[IRCA] TPs Orcas Island: Nov 23



It was a fairly poor morning, with levels of audio quitew low in most cases.... and the few that were coming in well were only on short-lived peaks, for the most part. I DXed from 1500 until 1540 with LSR at 1530 or so. In ampongst the mediocrity, though, were a few jewels.

The more interesting:

594 had a CC with echo on it along with the usual JJ at 1510

765 and 783 were also in well enough for landuage ID: it was CC in both cases, not //, not CNR1 or 2. Both were likely in Manchuria or close by.

945 CNR1 had an echo for a while this AM. They have several low power repeaters here, along with the 400 kW in Jilin.

1026 was likely the usual Beijing Economic, doing as well or better than I've ever heard them.

1494 at LSR, 1494 peaked up for one of those rare occasions and I nailed it as //1287. It is JOTL, 1 kW in north central Hokkaido. You can bet your booties that a reception report is going out at noon today. Its been a long hard slog over several years to finally nail this baby!

1575 I've listened every morning for the past two weeks to 1575 at TOH 1500. I was primarily listening for Radio Farda mixing with VOA, but it was a week ago today that I heard "Radio Saranrom" clearly ID in EE and go into a 30 minute EE business news program focused on Pres. Obama's trip to Asia. Each of the intervening AMs have been a new program starting at 1500, but probably in Thai. These half hour broadcasts in Thai are by Saranrom and pointed to Thai's living in other SEA countries. Apparently 6 days a week, this is in Thai and on Monday's, its in EE. Gonna send a report here, too.

Finally, there was a peak, starting about ten minutes before dawn and lasting for 10 to 20 minutes after LSR. For a poor morning, I've got two reception reports to send.

By the way, I did send one reception report in early November. October was the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China and the 30th Anniversary of Deng's Modernizations/Reforms.... all quite a big deal. I had my own celebration all month, trying to hear as many CNR-1 and -2 channels as possible. I heard 26 different channels. I reported them all in one lengthy report and story to the Audience section of CNR. Back when CNR was a very reliable QSLer, I'd verified about 8 or 10 of these outlets. I'm hoping to get an answer to this latest letter that might be enough for me to count the other outlets that I reported as QSLed, too.

Well, for a relatively poor morning, it sure was fun!
