Re: [IRCA] Fair Morning Only: TPs on Oct 8

[Nigel Pimblett <ntp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This morning was hard to rate, with virtually no TP signals early on, 
then a quick rise just after 1300.   The rise was pretty much limited to 
Japanese stations though.  Actually the powerhouse channels weren't as 
good as they have been, but the second tier was doing quite well, with 
audio on 1053 (with no trace of the jammer), 1134, 1179, 1242, 1287, and 
1422.    Perhaps a frequency related thing, as signal above 1000 khz 
seemed to be doing rather better than the lower end of the dial.  I'd 
never heard sustained audio on 1422 before, but unfortunately the 
programming consisted of non-stop classical music on the piano, and 
sunrise isn't late enough yet for signals to stick around for IDs at 
1400.   Although I've managed to catch a couple this year, gnerally I 
have a knack for missing the best mornings, and yesterday was no 
exception.  I'm not likely to be able to listen tomorrow either, so that 
should mean some good stuff for the rest of you!
