A different planet indeed, Bruce. The low band was far more impressive than the high band here today.
I plan to do some interplanetary travel this afternoon, hopefully with re-entry around 3:30 PM. 73, Gary -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Portzer <[email protected]> To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Feb 22, 2014 8:51 am Subject: [IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on 22 Feb Conditions today were, in many respects, much like the past few days. Unlike some recent days, there was a very pronounced sunrise enhancement that lasted from about 1435 to 1450. HLAZ-1566 was the big standout today, with a nice signal for several minutes. Otherwise, there were lots of carriers at the high end, many with weak audio, and almost nothing at the low end of the dial. Good - A native speaker would have understood most of it for brief periods 1566 HLAZ, woman in Chinese 1440-1453, mostly poor-nil otherwise Fair - A native speaker would have understood a few words Nobody Poor - Recognizable program content 747 JOIB, woman/man 1254, language lesson 774 JOUB, Man in Japanese 1151 972 Faint bits of talk/music 1248 & 1327 1332 Music briefly audible 1446 1422 Music/talk 1445 1503 Woman talking 1451, not sure of language but probably JOUK 1557 Bits of audio, sounded like music 1442. Carrier almost as strong as 1566 but audio was weaker and there was more splatter 1575 Reasonably decent carrier but very weak audio 1446 1593 Talk poking through the KLFE splatter 1443, not sure if CNR or NHK 1602 Woman/man talking 1442, much 1600 splatter Carriers 1314 1323 1404 1413 1431 --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
