Another interesting morning....I don't think signals lasted as long today; there was a bit of a grinding to a halt at around 1520UT, and I didn't stick around to see if there was anything more. I'd heard enough by then!
I'm not sure signals were quite as strong this morning, at least on the upper half of the band (even there, a nice lift after 1500UT), yet when I look at the results, they must have been similar to yesterday. Mostly, the quantity of DX was a function of the amount of time spent listening, and, it being Sunday, I was able to listen from 1345 until things fell apart. Is anyone else hearing the Chinese on 1476? There seem to be at least two there with about a half second offset, and at some points this morning they were fairly good; but for awhile before 1500UT, it seemed there was only one with music. Faded as the hour approached of course, but I heard offset pips faintly, then CC sounding talk resumed, with obviously two signals offset again. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK 747 JOIB very occasionally 774 JOUB 828 JOBB 972 HLCA later on 1566 HLAZ during JJ broadcast earlier, but quickly came back by 1415UT during the CC program 1575 VoA at 1505UT, a strong fade up just after 1500 reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 279 R. Rossii 567 JOIK //594 and better than 594 earlier on 945 CNR-1 man in CC //6030 at 1516UT, best of the morning, and may even have briefly been in the top tier 1206 Yanbian, very murky but strong at 1406UT 1287 JOHR (at 1516 this was //954 with what sounded like "Amazing Grace" instrumental??) not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 189 R. Rossii 531 //594 so JOQG 558 HLQH dominant //603, but talk underneath likely JOCR, at 1417UT 576 RR talk by woman at 1457, Mayak 603 HLSA // 558 639 CNR-1 //6030 648 VoR at 1442 in 650 splatter 819 N. Korea at 1454 w/choral mx //2850 837 CC talk 1445 954 JOKR w/JJ talk 1377 CNR-1 //6030 at 1443UT, CC talk 1476 likely China w/instrumental mx at 1440UT, and a SAH; offset pips at 1500 followed by out of sync CC sounding talk 1503 JOUK //594 at 1511UT 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) : 585 JOPG //594 at 1431UT 621 China?? 675 VoV? at 1446, big carrier 702 NHK2 //774 along with hum (from N. Korea?) which was quite strong by 1448UT 864 the big carrier delivered a little JJ sounding audio at 1411UT 918 CC inflected talk at 1455; nothing before this 981 CNR-1 likely, as seemed //6030 at 1411UT 1017 CRI //5965 at 1422UT 1134 no idea; too much 1130 splash 1242 likely JOLF? 1323 just traces, mostly a good carrier 1332 started delivering a little mx at 1458UT; JOSF? 1386 not //NHK2 at 1430; talk didn't sound CC, but pretty weak.. 1422 JORF? Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 711, 855, 1251, 1278, 1314, 1359, 1557 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]
