This morning beat yesterday's virtual washout, but it was quite ho-hum nevertheless. ------------- 738 TAHITI weak audio at 1246, then fair to good at 1258 with French talk by woman 747 JAPAN JOIB Sapporo, weak to fair at 1246 with Japanese talk 972 UNIDENTIFIED - weak signal of a male announcer just above threshold at 1249; probably HLCA South Korea 1053 NORTH KOREA - jammer transmission at a good level 1250; no sign of South Korea's V. of Natl. Salvation co-channel station. ------------ I checked the files past 1300 to 1330, but found no other TP DX for this morning.

This is the closest "plume" that I have seen.

I have heard that they've been setting backfires and doing protection of the mountain. If crews are indeed still up there, I think much, if not all of it, can survive without too much trouble.

The foreign language is certainly not one of the Asian groups, and is presumably a Pacific Island dialect. If any of the New Zealand or Australian DXers in the Ultralightdx Yahoo group (or any other DXers) could take a listen to the MP3 and possibly identify the announcer's voice or the language, it would be most appreciated. 531 kHz has always been a "fiasco frequency" during my summer Grayland trips, with at least three UnID DU's having been heard this summer.

Word I'm hearing is that the smoke being seen on the webcam is from backfires being set on or near observatory property by firefighters. The director of the observatory was interviewed on NPR earlier this hour, and he said things have actually improved considerably up there during the course of the day today. He says fire crews were pulled off the mountain yesterday for fear that they'd be trapped up there, but that they were brought back in around noon, PT, today. I'm also hearing word that KRTH 101.1 has switched from Wilson to its aux transmitter in the Verdugo Mountains between Glendale and Burbank. Speculation is that they may have a clogged air filter in their transmitter from all the smoke...but keep in mind that it's almost ALL speculation now, since nobody from the stations or the observatory is up on the mountain, and won't be for a while yet. s ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 13:56:25 -0700 From: "DXer1@ msn.com" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [IRCA] [Tvfmdx] Mt.
