Hello All, In general the Asian TP's lost some of their audio strength compared with yesterday, but there were several interesting signals, including one UnID mystery. Again DXing from 1325-1350 in the back yard (thankfully dry this time), the high band superstations like 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA had fairly good audio, but not like on great mornings. The overachieving 1575-AFN station was nowhere to be heard. 1053 kHz had a weak mix of two stations at 1330 (one of which was apparently JOAR), and 1134 kHz had a stronger mix of JOQR and the KBS Korean for most of the listening session. 1503-JOUK had fair audio around 1345, but the 1476 kHz carrier (almost in audio, yesterday) was very ane mic this morning here. The star of the morning was probably 1377-CNR1, which dominated the frequency at a healthy level for most of the morning. At around 1333 (while playing electronic instrumental music) the Chinese station had a weak co-channel TP on the frequency with apparent Korean language, although the co-channel was only around for about a minute, and there was no real chance to check any parallels. The weak co-channel can be heard in the beginning of this recording at 1333, mixing with the Chinese station's instrumental music (but neither station's signal was earth-shaking at the time) _http://www.mediafire.com/?ztmnrn2zzzj_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?ztmnrn2zzzj) . As usual this week the TP signals dived in unison around the 1400 TOH, with bright sunlight cutting short the mediocre Puyallup version of sunrise enhancement. But here in late March, it's probably best to be thankful for what TP's we still have, especially in this modest location. 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) Main receiver: Modified Tecsun PL-380 (7.5" loopstick) 7.5' (side) PVC-frame tuned passive loop (in the back yard) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
