Gee, I must have been DXing from another planet this morning (some will say that happens every morning, and not just DXing). It was pretty darn good here, but the high points were hearing several KBS stations, NHK1 on 603 and the NHK2 pipsqueaks on 1512. Yes there was China there, but not outstandingly so....and 594 had some QRM, but nothing like yesterday. Most intriguing.
Listened from 1355 for about one hour. but also did a quick check at 0945UT when it was also pretty lively, with JOIB-747 the strongest of all, and the 1053 jammer being the strongest I've heard this season. pretty darn good audio (at least briefly, though mostly pretty steady): 279 R. Rosii 594 JOAK 747 JOIB 774 JOUB 828 JOBB 972 HLCA always with big carrier, but not strong audio until later 1053 S. Korean jammer 1566 HLAZ after 1430UT 1575 VoA (so, pretty much the "regulars", with only 1053 being out of the ordinary) reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 189 R. Rossii 531 JOQG //594, pretty consistent 567 JOIK //594 at 1406 603 two stations at least, later. Dug out NHK1 parallel at 1436 639 CNR-1 711 HLKA ID at 1400UT 738 at 1410 w/light mx, not //1143, probably KBS which was logged later //711 1053 woman talking o/jammer, but sounded more like Tagalog than JJ??? 1134 Korea //972 1143 CC talk, but still not //738 at 1417 1170 likely KK (not CC) talk, so KBS. 1242 pop mx, most likely JOLF 1305 HLSV //711 at 1425 not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 153 R. Rossii 558 the usual 2 stations, JJ seemed dominant 585 JOPG //594 612 JOLK //594 at 1430; hum there also 675 Vietnam //5975 702 NHK2 o/hum on channel at 1421 864 music not //1287; consistently good carrier 873 JOGB //774 945 CNR1 954 JOKR 963 a mess 1215 seemed to be CNR2 //6155 1314 usual hum w/apparent JOUF mixed in 1434UT 1422 JORF w/JJ talk at 1433, but another station faded in w/singing; no idea who 1512 after hearing what sounded like CC followed by Tagalog, actually noted //774 w/CC lessons, so NHK2, though the channel was so unstable, it could have been China and Philippines before this. Burbles in the splatter and noise: 549 576, big carrier 621 CC? 1098 Asian, best on north Flag; no clue 1161 possibly Taiwan, also noted clucking type noise often noted on 774; is this a jammer? 1179 mx u/IBOC 1188 at least two stations 1332 1494 pop mx at 1441 1575 CC pips at 1500 in middle of deep VoA fade Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): A surprising number of these the last few mornings, though eventually some deliver audio. Almost like the splatter is stronger.... 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
