Hello All, The Asian TP signals seemed fairly healthy this morning, at least in relation to previous days. Most of the usual high-band Asians were vibrant, and a few weak surprises showed up. While DXing from 1330-1350 in a wet back yard, the 7.5' loop had strong carriers on both 1475 and 1476 kHz around 1335, as mentioned by Nick yesterday. The 1476 carrier was close to audio, but never could quite seal the deal. The frequency is pretty noisy here, with the Korean-language local 1450-KSUH having the dubious distinction of having been disciplined by the FCC for maintenance issues in the past. 1503-JOUK had strong audio at 1340, as Dennis reported. Checking 1575 kHz for a sign of the presumed AFN signal, sure enough some dance music from the station was pestering VOA-Thailand again at 1342, for the second day in a row. Like Walt says, it's amazing how this low-powered network's signal gets out, but I've yet to hear any programming except repeated pop music, with a fadeout well before the 1400 TOH. This morning was typical, unfortunately. 1494 kHz had a very weak signal in apparent Japanese here around 1350, but nowhere near strong enough to check a parallel. Except for a healthy signal from HLAZ-1566, that was pretty much the story for an above-average March TP morning. 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) Main receiver: Modified Tecsun PL-380 (7.5" loopstick) 7.5" PVC-framed tuned passive loop (in the rainy back yard) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
