Re: [IRCA] TPs for 3-20

Finally, checking in, trying to make sense of my scrawls and recordings.

According to the propagation monitor, there was a pronounced sunrise 
peak around 1415 UT (local sunrise to the moment), on all monitored 
channels, including 1548 which rarely shows anything through the 
splash, but monitoring was done off and on from about 1250  through 1430UT.

Some wild stuff....if there was an ID at 1300UT, on 1206,  I probably 
just missed it (still trying to make sense of the recording), one of 
the stronger signals on the band at that time.   Conditions were the 
best on the upper band that they've been for awhile, though that just 
meant hearing 1566 and 1593 comfortably; still not earth 
shattering.  Strangest was a blast of what to my untrained ear 
sounded like Tagalog on 1116, then buried by splatter, but briefly quite good.



Good audio though usually fighting with splash :  747, 774, 828 
(x2?), 972, 1017JJ, 1044CC, 1116 (who?) 1206CC, 1242 JJ, 1566, 
1593  (plus 711 w/mx; carrier wasn't strong though; does somebody 
overmodulate here?)

The occasional word allowing possible language recognition, but 
mostly splash: 567JJ,  603 ?,  612 (Aussie), 639, 693 JJ, 873, 945, 
963, 972, 1125 not NHK, 1143, 1278, 1386, 1575


Burbles in the splatter:  558, 738, 756, 846, 855 hum, 918, 927, 936, 
954, 981, 1008, 1035, 1161, 1179, 1188, 1224, 1287, 1314, 1323, 1467, 
1475, 1476 x 2 (hum), 1512


strong carrier, no audio:  864

Sort of like "rabbit in the headlights" DXing....just didn't know 
which way to turn to try to find IDs or parallels...

best wishes,

Nick
