NHK2s, as that's practically all I heard, Both of the low-band NHK2 big guns suffer from major splatter issues here, so they have trouble being heard even on decent mornings. 747-JOIB is peppered with 750-Portland splatter (a daytimer here), and 774-JOUB is usually mangled by 770-Seattle. This morning's TP results here were a dreary repeat of yesterday, but without any unusual audio from 1575-VOA. It only reached a poor-fair level around 1425, along with similar audio from 972-HLCA at the same time. All of the other Asians stayed in hibernation. 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, Mar 5, 2013 8:29 pm Subject: [IRCA] TP 5 Mar; Victoria version Not even at the levels Gary was getting.
