[IRCA] TP 17 Dec Victoria version

2015-12-17 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Unfortunately, the sunrise enhancement, limited though it may have been in Seattle and south, didn't turn up here at all. There was a brief bit of peaking around 1430-40UT, otherwise, not too exciting pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

Today's SDR recording captured a few high band carriers around sunrise: 1404 1422 1494 1503 1557 1566 1575 and 1593. Unfortunately, none had any audio worth mentioning. It might have been an interesting morning had the TP's been about 10db stronger. There were no signs of any TP's at the low

Or not bad news at all. The band is less congested and last month I heard Kenya 1233, Egypt 1341 (two stations! Koran and Cultural), Ethiopia, Eritrea and Israel 1080. All from Newfoundland of course. There are plenty of challenges left. Chuck From: I

Bad news, indeed. I was hoping for a lot of Euro action in a few years at solar minimum. Europe is going the way of Africa, it seems. 73, Walt Salmaniw On Thursday, December 17, 2015, Patrick Martin wrote: > An posting elsewhere states that Germany will be shutting down the last of > their M

Heard weak audio from Korea's 1566 HLAZ today, either side of 1500. Not normally worthy of note, but after three days of no audio, a welcome visitor. A few other carriers from the regulars, but nothing very close to audio. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB Perseus SDR & Wellbrook Phase

[IRCA] Weak Low Band TP Audio This Morning

2015-12-17 Thread d1028gary
Sunrise delivered somewhat of a surprise this morning with fair audio on 603 (HLSA-type music) and poor audio on 657 (Pyongyang) arising out of the noise around 1540 UTC. The only other TP signals around at the time were a ghostly heterodyne on 594 and fair audio peaks from 1566-HLAZ. Nick proba
