[IRCA] Fwd: My First TP AM DX Logs!



Ughh!  I'm told that this needs to be pared to < 35 kB.   Give me a break!


Paul, nice recordings!   You simply need to download the Pacific Asia List
(this is a LW and MW list, now maintained by our own Bruce Portzer from
Seattle).  This will help you with the stations and proper frequencies.
You seem to have a good pathway to Japan.  This is not surprising, as I
also receive Japan with thunderous signals in Masset.  I'd be interested in
hearing the difference closer to dawn, and after dawn.  This is when I hear
everything at it's strongest, with much less local station splatter.  Here
is what you heard:

693:  JOAB Tokyo  500 kW   NHK2 station, so very easy to check for the many
// frequencies.
954:  JOKR Tokyo  100 kW
1134:  presumed JOQR Tokyo 100 kW (although I always have trouble
differentiating it with cochannel HLKC Kimpo with 250/500 kW in Korean)
1188:  presumed JOKP Kitami (on Hokkaido, the most northern Japanese
Island) 10 kW with NHK1 network.   Again, lots and lots of // including the
flagship 594 kHz.  (there's a cochannel Korean from Seoul HLKX with 100 kW)
1323:   your best catch.   Should be NHK1.  There are many repeaters with
either 0.1 or 1 kW.  Often, all we get is CRI in Russian here.

You'll notice that many Japanese stations, especially the private ones,
have a typical "sing-song" style with young female DJs.  Very
characteristic.
