From 1345 through top of the hour, things were in pretty good shape still favouring the long haul -
Although I did not do a comprehensive band sweep with written loggings, here is an example of how things were shaping up. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- KHZ COUNTRY STATION DATE TIME DETAILS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 531 JAPAN JOQG, Morioka, NHK1. Nov 1 1345 – sounded like a location broadcast //567, 594, 666, etc [CN-BC] 603 CHINA Nov 1 1346 – Alone on top with the CNR1 program with preachy Chinese woman. [CN-BC] 639 CHINA CNR1 Nov 1 1347 – Chinese talk with YL and OM at good levels [CN-BC] 657 CHINA/DPR KOREA Pyongyang Nov 1 1347 – Same hypnotic content, same unusually good signals this Fall. [CN-BC] *675 China/Japan/VIETNAM RGD Nei Menggu/Voice of Vietnam/NHK . Nov 1 1348 – Easy three-some with double echo Chinese YL pontification, followed by Japanese* *speaking YL/OM in the background and in the same minute a Lao/Vietnamese sounding lady surfaced. This is indicative of the deep continental reception we have been getting into Asia this season. [CN-BC]* 756 CHINA various, CNR1. Nov 1 1349 - Chinese OM at very good levels. [CN-BC] 837 CHINA Harbin, RGD.

Nov 1 1356 – At chunky levels and still audible on Honda Civic car radio when pulling into University of Victoria parking lot at 1455 UTC [CN-BC] This was something of a glimpse, a skim, a snapshot of this morning - what's clear is: This has been a good season. It's been an interesting season. We have been getting way more than just coastal Japanese and Korean stations showing up at our antennas - this is deep continental penetration. One can only imagine some of the stuff that is surfacing at the coveted coastal locations and in Hawaii (Good luck Gary!) I'm holding out for a single Philippines station but will accept something more exotic. *Receiver - Drake R8* *North Flag / West Flag Wellbrook FLG100's X 2 Purpose built remote VACTROL antenna termination controllers.* *MISEK/LANKFORD/RATZLAFF Purpose built Phasers* -- 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 IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com
