Re: [IRCA] TP for 24 Aug 2012; preliminary Victoria version

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Nick,

Thanks very much for your daily TP reports during my Oregon Cliff 
DXpedition (as well as those from Dennis, Steve, and Nigel). They all 
provided a very interesting comparison.

The Japanese big guns (594, 666, 747 and 774) made their first weak 
appearance at the "Rockwork 4" Cliff around 1230 UTC this morning, but 
their signals' angle of arrival is directly in line with the cliff 
face, and instead of boosting their signals the DU-favoring cliff 
apparently cuts them way down. I was wondering why only the DU's were 
coming in every morning despite the late summer date, and this is 
probably the most logical answer. There are other sheer cliffs at the 
site which would presumably favor the Asiatic TP's and attenuate the 
DU's, if this theory proves to be correct.

73 and Thanks,
Gary DeBock (back in DX-deprived Puyallup, WA)

Still have recordings to go through, but here's a preliminary version 
of what
was heard this AM, all Asiatic, at least so far.  1269 was a nice 
surprise,
though has been heard here a couple of times before. I don't know what 
it's
secret to success is, as Obihiro is inland.   Ironically, I've driven 
through
the town several years ago, and obviously should have checked out the 
antenna
site, hi.


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

none


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

1287 JOHR  man and woman in JJ, fading up 1303UT //1269
1566 HLAZ 1300UT NHK style pips on hour, first time heard at 1300, 
usually only
heard during earlier KK programs.  As Dennis observed, this seemed to 
have a lot
of dead air this morning, e.g. at various checks 1305-1310 with big 
carrier and
no audio



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

1269 JOHW woman and man in JJ //1287 at 1303UT; big surprise with 
relatively low
number of audios this morning



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) :

891 Asiatic talk?? 1305UT
954 maybe JOKR, too weak to tell 1258UT



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

774, 1053
