As illustrated earlier, today was a morning punctuated with occasional
displays of plumage - but for for the most part, this bird had its head in
the sand.
Following Nick Hall-Patches "Fish Barrel" online live alert system, the
deck was shuffled
with every page refresh - and rarely did my findings agree with the Fish
Barrel -
that is to say, evidence of impressive signals on one channel were never
realized by
the time I arrived - conversely, impressive 2nd and 3rd tier curiosities
would frequently
emerge for a dozen seconds or so. This was prime SDR territory -- and me
flying old school.
Listening period: 1320 UTC until 1402 UTC
594khz Japan - at times at seasonably medium to high signal levels with JJ
talking - 1320 until 1350
603khz Various - hints of audio and a few carriers at different times
yielding threshold intelligence 1330
567khz Japan - usual JJ talks - but did by no means match 594 in terms of
raw strength 1322
702khz UNid - near audio on several passes but competing with CBC 690
splash 1323
747khz Japan - actual good levels holding own against co-channel noise 1331
774khz Japan - very good levels at times with NHK programming -- audible
entire session
828Khz Japan - " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
891khz UNid - big signals later in the session but very little in the way
of delivered intelligence - 1350
918Khz UNid - near audio at times - music and muted conversations - might
have imagined Japanese talk but\
just not sure - 1350
954Khz Japan - Tokyo - primary second tier at good levels from to time
particularly later in the sessions. 1347
972Khz Korea - audible pretty much the entire session with subdued Korean
talk and music
1179khz UNid - frequent near audio on peaks battling it out with domestic -
did not hang around
1143Khz UNid - up and down frequently in the session with music and muted
"oriental" sounding talk -
more Chinese leaning - and not Japanese from cadence
1242Khz UNidX2 - an interesting mix here at 1358 (maybe Nick can check his
recording) - a very strident OM
in something very different than Japan - which would be replaced within 10s
or so with Japanese - my best guess
would have been Vietnamese by the cadence, sharpness and tonality.
1566Khz - Korea- Arguably one of the poorest performance in weeks - with
subdued sub-S9 signals on this
nuclear upper band anchor.
1575Khz - Thailand - usual VOA stuff in Khmer/Viet sounding stuff -
somewhat lighter in signal than 1566
Drake R8 + W/NW Flag
Icom - R71A on a N/S 9 meter loop at around 12' above the ground.
