Hello All, Once again it was the low band Japanese big guns on 594, 693 and 747 managing vibrant signals during sunrise enhancement, with very few other Asians sounding healthy. A brief check of the band around 1300 did reveal potent signals on 1287 and 1566, however. Around 1300 a quick scan of SSB carriers on the ICF-2010 spotting receiver revealed both 1287-JOHR and 1566-HLAZ at strong levels, although in general the band didn't seem to feature anything more than the usual big guns in audio. At my 1400 start time outdoors 1287-JOHR was still at a good level (in bad 1300-Tacoma splatter), but it soon fizzled, along with 1566-HLAZ. The increasing daylight brought both 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB up to very good levels after 1410, and although 558-HLQH was managing fair peaks in 560 splatter the usual Korean regulars on 603 and 972 were missing in action. 747-JOIB also rose up to a good level // 693 with Japanese female speech around 1415, but that was pretty much the story for a vey limited selection of Asians. Both 594 and 693 continued the diehard effort until 1430, when they also sunk into the noise. The middle and high band were anemic indeed during sunrise enhancement, with only a few weak peaks from 1503-JOUK (// 594) around 1425. Such was the story of another NHK big gun revue. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Japanese male speech and interval music at a very good level at 1411 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/rudd1sz11nn3afx/594-JOAK-1411z030715CCSW.MP3 693 JOAB Tokyo, Japan Japanese female speech at a very good level at 1414 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/2a16hpfbnudpq63/693-JOAB-1414z030715CCSW.MP3 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
