[IRCA] Sept 25 TP DX - Mind boggling
TP conditions this morning were nothing short of fantastic. Not just
the best this season but the best in several years here. I've had
Grayland DXpeditions that weren't as productive.
Mind you, this was all done while I slept (I went to bed late last
night), but that's what SDR's are for.
The highlight of the morning was hearing CHINA on 1170 mixing with KBS
and KPUG. Before 1300 I had KBS World Radio in Japanese sometimes
topping KPUG. At 1300 there were 3+1 pips from KBS mixing with 5+1 pips
from China, of which the final, longer one coincided with the CBS news
sounder on KPUG. A moment later, I was blown away by CNR's familiar
theme tune followed by a clear "Zhongyang Renmin Guangbo Dientai" ID by
a man. CNR1 has outlets listed in Guangdong province - perhaps one of
them boosted power recently to counteract the co-channel VOA
broadcasts. So if anyone hears Chinese on 1170, it's either KBS, VOA or
CNR. Take your pick.
Other stuff from today, sort of in chronological order
780 KNOM atop KKOH with ID and ABC news 1200
738 Taiwan presumed, in CC with no pips or theme music at 1200
846 China, 4+1 pips, all long, at 1200, weak, not much else heard
837 Asian woman 1159, no pips heard 1200

report by phone, mentioning "a mile south of (unintelligible)", also
caught 2-3 references to firefighters. Probably a DU

558 KK talk fair 1347
549 Unid 1347 in what appeared to be Chinese or Vietnamese, didn't
sound like Russian
693 Japan, JOAB monster signal at times (better than 594) w/EE lessons
1348, signal peaked at 5db weaker than CBU! 747 774 & 828 were also in
but not nearly as good
I'm tempted to go back through the files and look for more stuff, but
I've already spent 3 hours playing back 2 hours of DX.
