I've been away recently, so this was the first listening of the new year, and conditions didn't seem to bad for midwinter, with several CNR1 stations being heard for example. Not particularly good signal strengths on anything, however. HLAZ-1566 was also delivering audio traces during its Russian program between 1730 and 1800 UT, and faded "up" (signals were really marginal at best) for the pips at 1800. My gosh, they kill the carrier quickly after that last pip; not like NHK2 which left their carriers on for quite a long time after the 1540UT s/off this morning.
pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): none reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK at 1530UT; this hung in well after 1600, weak but clear with no 600 splatter anymore 747 JOIB 774 JOUB 828 JOBB 972 HLCA usual big carrier 1566 at 1534UT usual big carrier not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 612 at 1537UT and later; pop mx w/ DU direction so likely 4QR 639 CNR1//5030 873 JOGB //774 at various times to 1540UT s/off 945 CNR1 //5030 at 1535, not before (any audio heard before didn't seem //5030) 1287 JOHR at 1536UT 1377 CNR1 //5030 at 1544UT, man in CC 1593 CNR1 //5030 Burbles in the splatter and noise: 567 JOIK //594 at 1546UT 603 mumbling at 1540UT, not //594, so possibly KBS2; with 600 clear, this will be a much nicer channel 666 JOBK //594 702 DU per DF 855 hum and audio traces, but didn't seem //2850 or 3320 945 CNR1 //5030 at 1551UT 954 likely JOKR at 1535UT 1116 DU direction at 1542UT 1512 at 1550, possibly Chinese? 1575 Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 279, 657 w/hum, 1053 with hum, 1098 DU bearing, 1188, 1548 w/DU bearing 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]
