[IRCA] 26 September 2015 TP/DU Victoria B.C. As good as it gets... so far. (PART ONE)

["R. Colin Newell" <coffeecanuck@xxxxxxxxx>]

With over 50 channels in audio at times, this mornings session was one for
the win column.
It might have had something to do with a fresh new antenna, A W/NW Flag at
286 degrees remotely adjusted
with a Connelly VACTROL unit -- or just that the conditions were just gosh
darn good.

Last night there were some signs of TA activity in Victoria with 2
threshold carriers (that started with a tip
via e-mail from DX veteran Nick Hall-Patch.)

Anyway - onto the logs - with lots of video!

Session went from 1305 until 1410 when I packed it in -- and there was
still a lot of activity - but my warm bed summoned.

1308U - 558 - (UNID) OM talking in the "fairly clear" which was most likely
Japanese but could have been Korean

1312U - 972 - KBS - Korea - bell ringing levels with usual KK talk and
occasional solemn music - https://youtu.be/zHjCUK-bWr0

1314U - 860 - CBC Prince Rupert - Coastal weather - at amazing levels
completely clear on channel. https://youtu.be/n9lA97XUcuo

1315U - 890 - KBBI Homer Alaska - alone on channel with BBC radio content

1317U - 1566 - FEBC Korea - JJ OM at impressive levels - likely the best
signal of the morning - https://youtu.be/7gB5hOGsD7I

1322U - 873 - NHK - JOGB Kumamoto - EE/JJ lessons above the local buzz on
this channel

1323U - 657 - DPRK - Pyongyang - 1st time I have heard this in a LONG time
with strident YL harangue in Korean

1326U - 1098 - UNid - China? - Strident YL-OM in Chinese / no question
about the language / def. not Korean or Japanese

1327U - 1575 - VOA - Thailand - banging in at times pushing passed 1566 for
strength supremacy

1330U - 1053 - S. Korean jammer - usual stuttering mess of garbage with the
occasional appearance of a relaxed Japanese
speaking OM - https://youtu.be/aS_lWrOjPLY

1331U - 702 - Mix of 2 or 3 things scrapping it out on channel.

1333U - 639 - CHR1 - assume the strident CC YL with occasional bits of
orchestral music later - // 1098 Khz

1335U - 1017 - Tonga (t) assume the Island flavored music here at good
levels -

1340U - 846, 855, 864, 873, 890, 891 - tune up of activity on channel (at
this point there were over 50 channels in audio --
one of the times that an SDR for later analysis would be cool - but you
would spend hours replaying various segments of spectrum -
This is where "live DXing" is at its most fun! --

Cutting this into 2 sections lest it get rejected.
