[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on October 26

2018-10-26 Thread Bruce Portzer
This morning's TP DX seemed promising when I stared at the screen in 
real time at 1330 today.  But it turned out to be a bit on the dull side 
when I went through the files later.  There were lots of things to be 
heard but they weren't all that strong.  And for some reason the locals 
were more splashy than normal.  Oh well, there's always tomorrow.


558    S KOREA, KBS 10/26 1348 fair light pops & woman in Korean //603, 
weak unid in background probably Japan


567    JAPAN, JOIK, 1326 interview in Japanese, didn't sound //594 fair 
w/much KVI splat


594    JAPAN, JOAK, 1400 man talking across ToH in Japanese.  It sounded 
like he said "beautiful micrograph" at 1300:05 but I'm probably mistaken


603    S KOREA, 1400"Happy FM" jingle and Korean woman just before ToH, 
then time tone.  Not as good as yesterday


603    CHINA, CRI 1400 a few bars of the opening theme music, poor u/KBS

612    JAPAN, JOLK 1428 interview //594 fair-poor

639    CHINA, CNR1, 1349 Chinese talk //756, poor w/much KCIS-630 splash

657    DPRK, 1413 poor w/talk in heavy domestic splash

666    JAPAN, JOBK 1233 poor w/fast-paced song //594

675    VIETNAM?, weak chimes 1359 sounded like those used by VTVN, 
possible faint pips at toh, then traces of audio.


693    JAPAN, JOAB, 1426 English lesson fair in CBU splash

702    JAPAN, NHK2, 1440 poor in horrific KIRO splat with talk //693

729    UNID, female talk 1413 sounded Japanese but not //594, much 730 
splash, possibly mixing with a second station


738    S KOREA & TAIWAN, 1410 mix of Korean and Chinese talk fair

747    JAPAN, Osaka, JOIB, 1411 English lesson, some sort of drama

756    CHINA, CNR1 1414 Chinese talk poor //981

774    JAPAN, JOUB, 1420, English lesson about the effects of too much 
smartphone use


819        DPRK, 1312 excited woman talking, good signal but much KGNW 
splash


828    JAPAN, JOBB, 1400 catchy little song opening another English lesson

837    CHINA, 5+1 pips ending 1400:20, then apparent ID but too weak to 
understand.  Signal much better with pop vocals 1405 & other times after 
that

Today was my first TP DX session in about 2 weeks.   Conditions were 
so-so here, with a handful of the regulars showing up.  There was no 
sunrise enhancement to speak of.A couple of stations peaked at about 
1440.  Others peaked an hour or more earlier.
