Hello All, The Asians managed another lackluster session this morning, with decent audio limited to the big guns. A halfhearted sunrise enhancement boost around 1350 failed to bring in any unusual stations, and the few TP's that did show up bailed early around 1410.
At the 1305 start of the session the Asian signals were still mediocre, with only 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB and 1566-HLAZ managing fair audio in and out of the noise. These three big guns held down the fort until around 1335, when they were joined by 747-JOIB, 774-JOUB, 828-JOBB, 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer at equally anemic levels. Around this time a halfhearted Japanese trend seemed to be developing, with even 531-JOQG reaching poor to fair audio at 1345... but that was the high point for the Japanese, and all of the NHK signals except 594-JOAK hit the skids after that. The lackluster sunrise enhancement boost around 1350 did bring in 603-HLSA (with its weak Chinese co-channel), 648-VOR and 657-Pyongyang, but you needed to be on the right frequency at the right time to catch their ghostly audio for a few seconds. On the high band 1503-JOUK, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 joined 1566-HLAZ with fair peaks in and out of the noise from 1350-1400, but none of them sounded very energetic, and! none of them stuck around for more than minute at a time. Like yesterday the entire collection of anemic Asians packed it in early around 1410, with 594-JOAK the last survivor to dip into the noise. Best signal of the morning was from 594-JOAK, which actually hit a few good peaks during the mediocre session around 1345. Overall it was a pretty forgettable morning, with the Asians lacking in strength and variety. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) C.Crane SWP 7.5" Slider loopstick Ultralight + 12" Experimental FSL antenna _______________________________________________ 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]
