[IRCA] Michigan TP Asian logs this morning, October 28th, 2018

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

I woke up early and started my session at 1000 UT with the hope of catching
some audio from 1566 HLAZ after receiving a hint of the station a few days
ago.  Not even a carrier this morning.  Then I started dialing down the
band and was totally unprepared for what followed.  It had me learning
Japanese, Korean, and Chinese frequencies in a hurry.  In the 10 years or
so I've been doing this, the logs below are all new.  These stations just
don't make it to Michigan as I've learned from years of trying.  I guess
all it takes is a good solar minimum!

Listening session: 1000 UT - 1230 UT
Local sunrise: 1214 UT

594 carrier strong at times and a little threshold audio at 1100 UTC TOH
allowing weak time pips to come through which seemed to match those used by
NHK (3+1).


693 JOAB with mostly continuous audio with man & woman talking from 1012 UT
up through 1200 UT, downright good at times against the domestic splatter.
3+1 time pips noted at 1100 & 1200 UT TOH.  Recording:

702 UNID w/ threshold audio at 1154 UT, presumed Asian or perhaps just a
weak DU off the North DKAZ (but no other common DUs were noted).


747 UNID some audio at 1152 UT, man talking, but no hope at recovering
audio while sandwiched between CFZM & CKJH.  Any parallel to check for?


774 JOUB, like 693 with mostly continuous audio from 1030 through 1200 UT
and astonishly good at times // to 693.  3+1 time pips noted at 1100 & 1200
UT TOH.  Recording: https://youtu.be/NZj6ju9flYg


828 UNID talk & language @ 1149 UT up through 1200 UT, strong signal but
not strong enough to overcome WCCO splatter.


972 HLCA? with music and talk in unid language under very heavy domestic
splatter.  3+1 time pips noted at 1200 UT TOH.  Recording:

1205.960 with audio for a brief moment at 1147 UT, woman talking in what
sounded like an Asian language under domestic splatter.  Some music noted
at 1159 UT, TOH fanfare?  MWoffsets suggest China.  A weak het also noted
near nominal.  Recording: https://youtu.be/Aad-_17OQCg


TP hets all over the band!
