[IRCA] TP for 16 Dec from Victoria, BC
Was out of bed by 1330UT this morning, and conditions were OK; first time that CRI on 1044 has been heard in awhile for example, and the Korean jammer on 1053 was not just audible, but quite listenable, if that's the sort of thing you like to listen to. But from there, it really was just slow deterioration, and by 1520UT, it was like most other mornings recently, pretty dead. So, almost everything noted was heard between 1330 and 1400UT, hardly sunrise enhancement. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 828 JOBB EE nx at 1358UT reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK 747 JOIB 774 JOUB 1053 KK jammer 1357UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 648 presumed Russia w/mx, but never able to get // on SW. 972 likely HLCA at various times 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) : 873 JOGB // 828 945 CNR-1 CC pips on hour 1400UT, possibly mixing with NHK-1 pips 1017 maybe CRI at 1431UT, didn't stick around long enough to pop up a parallel 1044 seemed //7325 so CRI 1566 likely HLAZ, certainly before 1345UT pattern change, but noted later as well Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 558, 846, 855 off channel, 936, 1008 SAH, 1242, 1287, 1323 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
[IRCA] TP for 16 Dec from Victoria, BC
In spite of Bill's observation of improving conditions this morning, my impression was of deteriorating conditions, at least from 1520UT onwards 828 and 1575 (seemed VoA by direction) had the most audio, reasonable but not great by any means. 774 and 972 were back of the pack in readability, while 594 and 1287 were just mumbles. Good carriers on 1098, 1539 and 1566 all seemed Asiatic, but no chance of audio. All these were fading erratically,and often were worse than the above observations. Better TP conditions at 0645 last night I'm afraid, and they weren't tremendous then either 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

I heard some audio on 972 and everything else seemed a wash out. More inclined to spend an extra 10 in bed or in the shower than fiddle with a radio... -- ..
