Hello All, As usual Bruce's propagation in Seattle seems to be at odds with what showed up here. A fairly sharp sunrise enhancement after 1400 boosted the usual Japanese big guns on 594 and 693 up to very good levels, along with a few weaker performers on 603, 657 and 1053. The frozen back yard featured quite a few Asians in audio at my 1400 start time, although none of them sounded very energetic. The 1053-Jammer made a brief appearance at 1401 for the first time this new year, but at an anemic level. Around 1410 the NHK big guns on 594 and 693 hit their stride, rising up to very good levels in and out until around 1430. 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang both came out of the noise to reach a weak level during sunrise enhancement but couldn't stick around for more than a few seconds at a time. The high band sounded dreary for the duration, with only a rapidly fading 1556-HLAZ showing up at the 1400 start time and an equally anemic 1575-VOA around 1425. The only vibrant audio of the session was from the NHK regulars on 594 and 693-- for the third day in a row. Not much variety, but who can be picky in early March? 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Japanese male conversation at a good level around 1428 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/j0585w0y4e585j8/594-JOAK-1428z030815CCSW.MP3 693 JOAB Tokyo, Japan Very good level with female-voiced English and Japanese during English lessons at 1423 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/0fmq86zmdrlrjuo/693-JOAB-1423z030815CCSW.MP3 1053 Korean Jammer Anemic jam session at 1401; first appearance of 2015 here http://www.mediafire.com/listen/9tei8yz8yotu8gn/1053-Jammer-1401z030815CCSW.MP3 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
