[IRCA] This morning's TP-DX from Central Iowa



Hello everyone,

First off, thank you to everyone for their kind words about yesterday's
recordings, as well as your encouragement. I really appreciate all of it.

This morning's conditions were still very good, but not up to yesterday's.
There were multiple Japanese stations audible, including 693, 774, and 837,
but their signals were down substantially.

I was just about to get on with the rest of my day when 1098 went from a
carrier to an S8 around 1215 UTC, right around local sunrise. Here's a
recording of this morning's reception.

After navigating through the China Radio website, I was able to match up
this morning's recordings with their Tibetan service. The frequency offset
(or lack thereof) on the signal also matches up with what myradiobase.de
has listed for the CNR 11 transmitter out of Golmud, so I think its been
confirmed. According to Google maps, it's 6992 miles from transmitter to
receive antenna. How crazy is that??

Thanks to Tim Tromp for his offset suggestion, and to Chris Kadlec for his
help with navigating the China Radio website.
