Re: [IRCA] TPs Sept 3: Orcas Island Down a Bit, But Interesting

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi John,
 
Last Sunday morning at Grayland there was good propagation to both Asia and 
 Tahiti, and I had a chance to investigate the 738 "ragged carrier" from a  
much better DXing location than Puyallup.
 
Tahiti had a very clean carrier and good audio, but the opposite loop  
direction (Asiatic TP) had a ragged, "North Korean"sounding carrier with weak  
audio. After digging out the audio, I was fairly sure it was Mandarin Chinese 
 (or at least one of the Chinese dialects, of which I do have some 
familiarity).  Unfortunately I did not check the 1143 parallel at the time, however, 
being  preoccupied with chasing DU's during the short one-night trip. So I 
can't say  that I'm 100% sure of the Taiwan Fisheries identity, but this 
ragged 738 TP  carrier certainly has both strength and nastiness, reminding one 
of  Pyongyang-657 at its worst.
 
73, Gary

Thanks  for that URL, Bill. Yes, I've heard the South Korean, but 
rarely. In past  years, what I usually hear on 738 is Taiwan 
Fisheries//1143.  Since  Gary heard them this morning with a "ragged" 
signal, I'm leaning to them  being the culprit. They have always been 
clean in the past, but then so  has Taegu.

Take care, and thanks!
