Re: [IRCA] TPs at Asian sunset

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I continued to check the band until I went to bed just after 0900, and 
then had the SDR-IQ recording the 600's and 700's for a few hours.

Conditions at 0900 would have made for a decent sunrise enhancement, 
especially this time of year, with audio popping up in all sorts of 
places.  My recordings showed the TP DX stayed in the rest of the night 
but, except in a couple of cases, never produced the exciting signal 
levels I found when I first listened.

I noted the following in addition to the stations listed in my original 
post (scroll down):
518   Kushiro (Japan) and Honolulu Navtex transmissions
531   carrier
549   carrier
558   carrier
567   Japan with good audio at about 0845
576   Japan fair
621   Asian talk (woman), too much 620/630 splash to ID language, but 
inflections suggested N Korea
639   CNR1, ID in Chinese 1001
648   carrier after 1100
657   N Korea fair w/strident woman 1000
666   carrier, presumed Japan
675   Carrier at 1000
693   Japan fair, much weaker than 747 774
729   Carrier, possible time pips from Japan 1000
738   Taiwan with ID in CC 0901
756   carrier, threshold audio
783   carrier, threshold audio
864   threshold audio
918   carrier
1035   carrier
1098   carrier
1287   Japan rose up to recognizable audio at times
1422   carrier, maybe some audio
1476   Man & woman in Chinese briefly quite good around 0845, then faded

Bruce in Seattle
