[IRCA] Victoria TP quick thoughts. was: Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-3

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Yes, 738.   Quite strong a number of times through the morning, 
French talk, various sorts of music etc. up to and including sunrise, 
though weaker then.   702 made a brief appearance with DU English 
1421UT, presumed 2BL.  756 was also close to audio then.


Although there was no sign of sunrise activity from Asia, there were 
actually some signals earlier.  Around 1240UT, 747 was creeping 
through with a man in recognizable Japanese, and // with a weaker 774 
as well.   1053 was carrying on with its hugely popular programming, 
though quite weak.   None of these were heard for long.    Oddly, the 
only appearance of 612 was around this time also.

best wihes,

Nick
