I have noted that the languages I've heard from NHK2 don't correlate well with what PAL lists, at least with some of the previous versions of PAL. Right, no luck with a lot of the Pacific Islands this time.

[IRCA] Early Kona action - November 23 2009 0900UTC on
I have decided that it is not really suitable calling the reception that we are having in Kona, Hawaii TP's because they are not trans-pacific at all - that are half-pacific... HP's. Kind of an early warning location for potential reception. Anyway - last night was very interesting... and here is the closest thing I could come to a top to bottom scan and what I generally hear... 0858 UTC 531 - an obvious NHK JJ w/ nothing else on channel 540 - Samoa dominating but w/ a variety of other stuff pushing through... hints of CC later on (within 40 minutes...) 0859 UTC 567 - NHK JJ all the way.. 576khz in Russian (in the clear), 594khz became JJ by 0920UTC, 603khz - KK, 612khz nothing, 620khz domestic, 639khz CC after about 0930 - and nothing of consequence on 640khz 0900 UTC 648 - was just a big het on 650 Honolulu but later grew to sound somewhat FS in some lang other than CC or RR - 0901 UTC - 657 - DPRK - this signal just grew and grew w/ KK martial harangues 0902 UTC - 666 - NHK - JJ all alone. 675 was clearly JJ (NHK1) 0903 UTC - 702 - Open carrier, 711 very big KK, 738 HUGE CC overpowering RFO Tahiti which was the anchor on the channel only an hour earlier. 0904 UTC - 747 - NHK loudest NHK signal a good 15db louder than 774 w/ EE news and features. nothing much up to 819 which was a rock solid KK station (NOrth) 0907 UTC - 855(v) The N. Korean ruling the channel, 873 was JJ-NHK and 882khz was solidly CC programming. 0908 UTC - 891 - a mix of stuff with CC dominating (JJ underneath) - last year it wa Thailand all the time on this channel. 909khz was all-CC, 918Khz was a jumble, 927khz was CC assuming Taiwan by the flavor of the programming and the mentions of Taiwan and Taipei... 954khz almost always JJ City programming 0911 UTC - 963 - a surprisingly quiet channel earlier into the evening - 972khz clearly ruled by the Korean - 0912 UTC - 981 - H-h-h-uge CC and PARALLEL to 999khz, 1008khz in JJ, 1026khz in CC 1035khz a big rumble of off-frequency stations 0915 UTC - 1053 - not sure who the pop mx station, 1071 in CC, 1089 CC, and 1098 Marshall Islands getting hammered by a CC station 0917 UTC - 1116 - interesting ethno-asian sounding chants - could be CC or JJ 0918 UTC - 1125 - Russian speaker of all things...nothing listed in 2009 WRTH - 1134 - Japanese - Tokyo I assume, 1143 a mess, 1152 in lang... 0920 UTC - 1152 - Spanish... not kidding... no mistaking. Russia FS? - 1161 - CC Opera , 1170 a jumble, 1197 in CC, 1206 jumble, 1215khz - jumble, 1242 in JJ, 1260 in JJ, 1278 in CC, 1287 in JJ, 0926 UTC - 1305 - KK, 1314-mix, 1323 CC Opera, 1332 jumble, 1341 in CC, 1350hz in CC, 1359khz in CC, 1368 jumble, 1377khz in CC, 1395khz jumble, 1386khz in Lang (NZ?), 1404khz in CC, 1413khz in JJ, 1431 in JJ, 0934 UTC - 1440 JOWF all the time, 1449khz jumble, 1467 Unid, 1476khz jumble, 1485, 1512 also jumbles... 1521khz OC, 0939 UTC - 1548 Open carrier, 1557khz CC, 1566khz KK, 1575khz jumble, 1584khz jumble, 1593khz Russian w/ CC underneath Whew that is a lot of typing on a keyboard the size of a slice of bread...
