Subject: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 23 September 2017

     I first got up around 1215 UTC, let out the cat, and checked the
radio.  Things sounded very dull, and I very nearly went back to bed.
That would have been a big mistake as it turned out.   In general things
continued to sound dull, with the Asians (other than HLAZ) vanishing
after their 1 morning visit, and the recently regular DU signals not
doing much either.   A strong carrier on 1296 was unusual, so I stayed
there through 1300, and thought perhaps I'd heard traces of the ABC news
fanfare (not knowing what that meant at the time), but it was at
imagination level, so I didn't think much of it.   A bit later on I got
more audio on 1296.   Sounded like a BBC program at first, so was
thinking 4RPH, which would have been a new catch for me.   Didn't match
the website though, and after a bit I realized it was an ABC pgm, and
matched up with the RN sked for Western Australia.  After that it was
easy to match up my recording with the podcast.  Once I'd pinched myself
to make sure I wasn't dreaming it sank it that I'd finally heard my
first station from Western Australia, and the most distant station I've
ever logged. (Checked later, and it's 15,700 km)  Just proves once again
that you never know what is going to show up on any given day.

Today's audio:

612     4QR     Brisbane, QLD, AUSTRALIA        Assumed the one in weakly under IBOC
noise with woman talking at 1316.

1116    4BC     Brisbane, QLD, AUSTRALIA        Just traces of man talking at 1313.

1296    6RN     Wagin, WA, AUSTRALIA    Heard man and woman talking at 1313, with
short segments of opera music.   Checking the web site it turned out to
be a program about opera star Joan Sutherland.  Poor-fair audio for
about 5 minutes.

1566    HLAZ,    Jeju,KOREA,S.           Noted at 1259 with Christian song, then talk
by woman in Japanese.  The only Asian to make it today.
