It was primarily a big gun TP session here this morning as Asian propagation took a slight step backward from the past two days. 594, 693, 747, 972 and 1566 all managed S9 peaks for brief moments during a sharp daybreak boost around 1340, but unlike yesterday, second tier Asian audio was tough to track down
A predawn band heck at 1030 had the NHK big guns on 594 and 693 in and out at S7 levels, so it seemed like another Japanese-dominated session was in store. Around 1300 the Asian propagation was about the same, though, and lacking the decent signals on 603 and 738 that had shown up on Saturday and Sunday. 1566-HLAZ's Japanese service joined the NHK big guns with S7 signals around 1315, although nothing else on the high band was in audio at the time. 603-HLSA and a presumed 738-BEL2 finally managed weak audio around 1330 but neither could maintain it for more than a few seconds at a time. 594, 693, 972-HLCA and 1566 all received sharp daybreak boosts around 1340 to reach S9 peaks in and out, but the other Asians dropped off quite a bit in comparison to yesterday. Hopefully the shifting conditions brought in some DU propagation for Craig in Kalaloch, but that's a hopeless possibility at this mediocre location. 972 HLCA Korean oldie music at S9 level at 1335 (Chris Kadlec says that this station's format caters to the "mature" segment of listeners) https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/p7wd2r4n29d5rlsyekmz7rbotbfv4quz 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave SSB Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ 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]
