[IRCA] Victoria B.C. TP's October 4 - Nibbles at the tapas bar

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

Today was arguably less exciting than yesterday - that said, with some
better management of time and more
patient band scanning (and frequent looks at Nick's West Flag fish bowl
report...) some interesting flavours emerged.

567 Khz / 594 Khz - NHK Japan - frequent visitor during a session that
lasted from 1338 until 1435 | heard at 1339 UTC

603 Khz UNid - Deep voiced YL often heard through session virtually all
alone and often not a peep on 600 - so no QRM - 1340 UTC

612 Khz Brisbane, Australia 4QR - at good levels and 100% copy occasionally
from 1352 UTC through 1413 UTC

639 Khz China (t) - Assume the Chinese speaker here briefly in the earlier
part of the set with virtually nothing present on 640 khz 1341 UTC

747 Khz Japan - the obvious choice with JJ OM and lesson stuff from time to
time - 1342 UTC

774 Khz Japan - last in and last out - almost continuously from 1335 until
the last wisp of audio at 1435 UTC - https://youtu.be/h6OXafGVkXw

828 Khz Japan - pretty much the 3rd or 4th pick for morning supremacy with
typical NHK programming - 1340 UTC

891 Khz UNid - several contenders all morning until 1421 UTC but no real
winners - generally poppy sounding music and
spoken word that sounded somewhat Japanese in terms of cadence - but just
not sure.  1345 through 1420 UTC

972 Khz - Korea - sharing the 3rd or 4th spot for signal of the morning -
but never achieving greatness - often in audio and
not appearing on the NHP - FB (accounting for his West facing antenna) 1424
UTC

1053 Khz - S. Korea / Japan (t) - jammer most of the morning but by 1407
was replaced by a Japanese speaking woman - much to my surprise

1116 Khz - ABC 4BC Brisbane - surprised to hear much of any DU - 1349 -
with EE OM talk

1143 Khz - UNid - frequent talk (CC sounding) and music - but battling
co-channel - 1405 UTC
---
1242 Khz - *UNid* - 2nd to last to leave the session this morning - with
very percussive/wooden sounding music and YL heavy pop/torch song
sounding content - that matched 774Khz staying power right up to the last
seconds. https://youtu.be/yqMPisIPJZI
---
1314 Khz - UNid - China? - very busy sounding CC YL - only brief
appearances during the sesh... 1356 UTC

1422 Khz - UNid - OM in lang - but never very good - 1357 UTC

1503 Khz - UNid - YL Chat in non-CC/JJ with long sustained pip on the hour
- 1400 UTC

1566 Khz - S. Korea - winner of the signal of the morning award - but
constantly challenged by 1575 Thailand - making it more of an
upper band morning than a lower band morning - all the time from 1338
through 1420 fade out.

1575 Khz - VOA Thailand - actually pushing 1566 aside as the signal of the
morning from time to time with Viet/Khmer/Lao type talk. 1350 UTC

Lots and lots of carriers and audio snippets on the likes of 837, 909, 918,
954, 1017, 1278, 1287, 1386, etc

Not a lot of nutrition this morning. Lots of snacks and a hungry feeling
afterward.

Receiver Drake R8 / West / Northwest Flag + Wellbrook FLG100LN Head Amp and
HomeBrew VACTROL Termination remote controller
                ICOM R71a - Wellbrook ALA100 N/S 9 meter loop at 12 ' above
ground
