[IRCA] TP for 4 Feb from Victoria, BC

Definitely a step downwards after the last couple of mornings; the Japanese big
guns eventually delivered reasonable signals, but there didn't seem to be much
happening with the second string of stations.  Listened at 1400, 1430 and 1535UT


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

594 JOAK
774 JOUB



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


747 JOIB
828 JOBB



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

567 JOIK //594
972 presumed HLCA, finally some audio at 1537UT, big carrier otherwise





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) :

873 JOGB //828
1503 JOUK //594 at 1539UT
1575 assumed VoA



Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):

639, 1287, 1386, 1566


best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] TP for 4 Feb from Victoria, BC

2009-02-04 Thread Nick Hall-Patch 
An odd morning; erratic signal levels and a couple of mysteries; first 
impression was that it wasn't as good as yesterday overall, and better on the 
low band.  The propagation monitor said that signals were better overnight 
overall than when approaching sunrise.   Listened from 1430 to 1500 and 1525 to 
1545.

pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 

828 JOBB  
972 HLCA at 1531UT


reasonable audio  at  times during the period (though often battling w/splash 
or noise):
 
594 JOAK 
648 presumably Russia at 1452
774 JOUB  (still in at 1540UT s/off)
1566 HLAZ best at 1531UT


not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 

279 R. Rossii at 1450UT
558 mystery at 1448UT, best on W. Flag, so may have been DU; later on, it 
seemed Asiatic again
603 two signals at 1532UT; one seemed to be KK talk and //558, the other wasn't 
//NHK1 or CNR1
567 JOIK   //594 at 1452UT
747 JOIB 
774 something behind JOUB at 1445UT, suspect it was DU, as was best on west Flag


Burbles in the splatter and noise:

576 Asiatic signal at 1454, but very murky
738 strange hum on channel, about 37Hz with two higher harmonics per Spectran, 
mx underneath; seemed Asian
873 JOGB //828 at 1446UT
981 seemed //5030, so CNR-1
1044 briefly at 1532UT
1143 pop mx briefly at 1537UT



Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):  most 
noticeable: 792 DU, 1098 DU, 1134


best wishes,

Nick
