Re: [IRCA] 729 Southeast Asian Language at 1541 UTC

Gary - We're well aware of the cause of the ULR audio rolloff. I was trying to point out something that can be done post facto to improve your audio. If you are saying you set a highpass filter to 321 Hertz, my vote is that 321 Hz is a very extreme value. Half that at most seems normal.

Re: [IRCA] Poipu, Kauai (Hawaii) DXing

Chris, Thanks very much for your investigation of the 783 kHz UnID Chinese station identity. 783-Voice of the Straight is the strongest Asian TP on the band both in the morning and evening here, and it plays an incredible variety of music (Chinese opera, pop, instrumentals, and even rap :-)

A rather unusual morning.   At 1200 signals were looking good, with the regulars at good levels and lots of promising carriers. But, at 1300 the only TP in audio was Korea on 1566, and just barely. After staying dormant for quite a while signals rebounded after 1400, in some cases (972 Korea
