Re: [IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on 22 Feb



A different planet indeed, Bruce. The low band was far more impressive than the high band here today.

I plan to do some interplanetary travel this afternoon, hopefully with re-entry around 3:30 PM.

73, Gary

Conditions today were, in many respects, much like the past few days.   
Unlike some recent days, there was a very pronounced sunrise enhancement 
that lasted from about 1435 to 1450.  HLAZ-1566 was the big standout 
today, with a nice signal for several minutes. Otherwise, there were 
lots of carriers at the high end, many with weak audio, and almost 
nothing at the low end of the dial.

Good - A native speaker would have understood most of it for brief periods
1566    HLAZ, woman in Chinese 1440-1453,  mostly poor-nil otherwise

Fair - A native speaker would have understood a few words
Nobody

Poor - Recognizable program content
747    JOIB, woman/man 1254, language lesson
774    JOUB, Man in Japanese 1151
972    Faint bits of talk/music 1248 & 1327
1332    Music briefly audible 1446
1422    Music/talk 1445
1503    Woman talking 1451, not sure of language but probably JOUK
1557    Bits of audio, sounded like music 1442.  Carrier almost as 
strong as 1566 but audio was weaker and there was more splatter
1575    Reasonably decent carrier but very weak audio 1446
1593    Talk poking through the KLFE splatter 1443, not sure if CNR or NHK
1602    Woman/man talking 1442, much 1600 splatter


Carriers 1314 1323 1404 1413 1431
