[WALTER SALMANIW <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

TP Report for 11Oct09 from Masset:  VERY Interesting!

A disturbed morning, initially at least with many deep fades
noted and stations disappearing to be replaced by others many thousands of km
away.  A most interesting morning, with
some wonderful catches with good audio. 
I listened between 13:30 and 17:39 (yes, that’s 9:39 am and still
getting audio!).  SF 70, A1, K2.  “6” as always unless otherwise noted:

153:  9

180:  7

183?  6.5

189:  9

279:  8

531:  Very exotic
sounding Asian music not // to the other NHK1 stations at 13:57, but into
network feed at 14:00 at 9 level.  JOQG
Morioka.  US pop music at 14:14, so
likely DU at good level too.

540

558:  noted by it’s
absence today.

567:  NHK1 at 14:03 at
9 level.  JOIK Sapporo.

576:  again, noted by
it’s absence.  In Victoria, the RR here
is very strong every morning, but absent for the past 2 mornings here.

585:  7 level  JOPG Kushiro, NHK1

594:  JOAK another
weak performer up here at 8 level early. 
Tokyo NHK1

603:  HLSA Seoul at 9
level, with weak cochannels.

612:  Brisbane noted
here at 14:07, then faded right down and replaced by CC speaker.  At 16:26, it was NHK1  JOLK Fukuoka at 7.5, // to 666.

621:  9 level CC
call-in show at 14:09

639:  IBOC spoils this
channel, but CNR1 comes through at 8 level and cochannels early.

657:  8 level North
Korean (actually on measured 656.97) at 14:13

666:  JOBK Osaka at 9
level at 14:17 and cochannels.

675:  Vietnam at 8
level plus CC 

680:  KBRW heard well
this morning with NPR programming, way over the SF station at 14:22.  ID at 15:00. 


684:  Very nice clean
signal with CC music at 8 level at 14:25

693:  Again, a great
frequency and exhibiting the wonders of the ionosphere with JOAB Tokyo,
wrestling with Dhaka, Bangladesh for dominance, with the latter usually
winning!!!  Initially tuned in at 14:28
to hear Tokyo dominant, but by 14:30 BD was so, especially by 14:31 when they
completely dominated the channel with their EE news which continued until
14:41:20, followed by a commentary. 
Extremely clean audio from BD makes them an easy catch.  I have some great mp3 files of this
station.  Yahoo!

702:  9 level  at 14:44, North Korea.

711:  9 level at 14:50
with CC stronger than HLKA Seoul, but also a very loud jammer!

720:  Probably KOTZ at
14:52 with NPR programming at very good level, way over CNR2 today.  

729:  9 level music
and talk cochannel

738:  CC and cochannel
x 2 at early at 9 level.  Later noted at
16:29 with Taiwan Fisheries // to even stronger 1143. 

747:  KBS1 at 15:11 at
7 level.  This is HLKH, Bia.

765:  8 level at 15:15
with music, and JJ station.  Several in
Yamanishi listed between 0.1 and 5 kw.

774:  8 level CC at
16:30, probably Hubei RGD.  JOUB Akita at
9 level earlier, but with the CC cochannel too.

783:  late

792:  9 level 2
cochannel CC stations and music at 15:32.\

810:  8+ oriental
music over AFN

819:  North Korea at 9
level at 15:19

828:  7 level CC and
weak cochannel

864:  8 level with
lots of splatter.  I highly suspect this
to be AIR Shillong, but will need to check the files.

882:  7 level at
16:31.  Needs more research.

909:  7 level at 16:32
with JOVX Abashiri // to 1440.  Earlier

listed Urdu presumed at good reception at 16:57 with deep fades.  “VOA Radio” ID at 17:00 fair /good with
cochannel CNR1 noted at 17:01.  Still
fair at 18:18 (after 11:00 am local!)

1548:  Up to 9 level

SDR IQ going over this range, so it will be fun to relive!

1575:  9+ level with
VOA Thailand > Radio Farda in Al-Dhabiya, UAE, but then Farda completely
dominated at excellent level.  Right
after a weak VOA ID, there was an excellent ID for Radio Farda.  Probably also weak AFN Japan as well.  Still had audio at 7 level at 18:17!  Also fair at 18:58 which is local noon!!!

Also noted an ?OC on 1594

X-band:  nothing noted

All in all, a very interesting morning with a good recovery
of the Asian stations later (ie CC/KK/JJ), but with a wonderful appearance of
the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Gulf later!  One more evening and morning, and then it’s
home tomorrow.
