Rockwork, OR TP report for 7 October, 2012: Down, but not out. All Asia As I had mentioned earlier, I got out to the Rockwork HWY 101 turn-off, just south of Cannon Beach, OR at about 12:45 UTC. On the way there, there seemed to be some hets on split frequencies, but not as strong as yesterday morning. SF 98, A 4, K 1. Note that minor geomagnetic storms are forecast for the next 24 hours reaching G1 levels, so perhaps this explains the sub-par conditions this morning.
153 Radio Rossii at 6 level, // to 279 at 7 level 558: HLQH, // to 603 at 14:15 in Korean 594: JOAK at 9 level at 14:14, and again at 14:30. Very strong! 603: 6 level HLSA at 14:15, // to 7 level 558 639: CNR 1 China at only 7 level this morning, compared to multiple echos yesterday morning on same frequency at 8 to 9 level! 657: 9 level North Korea at 14:13. Very nice today! Also at 8 level earlier at 13:33 693: JOAB Tokyo particularly strong today with English lessons at 14:13, and still at 9 level at 14:29 with more English lessons. 738: 8 level Taiwan Fisheries at 8 level, // to 1143 also at 8 level at 14:23, but not as strong as yesterday. 774: JOUB Akita, at 9 level at 14:12. By comparison, 747 was really struggling with strong cochannel interference earlier this morning. 828: JOBB Osaka. Only 7.5 level today, compared to 9+ armchair yesterday! 837: Strong station at 13:36. Despite strength, I’m not sure who exactly this is 846: A difficult channel. I’m seeing a carrier on 845.258, relatively strong, as well as 3 carriers on 846.000, 845.987, and 846.010. Not sure whether the first channel is real, or something that’s being generated within my set-up. Looks real to me. 864, 873: Only threshold today. 873 was well heard (JOGB, Kumamoto) yesterday. 891: Pretty strong, but seemingly very low modulation, so couldn’t tell for sure who this was. At 14:26 900 KNUI, Kahalui at very good level at 13:57, with some 910 splatter. 940: KKNE Waipahu at 13:57 with All-Hawaiian music. Very good 9 level reception. 1008: 7 level at 14:09. Still 6 to 7 at 14:34. ? CNR1 or was this Taiwan? 1017, 1044, 1053: all only 6 level 1134: Presumed KBS, Kimpo at 14:24 7 level. 1143: 8 level Taiwan Fisheries at 14:23, // to 738 1287: 7 level JOHR, Sapporo at 14:07, and still going at same level at 14:35. 1332: 6 level only 1566: HLAZ at 7 level briefly at best today. That wraps up my time in Cannon Beach. I’m sure that Gary will have a lot of interesting loggings when he comes down here in November! 73, Walt Salmaniw _______________________________________________ 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]
