Report for 25 August 2008 from Masset, B.C.
A somewhat abbreviated report this morning, although the IQ and Perseus were busily recording most of the spectrum from 12:20 or so, and also the TOH overnight. A project for the next few months for sure! Live listening from 12:50 to 14:17. First, though, TA report for last night….the first night where the band was full of TA hets, and some audio,although I totally forgot to check until quite late….around 05:20. Here’s what was heard: (varying hets unless indicated): 531, 639, 648, 711.05 (almost audio and clearly off frequency),738, 774, 783, 819, 837 (strong, but mostly blocked by IBOC), 873, 936, 963, 981, 999, 1008…Spain most likely at 6 level, 1035….at 7.5 was the strongest of the lot with Hey Jude at 05:24, then PP language…Radio Nacional Portugal, 1098, 1107, 1116 (a 7 with Spain), 1125, 1134, 1143, 1152, 1215, 1224, 1251, 1269 (a 6….Germany or Spain), 1305, 1413, 1485 (Spain), 1503, 1566 (still a 5), 1575, 1584 (a 7, Spain), 1602 (a 6, Spain). Lots! Bodes well for the next while. Now onto this morning. I concentrated on the bottom and top ends of the band. Fade out tended to be much less abrupt compared to previous mornings. Lots of Russians heard, and JJ and CC. Vietnam as well. Strong Filipinos present as well. Once again, the Australian X-banders were there, but not quite a strong as yesterday morning. Here’s the list, in part: 153, 180, 189, 234, 279 all well heard with Radio Rossii. 531: NHK1 plus another, possibly Russia. 540: both NHK1 and CNR1 549: Mayak with a nice signal at 13:06 plus het from 548.9 567: KBS1 plus one other. 576: Mayak with a 9 signal at 13:09 594: NHK1 very strong. At 13:25 JOAK and an echoey cochannel…not CNR1 and not // to VoV on 675 either. 603: Strong KBS2 with horoscope 612: Very strong Filipino late at 14:10. Also noted NHK1 at 14:05.
