[IRCA] TP 28 Aug Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

A certain lack of DUs this morning, but a first appearance from one 
of the CRI stations and of VoA on 1575.


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


 1566 HLAZ man in Japanese 1247UT




Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


972 HLCA woman and man in Korean 1246UT
1566 HLAZ nice bit of local sunset enhancement 0959UT, fading up to 
this level with man in Korean, mention of FEBC, 3 and one pips on the 
hour followed by a jazzy interlude.  Didn't get to this level again 
until the Japanese broadcast after 1230UT




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


738 pop vocal 1236UT
747 JOIB man in Japanese 1206UT, //828
774 JOUB 1153UT man in Japanese //828
954 JOKR man and woman in Japanese 1305UT
963 CRI presumed with woman in Russian 1244UT
1053 Korean jammer, also local sunset 1000UT; at this level a number 
of other times closer to 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)


594 man talking, Japanese inflection 1242UT
828 JOBB woman in Japanese //774 1053UT and several times closer to 
local sunrise.

1287 man and woman talking, Japanese inflection1144UT
1575 VoA traces of Yankee Doodle 1300UT


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


   702 873 891 945 981 1035 1098 1107 1116  1134  1143 1179 
1242  1314 1332 1422 1503



best wishes,

Nick

Stan,

Congrats on the TA's with your new radio.  Last night around 0300 Z, 162, 171, 
216, and 252 were all nicely audible. I captured some great recordings here in 
Michigan, too.  It was fun reviewing them today. Scott

I'd expect your 153 to be Algeria. Look for them also on 252 with Ireland.
I don't DX LW so my appologies if the Algerians are no longer.

Yep, WJMP-1520 Kent was deleted August 1 per the licensee's request.  Kent is 
only 23 miles north of Canton, home of WINW on the same frequency, so even 
before there were day pattern books, I knew that I could forget about hearing 
WJMP down here.  WINW, as you might guess, was heard often.

Hi All:
Just a note from recent travel. WMNY, 1150, New Kensington, PA, is, contra 
Barry's list, on. Noted yesterday w/Black Gospel mx while passing through 
Pittsburgh. At 1750 was playing a gospel countdown show. However, WGBN, 1360, 
McKeesport, was not heard so apparently is still off. Also no sign of WAVL, 
910, Apollo so I wonder if they aren't off again. Nothing else of note, but I 
was wondering about one of my few unheard (here) Ohioans. Is WJMP, 1520, Kent, 
off and gone. I used to hear them regularly at s/off in Port Huron but they are 
so directional I knew I'd never hear them here. So if they're gone, I can stop 
trying. If they're gone, that would leave me with 4 unheard Ohios, 1000 in 
Parma the 1350 in Celina, 1380 in Lorain and the 1460 now in Cleveland. It 
would also mean that, since I logged the old 1080 in Sydney just after we moved 
here, as well as WPAY, 1400, WFRO, 900, the 900 Canton, the 1040 in North 
Ridgefield and the 1500 Youngstown, I have now heard more Ohioans than are 
currently operating.
