I didn't really notice sunrise enhancement today, if only because signals were not bad from 1400UT onwards; really not bad in retrospect, just not too much that was really good. Interesting that Gary has heard EE on 972; I had a SAH on there yesterday, which is unusual, but no audio to argue with the big Korean.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB 774 JOUB 1566 HLAZ reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 567 JOIK //594 at 1504 576 RR talk by man and brief Mayak chimes at 1430UT 594 JOAK 828 JOBB 873 JOGB //774 972 HLCA 1242 JJ talk by man at 1511UT, so JOLF 1287 JOHR JJ talk at 1431 not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 279 R. Rossii 558 HLQH //603, something underneath 603 HLSA //558, also something underneath 621 CC talk at 1510UT 639 CNR-1 //6030 648 CC talk before 1500UT, presumably VoR 855 hum gradually giving way to KK talk by woman; no // available, but assumed N. Korea 873 N. Korea fighting w/JOGB, //2850 at 1429 w/singing 936 presumed Anhui, woman in CC at 1517UT 981 CNR-1 //6030, woman in CC then mx 1450UT; really quite good strength, but too much 980 splatter 1044 CRI woman talking //7410 at 1451UT 1314 unID at 1518 w/choral mx and piano, almost like a hymn, followed by woman talking as it faded down. Definitely didn't sound commercial Japanese. Guess Korea's CBS radio is a possibility, but didn't have time to get their webstream (which lists FM only) going before they faded. Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : 153 and 180 both R. Rossii 702 mx seemed //2850 at 1436 along with big hum, so N. Korea. 864.? often a good carrier 1143 could be CC, so Taiwan? 1323 weak singing assumed CRI; much bigger carrier than audio delivered 1332 sounded like JJ talk, so JOSF 1377 CNR-1 woman talking //6030 1494 mysterious grumbling at 1520UT 1503 seemed //594 so JOUK 1575 likely VoA 1593 seemed //1377 so CNR-1 Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1098 DU, 1206, 1521 off channel best wishes, Nick ***************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
