A vigorous morning, including even something sounding Chinese on 1305kHz. On the other hand 657 hardly delivers anything here, I suspect because of the combined splatter from 660 and 650, and I just rarely dig around there when there are easier pickings elsewhere. Peak signals seemed to be from 1420 to 1440UT approximately, and a number of channels seemed to have a couple of signals on them. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 567 JOIK man in Japanese 1420UT //594 which was much weaker, and continued so for some time 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1447UT, but often weaker than this 774 JOIB English lessons 1438UT 828 JOBB English lessons 1421UT 972 HLCA man in Korean with another agreeing 1420UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 558 HLQB woman in Korean //603 (which was poorer) 1431-2UT. 738 Taiwan Fisheries, woman in Chinese //747 JOIB English lessons 1423UT 774 JOUB English lessons 1437UT; this never quite made it to the top tier today not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 603 HLSA ballad //558 1424UT, soon faded under man in likely Chinese 639 CNR1 news //6125 1431UT 693 JOAB English lessons 1427UT 837 man in Chinese 1432UT CNR5? 963 CRI woman in Russian //1323 1422UT 981 CNR1 woman in Chinese //639 1424UT 1098 CNR1 man in Chinese //981 1426UT 1143 Taiwan Fisheries woman in Chinese //738 1441UT 1287 JOHR man and woman in Japanese 1442UT 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1452UT 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) 531 JOQG man and woman talking //594 1425UT 585 JOPG ballad //594 1436UT 603 China? man talking, Chinese intonation 1424UT, fading above HLSA 612 man talking, DU English intonation 1428UT, but perhaps there was some NHK1 in there, just as there might have been some 3WV on 594... 666 JOBK man talking //594 1423UT 711 man talking through 710 splash 1422UT; Korea? 756 CNR1 man talking //981 1425UT 864 pop music not //1287 1421-2UT 918 woman talking, maybe Chinese 1431UT; big carrier again, but little audio 945 a mess with at least a couple of audios, one maybe CNR1, the other with music; a mystery, as not //NHK1 1432UT 1089 orchestral music, man talking, Chinese intonation 1430UT CNR6? 1305 instrumental music 1425UT; also 1429UT, music finishing, man talking Chinese intonation, 1430UT 1323 CRI man talking Russian? //963 1422UT 1503 JOUK woman talking //594 1439UT 1593 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1458UT //6125 Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 621 648 657 702 891 909 936 1008 1035 1053 1107 1134 1161 1206 1224 1242 1251 1269 1386 1575 seemed to be Asian; 576 621 702 846 891 1017 seemed to be DU best wishes, Nick Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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

What was that word? Erratic. And definitely inferior to the last few days. I'm sure 972 and 747 et al popped up for a moment or two with good signals, but I didn't catch them. Lots of interesting carriers, just on the edge of audibility is the best I can say. Sunrise enhancement concentrated in a couple of minutes around 1422UT. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ man in Japanese 1303UT.

Again erratic, lots of good carriers. and lots of quality splatter. Some digging led to the following, but I wouldn't say it was an easy morning here, less so than other mornings. Things had mostly died here by 1440UT, but there were Philippine channel carriers around 1430UT, and maybe a bit of action on 1377 then. In fact there was a bulge of signals around 1430UT, (really, two stations on 711??) but hard to nail things down. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1424UT 774 JOUB lots of times, right from 1000UT 828 JOBB also quite a few times, not quite so ubiquitous as JOUB Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 558 HLQH man in Korean //603 1429UT; seconds earlier it was a man talking rapidly sounding Japanese 747 JOIB woman in Japanese 1405UT //774 not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 567 JOIK woman singing 1424UT //594 639 CNR1 man in Chinese 1420UT; heard typical news sounder at 1432UT 972 HLCA man and woman in Korean 1401UT 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1423UT 1575 VoA likely, man in SE Asian language 1423UT 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) 603 HLSA man talking quietly //558, mixing with something else with music 1429UT 612 unID music w/ JOLK underneath, Japanese woman //594 1438UT 702 NHK2 man talking //774 1103UT 711 woman singing, with another station fading up and down with woman talking 1433UT 945 CNR1 man talking 1431UT //639 1287 man tlking, possibly Japanese 1411UT 1323 man talking 1416UT 1377 relaxed woman talking 1430UT, maybe Toli-Toli given the appearance of strong carriers at the same time on 1215 1314 and 1512 1386 NHK2 woman talking //747 1412UT 1503 JOUK woman singing //594 1448UT 1557 slow vocal music 1428UT 1593 NHK2 woman talking //774 1428UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 864 918 954 1008 1017 1026 1035 1098 1116 1215 1269 1314 1422 1512 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

Another morning of the ol' regulars, sometimes quite good, but not even carriers on anything else for the most part.

Re: [IRCA] TP 6 Mar; Victoria version
Well, dreary described this morning well, Gary. Three audios, all very weak, woman talking on 738 (possibly Tahiti), 594 w/another woman talking, possibly JJ inflection, and 828 w/ a man talking. These were heard at different times between 1420 and 1440UT, with no apparent enhancement at all.The geomagnetic conditions don't look that bad, but DX conditions sure arethe late winter anomaly?

I'm surprised he didn't hear the low band NHK2s, as that's practically all I heard, Both of the low-band NHK2 big guns suffer from major splatter issues here, so they have trouble being heard even on decent mornings. 747-JOIB is peppered with 750-Portland splatter (a daytimer here), and 774-JOUB is usually mangled by 770-Seattle. This morning's TP results here were a dreary repeat of yesterday, but without any unusual audio from 1575-VOA. It only reached a poor-fair level around 1425, along with similar audio from 972-HLCA at the same time.
