Hello All, As Colin and Dennis have reported Asian propagation was much improved from yesterday's clunker session, with the usual Japanese and Korean big guns being joined by weak second-tier TP's on several frequencies. With the exception of 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB, the 1053-Jammer and 1566-HLAZ Asian signal strength generally wasn't very impressive, though, indicating that the conditions still need some improvement before returning to the interesting conditions of Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The Asian big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828, 972, 1053 and 1566 were all around with fair to good audio at my 1250 start time, with 594, 693, 1053 and 1566 hitting very good peaks at times. The first sign of daylight around 1330 brought a weak mix of 603-China and 603-HLSA out of the noise, as well as a fair-level signal from the 531-JOQG mentioned by Colin. 657-Pyongyang and 738-BEL2 also both managed anemic signals around 1340 in the domestic splatter, while 1044-CRI and 1134-KBS both came out of the noise with lackluster signals around the same time. After a modest sunrise enhancement boost around 1350 the high band sounded better than it has for some time, with 1566-HLAZ (good), 1575-VOA (fair) and 1593-CNR1 (fair) all in and out of the domestic splatter with decent audio for a few seconds each. Unlike last weekend there were no monster runs of the low-band Asians on 603 or 738, though, and most of the TP signals started sliding into the noise around 1420. The second-tier Asians that did show up this morning were far from vibrant, and didn't hold audio for very long. Best signal (very good) of a pretty routine session was from the 1053-Jammer around 1344, giving the domestic splatter a serious buzz. 1053 Korean Jammer Potent jam session at 1344; best Asian signal of the morning http://www.mediafire.com/listen/z4nwc44ivvd2h5v/1053-Jammer-1344z101614PL380.MP3 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick Tecsun PL-380 Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
