A quick listen at 1420UT didn't yield much of interest, and I can't say that conditions at 1500UT astonished either, yet with time spent listening, odd things popped up, not strong at all, but definitely DX. As Dennis noted, CNR-1 on 1134 made another appearance, though I didn't hear it until late, but it was the only thing heard on that channel. 855 yielded CNR-2 with the only sign on N. Korea being a slight roughness on the carrier; no hum. And 639's CNR-1 was generally quite strong this morning as well, often much better than the big gun Japanese.
pretty darn good audio, at least briefly (all of it understandable by a native speaker) 594 JOAK, but not until 1512UT 639 CNR-1 from 1459UT on 774 JOUB reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 828 JOBB 972 HLCA , later on not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 567 JOIK //594 603 SAH and 2 stations, one seemed HLSA per later 558 // 675 likely Vietnam from 1515 on, no SW // available 747 JOIB 783 music, Asian direction, at 1525; no idea 855 CNR-2 //7245 at 1517UT 873 JOGB //774 at 1507 1134 CNR-1 at 1528 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) : 558 a mess at 1540; seemed that something was //603, so HLQH 576 612 JOLK //594 at 1534 657 hum and seemed //2850, so N. Korea 666 a mix, one was //594 at 1531UT, so JOBK 702 seemed //774, so NHK-2 pair 756 a mess, later on 765 mx at 1521, no idea 918 CC inflected talk 945 messy, couldn't winkle out a parallel to 5030 963 a mess 1143 a couple of audios? 1269 at 1536UT; 1287 down, so no // 1287 at 1534; hardly much worse one hour later 1566 finally, at 1535UT 1575 Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 864, 1098, 1251 Incidentally, though yesterday was pretty much a washout, listening to an SDR-14 recording at 1300UT yielded CRI on 603, not a big signal and it is a relog, but I still can't believe that this southern China, directional south, signal can be heard here at all, let alone during poor conditions. 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]
