<< Conditions this morning were generally modest, as Gary put it. But here, Chinese stations were down and some of the NHK stations were doing well, which sounds like the exact opposite of what Gary reported. Even so, the NHK stations had their ups and downs in terms of signal strength. The highlight today was hearing JOGK-756 //594 >> Hi Bruce, I guess one of the reasons why this hobby is so fascinating is because propagation can be so selective, favoring one area at the expense of others. Last year John was puzzled how I could receive the low band Chinese at such strength, and I was puzzled how he could receive the Japanese and Koreans on the high band (that I had no trace of). The same selective propagation seems to be continuing when your results (and Tom's) are compared with the Puyallup Valley situation. 73, Gary In a message dated 10/5/2010 8:53:40 P.M.

Even so, the NHK stations had their ups and downs in terms of signal strength. The highlight today was hearing JOGK-756 //594. The following stations were noted 1325-1410 Good audio, at least for brief periods JOAK-594 Good on brief peaks, but mostly fair-weak JOAB-693 Briefly JOIB-747 Good at times, and for longer periods than 594 JOUB-774 Loud at times S Korea-972 Sometimes good, mostly fair-poor Fair audio, some of it understandable by native speakers, at least briefly JOIB-567 Good signal, but difficult copy due to KVI splash N Korea-657 JOGK-756 at about 1347 JOBB-828 Yanbian-1206 HLAZ-1566 Poorer than normal Weak audio China-756 Replaced JOGK at 1407 recheck Unid-1035 Probably China w/weak talk S Korea-1053 Unid-1287 Bits of talk, probably Japan VOA-1575 mostly just a carrier _______________________________________________ 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] _______________________________________________ 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]
