[IRCA] TP 31 Jan Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Once more into the bucket, dear friends (with apologies to Shakespeare, who 
likely wasn't a DXer, and with conditions like this morning, who could blame 
him?)



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

not in the slightest




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

the above passing through





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

too much to ask for




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 JOAK man talking, very weak and ragged but clear enough to guess Japanese 
1459UT; rewarded at 1500UT with pips

1017 man talking, perhaps island language 1518UT, likely Tonga




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

747 972 1593 seemed to be Asian; 
 891  seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

Ultimately, that or another Kiwi WebSDR will be located at Masset in the Haida 
Gwaii - which is an awesome location for some great DX early warning data 
gathering. 

I’m looking forward to better radio conditions and a higher MUF - looking at 30 
MHz of largely empty spectrum is depressing.

Not a lot of audio this morning, but lots of carriers




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


774 JOUB peak at 1457UT with woman singing followed by woman in Japanese
1566 HLAZ female vocal 1552UT; earlier  and later, there was Chinese 
talk, but at weaker level.   Although quite readable after 1600UT 
(along with CNR1-1593), did not last very ong






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


594 JOAK peak at 1555UT man in Japanese
1593 CNR1 peaking at 1536UT, CNR1 news sounder, and man in Chinese; 
also 1556UT man in Chinese //6125



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


the above passing through





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)


693 JOAB woman singing //774 1457UT
774 3LO assumed 1445UT; see 3GI below
828 3GI assumed; another man talking quickly took over from JOBB 
below, and was //774 where 3LO took over from JOUB; 1444-45UT

828 JOBB man talking //774 which was stronger, with man in Portuguese 1442-3UT
891 man talking, DU English intonation 1445UT
972 woman talking, possibly Korean? 1555UT
1422 man mumbling 1528UT, couldn't guess language in splash, though 
seemed more Japanese than Chinese





Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)
603 666 909 918  981  1044 10981134 1143 1179  1206  1242 1278 1313 
1323  1332  1359 1386 1494 1503 1557  1575   seemed to be Asian;

Nick, I got up early this morning for the action, and to see if I could
hear reactivated PNG Bougainville on 6020 and 3325.  Alas, MW was terrible,
as you observed, and PNG was not active, unlike the previous morning :-(

A very poor morning indeed. Exactly two audios over a two+ hour period.




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


nope




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



1575 woman in SE Asian language 1528UT, a few notes of Yankee Doodle 
at 1529UT, and Voice of America ID by man





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


738 assumed Tahiti w/pop music 1350UT




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)


the above passing through




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or

Sunrise enhancement was pretty minimal, with possibly HLAZ making a 
little noise, but a couple of DU's brightened things up earlier, 
and  maybe one lonely Asian .




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



no...


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


and, no



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



738 likely Tahiti.  Rock mx noted at this level 1329 and 1435UT


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)


774 3LO?  vocal country mx at 1329UT sure didn't sound like NHK2, 
more likely Saturday Night Country from ABC
972  HLCA?? man talking 1416UT, really too weak to guess at language; 
at 1421UT came back for a bit, with a woman murmuring agreement to 
said man, which does sound a bit like Korea

1566 woman talking 1525-9UT, but again too weak for a language guess.




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

1530UT when a small enhancement started to occur,


an interesting concurrence Nick. I was watching for FT5ZM on Amsterdam 
Island (Indian Ocean midway between Western Australia and Madagascar) this 
morning on 160mover a 5 minute period between 1530 and 1535, his signal 
built from nothing to almost 579, we worked and  60 seconds later he was 
gone. Looks like we enjoyed the same 'peak' which for the FT5 was right on 
our common grayline.

Re: [IRCA] TP 31 Jan, Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Some years ago, I did an article for QEX on being able to use 
overseas MW stations as possible indicators of enhancement on 160m 
Steve.   I think you may have helped prove the point, and Bob Brown 
would have immortalized your contact in an article if he was still 
going strong.   That's pretty near antipodes DX isn't it?


Of course, maybe, judging by your DX, I should have checked for India 
on 1566 around that time; although HLAZ was peeling the paint just then.


For future reference when firing up on 160m, maybe you should check 
out http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/test/display.htm for real 
time signal strength updates from this part of the world on MW, and 
see if you can find some other good DX.   I aim it west during the 
overnight hours until sunrise, then shift to north for daytime and evening.


best wishes,

Nick

That's pretty near antipodes DX isn't it?



yes...very very close which makes me wonder if this is more of a 'normal' 
dawn enhanced antipodal occurrence and less to do with the grayline as their 
sunset was almost an hour earlier than our sunrise. It's encouraging  that 
their signal pops-up every morning on 160m like clockwork, right at our 
sunrise and then vanishes shortly thereafter...too bad their wasn't a MW 
outlet there to see what it does at the same time!



For future reference when firing up on 160m, maybe you should check out 
http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/test/display.htm for real time 
signal strength updates from this part of the world on MW, and see if you 
can find some other good DX.   I aim it west during the overnight hours 
until sunrise, then shift to north for daytime and evening.


Yes...I have checked it out a few times when I hear some TA carriers to see 
what it is indicating. I don't really have a proper BCB antenna, other than 
my 160m wire, but am thinking about some sort of loop.

Except for occasional snippets from 738 and 1566, things were quite 
dismal from 1300 to getting on 1530UT when a small enhancement 
started to occur,  lasting for not much more than 10 minutes.



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


HLAZ (who else?) man in CC 1533UT



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


738 Tahiti woman in FF 1402UT

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


567 JOIK man in JJ 1534UT //594 which was weaker
603 HLSA? female ballad 1544UT, possibly woman in CC mixing
774 JOUB s/off chimes 1542UT


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) :


747 JOIB s/off chimes 1541UT
1314 DWXI? man preaching? 1534UT
1557 man talking 1541UT CC? Taiwan assumed
1575 VoA assumed, man in SE Asian language? 1533UT  best on N. Flag

Again, not a good morning, but there was a sunrise enhancement, just 
not spectacular, and almost all upper band.   Listened around 1440UT, 
1515UT and after 1530UT, and am beginning to get a deeper 
appreciation of the variety of electrical noises on offer these 
mornings, at least three different types.   A whole new hobby awaits.


(Oh, as for the possibility of 612 being //738 yesterday, my 
recording said no, so possibly 738 was Tahiti, as Dennis noted this morning)


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

none



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

1575 presumably VoA, best of the morning at 1550UT w/ woman in SE 
Asian language talking to a man on the telephone by the sound of it.



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be

understood by a native speaker:

774 JOUB music box s/off at 1524UT
972 HLCA woman in KK 1544UT; also noted weaker at 1557UT

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 JOAK? woman talking, JJ inflection?  1556UT
828 JOBB mx box s/off at 1522UT
1593 CNR1?  woman mumbling, sounded //6125 at 1555UT


Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):
