[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 22 January 2015

[Nigel Pimblett]

   As others have noted, Walts conditions moved south today, and this 
was the the most interesting day of the year.  Someone mentioned it was 
like October, and I'd have to agree.  I had quite a bit of action on the 
X-band from Australia, something I generally never get in January, but 
quite often in Sep/Oct.  I listened from 1430 to 1500, and in general 
the upper band was better, but it began to fade by 1450, whereas the 
lower band stations (mostly only carriers) improved after that.  Apart 
from the audio listed below, lots of carriers, with a number close to 
audio.   Oddly enough the Japanesee on 747/774/828 never reached audio, 
and weren't even overly strong as carriers.

594     JOAK, Japan     Woman in Japanese at 1443.  Pretty weak, but
                        still the best in weeks (months?)

693     JOAB, Japan     Fist noted with a poor signal at 1445, with
                        woman speaking, but gradually rose to good by
                        1455, again, the best for ages.

801     unID            Traces of music noted at 1446.  No idea who
                        this might be.

1242    JOLF, Japan     Woman talking in Japanese at 1445.   Mostly
                        poor to fair, but up to good for brief spikes.

1422    JORF, Japan     Weak, with talk in Japanese by a man at 1445

1566    HLAZ, Korea     First observed at 1433, then mostly fair
                        throughout the session.

1575    VOA, Thailand   Fair to good with woman in Burmese at 1435.

1584    unID            Traces of music at 1444.

1593    unID            Traces of audio at 1436, but never got any
                        better.

1611    unID            Traces of man talking at 1451.

1629    unID            Traces of audio at 1440.

1638    unID            Talk by a man at 1449.  Too weak to be sure of
                        language, but Arabic would be my first guess.

1701.07 R.Brisvaani, Australia
                        Presumed the one with south Asian music at
                        1444.   Another station on 1701.02 rose atop
                        briefly at 1449 with traces of music.
