Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP's 10/5/10

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Richard,
 
The strength of the Japanese this morning was far from optimum, and you are 
 doing very well in Oklahoma for the modest conditions. I'm happy that your 
 Tecsun PL-310 Ultralight  + 7.5" loopstick TP-chasing results are now  
posted on the IRCA list, so that all can see the DXing potential of these  
amazing DSP pocket radios.
 
Here on the west coast the identity of a 702 kHz TP heterodyne can usually  
be determined by its transmitted quality-- a pure sine wave is likely  to 
be Japan (one of the two 10 kw NHK2 synchro stations on the frequency), while 
 a rough-sounding, off-frequency (702+) heterodyne is likely to be North  
Korea (Korean Central B.S.). If you are fortunate (?) enough to have  
657-Pyongyang BS booming in, you should have the ragged N.K. carrier showing up  on 
702+ kHz.
