Hello All, Asian propagation rebounded quite well here this morning, with potent audio from the Japanese and Korean big guns right from my 1240 start time. Second-tier TP's were very anemic, though, similar to what Dennis reported. A lackluster sunrise enhancement didn't help matters, and the Asians bailed out fairly early. At my 1240 start time the NHK big guns on 594, 693, 747 and 774 were all managing very good audio in and out, along with 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer. The only second-tier Asian to rise above the noise at the time was 738-BEL2, though, with the other usual low band Asians on 603 and 657 missing in action. The high band was also fairly comatose, with only 1566-HLAZ rising weakly above the noise. This situation continued right up through 1350, with the Japanese and Korean big guns sounding very healthy while everything else was anemic at best. The 1053-Jammer went on a romp around 1321 to peg the PL-380 at the 25 maximum, while both 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB were hitting strong levels all session long. Sunrise enhancement around 1400 was another fizzler, however, managing only to raise threshold audio from 603- HLSA and 657-Pyongyang. These two bailed out after a few minutes, while 738-BEL2 finally packed it in for good after anemic appearances in and out of KCBS splatter for over an hour. Best Asian signal (by far) of the Big Gun Revue was the 1053-Jammer at 1321, hitting an excellent level to max out the PL-380's S/N display. 693 JOAB Tokyo, Japan Strong English NHK2 English lessons at 1312; in and out at this level all session long (along with 594, 747 and 774) http://www.mediafire.com/listen/bjddnzt21h06svg/693-JOAB-1312z102314PL380.MP3 1053 Korean Jammer Monster buzz at 1321; equals seasonal best signal (of last Saturday morning) http://www.mediafire.com/listen/6s5vzliwpk3rv6w/1053-Jammer-1321z102314PL380.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
