I'm really glad that I took advantage of the October DX, because November sure isn't shaping up very well. Much of what Bill heard at Lubec wasn't even audible here as sunrise approached!
As Colin noted, there was a bit of a lift at the upper end of the band well after sunrise here. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): no, not even remotely Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): still pretty remote not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese at 1532UT was the best this could manage. Hadn't even started to show audio traces until around local sunrise. 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) 531 rock music, man talking, maybe DU English 1446UT. Really weak, but not much interference there 594 JOAK man in Japanese? 1459UT; weak pips on hour clinched it 612 4QR after some mumbling over the previous 15 minutes, finally heard the fanfare and likely "ABC news" by man at 1500UT 828 man and woman talking, possibly JOBB 1429UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 693 747 774 891 972 seemed to be Asian; 1017 1098 seemed to be DU best wishes, Nick Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC 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]
