[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 23 September 2017



I first got up around 1215 UTC, let out the cat, and checked the radio. Things sounded very dull, and I very nearly went back to bed. That would have been a big mistake as it turned out. In general things continued to sound dull, with the Asians (other than HLAZ) vanishing after their 1 morning visit, and the recently regular DU signals not doing much either. A strong carrier on 1296 was unusual, so I stayed there through 1300, and thought perhaps I'd heard traces of the ABC news fanfare (not knowing what that meant at the time), but it was at imagination level, so I didn't think much of it. A bit later on I got more audio on 1296. Sounded like a BBC program at first, so was thinking 4RPH, which would have been a new catch for me. Didn't match the website though, and after a bit I realized it was an ABC pgm, and matched up with the RN sked for Western Australia. After that it was easy to match up my recording with the podcast. Once I'd pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming it sank it that I'd finally heard my first station from Western Australia, and the most distant station I've ever logged. (Checked later, and it's 15,700 km) Just proves once again that you never know what is going to show up on any given day.

Today's audio:

612 4QR Brisbane, QLD, AUSTRALIA Assumed the one in weakly under IBOC noise with woman talking at 1316.

1116	4BC	Brisbane, QLD, AUSTRALIA	Just traces of man talking at 1313.

1296 6RN Wagin, WA, AUSTRALIA Heard man and woman talking at 1313, with short segments of opera music. Checking the web site it turned out to be a program about opera star Joan Sutherland. Poor-fair audio for about 5 minutes.

1566 HLAZ, Jeju,KOREA,S. Noted at 1259 with Christian song, then talk by woman in Japanese. The only Asian to make it today.
