Hi Nick, Thanks again for your TP report from Victoria, and it's always interesting to compare propagation to different areas. << 936 hardly at the booming level described by Gary >> 936-Anhui was only at a fair-good level here this morning, but the signal level was good enough to record part of the English study program on the station. The English speech that you noticed on 936 yesterday morning was being analyzed by a female teacher speaking in Chinese, with the English speech played again for reference. _http://www.mediafire.com/?agrpjdzjcr3f7f6_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?agrpjdzjcr3f7f6) It's also interesting that Walt apparently had NHK on 639 kHz this morning, where here it was all CNR1, with no trace of anything else. The Chinese-favored low band propagation here was also noticed by John B. last year, but last season I was mostly chasing new stations with the 9' loop, and not attempting to check the entire band each morning. 73, Gary In a message dated 10/7/2010 11:00:50 P.M.

Just a few minutes listening after 1400UT here this morning, and generally conditions seemed poorer than yesterday. However, signal strengths were so variable that I might have heard more if I'd listened longer. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB 774 JOUB reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 828 JOBB not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 1287 JOHR 1566 HLAZ 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) : 864 channel was quiet enough to hear mostly a gentle ~1Hz SAH even with the BFO off, but audio was very faint 936 hardly at the booming level described by Gary 1143 Taiwan? also mostly a SAH rather than audio Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1323 1377 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] _______________________________________________ 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]
