Re: [IRCA] Alberta DU for 27 July 2013

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,fellas.  Listened this morning and noted so so x-band conditions.
 Nowhere near as good as a few days ago.  Otherwise a fair Asian morning
with some very interesting unknown cochannels.  Help please if you can:

  1377:  Koran chants under occ. over NHK2 before and after 13:00.
   1593. NHK2 under another Asian at 13:11.  Not Chinese.
  900 had a loop running all morning for the Dial Global Radio Network and
1kHz tones.  Who are they?
  1386 also had a coch Asian under NHK2 at 12:58

  So some weird stuff on an otherwise so so morning.  73, Walt in Masset, BC
