[IRCA] TP or lack thereof

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Started listening just after 1400 to a few carriers only, then 
discovered that I had a bad coax on the Flag input to the 
receiver.  So really only listened from about 1420 on.  Audio on 567 
and 774 likely Australia, but too weak to tell for sure.  Also 774 
suffered from a huge het about 137 Hertz high from the dominant 
signal, sometimes near dominant itself, but any audio seemed to sound 
more like jamming, a sort of propellor sound.  This was heard only on 
the westerly Flag, so likely not Asiatic?

  At 1448UT, down under EE talk by man is dominant, perhaps the best 
level this morning.   Talk included the phrase "I never promised you 
a rose garden" repeated a couple of times; without the accompanying 
song, I guess it could have been EE lessons on NHK.  Nothing else was 
in audio at the time, and what direction finding I could get 
indicated a more northwesterly arrival.

best wishes,

Nick
