[IRCA] report from mid-ocean
Am presently out in the Pacific, roughly 17 30 N, 157 15W,
using 16 foot on a side triangular ALA 100 driving DR333 and SDR14. Shipboard
electrical noise makes listening very tough from about 800 to 1100 kHz, with
some effect either side, but 1200kHz on up isn't bad.
This morning, around 1500
UT, it wasn't too great, but things improved, with peak around 1550UT. The
Japanese on 1242 was most consistent hanging on until after 1630UT (LSR is
1615UT), and many other Japanese were heard. Some Chinese, Filipino, and
Korean rounded things out; only three Aussies for sure, and no sign of RFO on
738 (just 2NR and Taiwan).
No sign of Guy's signal on 1322, even as a carrier, though there wasn't much
Filipino action overall.
Sure are a lot of Hawaiian stations, but really, I shouldn't be complaining
about their splatter on the 9 kHz channels; it isn't that bad especially
compared with listening at home. Besides, a number of them have some quite TP
sounding programming. KPHI-1130 with Tagalog had me puzzled for a minute or two...
best wishes,
Nick
