Re: [IRCA] more minimalist TA (783) and morning DU check

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Despite heavy continuous static, S9+10 to +20, I had weak aural 783 het from 
about 0530-0615 utc. Nothing anywhere else. On LW even stronger NDBs drowned 
out by the strong static.

This morning had 891 DU poor/weak at 1200 utc, lots of other hets but not 
close to audio. But at 1212 utc 738 was poor/weak with man speaking rapidly 
in possible French. Did not sound like DU and 891 and 1116 just poor hets 
then. Anyone else check 738 this morning--did Tahiti do something to improve 
their signal? All gone by 1220.

I continue to check 1710 Russian signal. I frequently hear it at TOH/BOH and 
have never heard anything sounding like a break for a station ident. The 
programming never seems to be tied to our local time. A man/woman drama was 
going on at 1124 utc, continuing through BOH and afterwards. 1200 utc had 
vocal music before and after TOH. Missed it at BOH but still weak at times 
at 1243 utc with vocal music. Was man "preaching" before that.
