As Gary observed, definitely a better morning than the last few, and, with dedication, a lot of DX could be dug up. Splatter was bad in spots, and I often found the DX wasn't quite up to the carrier levels. Listened from 1355 to 1435 UT, when, unfortunately, getting ready for work interfered even more than the domestics did.
Darn good audio (at least at peaks): 558 HLQH at 1419 //much weaker 603 594 JOAK (someone weaker underneath at 1411UT) 657 N. Korea, KK talk w/hum 774 JOUB 828 JOBB (someone weaker underneath at various times) 963 CRI: RR at 1358, down on the hour of course 1242 JOLF at 1402UT 1575 VoA reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 189 and 279 R Rossii; 279 stronger 531 JOQG //594 540 CNR1 612 Tagalog talk trading places with JOLK at 1430UT 639 CNR1 666 JOBK //594 711 KK talk, presumably HLKA 747 JOIB. This seemed undermodulated, as big a carrier as 828, but not the audio punch 756 CNR1 along with ? at 1422 873 JOGB //828, along with hum and traces of N. Korea? 954 JOKR 972 HLCA, usual big carrier 981 CNR1 1053 Korean jammer 1161 two stations, one had chimes as it faded down to the hour, likely Taiwan 1287 JOHR plus something else 1377 CNR1 and ? 1422 JORF w/JJ talk 1566 HLAZ, big carrier, very readable but not quite big audio not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 153 R. Rossii 603 mx, not //558; at other times, HLSA was there. 738 Taiwan //1143 at 1424 837 JOQK //594 936 likely Anhui 1008 buzzy hum; is there a jammer here? 1044 likely CRI 1116 EE talk at 1433 likely 4BC 1134 CNR1 dominant an slightly delayed from 5030 at 1424UT; JJ and KK earlier on 1143 Taiwan Fisheries 1215 not //CNR-2 1305 likely KBS-1 1314 hum plus weak talk; who is off channel here? 1503 JOUK //594 at 1429UT Burbles in the splatter and noise: 1089 and too many to list Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 576 (no Russia today?), 1548 best wishes, Nick ********** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ 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]
