[IRCA] Day THREE at Grayland



Conditions seem to be "healing" somewhat along with the arrival of the fall rainy season. In general, signals seemed somewhat better and the more northerly routes (the Russians) were at least present, if not at full strength. I managed a long log for a reception report (yet again) for Voice of Vietnam, with the 675 signal being up and down a lot, but a solid 9 on peaks. Even better the VOV1 transmitters on 5975, Hanoi and 7210 Buon Me Thuot were both in, with 5975 doing quite well. The third SW transmitter on 9530 did not seem to be on the air, the best that I could tell.

Thanks to a tip from Chuck Hutton, I heard Heilongjiang RGD Satellite Synchros on 1341//621, for only my second TP logging on 1341 (the other being NHK1 mini-Synchros some years ago.)

Mayak 549 Synchros were in for the first time this trip, doing poorly but clearly //576 which wasn't doing too well either. I also heard 909 JOCB, NHK2 Nagoya totally dominating Tianjin, China for the first time this season.

CNR2 was doing especially well this morning, all over KCIS, 630 at max dawn and CNR1 on 540 was knocking down walls, it was so powerful.

Lastly 684 was in standard Chinese this morning at 1440 UTC, post-dawn, rather than the usual Pyongyang Bangsong. No way that I could find to try //s and it was gone along with most of the band by 1500, 40 minutes after LSR.

So, there it is... Things were marginally better and clearly headed in the right direction. There is hope for tomorrow, my last morning on this trip.
