[IRCA] TP for 4Oct09 from Victoria: Good Asian morning

[Walter Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

Listened this morning between 13:18 and 14:30 UTC.  A more northerly reception this morning, with southerly stations weaker than usual.  Overall a very decent morning, especially on the higher band (but I started there and worked down, so perhaps a bias).  The JJ 1st tier stations weren't nearly as strong as usual, especially 594, although Hokkaido 567 was booming in.  Here's the list, with "6" unless otherwise noted.  By the way, SF72, A0, K2.

558:  KBS2 at 9 at 14:06
567:  9 level NHK1 at 14:07 and weak cochannel.
594:  8 level NHK1 and cochannel at 14:07
603:  9 level KBS2
612:  Brisbane at 8 level
621:  CC and North Korea at 7.5 level.  North Korea on 621.905.  The neat thing is I'm able to notch out either the N.K. or Chinese station (on exactly 621) with Perseus
and hear either one or the other station!  Very impressive, and even more so on the waterfall where the notch simply shows as a black hole!
639:  CNR1 at 9 level 14:04.  
640:  Thanks to Colin for messaging me that KYUK was in loud and clear at 14:03 with local weather.  Very good.
657:  N. Korea at 7
702:  6 level.  2 stations on 702 and 702.031
720:  6 level 720 and 719.84
738:  7 level at 14:13
747:  9 level NHK2 with English lesson at 14:13
756:  7

783:  7 level with pop music at 14:15 and oriental cochannel.
792:  7 level

1161:  CC at 13:59 at 8 level
1170:  8 level strong CC music, and another CC speaker at 13:57 under KPUG, so perhaps both KBS and VOA?

1215, 1224, 1233, 1242, 
1251:  7 level.  Perhaps VOR CC ?//7300 plus another CC station plus possibly yet another cochannel at 13:52

1377:  CNR1 at 8 level
1386
1440:  8.5 level JJ over domestic at 13:32
1458:  John's great catch.  Audio here at 7 level and possibly // the SW 7270, but SW not propagating well until well after LSR here.
1467:  7
1494:  7

1566:  8 level HLAZ at 13:25 and same level at 14:24

1701:  weak audio at 6 late, with 3 carriers noted on 1701.008, .034 and .050

That's it from a windy but blue sky Victoria!  .....Walt Salmaniw
