*I'd hazard a guess that signals on the west coast of North America were down a touch today - Good sunrise enhancement and a couple*
*of small surprises and oddities.* *Youtube Reel - <goog_2009315312>*https://youtu.be/XY6aFEoctNk *529 Khz* 1255Z Alaska Aero weather - at really good levels (I need to start checking for one of the other Alaska voice beacons...) *531 Khz* 1302Z UNID - with some domestic buzz on here, getting anything is a struggle - still, heard some murmurs. *558 Khz* 1256Z UNID - occasional peaks with some music and talk - could not establish parallel with anything *567 Khz* 1258Z NHK1 JOIK Hokkaido network programming- at times fair – if anything, a tad softer than yesterday *594 Khz* 1300Z NHK1 JOAK Tokyo - solid // to 567 with network programming - all morning long but weaker than yesterday will the occasional deep dive *603 Khz* 1303Z KBS2 Seoul - Happy FM (t) Korean pops - actually better than yesterday - with clear and crisp talk *657 Khz* 1304Z DPRK (t) Occasional words and martial music in the mud - way down from yesterday. *666 Khz* 1305Z NHK1 JOBK Osaka // 567 and 594 fair to good at times *675 khz* 1307Z UNID - Good signal / low modulation - could only guess at language... so I won't *756 Khz* 1309Z UNID - mucky jumble of signals here *828 Khz* 1312Z NHK2 - JOBB - Osaka - One of the more steady signals of the morning - very good on peaks *864 Khz* 1317Z UNID - 837, 846, 855 and 864 are my top teasers when conditions are good. One often hears content at threshold or in a muddy mix and little intelligence. *873 Khz* 1318Z NHK2 - JOAB - Kumamoto - // to 774 JOUB Akita - about the same as yesterday *891 Khz* 1340Z UNID - really good signal around the LSR rush but often in music or mumbling commentary *945 Khz* 1337Z UNID - somewhere mid-way on the YouTube reel a good snippet of what this sounds like - in the 950 Khz splash *954 Khz* 1337Z TBS JOKR Tokyo (t) Fair to good at times today - caught it square in the LSR boost *963 Khz* 1337Z CRI China (600kw) - Russian again - same as yesterday - this is a regular now - often at impressive levels *972 Khz* 1338Z KBS Korea HLCA - *Best of band this morning* I think - featured on YouTube reel. *1017 Khz* 1316Z - CNR - China - Korean programming – *1044 Khz* 1316Z - CRI - China - Japanese (pretty sure) International programming – *1053 Khz* 13XXZ - Korea S. - Jammers - Not quite its bullish self this morning - but always in S7 to S9+ *1098 Khz* 1318Z - UNID - CNR (likely) very, very animated CC YL/OM commentators with bouncy Chinese opera style programming *1179 Khz* 1331Z - UNID - Operatic style content -- on the YouTube reel - at quite good levels *1188 Khz* 1331Z - UNID - on the YouTube reel - at quite good levels with musical content *1116 Khz* 1339Z - *UNID* - Pretty clear "Chinese" sounding dialect for around 4 minutes *1242 Khz* 1340Z - JOLF (t) Tokyo - pretty much always there - one of the two "1200 to 1300" anchors *1287 Khz* 1342Z - JOHR (t) Hokkaido - the other anchor in this 100 Khz spread *1323 Khz* 1307Z - HUGE! Open carrier (I should have checked for CRI parallels but didn't...) This was reported this AM from Washington state. *1503 Khz* 1331Z - JOUK - Akita (T) pretty solid // to 594 Khz *1566 Khz* 13--Z - HLAZ - Korea - some great signals on the YouTube reel this morning and once again, no sign of jamming or naughtiness. *1575 Khz* 1331Z - VOA Thailand - crystal clear Lao at times - reliable as gravity and the #1 pick for Thailand on the west coast - no surprise with 1000 Kw *RADIOS - Drake R8 | Antennas W/NW Flag | Wellbrook FLG100 Head | NHP Online DX Spotter* -- Colin Newell - Editor and creator *of *Coffeecrew.com <http://www.Coffeecrew.com> and DXer.ca <http://www.DXer.ca> - VA7WWV | Twitter @CoffeeCrew | Victoria - Canada _______________________________________________ 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]
