Re: [IRCA] TP for 20 Apr from Victoria, BC

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Nick,
 
Thanks for the report, and conditions were very similar here (but without  
the DU's).
 
1566-HLAZ had fair to good signals for about 20 minutes after 1250,  but 
all the other Asiatic TP's were down in the noise. Usually when 1566  has good 
audio 1575-VOA shows up, but not this morning. HLAZ's  Japanese-language 
programming was the only TP signal heard here this  morning here in the 
Puyallup Valley, a notorious DU dead zone. I'm sure that  Grayland must have had 
far more action.
 
73, Gary

This was  an "I have no idea why this is happening" morning.  Started  
listening
at 1245UT, and HLAZ was holding down 1566 very nicely, and  continued that 
way
for the next 20 minutes or so.  1287 had weak audio  on an Asiatic bearing. 
 And
then, all other audio (mostly quite weak)  was below 900kHz, and entirely 
DU.
Geomagnetic conditions have remained  pretty quiet, but there was a slight 
burp
in the solar wind density and  speed, but nothing compared with some recent
excursions, so no obvious  explanation (to me) of this best DU morning since
probably last  fall.


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

1566 HLAZ


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

702 2BL  at 1249UT


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

594 3WV  //702
612 4QR //594 at 1259UT
846 DU sounding talk by man; likely 2RN,  though for some reason no signal 
on 
792 which is generally more likely  here.


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) :

747  seemed //612 w/man talking at 1306UT, so  4QS
738, didn't seem //702, so Tahiti?
774  also seemed //612, at  1313UT, so 3LO
855 //702 at 1303UT, so 4QB/4QO
1287 Asian bearing,  likely JOHR; done by 1255UT




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

639 DU, 1053, 1098, 1475,  1575



best wishes,

Nick
