Hello All, Propagation wasn't exactly thrilling this morning but several low band Japanese big guns did show up, with 594, 693, 747 and 774 reaching fair to good peaks at various times during a short session from 1305-1350. 1566-HLAZ was at similar strength around 1305, but it fizzled along with other high band signals as daylight increased. Other than HLAZ the Koreans didn't seem very impressed with the propagation, though, and the regulars on 603 and 972 stayed down in the noise. At my 1305 start time both 747-JOIB and 774-JOUB were at good strength briefly, while 1566-HLAZ's Japanese Christian service was in and out at a fair level. Increasing daylight around 1330 brought the Japanese on 594 and 693 out of the noise, but it tended to snuff out the signals from 1566-HLAZ and the threshold audio on 1575 and 1593. 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB both managed fair to good peaks around 1345 but that was the high point of the lackluster session, with Asian signals slowly collapsing afterwards. Best signal of the modest session was from 747-JOIB around 1325, reaching a brief good level in the Puget Sound mystery noise. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Japanese male speech at a fair to good level at 1344 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/a27lixvwg57i4i9/594-JOAK-1344z032515CCSW.MP3 747 JOIB Sapporo, Japan Japanese female speech with fair to good peaks in Puget Sound-wide mystery noise at 1326 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/vfx2odygf1opmjd/747-JOIB-1325z032515CCSW.MP3 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 17" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
