Hello All, Asian results here this morning were as meager as Dennis' report, although with a slightly different cast of characters. A couple of Chinese stations managed some poor to fair audio for a few minutes, in addition to the usual Korean big guns.
Only 972-HLCA and 1566-HLAZ ever managed good audio this morning (both of them around 1330), and only for very brief periods. A collection of weak Chinese stations on 603, 738, 936, 1377 and 1593 made things somewhat interesting this morning by rotating in and out of the noise during a lackluster sunrise enhancement from 1340-1350, but only a presumed 936-Anhui and 1377-CNR1 ever reached fair levels (and only for a few seconds, each). Both 558-HLQH and its parallel 603-HLSA made weak appearances around 1340, but bailed shortly after that. The Japanese NHK stations were especially anemic this morning, with only 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB managing fair levels around 1345, along with 531-JOQG at a poor level. 1575-VOA was the last Asian to make an appearance this morning, reaching a poor to fair level before all of the TP's dived into the noise in unison around 1400. Overall it was a pretty dreary session, but probably what should be expected in late March of a lean solar year. 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]
