[IRCA] TP for 30 Oct from Victoria, BC.
Can't say this was a much better morning here; I had a bit more time, and by bottom feeding, managed to winkle out a few stations. No, hold on, 594 was quite listenable for awhile this morning, and it's been a couple of days I think since any station could have been described that way, other than ones in the immediate neighborhood. Listened at 1300UT, then 1405 through 1430, on and off, and what there was, was pretty much the bigger guns. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): JOAK-594 at 1421UT reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 774 JOUB not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 747 JOIB 828 JOBB 972 HLCA at 1426UT 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 , seemed //594 at 1428 954 likely JOKR at 1425UT; last year this one was usually a late bloomer 1287 likely JOHR 1566 likely HLAZ 1575 likely VoA Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1242, 1377 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
[IRCA] TP for 30 Oct from Victoria, BC
Was up late last night, so didn't get to the radio this morning until 1440UT. Results not too different from Colin's although without the visual and other effects (breakfast must have contained some interesting side dishes up on the hill this morning, hi) 594 is a bit of a mystery; the non-JOAK signal was also observed here, often on top, though not as strong as JOAK was at peaks. Gary D. has heard KBS there, but KBS-1 can be hard to parallel. Neither 711 or 1305 were in this morning, and 756 seemed to be China if it was anything at all. And, an earlier attempt at finding a webstream ended in failure. Also did some SDR-14 recording overnight, and threw the files away rather quickly. Not much useful across the hour at 1000, 1200 or 1300UT this morning. pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 594 JOAK , though often u/unID signal 603 HLSA at 1447 //558, w/mx underneath 774 JOUB at 1449, usually rougher than this level (!) 972 HLCA reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 828 JOBB not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 279 R. Rossii 558 HLQH //603 567 JOIK //594 621 hum and the mystery CC 936 likely Anhui 1017 likely CRI, not //774 1134 //972 at 1450UT Burbles in the splatter and noise: 576 (nothing like the strength Colin got) 738 mx 756 seemed //5030, so CNR-1 801 mx at 1456 1566 w/big carrier Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): (didn't listen long enough to dig at this level; as is so frequent now, DX could likely have been found by hard work.) 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
