Re: [IRCA] TP for 9 Dec from Victoria, BC

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Nick,
 
Thanks for your report of this morning's TP's.
 
Early this morning around 0900 UTC there was also fair audio here on  594, 
738, 747 and 972 kHz, plus decent carriers on 666, 1053 and 1134 kHz. This  
was far more impressive than the local sunrise period, but still probably  
not worth checking at such a bizarre hour.
 
The December doldrums seem to have arrived in force. With lots of  
admiration for you and Bill Block sticking out the lackluster conditions every  day, 
I'll probably leave the TP-chasing to others until the band  improves. 
There are just too many DSP ultralight models that need to  be hot-rodded.
 
73, Gary DeBock.

Again,  sunrise enhancement was a misnomer....several visits to the radio 
over 1420 to  1600UT showed only carriers for the most part, with the big 
guns occasionally  showing wretched audio in the splatter.   Below 600 kHz was 
very  quiet this morning at 1600UT, so weak NHK-1 audio was heard on 567 //  
594

Checked the SDR14 files, and in contrast, at 0858UT, 567 and 594  were both 
pretty readable, though not in parallel until the pips on the  hour.  At 
1300, CNR-1 on 639 and Mayak on 576 were heard also, but quite  weak.    So, 
better than at sunrise, but still not that  good...



best  wishes,

Nick
