My pleasure, although they eluded me! As Nick mentioned, location, location,
location! Only lots of hets in Campbell River this morning. No sign of TAs
here, last night either. On to Tofino!!
73 and Best of DX,

It was an abbreviated session here this morning.
747 JOIB barely audible // JOUB at 0841-0845; poor with static and CKJH 750 QRM
at 1133-1143.
774 JOUB barely audible to poor fading in and out between 0831 and 0840; poor

I listened to 621 again this morning. There are two carriers, the
dominant one is a couple Hz high, the weaker is on about 620.94.
Listening again, the music sounds more like what you'd hear on a
Chinese, and not DPRK. So this one is probably China.

Thanks Gary,
I think the buzz might actually be the 40Hz "hum" from the offset in
both our cases, as your "buzz" only shows up as the audio
weakens. So, perhaps not part of the distinctive programming, hi.
best wishes,
Nick

Hmm, interesting, Nick.
It seems like our Japanese friends also made some remarks about the buzzing hum
of 621-VOK, though-- or maybe it was Chris Kadlec?

Just wanted to chime in on this one. I never heard a buzz on the Chongjin
transmitter. It's always been a clear signal, so it could be your tech stuff
(of which you know everything about and I know nothing). It's been two years,
but here's one of numerous recordings of 621 I have from 330 miles

Excellent call Chuck. Thank you!
In Victoria, 873 was pretty much a conflict between N. Korea and
Japan, and 1341 shared the lack of excitement common throughout most
of the upper band, but

Colin,
Thanks for the spectacular video and the kind words. Perhaps I should have just
found a place to string a wire in Victoria instead of heading up island! I am
keeping my fingers crossed here at the Tin Wis in Tofino. I took a quick
mid-afternoon walk around the compl
Parallels are my main tool for TP / DU DX.
It doesn't seem so popular with others.

In my spectrogram, it's not a bunch of discreet tones but rather a "smeared"
single tone as would be seen with a slightly unstable carrier. It looks like
the carrier suffers from jitter.
I'd attach a picture of the spectrogram but then my post would get rejected..

As Nick has reported the Asian conditions this morning were a shadow of
yesterday's, but with S7 electrical noise continuing from the neighbor's
property a single 15" FSL was taken to a local park 5 blocks away, and some
Asian test recordings were made with a CC Skywave Ultralight during sunrise
