Not an astonishing morning by any stretch, but lots of small signals that could provide payback with some digging....a new one here was (were?) the NHK1 synchros on 963, briefly on top with the quiet musical interlude that seems to be played regularly at 1420UT. Listened from 1410 to after 1500UT, and there seemed to be a small enhancement around 1450, though that may have been mostly the effect of domestic splatterers fading down. Generally, signals would peak rapidly to levels noted below, then disappear rapidly also (so results look better than they actually were, being based on spending roughly an hour overall at the radio, rather than a lightning overview).
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 279 R. Rossii at 1451, definite enhancement here; was very poor earlier 594 JOAK 774 JOUB 828 JOBB at 1423 and later, not before 972 HLCA finally by 1440UT reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 576 Mayak w/RR talk at 1437 603 HLSA //558 at similar level w/pop mx, though both channels had other signals mixing in 639 CNR-1 //5030 at 1417 675 seemed VV at 1429UT, not earlier 747 JOIB at 1435UT 873 JOGB //774, but N. Korea turned up later 936 CC talk, likely Anhui at 1436UT, strong carrier 945 CNR-1 //5030 1017 CRI briefly at this level //5965 1575 VoA assumed not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 594 unID mx o/JOAK-594 at 1538 612 JOLK //594 at 1443 621 hum and CC at 1442 666 JOBK //594 at 1431UT, but sounded like RR talk earlier 738 two signals at 1446 792 vocal mx at 1451UT; seemed Asian; China? 918 two stations at times 963 NHK1 synchros //594 at 1421UT; CRI didn't seem to get to this level this morning 981 CNR-1 //5030 1206 Yanbian likely, KK talk, rough audio 1287 JOHR at 1508 , JJ talk 1593 CNR-1 //5030 at 1515 and 1521UT Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : (fair amount of weak upper band activity particularly later) 531 likely JOQG, seemed //594 702 NHK2 //774 and hum 756 not //5030 837 big carrier mostly 855 hum, but talk not //N. Korean SW 864, mostly a big carrier 954 later on 1008 1143 1215 1251 1377, always a big carrier 1386 maybe CC? 1413 at 1514 w/pop mx 1422 at 1505UT 1467 at 1522, likely KBS? (not //774, which would be great DX) 1503 seemed //594 at 1503, so JOUK 1557 deep voiced slow talking man at 1519UT, likely WYFR Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 819 w/hum, 882, 1566 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]
