[IRCA] TA and TP report for 2 Sep08 from Masset, BC
Here's my report for TA and TP activity for 2Sep08. Sounds like John B was listening the 1017 CRI KK around the same time as me, and the same strength! Russians too...good for you, John. Now on to my report from last night and this morning:
TP report from Masset for 2Sep08: Asia
Good morning from Masset, where I’ve just completed another morning of TP dxing. Conditons were a bit down from yesterday, and virtually no signs of DU activity. First some comments about last night’s TA….some very good audio noted, especially on 1215!
I first noted some faint hets from 03:15…quite early. First the audios noted (6 unless otherwise noted):
189 Iceland up to 8 level by 05:30.
531: late appearance but only 6 level by 05:28
819
855: 6.5 prob SS
909: 6.5 prob SS at 04:10
981: Portugal at 8 level
999: COPE at 8+ and still present at 05:15
1008: SER 8+
1035 7 to 8 at 04:07 Portugal
1044: 6.5 with SS
1053: Talksport EE at 04:40 at 7.5
1071
1089: ditto for Talksport
1116: SER at 7.5 at 05:24
1125, 1161
1206: France Info at 6 to 7
1215: A great channel tonight! Up to 9 level at 04:30 with Virgin Radio and nice ID at 04:32. Programming, perhaps, is a bit more subdued than in the past, possibly since they were taken over by the Indian Times. At 05:00 the Spanish station had taken over at 8+ level. Great fun!
1224: COPE at 8+ at 04:38
1251: 6+ in PP
1269: COPE 6 to 7 at 04:37
1341: SS at 04:35 at 6 to 7
1377 France Info at 04:18 7 level
1566: 6 to 7 level at 04:47 and again at 05:17 TWR Benin
1575: 6 level late at 05:17
Hets only: 639, 666, 738, 954, 1179, 1197, 1242, 1278, 1287, 1296, 1314, 1332, 1404, 1413, 1421, 1458, 1485, 1494, 1548, 1557, 1583.
Overall not a bad evening with the strongest audios so far this season. Also first appearance of UK stations.
Now to the TP report for the morning. Monitored between 12:28 and 14:40
Russians were there on LW as usual at strong levels on 153, 171, 180, 189, 234, and 279. A welcome addition was Mongolia on 164 but only at threshold levels.
On MW, no signs of yesterday’s DU activity on 531. Solidly NHK1.
KBS2 was on 558 and 603. 612 was NHK1 cochannel CNR1 at 13:00.
621 sounded North Korean-“ish”, but not definite.
630 is an Alaskan channel with normally KJNO from Juneau dominating the channel. At 13:07, KIAM clearly was over the former. Also cochannel KBS1 at 7 to 8 level.
IBOC is a real problem especially early on. 639, 657, 675, 684, 882 and 900 are all affected in a major way….Yuk!
702 again was cochannel NHK2 and KCBS.
711 is owned by KBS1. I recall Nick H-P hearing NHK1 here, but so far no luck.
774: Of course, NHK2. Just to note, they were still a 9 at 14:55!
801: KTWG not as strong as yesterday. I heard a “Through the Bible” ID at 13:27
810: Both the Russian an an oriental station. Very strong.
819: KCBS again here very strong 9 level, and // to 2850.
837: 2 cochannel, with one being HLKY presumed, with prayer at 13:40
855.05: Despite other N. Koreans booming in, this channel, this season they are not propagating well at all. No audio heard today, just the off channel carrier.
882: Chuck Hutton pointed out that North Korea has not been heard for a long time here. I’m quite certain that I heard them yesteday during an excellent N. Korean opening. Nothing for sure today except STV //1440 at 14:05 and a carrier on 882.35.
918: Most likely Shandong, in CC, with echo at 13:50.
945: CNR1 stronger than antoher cochannel at 9 level.
963: Perhaps the strongest of the morning…..I’m giving them a 10, with //1323 at 8 level for CRI in Russian.
972: The KK station seems to have better modulation now than before. Also noted a cochannel CC station at 13:57.
998.92: KCBS //2850 at 9 level.
1017: Filipino program with Christian broadcast at 14:12.
1044: CRI in JJ at 9 level
1071: JJ, but not NHK1, but rather STV // 1440 at 8 level.
1152: NHK2 noted at 9 level around 14:20
1170: prob. Philippines VOA cochannel CBC.
1206: Yanbian in KK at very strong levels around 14:23
Most of the upper band had JJ stations when I tuned to them late, well after LSR.
The only X-bander with audio was 1701.07.
That’s it for another satisfying morning! Good DX to all!..........Walt Salmaniw, Masset, BC.
