Got up early this morning, and monitored the bands between 12:08 and 13:00. A modest Asia opening, followed by mostly DU. Nothing spectacular, but in any case, here are my results:
LW Russians were there quite well heard (all with the ALA 100): 180, 189 and 279 alll at 7. 234 at a 6. All in // 529: Alaskan Beacon at a 7 567: late at a 6 612: Brisbane. Weak today at 6, but improved to 7 at 12:41 639: 6 666: 6 702: initially 6. 7 at 12:43 with 2BL Sydney. C&W music. Still a 6 to 7 at 13:00 738: 8 carrier level, but weak modulation. 7 at best. Tahiti presumed. 747: NHK2 at 7+ signal strength, early. 756: 7, presumed NZ 765: Very unusual male vocals.....???Maori?? Noted that PAL has Radio Kahanguro, a Maori station in Hastings/Napier. Perhaps? Only other possible is 5CC Port Lincoln, SA. John B's probably heard this one. All at 12:16....faded quickly, and didn't return. 774: 8 with 2 cochannels. 3L0 seems dominant at 12:23 783: 5 or weak 6 792: 7+ with 4RN Brisbane at 12:24. Remains the strongest station still there at 12:53. 828: 6 or 7 ?NHK2 at 12:28. Seems // to 774 1098: 7+ carrier. Improved to "8" level at 12:45. OC 1242: Late appearance at 12:46 with a 6. DU wire. 1314: ditto with 5 to 6 1332: 6 level at 12:33. Still a 6 at 12:48 1386: 6 level at 12:35. DU 1475: Malaysia with a 6 late 1503: 6 at 12:49 1512: 6. Still a 6 at 12:50 1566: 7 with Asia wire. Must be HLAZ, but modulation is again low. 1575: 6 Mostly faded out by 12:53. Good DX to all!.........Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] 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: [email protected]
