Gary - It's a poor signal so I can't be sure. I think it's Aussie English and think he says "ABC" at :08. Chuck To: [email protected]; [email protected] From: [email protected] Subject: [IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Cape Perpetua) Ultralight TP's for 8-24 Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2014 21:37:07 +0000

Since this is normal cliff-side weather, however, the weather preparations for the radios and 15" FSL generally allowed the DXing session to proceed normally. The FSL and its PVC base were tied down securely with 175 lb. test plastic tie wraps, although the clipboard-mounted log sheets took flight during a severe wind gust. In general it was an Asian morning here on the Oregon coast, with extremely potent signals from several Japanese and Korean big guns. 531-PI's overwhelming signal was a notable exception, with the 5 kW Kiwi fighting it out with an apparent 531-JOQG before sending the NHK1 station into total oblivion around 1312. 1566-HLAZ had a meltdown-level signal for both its Chinese service sign off at 1229 and its Japanese service sign on at 1230, while 657-Pyongyang, 972-HLCA, 1134-JOQR and 1593-CNR1 were all vibrant. The mysteries of the wild morning were a mix of Chinese and apparent DU English on 684 around 1324 and a mystery TP station (in an unknown language) all alone on 639 right before the propagation folded at 1402. Hopefully Asian language experts can listen to the MP3's and provide some suggestions. Overall, it was a very thrilling session-- in more ways than one. 531 PI Auckland, NZ 5 kW Blowtorch level signal at 1248 after finally dispatching an anemic JOQG http://www.mediafire.com/listen/r74s7ufdr8jcgzu/531-PI-1248z082414PL380.MP3 531 PI-Mix Apparent mix of the Samoan-language Kiwi station and JOQG around 1142 (higher voice is PI) http://www.mediafire.com/listen/xnu4pru9ifwvwaf/531-PI-mix-1144z082414PL380.MP3 603 Namyang, S.
