[IRCA] TP for 18 Oct from Victoria, BC
Was particularly bleary eyed this morning it seems, as it took awhile to realize that the best antenna had broken in the night, and it wasn't possible to find the problem in the dark. DXed with what I had (the northerly Flag), and must say that conditions seemed quite odd until about 1415UT or so, meaning that even the big gun Japanese were down, signals were erratic, and 594 for example was battling with something else with an oriental sound to it. At around 1415 however, things settled down to more normal, but didn't seem as good as yesterday. Quit listening a little after 1430 as a result.
pretty darn good audio (at least briefly):
279 R. Rosii
558 KK talk, so HLQH, but not at this strength until 1423UT
594 JOAK , not until later
774 JOUB later
828 JOBB later
972 HLCA the biggest station of the morning until the big Japanese recovered later on.
1575 VoA
reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise):
189 R. Rossii
567 JOIK //594 at 1406
612 JOLK //594 at 1420
747 JOIB but not until 1415UT
936 likely Anhui at 1408UT
1566 HLAZ, maybe peaking up a little higher later
not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise:
585 JOPG //594
603 2 stations
621 CC talk
702 N. Korea w/ubiquitous hum
756 3 and 1 pips at 1400, likely HLKA; CC pips underneath
846 NHK1 synchros //594
873 JOGB //774
945 CNR-1, but at least one other, didn't seem to be NHK1
1017 CRI, operatic singing //5965
1377 CNR-1 //5030
Burbles in the splatter and noise:
153, 657 (mostly hum), 1098, 1269, 1278, 1287 plus others not noted, as they were only around for a few seconds at a time
Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):
1251
best wishes,
Nick
