I got up early enough to listen in real time today. Which was fortunate because a computer issue prevented the SDR from recording. I guess it's time to dump Vista and try Windows 7.
HLAZ-1566 had by far the best signal, and the only one that was consistently readable. It seems to have fixed its audio problems from last season. Several others produced decent audio at times, but the strength was very much inconsistent. A few frequencies like 801 and 1431 produced tantalizing hets (see below). No audio was noted, but they might be worth watching as conditions pick up in the coming weeks Here are the stations that were noted from 1320 to 1335 UT Good audio, completely or mostly understandable by a native speaker, if only briefly 774 JOUB 972 Korea (second best) 1206 China (briefly) 1566 HLAZ (the best) Fair audio, some of it understandable by a native speaker, if only briefly 594 Japan 693 Japan 747 Japan Weak audio, recognizable content but not quite readable 828 presumed JOBB 1134 Talk 1332 Japan 1422 Japan 1475 presumed Sabah, with het from 1476 Carriers & hets, some with real or imaginary traces of audio 549, 567, 621, 639, 648, 738, 756 (trace audio), 801, 909, 936 (audio traces), 981, 1053, 1179, 1269 (nothing noted on 1278/1287), 1431(a screamer), 1575 Bruce in Seattle Drake R8A with Wellbrook K9AY _______________________________________________ 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]
