Hello All,
As both Richard and Walt have reported it was an excellent morning for TP
signals, especially from the big guns in Japan and Korea. The usual NHK
powerhouses on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 were especially strong, and several
second-tier Japanese showed up with fair audio on 891, 1134 and 1287. The
Korean big guns on 972, 1053 and 1566 were also very potent, with 972-HLCA
managing another monster signal at 1325. 1575-VOA also produced its strongest
audio of the new season here, with female-male Asiatic language talk around
1320.
Plenty of secondary Chinese frequencies were in audio here this morning, but
very few of them rose up to a vibrant level. 603 (presumed Hulun Buir) was in a
moderate mix with HLSA at 1333, and 639-CNR1 was the best of the Chinese with
good male-female speech at 1338. The secondary Chinese on 756, 918, 927, 936,
1017, 1035, 1044, 1143, 1323 and 1377 kHz were playing hide-and-seek all
session long, and typically would come up with poor to fair audio as long as
the MP3 recorder wasn't around (they would all seem to dive at that point).
1143 was monitored closely for any identity clues, but whenever it came up to
fair audio, 738-BEL2 would be down in the noise. 657-Pyongyang had some kind of
weird Korean play going on at 1345, which unfortunately was one of the
strongest TP signals late in the session. I was hoping that 657-Henan would
rise up and shove it off of the frequency (as happens occasionally here in
September), but there was no such luck this morning. Overall it was a !
great session for the Asian big guns, but pretty modest for digging out good
audio from the second-tier Chinese.stations.
603 HLSA-China Mix Moderate TP mix of the male-voiced HLSA and the
female-voiced Chinese at 1333
