Quite an interesting morning here. Nothing too unusual in the strong signals line, but quite a quantity of signals in the weaker realms, including a number of Chinese. Unfortunately it was a work morning, but I was up early enough to get some serious listening in, from 1240 to 1310UT, then again from 1345 to just after 1400UT, quite a good sunrise peak at this time.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK, but not this strength until around 1400UT 774 JOUB 828 JOBB 1566 HLAZ, best before the pattern change at 1345UT, but still pretty good afterwards reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 567 JOIK //594 747 JOIB 873 JOGB 972 HLCA 1287 likely JOHR 1503 JOUK //594 peaking at 1401UT 1575 assumed VoA not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 153 R. Rossii 603 HLSA presumed w/mx, at 1550; had seemed //558 earlier 945 CNR-1 //4460 (oddly, 639 wasn't noted this morning, though a number of CC were) 1017 CRI pan-pipe style mx, //5965 at 1255UT 1053 KK jammer, pretty consistent throughout the morning 1134 assumed JOQR, not //972 or 4460 1323 assumed CRI at 1250UT, seemed //963 at times (which wasn't very strong at any time) 1332 JJ talk at 1352UT; JOSF assumed 1422 mx; JORF? 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) : 279 R. Rossii //153 558 seemed //603, so HLQH 612 seemed //594 after 1400; JOLK 702 NHK2 //774 792 mx, DU direction 837 seemed //594 after 1400; JOQK 918 could have been China; SAH on channel also 954 possibly JOKR 963 likely CRI, as seemed //1323 at times when both were up 981 CNR-1 //4460 1008 ? 1152 seemed //774 at 1354, so NHK2 1161 sounded like CC inflected talk by woman; Taiwan? 1188 couldn't get //594; Korea? 1215 ? 1242 JOLF? 1251 good carrier, may have been a couple of stations; think there were CC pips at 1400UT 1269 didn't seem //1287 1314 big carrier, not much audio 1377 CNR-1 //4460, good carrier 1476 continued mystery here; may have been two stations, but couldn't hear a parallel with either NHK2 or CNR2 1602 seemed //774, so NHK2 synchros Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 621 w/hum, 711, 891 1188, 1278 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]
