Hello All,
It was an excellent low-band morning here for Asiatic TP's, with a
few stations like 657-Pyongyang and 738-Taiwan having their best signals of
the season so far. 729-China (presumed Jiangxi, according to a tip from
Chuck last year) made a rare appearance with good signals very close to
CHMJ-730 (a daytimer here), and 666-Radio Mayak was back holding down the
frequency over a weak JOBK. That was the general trend this morning here, with all
the low-band Asians except the Japanese getting a significant signal boost.
738-BEL2 in Taiwan is now having very serious transmitter issues,
with the worst buzzing hum ever heard from a TP (including the North Koreans).
What was previously a ragged carrier now sounds like an overmodulated
North Korean with a built-in Korean Jammer , as in this recording at 1338 this
morning: _http://www.mediafire.com/?8j32pn1ig689894_
(http://www.mediafire.com/?8j32pn1ig689894) . The thumping hum extends to 737 kHz when the
signal is strong, as in this 1339 recording:
_http://www.mediafire.com/?y2lga5wsqbtjczb_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?y2lga5wsqbtjczb) . This station was
having similar transmitter issues this time a year ago, but appeared to have
corrected them last October.
729-China was only heard once here previously (last October) and this
morning it was all alone on the frequency, with no sign of JOCK or the NK
station. It was another indication that the new season is full of
surprises, and a good sign that October may be equally exciting. Congratulations
again to Stephen (in the Ultralightdx group) for receiving his first TP's
(774-JOUB and 657-Pyongyang)) on his PL-380 and SAT, near San Diego.
