Hello All, Like Dennis and Colin reported, TP propagation may have been slightly better this morning, but not by much. A general scan of the band (on the 9' box loop) looked like this: 558 JOCR fair at 1358 585 JOPG good at 1359 594 JOAK strong at 1352; very strong at 1410 603 HLSA strong at 1403 (mixing with Chinese co-channel) 621 Pyongyang fair in KPOJ slop, 1403 639 CNR1 strong at 1357 648 VOR threshold audio at 1404 657 Pyongyang strong tirade at 1405 666 JOBK strong at 1406; no sign of Russian 675 VOV good signal at 1407 693 JOAB fair at 1408 738 Taiwan Fisheries a solid "9" at 1410; no KBS co-channel 756 CNR1 weak at 1410 784 China threshold audio, 1411 792 UnID China threshold 1411 891 JOHK fair at 1412; no Thai co-channel 918 China fair at 1413 927 " 936 China strong at 1414 963 Threshold audio 1415 972 HLCA strong at 1355 1035 UnID Chinese weak at 1416 1053 Jammer/ China mix fair at 1400 1107 Very weak music at 1418 1125 Threshold audio at 1417 1134 Strong signal from KBS at 1419; no co-channel Higher Frequencies: No time to investigate My main targets for the morning were 1107 and 1125 kHz, both of which had threshold audio rising to mediocre levels at peaks. No TP's have been logged here on either frequency. 1107 plays a lot of music and has very little speech, while 1125 has weak Chinese-sounding talk. With such mediocre conditions, these two frequencies have been dragging out their UnID mysteries for three days straight. Hope that John and Guy had better luck in Grayland today. 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) Main receiver (this morning): Modified C.Crane SWP ultralight (7.5" Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 9' PVC-frame tuned passive loop (in the rainy back yard) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
