[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 10 March 2015

[Nigel Pimblett <nige2730@xxxxxxxxx>]

   What a difference a day makes.  After hearing only one TP yesterday, 
today ranks as the best day of 2015 here in southern Alberta.  Solid 
signals from the Japanese big guns for lengthy periods, and some 
surprising signals higher in the band.   The biggest surprise was the 
Australian X-band station on 1629, which had my best Aussie X-band 
signal of the entire season.  For some reason Brisvaani on 1701, 
normally my best X-bander, didn't do much today.


594	JOAK, Japan	Already in audio at 1215, reached good
			levels later, easily cutting through the IBOC
			background.

693	JOAB, Japan	Already in audio at 1215.  Good level by 1258
			in spite of louder than normal 690 splatter.

702	ABC Sydney, AUSTRALIA	Barely a carrier at 1300, but pr-fr
			with ABC news by 1302.

747	JOIB, Japan	No audio at 1309, but soon came up with man in
			Japanese at 1317.

774	JOUB, Japan	First up to audio level around 1235, and good
			by 1310.

828	JOBB, Japan	Traces of audio first noted at 1236, up to fair
			by 1310.

846	NHK1, Japan	Big carrier, but only definite audio was the
			NHK pips at 1300.

873	JOGB, Japan	Poor, with man and woman conversing in English
			lesson at 1304.

891	JOHK, Japan	Weak, with talk by woman at 1332, //594.

972	HLCA, Korea	Mostly just a strong carrier, but had a few
			minutes of audio with music and talk by woman
			around 1323.

1179	JOOR, Japan	Conversation in Japanese by man and woman at
			1253.
	
1269	unID		Weak audio for a minute or so, with traces of
			woman talking at 1324.  About 30 Hz high.

1287	JOHR, Japan	Woman speaking in Japanese at 1305.

1296	unID		Traces of audio, with music at 1324

1314	JOUF, Japan	Weak, but definitely Japanese, with woman
			talking at 1302.

1449	unID		Weak audio with man talking at 1329.

1548	4QD, Australia	Aussie-accented talk by a man through the 1550
			splatter.

1566	HLAZ, Korea	Nothing at 1215, but noted with fair audio by
			1300, and good by 1320.

1575	VOA, Thailand	First reached audio around 1325, with the ID
			 only poor at 1330.

1593	unID		Traces of audio around 1316.

1611	unID		Pop music noted at 1329, with bits of talk in
			the background, possibly from a second statoion.

1628.94	unID, Australia	   English talk between man and woman.  Seemed
		 	to be a Christian station judging by the
			content of the discussion.  Would have been
			100% copy at times if not for the 1630
			splatter.

Carriers everywhere, but the strongest were:
531,567,576,675,801,864,909,972,1242,1278,1332,1386,1404,1422,1584,1602
