Was particularly bleary eyed this morning it seems, as it took awhile to realize that the best antenna had broken in the night, and it wasn't possible to find the problem in the dark. DXed with what I had (the northerly Flag), and must say that conditions seemed quite odd until about 1415UT or so, meaning that even the big gun Japanese were down, signals were erratic, and 594 for example was battling with something else with an oriental sound to it. At around 1415 however, things settled down to more normal, but didn't seem as good as yesterday. Quit listening a little after 1430 as a result.
pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 279 R. Rosii 558 KK talk, so HLQH, but not at this strength until 1423UT 594 JOAK , not until later 774 JOUB later 828 JOBB later 972 HLCA the biggest station of the morning until the big Japanese recovered later on. 1575 VoA reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 189 R. Rossii 567 JOIK //594 at 1406 612 JOLK //594 at 1420 747 JOIB but not until 1415UT 936 likely Anhui at 1408UT 1566 HLAZ, maybe peaking up a little higher later not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 585 JOPG //594 603 2 stations 621 CC talk 702 N. Korea w/ubiquitous hum 756 3 and 1 pips at 1400, likely HLKA; CC pips underneath 846 NHK1 synchros //594 873 JOGB //774 945 CNR-1, but at least one other, didn't seem to be NHK1 1017 CRI, operatic singing //5965 1377 CNR-1 //5030 Burbles in the splatter and noise: 153, 657 (mostly hum), 1098, 1269, 1278, 1287 plus others not noted, as they were only around for a few seconds at a time Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1251 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]
