This was an "I have no idea why this is happening" morning. Started listening at 1245UT, and HLAZ was holding down 1566 very nicely, and continued that way for the next 20 minutes or so. 1287 had weak audio on an Asiatic bearing. And then, all other audio (mostly quite weak) was below 900kHz, and entirely DU. Geomagnetic conditions have remained pretty quiet, but there was a slight burp in the solar wind density and speed, but nothing compared with some recent excursions, so no obvious explanation (to me) of this best DU morning since probably last fall.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 702 2BL at 1249UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 594 3WV //702 612 4QR //594 at 1259UT 846 DU sounding talk by man; likely 2RN, though for some reason no signal on 792 which is generally more likely here. 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) : 747 seemed //612 w/man talking at 1306UT, so 4QS 738, didn't seem //702, so Tahiti? 774 also seemed //612, at 1313UT, so 3LO 855 //702 at 1303UT, so 4QB/4QO 1287 Asian bearing, likely JOHR; done by 1255UT Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 639 DU, 1053, 1098, 1475, 1575 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]
