[IRCA] TP for 30 Nov from Victoria, BC

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Welll, this morning I was just about competitive with John (now that his receivers are packed away, hi).     We'll miss those reports of what you can REALLY hear in this neck of the woods John.   But I understand that TPs are still being heard in Oklahoma....on Ultralights.   Maybe that's where the TPs have gone.

This morning's listening was from 1500 to 1525 with another brief listen at 1540UT.  Signals were very erratic, and mostly poor to non existent, with the big guns occasionally stumbling into good readability.


pretty darn good audio, at least briefly  (all of it understandable by a native speaker)

594 JOAK, the most consistent today
747 JOIB at 1506, but usually in the murk, though less so than the other NHK2's
774 JOUB not until 1517; really underperforming 
828 JOBB at 1503; trading places with someone else when at lower level than this
972 HLCA not until 1520



reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker,
though often battling w/splash or noise):

...only on the way to stronger signals, and then on the way back down



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker

567 JOIK //594
612 4QR at 1514UT
873 JOGB //774
1575 VoA, but not until later



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) :


279 R. Rossii
558 big carrier
603 (both 558 and 603 were very messy with at least two signals each; couldn't really winkle out the parallel)
639 CNR-1 //5030
666 JOBK //594 at 1525
675
738
1089 CC inflected talk at 1522, held up for about a minute, then disappeared
1134 seemed //972 so KBS
1422 mx at 1540UT, presumed JORF
1503 very messy w/SAH at 1540UT; didn't sound //594 (!) dunno?
1548 briefly at 1505UT; DF w/loop very ambiguous, assumed 4QD as north Flag didn't get much of it.
1566 finally a bit of CC sounding talk at 1540UT; presumably as local noise level drops below HLAZ' minimal sidebands



Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):

855 w/hum, 1098 Asia


best wishes,

Nick
