Re: [IRCA] TP DX 10/9/06

Interesting how reception varies from place to place.   In spite of 
being up late last night I dragged myself out of bed this am, and am 
sure glad I did.  (Luckily today's a holiday for us Canadians, it being 
our Thanksgiving.)  No DU stuff noted here, but lots of TPs, with 
carriers on nearly every channel.  Heard audio from China on 945 and 981 
for the first time.   945 was really strong at times.   Also heard China 
on 1044 and 1206.   After never hearing it, it's suddenly becoming 
almost common!   Also heard audio on 648 from Vladivostok for the first 
time, and it too was quite strong at times.  Although LW Russians are 
common, that's my first TP reception of Russia on MW.  (I have heard it 
via the TA route previously). I think the mornings's highlight though 
was 780 KNOM, as Alaskans are even rarer here than Asians.   I checked 
there, as Id noted something under KKOH on the truck radio on the way 
out to the acreage.  Didn't get a call ID, but did catch a man saying 
"43 degrees in Nome" between programs.  Of course there's always one 
that gets away, and today was no exception.  Was hearing what was likely 
KICY mixing with KOA on 850, and awaiting the ID at 1400 but no such 
luck as CKBA switched to day pattern right at 1400 and completely buried 
both KOA and any possible KICY.    Heard bits of religion on 1110 also 
so was hoping for KAGV, but too much KFAB off the back end.  Still, KNOM 
is only Alaskan #5 for me, so I'm happy with that.
