Monitored between 12:36 and 13:55 UTC. Conditions were very Asian with many CC stations audible. The JJ seemed subdued initially but really picked up after 13:15. My highlight was 1251, more about that one below. A modest DU appearance on the usual frequencies, but not great. Of great interest to me was that my 334 deg antenna totally dominated until well after 13:00. My 244 deg corner fed loop, and 232 deg ALA 100 were absolutely dead until almost 13:30 when they came alive with the DU reception. Weird! Anyway, here are my findings, with, as always "6" unless otherwise stated. SF 69, A5, K1. I started at 1701 and went down from there.

CC woman and lot's of music at 12:50. Thought it might be VOR in CC. No IS, though, at 13:00. Instead TP followed by tone at 13:00. Improved past 13:00 from 7 to 8 level. Wonder who this could be? 1278 and 1287: both 7 erly 1314, 1323, 1332, 1377, 1458, 1475, 1512 1521: 5 level, but 2 signals on 1521.000 and 1520.908 1557 1566: 9 level HLAZ at 12:36 1575: 8.5 initially VOA and later up to 9 1593: 7 level CNR X-band Dead today. That's it for this morning. A worthwhile effort for sure! ......Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC _______________________________________________ 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]
