My SDR recording these mornings grabs samples at 0800, 0900, 1000 and 1500 UT. This morning, the earlier ones were very poor, but the 1500UT recording was fairly lively, especially at the top of the band, where 1566 audio was fairly good, weak NHK pips on 1593 (not the usual CNR1), and weak au

I had "very poor/poor" level on 594 Asian this morning at 1536 utc--hardly worth mentioning. (A couple notches above Nigel's "faint mumbling".) Several weak hets; even 1566 was never more than a weak het. First audio I've had in several days, didn't consider it worth mentioning at the time. Ste

Thanks, Nigel. Alberta is often very different (as is Arizona!) compared to us here on the west coast/WA/OR. Maybe everyone else has given up for the season? .Walt On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 5:20 AM, Nigel Pimblett wrote: > I wouldn't go so far as to say it was good reception here, but Japan

I wouldn't go so far as to say it was good reception here, but Japan on 747/774 was at least above the "faint mumble" level I've had of late. Those were the only two with anything approaching decent audio though. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta On 12/01/2012 8:19 AM, Walter Salmaniw w

WBZ has no IBOC this evening, which is very unusual in itself, but they are also weaker than usual, and their carrier is on 1029.999 instead of the usual dead-on 1030. This all leads me to believe that they might be using their backup transmitter... Barry -- Barry McLarnon VE3JF Ottawa, ON

One thing I have noted, that is a little different, is that 1440khz is occupied all the time by an Island sounding station with Island music and talk in a micronesian sounding dialect - PAL indicates this could be Saipan - normally 300W at night, they have a wicked signal early on and through the
