[IRCA] Michigan DU's, Sept.20th



Heavy t-storms crackling across the band this morning spoiled what could
have otherwise been decent DU conditions (decent for Michigan).  Unattended
SDR recordings this morning caught the following:


612, with threshold audio, man speaking, and music heard starting at 1128
UTC and ending at 1131 UTC and back into person speaking.  Not really
enough signal to understand any speech or ID the song played in between the
talk.


693, a nice solid carrier at 1126 UTC and lasting for a few minutes but not
good enough for audio.


738, threshold audio at 1125 UTC but buried by 740 WRPQ splatter, which was
worse than usual here this morning.


828.002 UNID, 1136 UTC, man speaking, possibly an interview with another
person (YL maybe?), unfortunately nothing intelligible due to WCPT/WBAP
splatter and strong t-storm noise that's been plaguing me the last several
mornings.  First time ever hearing any audio on 828, usually a just a weak
carrier at best, even during good DU cx here.  Honestly it's a channel that
I usually don't even consider checking, but the propagation was different
this morning.


882 SAH, a couple of strong solid carriers at near equal strength beginning
at 1123 UTC and separated by 1 Hz, but neither good enough for audio.


1098 presumed V7AB, faint music first noted at 1123 UTC and again with a
peak at 1128 UTC with song ending and then man speaking, but much splatter
from local 1090 WKBZ to contend with this morning and t-storm crackle.


Weaker DU carriers also noted peaking between 1116-1130 UTC on 549, 558,
576, 585, 594, 603, 621, 693, 702, 729, 747, 756, & 1035.
