Hi, John. My comments below: At 07:25 AM 9/28/2008, you wrote: >Still adjusting to Pacific Time here, so my first pass was 2 hours before dawn >at 1208.

Funny, I thought the JJ were stronger than "usual". 666 was JOBK here around 13:31. 576 has been a Russian regular here this season. >Things motored along at a less than interesting level until about 1345 when I >noted a strong station on 675 running American Rock/Pops among other things. >I followed this until 1400, when it began fading (likka rock) with local dawn >here. I think that it was Radio Radonezh from Vladivostok. I also heard this, but too weak to make anything out of itsame style music heard here at 13:35. My notes say "not NHK1". >Geez, it was an interesting AM!!!

Sure, happy to have a listen. Although I do receive the Russians here, it's not anything like the numbers I hear up on the Charlottes (there were plenty during my month their up to mid September). >It was a GREAT morning here!

[IRCA] TPs from Orcas Island, Sept 28: Very Interesting
Still adjusting to Pacific Time here, so my first pass was 2 hours before dawn at 1208. I heard the now-usual NHK1 on 567 at an 8 and expected the same thing on 576 NO! It was Russian!!! Was R. Mayak probably from Petropavlosk (its a synchro channel for Mayak). That was a very rare and unverified one for me, so I did my Chickasaw dance around the fire and got a decent recording at 1230 of interval sigs, etc. In general, the morning was below average With Japan and many of the Chinese/Koreans weaker than usual but the Russians kept popping up. I noted 648 in passing and then stumbled on 666, expecting Osaka as usual NO! more Russian!!! Was // 576, Mayak and was either Komsomolsk running ND or Sochi(hard to believe.) Things motored along at a less than interesting level until about 1345 when I noted a strong station on 675 running American Rock/Pops among other things. I followed this until 1400, when it began fading (likka rock) with local dawn here. I think that it was Radio Radonezh from Vladivostok. Geez, it was an interesting AM!!! I'm going to run all three of these past Walter before sending reports... Unlike Walter's place, Russians have been almost as rare as hen's teeth here over the years except for 648 VOR/VOA. It was a GREAT morning here! John B.
