Re: [IRCA] TPs from Victoria BC on November 20
Hi Nick,
Great job on the new NHK1 logging on 675 kHz. Usually when there is a 675
kHz mix here it turns out to be Vietnam and Hohhot, but I haven't heard
them together since the peak October days. Of course, after sunrise the TP's
here in inland Puyallup fade out much more quickly than in salt
water-enhanced Victoria.
Like you, I have also heard the UnID Chinese on 972 kHz mixing it up with
HLCA recently. The 972 Chinese seems to have a talk-oriented format, unlike
the 828 kHz music-oriented Chinese station which has been giving JOBB such
competition this month.
On 594 kHz, I had no trace of the echo (or Chinese) that you and John had
under JOAK, although I did have the Korean mixing very strongly until around
1500. Usually the TP propagation here will not last very long after
that-- recently around 1510 the TP's are leaving for good.
Thanks again for your detailed and positive TP report from yesterday, which
along with Nigel's equally glowing summary helped convince me that the
late-season band still had bright spots.
73, Gary

Bit of a mistake this morning, as didn't start listening until after 1500,
and things were pretty lively then; hopefully this was the peak, as it
hadn't been really exciting at 1300. 0630 to 0700UT the evening before had
been pretty good however w/the NHK2 Kitami transmitter (presumably) on 702
noted //774, and the Hokkaido NHK1 station on 1188 noted //594; likely
Russians on 765, 666, 234 and 279 etc. plus carriers on 738, 846 and 1017
which looped towards the Pacific islands.
Most interesting was 3 signals on 675, one presumably Vietnam, one turned
out to be NHK-1 (new; there are two listed), plus ???
It's still not entirely dead after 1700UT, with CNR-1 on 945 identifiable
by //5030, as well as what sounds like another CC (even though PAL lists
Heilongjiang s/off at 1500UT, there seems to be a Heilongjiang 945 webstream
still going strong, and they sounded similar to what I was hearing).
972 and 1287 still have some audio from time to time also (actually 1287 had
fairly readable audio at 1726UT), and 1566 would have good audio if they
actually had any modulation left. Could hear 1566's carrier cut at 1729:45
for the change in antenna direction; even stronger carrier afterward, but
any audio would be imaginary....somewhat less imaginary talk at 1736.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at
least briefly):
279 R. Rossii at 1526
594 JOAK; someone under had an echo on it.
639 CNR-1 //5030 at 1521
747 JOIB later; 1520UT
774 JOUB
828 JOBB
936 assumed Anhui initially, but actually two stations; the louder at 1530
had classical sounding piano, which I haven't heard as part of Anhui's
programming
1575 VoA at 1518UT
reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable
by a native speaker,
though often battling w/splash or noise):
531 JOQG //594 at 1525
585 JOPG //594 at 1523
918 CC with echoey CC talk, and mx underneath from someone else
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise
could be understood by a native speaker
153 R. Rossii
558 HLQH //603 plus one other
567 JOIK //594; not up to its usual strength
675 three stations trading places, one NHK1
873 JOGB //828
945 CNR-1 delay of >1 sec from 5030
972 two stations here, one seemed CC, the other had KK talk so HLCA
1134 CNR-1 delayed by <1 sec from 5030
1251 mx at 1538, VoR; gone before a parallel found
1287 JOHR at 1540; had been better at 0700UT the evening before (and
nearly as good at 1726)
1503 JOUK //594 at 1543UT
Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at
by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) :
711 big carrier, possibly HLKA
846 seemed //594 so NHK-1
855
981 //5030 at 1532, so CNR-1
1269, no //1287 at the time though
Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):
1539 (didn't seem to be UAE; no Farda on 1575 either) , 1566
best wishes,
Nick
