[IRCA] TP 13 Oct Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Yesterday was a transitional morning all right; I'd say transitioning back into 
the bucket, but hearing several Star outlets from New Zealand is never usual 
here, so, only mildly awful.   Interesting that Bruce wasn't reporting any NZ 
from Grayland...

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

594 JOAK man  in Japanese 1409UT



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

612 4QR rock music //702 1339UT

756 RNZ National woman in DIU English //675, into church sounding choral music.

774 JOUB man in Japanese 1339UT //828

828 JOBB man in Japanese 1343UT, similar strength 1401UT, English news?



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


567 RNZ National choral music //756 1342UT

747 JOIB man in Japanese //774 1343UT



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) 

567 4JK country vocal //612 1409UT

576 2RN ABC fanfare 1400UT

594 Star, laid back vocals //657  taking over briefly from JOAK 1348UT

657 Star, leapt out briefly from behind the splatter 1348UT; //594 and,, later, 
963

675 RNZ National woman talking //756 1411UT

693 JOAB man talking //774 1345UT, creeping through splatter

702 2BL rock music //612 1339UT

837 JOQK NHK1 interlude music 1414UT

837  RNZ National woman talking //756 mixing with JOQK 1414UT

891 JOHK man talking //594 1411UT

909 man mumbling  DU English perhaps, 1405UT; Star? no parallel at this time

963 Star  laid back vocal music //657 1402UT 

972 man talking, perhaps Korean 1412UT

1017 island choral music 1405UT, west Flag only, likely Tonga

1287 man talking,Japanese intonation 1405UT

1566 woman talking, Chinese intonation, 1412UT; big carrier, poor modulation.  
Likely HLAZ?

1593 man talking, Chinese intonation  1413UT


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

873 1053 1242 1323 seemed to be Asian; 
603 855 882 918 936 1026 1098 1458 1503 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

[R. Colin Newell]

... which is a great indicator that on a GREAT day, Victoria, B.C. Canada
can be like
Grayland on an average low day - What Bruce is describing below is Victoria
to
a tee on a GREAT day...

And this morning sucked here... :-)

[Gary DeBock]

My vote is with Nick and Colin.

A predawn band check at 1245 revealed that the Asian carriers were anemic at 
best, and not worthy of further investigation at a local park. Good luck to the 
guys at Grayland, though.

Re: [IRCA] TP 13 Oct Victoria Saturday slumber...

[Bruce Portzer]

I'm at Grayland this weekend with Chuck & Tom.  As is usually the case, 
it was a much different story out here.  There were lots of TP's to be 
heard, with carriers on nearly all of the 9 kHz channels.  About 80-90% 
of the stations were from Japan including many of the low powered NHK 
outlets.  For example, at 1400  963 was a mix of weak NHK1 pips and news 
plus a little bit of CRI. Other NHK frequencies I've found so far 
include 648 990 999 1035 1071 1089 1125 1152 1296 1386 1512 and 1602, in 
addition to the usual suspects.  Some of the Japanese commercial 
stations did well at times, too, with  1179 being an especially notable 
example.


Chinese and Koreans were inaudible or barely there most of the time, 
with 1566 being a major exception.  VOA-1575 was also good around 
sunrise with something in the background (probably an FEN outlet).


There were also a few of the more common DUs, such as 702 891 1017 and 
1503, but they were generally weaker than normal.  I also had something 
on 1611 with contemporary-sounding music, including a Christmas song, 
possibly one of the Vision network outlets.


Two more days to go.

Bruce
