[IRCA] My first TP ever (JOIB-747) - now the challenge is to hear it on a UL

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yesterday morning (Oct 19) at 1355 UTC I noticed using a DX-375 a  
strong het on 690, presumably
from JOAB however no audio could be pulled out. This led me today to  
check the Japan frequencies,
using a barefoot GE Superadio  II. The het was still there from 1340  
- 1400, but still no audio.
Tuning to 747, at times JOIB was armchair copy. Tried for it on my  
Gary DeBock aligned
SRF-59 but signal had faded by the time I got the SRF-59 on the right  
frequency. Still thrilling
to get audio on a TP for the first time ever, more so using a  
barefoot portable in RF noisy Calgary AB.
The icing on the cake will be to receive it on the SRF-59, needless  
to say will try this tomorrow.
Will also try the other NHK powerhouse frequencies - too back I have  
50 kW local CHQR-770 which would
make reception of JOUB-774 difficult.

Perhaps I should move to the west coast:)
