[IRCA] Orcas Isl. TPs: Decent/Good, Not Great

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow,

With what Nigel and the others did, it "should" have been much better 
here!  I had mostly threshold audio on about 75% of the low band and 
20 audios on the upper.  Most of it wasn't really that strong, but 
better than yesterday. Actually the 747//s were not as good as they 
have been and the 1566+1575 grouping was way down, but both managed 
audio late.  There was a little Russian action low, with 549 barely 
there in audio and 576 doing fairly well. 648 was a no-show here.

The only item of real interest was the second or third appearance of 
something just below language recognition on 765. It has a noticeable 
but very tight (close together) echo. According to PAL, there are 
actually two possibilities... YBS in the mountains of central Japan 
with three small transmitters and a Russian near Kharbarovsk with two 
or more slightly more powerful ones. Given the propagation around 
them, I tend to suspect the Russians.

Others briefly at listenable levels were 558 JJ from Kobe, 1017 CRI 
KK Svc. from Manchuria and 1206- KK from Manchuria.

Well, one more morning and then I must pack the antenna and 
radio........ Monday is moving day.
