[IRCA] Yesterday's DX in Seattle



I finally found the time to go through Friday's SDR files.

+++++++++++

TA reception last night was better than normal, with a few stations providing tantalizing bits of audio:

693 & 909 - parallel British-accented mumbling 0233

864ÂÂÂ Egypt fair at times with Koranic recitations 0235

1413ÂÂÂ Radio Vesti, weak Russian talk & time pips 0300, weak talk at other times

+++++++++++++

TP DX was also above average, with an impressive high-band enhancement at about 1540. Here's the highlight reel:

747ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ JOIB sign off 1540 fair w/NA & music box

819 DPRK, 3+1 pips, woman in Korean, then music (orchestra & female soprano) 1400. The carrier was cutting through KGNW splash quite well but modulation was a bit shallow

837ÂÂÂ CHINA, 5+1 pips ending at 1400:20, then Chinese talk, weak signal, probably Harbin

981ÂÂÂ CNR1 good with woman in Chinese 1520

1215ÂÂÂ CHINA, 1500 weak 5+1 pips & woman in Chinese

1467 UNID, mostly melodic voiced female & occasional male voice, probably from the same station 1540-1548. Couldn't determine language. Signal was mostly weak, occasionally fair. Not much listed, HLKN is the most likely candidate, NHK2 had signed off.

1548ÂÂÂ UNID, 1543-1548 weak talk in domestic splash, possibly Chinese, mostly female

1566 HLAZ was still audible well after our 1536 UT sunrise. Noted with Russian talk at fair level 1713, with audio level tapering off after that. Carrier finally dropped into the noise around 1835 (10:35 AM LT)

1593ÂÂÂ CNR1 1546 man in Chinese fair-good during pauses in KLFE splatter

1602ÂÂÂ NHK2 1542 faint chimes from music box after sign off
