A much improved morning, and it sounds as if I need to start listening no later than 1400UT, as that's when much of the signal strength seems to occur, even if there is a slight sunrise lift on some signals (for example, this morning had 828, 774 and to a lesser degree, 747, signing off at fair strength at 1600UT. At the same time Tagalog was heard on 1512 which is quite unusual here.
Listened on and off (mostly on) from 1415 to 1600UT. Might have been a good morning to have a Beverage on the coast. Our present outside temperatures limit the beverages to hot chocolate however. pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 747 JOIB at 1447UT 774 JOUB 828 JOBB reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 189 R. Rossii; this seems to have good modulation, as was quite a bit stronger audio than 279 which had a stronger carrier 558 possibly JOCR, just music at its peak at 1441UT, so no language ID 567 JOIK //594 594 JOAK 648 Russia at various times 873 JOGB //774 (North Korea //3320 was also heard mixing with this after 1530UT) 954 JOKR w/JJ talk at 1542UT 972 HLCA 1512 DYAB? Tagalog talk at 1558, but in the murk by the top of the hour. 1566 HLAZ, usual big carrier 1575 VoA Thailand not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 153 R. Rossii 279 R. Rossii good carrier, poor audio 693 JOAB //774 at 1522 711 mx at 1425UT, likely S. Korea 837 //594, so possibly JOQK, though there is a lower powered Hokkaido station also; in addition, there was mx mixing in which may have been China? 918 echoey CC talk at 1507; probably two other stations also 945 CNR1 //5030 at 1523 1017 not //NHK2, possibly China 1044 two stations, one CRI //7190 1134 JOQR w/JJ talk 1143 at 1520UT; seemed to be CC sounding, so Taiwan? 1242 two stations here, one seemed to be JJ talk, so JOLF 1287 JOHR 1386 NHK2 synchros //828 Burbles in the splatter and noise: 180 657 w/hum likely N. Korea 711 846 two stations 864 1008 1053 1116 1179 1188 good carrier, poor audio 1323 good carrier Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1269, 1395, 1404, 1422 best wishes, Nick ***************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ 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]
