Hello All,
The TP propagation doldrums continued for a second day here, and it
was a scramble to find decent Asiatic audio. An indication of the poor
conditions was the failure of 1566-HLAZ to produce audio here, for the first
time in all of September. The morning wasn't a total waste, though-- there
were a couple of bizarre TP fade-ins that were completely out of character
with the poor propagation, providing a reminder once again that strange
things can happen at any time in this hobby.
594-JOAK was the first to produce audio at 1325, but it was poor at
best. 828-JOBB was the same way at 1327, refusing to stick around. Then
suddenly 648-VOR (of all stations) faded in at a fair level with Russian music
at 1329 during the Chinese program, stuck around for a minute, then dropped
out completely. Shortly after that the 1053-Korean Jammer did the same
thing at 1335, producing a fairly strong buzzing signal, as if to make a
point. Various other TP's on 657, 738, 747, 972 and 1134 produced threshold
audio, but nothing like these two overachievers. All things considered,
despite the lackluster propagation, it was a strangely interesting morning.
The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5"
loopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the rainy
back yard):
594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Poor audio at 1325, but practically ghostlike
648 VOR Razdolnoye, Russia Very strange fade-in with music during
Chinese external program at 1329; unusual strength for the
poor

738 BEL2 Penghu, Taiwan Threshold audio in and out throughout morning
747 JOIB Sapporo, Japan Another NHK "big gun" reduced to weak audio
828 JOBB Osaka, Japan Threshold audio around 1338
972 HLCA Dangjin, S. Korea Very weak Korean speech at 1341
1053 Korean Jammer Once again producing fair buzzing during fairly
poor propagation

1134 TP-Mix Very weak mix above the noise level at 1343, apparently

657 Pyongyang, N. Korea Threshold audio from rough carrier at 1338
