Started listening about 1410UT today, and though I wasn't wildly impressed at the time, I did come away with a better impression that Bruce did, and even than John did, when I think about the differential of our sites/antennas. Any morning that I hear Farda-1575 has a little bit going for it, though it has become fairly common in the mornings.
Some of my better loggings are probably due to the DX Fishbarrel way of looking at things. 576 and 603 for example were at their good strength very briefly, and I was able to pounce on them before they faded. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 576 Mayak; had heard the chimes fairly weakly on the half hour, then it faded up to good strength at 1434UT 594 JOAK 603 HLSA //558 w/CC talk underneath at 1447 639 CNR-1 //5030 at 1504UT 747 JOIB at 1508, mostly in the murk before 774 JOUB 828 JOBB 828 mystery mx, o/JOBB which had RR at the time //774 (to confuse the issue). This at 1437UT reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 279 R. Rossii 558 HLQH //603 both w/other stations underneath 738 two stations at 1502; I can't seem to snag the Korean that others are hearing here 936 likely Anhui at 1505UT w/CC talk 972 HLCA 1575 R. Farda o/VoA on north Flag at 1427; checked w/webstream 1575 VoA not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 567 JOIK //594, but underpowered this morning 621 CC talk, not much hum 648 mx not //7355 or 6145 which had CC talk 675 presumed Vietnam, later on 945 CNR-1 //5030, but at 1505, there was another CC there as well... 1026 mx at 1507; no ideas 1287 JOHR (it was also still a good carrier at 1730; almost audio?, but then nose-dived) 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) : 531 JOQG //567 549 Mayak //576, maybe something else; hard to tell in 550 splat 585 not //594 657 presumed N. Korea 666 a mess, seemed //576 some of the time, so Mayak 918 two stations on channel? 954 presumed Japan 981 CNR-1 //5030 1008 could have been //5030; CNR-1 has been heard on this channel on the coast 1152 1188 1242, mix of 2 stations? 1251 1269 1503 JOUK //594 Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 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]
