With over 50 channels in audio at times, this mornings session was one for the win column. It might have had something to do with a fresh new antenna, A W/NW Flag at 286 degrees remotely adjusted with a Connelly VACTROL unit -- or just that the conditions were just gosh darn good.
Last night there were some signs of TA activity in Victoria with 2 threshold carriers (that started with a tip via e-mail from DX veteran Nick Hall-Patch.) Anyway - onto the logs - with lots of video! Session went from 1305 until 1410 when I packed it in -- and there was still a lot of activity - but my warm bed summoned. 1308U - 558 - (UNID) OM talking in the "fairly clear" which was most likely Japanese but could have been Korean 1312U - 972 - KBS - Korea - bell ringing levels with usual KK talk and occasional solemn music - https://youtu.be/zHjCUK-bWr0 1314U - 860 - CBC Prince Rupert - Coastal weather - at amazing levels completely clear on channel. https://youtu.be/n9lA97XUcuo 1315U - 890 - KBBI Homer Alaska - alone on channel with BBC radio content 1317U - 1566 - FEBC Korea - JJ OM at impressive levels - likely the best signal of the morning - https://youtu.be/7gB5hOGsD7I 1322U - 873 - NHK - JOGB Kumamoto - EE/JJ lessons above the local buzz on this channel 1323U - 657 - DPRK - Pyongyang - 1st time I have heard this in a LONG time with strident YL harangue in Korean 1326U - 1098 - UNid - China? - Strident YL-OM in Chinese / no question about the language / def. not Korean or Japanese 1327U - 1575 - VOA - Thailand - banging in at times pushing passed 1566 for strength supremacy 1330U - 1053 - S. Korean jammer - usual stuttering mess of garbage with the occasional appearance of a relaxed Japanese speaking OM - https://youtu.be/aS_lWrOjPLY 1331U - 702 - Mix of 2 or 3 things scrapping it out on channel. 1333U - 639 - CHR1 - assume the strident CC YL with occasional bits of orchestral music later - // 1098 Khz 1335U - 1017 - Tonga (t) assume the Island flavored music here at good levels - 1340U - 846, 855, 864, 873, 890, 891 - tune up of activity on channel (at this point there were over 50 channels in audio -- one of the times that an SDR for later analysis would be cool - but you would spend hours replaying various segments of spectrum - This is where "live DXing" is at its most fun! -- https://youtu.be/Bq014_M_lYU --- Cutting this into 2 sections lest it get rejected. -- *Colin Newell is the Editor and creator of Coffeecrew.com <http://www.Coffeecrew.com> - Coffee.bc.ca <http://Coffee.bc.ca> and DXer.ca <http://www.DXer.ca> -| Amateur Radio VA7WWV | Twitter.Com/CoffeeCrew | Victoria B.C.
