Unlike Dennis, I was rather impressed with what I heard. I have to break it into 2 sessions. I didn't start until 13:16 (although the faithful Perseus was at it from 12:58). Between 13:16 and 13:41, I band scanned from 531 up to 1701 using my "W" wire exclusively (334 deg), and from 13:42 to PAST 14:00! I used either my ALA 100 or S wire (244 deg). I found plenty of good audio on the bottom half of the band. "Early" indicates Asian reception...ie CC, KK, or JJ while "late" will indicate DU reception. "6" unless otherwise noted: 531 (late) 558: 7 early 567: 8 early, 7 late (to explain further, this indicates 2 different stations with an Asian station early, and DU later...got the picture?) 576: 7 early, 9 late (ABC at 13:46) 585: 7 both early and late 594: 8 early (NHK1), and 6 late 603: 9 early 612: 9 late (Brisbane). Still an 8 at 14:03! 621: 6 (seeing 2 carriers on Perseus: 621 and 620.908) early 639: 7 early 6 late 657, 666: early 702: 6 early, 7 late 711: 7 early 720: N. Korean easily visible on Perseus early 738: CC early at 8, 2NR Grafton 8 at 13:51 (late) 747: JJ early at 8 756: 7 early (music) and 6 late 765: 6 early 774: 9 early JJ, 7 late 783: 6 early 792: 8 early KK, 8 late (Brisbane) 801, 819: early 828: JJ at 9 early 837: 7 early 846 855: N. Korea at 7.5 early 873: JJ at 8 early 891: 7 early, 7 late (4TAB?). This alone indicates good conditions as usually 891 is wiped out by my local (only a few km from me and aimed right at me) Village 900. 963: 9 early with CC programming (not the CRI RR) and cochannel music, 6 late 972: As close to a perfect 10 as possible with KK chanting (heard the same yesterday, I think) 1008: 8 with music early 1017, 1026, 1044: all early 1053: KK talk >> jamming at 13:34 (early) at 7 1143: 7 early 1161: early at 6, late at 6 (?NZ) 1170: CC cochannel KPUG at 7 early (13:37) 1188: early 1278: 7 early 1287: 7 early 1314: early 1322: just the faintest of carriers for Guy's mystery station at 13:38 1440: JJ at 8 early (13:40) 1503: 6 early and late (13:59) 1566: 7 early (13:41) with HLAZ 1575: VOA at 7 early (13:41) 1665: 6 level audio from DU late...first time this season 1701: 6 level audio at 14:00 (late) with 3 carriers almost equal strength on Perseus SDR: 1701.006, 1701.031, and 1701.048. Overall, then, a very decent morning. Will look forward to hearing how John Bryant, and perhaps Colin did this morning! .....Walt _______________________________________________ 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]
