Re: [IRCA] 621-Pyongyang BS/ VoK-- Audio Situation Becoming Critical

2018-11-06 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Didn't the discussion also cover whether the hum increases in intensity as Chongjin fades down, and decreases as it dominates the frequency? I believe that increasing hum with increasing Chongjin signal strength would indicate that the hum is part of Chongjin's signal, rather than due to

Or could the hum be just heterodyne caused by 50 Hz difference between Chongjin tx and Heilongjiang? I checked via a Japanese receiver and I don't see strong side carriers, which would be typical for mains hum otherwise. Mauno Gary DeBock kirjoitti 6.11.2018 klo 9:25: A few months back

A few months back there was a discussion on the list about the transmitted audio from the 621-Pyongyang BS/ Voice of Korea station in Chongjin, N. Korea-- specifically, whether there was audio hum on the frequency from a bad transmitter, or whether the bad audio was caused by a drifting

Here are two Pacific island sign off MP3's from the recent Kona, Hawaii DXpedition. Because of overwhelming Asian propagation around 1000 UTC in December, both of these stations usually had TP co-channels to deal with as they signed off (unlike in April). 621-Tuvalu started having a distorted
