Today's loaded dial (by Puyallup RF alley standards) made up for the
wasteland that was Sept. 1st's dawn enhancement. I'll bet John on Orcas and
Walt in Victoria did very, very well! None of the signals this morning were
strong except a couple of NHK outlets (briefly), but there were plenty of
signals to pursue. I also heard a possible Philipino station-- off-channel
1322 kHz which could be DXAD in Marawi City.
Here's what I found on the Perseus WAV recordings with the NW terminated,
broadband loop (45 ft. high x 30 ft. long):
---------------------------------------
828 JAPAN JOBB Osaka - fair at 1235, then noted at god level 1303 with EG
lessons ("Now all I have to do is pay off the loan on my dream car...it's SO
cool!")
1566 SOUTH KOREA HLAZ Cheju - surprisingly poor 1230-1330, never rising
above fair despite multiple checks throughout.
1575 THAILAND VOA Ayutthaya - likewise crummy, with threshold audio in Asian
language only around 1320.
972 SOUTH KOREA HLCA - Poor with KK language at 1240.
1242 JAPAN JOLF Tokyo - Poor in JJ at 1245.
1017 CHINA CRI - Woman in KK, fair at 1255. PAL lists CRI with Korean on
1017 in this time frame.
594 JAPAN JOAK Tokyo - Fair to good with JJ talk at 1250.
1287 JAPAN JOHR Sapporo - poor to fair in Japanese at 1252.
738 AUSTRALIA 2NR Grafton - two male announcers with EG talk; poor to fair
at 1257 and then fair to good 1322 with discussion of Australian events.
891 JAPAN JOHK Sendai - Fair with JJ talk by a woman at 1255.
1422 JAPAN JORF Yokohama - music noted at fair level 1258, then stronger
with JJ talk at 1306.
936 JAPAN - synchros here at 1302 with JJ language announcers and mentions
of Tokyo. Poor level.
1143 UNIDENTIFIED - music heard here at a weak level at 1305, then gone
without the chance to hear any announcers or language clues.
1062 UNIDENTIFIED - very weak talk at 1305, and language unid.
1386 JAPAN - synchros with JJ announcers at 1314. Fair signal.
1143 CHINA - unid. outlet at 1314 with female announcer in CC lang.
666 JAPAN JOBK Osaka - fair to surprisingly good at 1317 with JJ talk and
mentions of Tokyo.
1242 JAPAN JOLF Tokyo - poor in JJ audio by male announcer at 1319.
1322 UNIDENTIFIED - pop music and talk in possible Tagalog (definitely not
CC, JJ, or KK) language at 1323 UTC. Signal was spot-on 1322 kHz, which is
listed in the Pacific Asian Log (PAL) as DXAD in Marawi City, Philipines.
The first sign of 1322 on the Perseus waterfall display was at 1248 UTC,
with burbling audio until rising in strength to fair very quickly at 1309
with pop music. The signal dropped down about 20 seconds later and stayed at
threshold level until 1323 when it was barely strong enough that I could
make a guess at Tagalog language (a lang. I find much more difficult to ID
than Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). PAL says that DXAD is a Muslim co-op
station that carries some Arabic programming and Koran recitations, but I
don't think I was hearing Arabic.
