Re: [IRCA] TP 2 Jan Victoria version.
Nick, my comment in Masset this morning was that I was hearing a lot of 2nd tier stations on primary channels. In other words, the primaries weren't that strong, leaving things open for others. As I was in the tear down mode (deconstructing 5 antennas), mostly in the dark, I didn't have a lot of time for hands-on listening. The wav files are there, though. I did note NHK 1 IDs at 10:00 UTC, though, on some frequencies. Interesting, though a little harder to follow than the NHK 2 network, for my ears. No obvious sign of Farda/jammer this morning, though by then, I was down to just the WNW BoG. 73, Walt On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 5:53 AM Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > Already, the year has started downhill, hi.

Already, the year has started downhill, hi. No, not that bad, just not as lively as yesterday. NHK2 off again at 1440UT today, so noted them, as carrier strength was at least as good later. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK 1559UT 774 JOUB 1440UT s/off 945 CNR1 man in Chinese 1614UT; parallels noted earlier, as was another station with piano music Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): 747 JOIB 1441UT s/off 828 JOBB 1440UT s/off 972 HLCA 1543UT; not the barn burner that it was yesterday 1287 JOHR man and woman in Japanese 1557UT 1566 HLAZ man in Russian 1651UT; much reduced strength by 1700UT but VoA ID heard then not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 567 JOIK //594 1602UT 603 HLSA man in Korean 1604UT 621 ballads 1558UT, Chinese pips on hour, but with ballad accompaniment.

Definitely extreme minimalist today.

A pretty limited morning. HLAZ faded up nicely to the last few notes of the piano music played at the Japanese program s/off at 1344UT (woman in recognizable Japanese from 1341UT)The Chinese program that followed faded very erratically for the next 15 minutes, but never amounted to much, then faded away. The big carrier on 1017 that showed up after 1500UT? Maybe Tonga left their transmitter on? best wishes, Nick ___ ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com
