[IRCA] TPs Not So Bad: Orcas Island
I guess that my glass was half full, were Walt's was half empty! The band was very much like the last several days pretty useless above1000, but below there, I had wall-to-wall audio at some point during dawn. Although most channels were occupied by the usual suspects, there were several quite interesting ones, too: 549: Briefly occupied by the Mayak // 576 which was doing wonderfully well... They were running some kind of harangue, probably political, by an excited male speaker. 720 was CNR2, again, but 630 was just KJNO and Seattle 765: I heard the CC echo station there again, though I now think that it is Korean... I wasn't smart enough to //819. The most interesting was 603 which I checked late at post dawn to make sure that it was the Korean and it WAS NOT! Actually, the Korean was there for the first ten minutes, but mostly way beneath the dominant. The dominant was playing nondescript music until after 1500. However, at TOH, there were two sets of pips... with the dominant giving 5+1, I think. At about 1503, they began a series of 60s rock classics with the Beatles Yesterday leading off. Twice, there were short periods of talking by a male... anmd it may have been in Russian, but things were getting quite weak as it neared 30 minutes post-dawn. There are two Mayak stations listed on the Amur River, so it might have been them running non-Mayak late night stuff, though it could have been a lot of other things, too. This evening, I'm going to try to process the audio some and then see what I can make out. Will report. So, not a classic good morning, but still very interesting.

A Japanese DXer has posted some audio (complete with echoes): http://mwdxing.blogspot.com/2008/05/765khz-radio-vostok-rossii.html I have it listed in the PAL as Radio Vostok Rossii. I've listed 7 transmitters there. I have 5 of them as future but they could easily be on the air by now. It sort of has a website at http://khabexpo.ru/02xii/rvr.htm May this is what you heard?

Bruce John: It's Chinese for me: 5+1 pips, the standard time check (Beijing shijian xx dian zheng) and a guangbo dientai ID that I can not catch. All with a fair echo.
