[IRCA] TP's for Jun 27

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep...so listened from 1150 to 1220UT.  Pretty good  reception for me, though I suspect John would have gone for a dawn stroll instead, as many of these needed a preamp to bring them up.  The odd thing is that although audio was mostly barely there, it was riding on some pretty pathetic carriers as well.  I heard audio on 576 by accident; the carrier was so weak, I normally wouldn't have stepped down to 567.0 from 567.4 (+0.4kHz  and LSB is my usual carrier monitoring frequency), but did it out of force of habit, and there was something there.   The band is pretty quiet here around summer dawn when using the Flag.

738 was, on the contrary, one of the best carrier strengths heard in a while, but totally Tahiti, and no audio heard at all.


pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): none

reasonable audios (though often battling w/splash):  

not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 1116 at 1156UT

Burbles in the splatter and noise:  567 @1202UT, 576 @1201,  612 at 1201UT and other times, 639 with two stations I think, one music, one talk at 1155, 774 at 1154 (Aussie direction), 792 at 1149, 1503 at 1214UT

Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 738 Tahiti, loud, 1098 later on



best wishes,

Nick
