Once again Victoria propagation proves that it is in a higher league than the pitiful Puyallup variety. Around 1430 a weak 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA managed to come out of the noise, but neither one stuck around for long. Carriers on 693 and 774 were close to audio but never quite made it. For once the high band was shut out here, without even a carrier on 1566, 1575 or 1593. Increasing daylight resulted in decreasing Asians, with all TP audio gone by 1515 here. Of course the DU's avoid this location like the plague, having made their sole appearance (probably for the decade) on October 10th. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna

There was also a bit of a boost around 1330UT, but that seemed to favor New Zealand rather than Asia. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 and 594 were close; in a splatter free world they would have made it. Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK man in Japanese, NHK1 theme music 1509UT 774 JOUB man and woman in Japanese 1528UT, then man in English. This one held out fairly well until the middle of the music box s/off after 1540UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 819 man in DU English 1333UT, likely New Zealand, and would have been perfectly readable but for 820 splash 828 JOBB man in Japanese, 1506UT, //774 972 HLCA man in Korean 1507 and 1522UT 1116 4BC man in DU English; phone in program 1521UT Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) 1017 woman talking, island language? 0958UT, fading to unreadability by the hour 1107 man talking, maybe DU English 1334UT 1386 ballad 1339UT 1566 woman talking, sounded like HLAZ Japanese program s/off 1343UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 612 837 864 873 891 1134 1143 1512 1548 best wishes, Nick _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
