[IRCA] Saturday October 20 - TransPacific Note Book - Victoria



As others have noticed, it was a pleasantly lively morning at the dials
with a combination of stellar Japanese, Korean and Chinese reception -
Using a old school notebook approach to things today (by request) - my
YouTube video channel needs to some fine tuning; better audio and
continuity for starters.

************* PART ONE ****************

FREQUENCY     UTC       STATION    Observations
---------------------------------------------------------------------
531 Khz   1325   JOQG  NHK1 Morioka  At its level best from 1325 through
around 1340 with Japanese talk
540 Khz    1432   NHK Various Very, very tentative with musical fanfare //
to 594 - was watching this and other even channels
 for activity and there was lots to pick from - but nothing super
definitive - nor did I hear any pips on the hour.
558 Khz    1408  HLQH Korea - assuming the pop music station that was not
// to a more sombre CC or KK talker on 603
567 khz     1330 on JOIK Sapporo - in all morning with NHK1 programming
585 Khz     1423 EE Aussie style news - 7RN maybe?
594 Khz     1330 on - JOAK Tokyo NHK1 programming solidly in all morning
603 Khz     1330 on - more or less monopolized by a non-Korean station -
China?
612 Khz     1330 on - EE talk most of the time that I checked - 4QR Brisbane
621 Khz    1330 on - a miss mash of stuff that at any given moment of
perseverance would have yielded some audio or talk
but I did not hang around.
639 Khz  1330 on - CNR1 bashing the stuffing out of 640 (KFI) most of the
morning
657 khz 1330 on - KCBS Pyongyang - occasionally at good levels with sombre
and brain rinsing organ music
666 khz 1330 on - JOBK Osaka NHK1 - pretty much one of the regulars with
syndicated network stuff
675 Khz 1411 could have been something sounding somewhat Vietnamese - but
also could have been a Chinese dialect
693 Khz 1340 on - JOAB Tokyo NHK2 stuff getting clobbered by CBC 690 - but
at good levels none the less
702 Khz 1340 on - NHK2 various - Japanese talk on numerous passes
738 Khz  1345 on - Chinese talk in 730 Vancouver and KCBS San Francisco
splatter assault - Taiwan I imagine
747 Khz 1330 on - JOIB Hokkaido NHK2 - full on all morning with various
syndicated programs
756 Khz 1330 on - CNR Various - Chinese and variants on what sounded like
Chinese on around a dozen tune pasts...
*765 Khz 1424 - UNKNOWN - not sure who the DU sounding EE Talk was here -
quite distinctly - assumed it was ABC*
* but I did not see any active listings for ABC Australia on this channel -
any ideas?*
774 Khz 1330 on - JOUB Akita - ruling the channel most of the morning --
apart from the times that clear English speaking would emerge underneath -
assuming 3LO Melbourne Australia with network programming
792 Khz 1426  Assuming 4RN Brisbane with ABC programming here
801 khz  1330 on - a solid signal here all morning with occasional snippets
of choral signing - assuming the North Korean
819 khz   1330 on - more or less like 801 - just better and louder
828 khz  1330 on - JOBB Osaka - NHK2 holding the fort - but occasionally
other sort-of-sounding English murmurs deep in the background
837 khz  1330 on - a mix of different things with occasional snippets of
what sounded like Japanese
846 Khz  1330 on - a real nest of stuff, 2 to 4 signals duking it out with
occasional Chinese and/or Korean talkers surfacing
855 khz   1330 on - Like 846 khz but worse - lots of combined signals but
no actual winner
864 khz  1330 on - less of a wrestling match than the 2 previous channels
but still pretty thick with Korean surfacing occasionally
873 khz  1330 on JOGB NHK2 - solidly holding the channel on multiple passes
891 khz  1330 on - likely 2 or more players here with not one defining the
channel - best guess JOHK Sendai being the trophy bearer with JJ talks
900 khz  1330 on - an enticing channel with a blend of odd, non-North
American sounding stuff but no dominant station
909 khz  1330 on - a rats nest of stuff - but I did not spend much time
here - have heard Japanese in the past.
