First of all, I noticed I had a mistake in the subject line of my report for yesterday. It should have read "Thursday August 20th ULR TP Loggings...", not the 18th. Sorry for the goof.
This morning returned to mostly very good signal levels, at least briefly for most frequencies with audio. DUs and TPs both were heard: ---------------------- 594 JAPAN JOAK Tokyo, strong with flute and piano music, then JJ talk at 1234. 738 AUSTRALIA 2NR Grafton, man and woman talking in Aussie accented English; one of the few signals this morning at a poor level. Heard at 1242, and only on Gary's hotrodded E100. The D96L could only produce a strong het. 747 JAPAN JOIB Sapporo, JJ talk at 1245, parallel 774. Very good level. 774 JAPAN JOUB Akita, English lessons by Japanese man and woman, parallel 747, and also at a very good signal level. 792 AUSTRALIA 4RN Brisbane, man and woman with English talk; seemed to be discussing Aussie country music. Good level at 1253. 828 JAPAN JOBB Osaka. Very good signal of Japanese talk with English lessons, parallel 747 and 774 at 1255. 963 NEW ZEALAND Southern Star, Christchurch, tentative with Kiwi or Aussie accented talk by man; poor to fair. 972 SOUTH KOREA HLCA, Korean talk by man and woman at 1310. Good level. 1053 KOREAS - North Korean jammer heard mixing with South Korea's Voice of National Salvation at equal levels. Poor to fair, with the VONS station coming out on top at 1312 with male and female KK talk. 1134 JAPAN JOQR Tokyo heard at 1314 with excited announcer (sports?) in Japanese, at very good to EXCELLENT level, peaking at 1316 just past max dawn. 1143 UNIDENTIFIED - Possibly Taiwan Fisheries Broadcasting Station here, with poor to fair signal of Chinese language by man and a woman, plus orchestral music. 1206 CHINA - presumed Yanbian RGD the one here with Korean talk, per PAL schedule. Good signal at 1315 but ravaged by splatter on both ULRs. 1287 JAPAN JOHR Sapporo with JJ talk by man at 1320. Very good peak at 1321. 1475 MALAYSIA RTM Kota Kinabalu - heard again with Indonesian sounding lang. and pop music typical of Malaysian and Indonesian stations. Male announcer at 1330, but signal level starting to drop to fair and poor by 1332. 1566 SOUTH KOREA HLAZ Cheju, with very good to excellent signal at 1326, with JJ talk by man and woman, followed by religious music. 1575 THAILAND VOA Ayutthaya, strong again this morning but widely variable from minute to minute around max dawn 1314. Noted first at 1259 with presumed Vietnamese, and then change of language at 1300 per schedule to listed Khmer. Still good signal at 1325. 1593 JAPAN JOQB Niigata? - surprised to hear Japanese language here with an ultralight, but I've heard 10kw Niigata or Matsue on 1593 before with more serious antennas and receivers. English lessons at 1255, parallel 747. By 1258 the signal was mixing with Chinese (presumed CNR1), which was dominating the frequency by 1300.
