Hello All, With the exception of fairly potent signals from 972-HLCA and 1566-HLAZ during the predawn darkness there weren't very many strong Asians this morning, and the mediocre sunrise enhancement propagation seemed to favor the Japanese more than the Koreans. For the first time in quite a while, 603-HLSA failed to manage any audio here.
1566-HLAZ and 972-HLCA had the best signals during the predawn darkness prior to 1315, with both having good peaks in and out. The 1053 Jammer and 1134-KBS were also managing fair audio at the time, and it seemed like it might be another good morning for Korean signals. Propagation changed with the increasing daylight around 1330, though, and the Koreans slowly slid down into the noise, to be replaced on the low band with a collection of fair-level Japanese big guns on 594, 693, 747 and 828. The usual regular 603-HLSA never made it above carrier level, bailing with the rest of the Koreans around 1330. 594-JOAK was the strongest signal on the band for an extended period (1330-1345), reaching brief good peaks along with 693-JOAB. Nothing close to exotic surfaced for the entire session, and even the Japanese made an early departure around 1350. Overall it was a pretty lackluster morning, with the total absence of any audio from 603-HLSA very unusual here. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) C.Crane SWP 7.5" Slider loopstick Ultralight + 15" 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]
