[IRCA] Today's TP DX - more of the same



This morning seemed about equal to the last few. Some stations were better, some were worse. Not a big difference overall.

The oddball of the morning was something with 3+1 time pips and what I'm sure was Chinese talk on 639 at 1400. The language was definitely not JJ or KK. If the Chinese was CNR1, they were way out of their normal routine, as the pips were not the normal ones, there was no time check after the pips, and no big musical fanfare and ID like they usually do. What's more strange is I had something similar at 1300 on 1170, 3+1 pips which I thought was KBS, but all the talk was Chinese, with none of the familiar theme songs that I've come to know and expect from CNR1 and KBS. Did anyone else notice anything unusual on CNR1 this morning?

Here's what my SDR recorded between 1225 and 1510 today. Due to a setup error, I didn't record 920-1110, so I probably missed a few things

Really nice audio at times, good enough for a native speaker to understand most of it
594 Japan, sometimes crystal clear, sometimes unintelligible
693 Japan
747 Japan
774 Japan

Fair audio, good enough for a native speaker to follow some of it, even if just for brief periods
639   China (presumably), see above
720 CNR2, sometimes stronger than the KIRO splat and computer noise, YL talk & time pips 1400 738 Taiwan briefly dominant at 1325, KBS briefly dominant at 1350, a mishmosh of mostly weak audio between those times
828   Japan, not nearly as good as 693/747/774
1170 China, see above
1206  Yanbian

Marginal, could recognize bits of programming, but a native speaker wouldn't have understood it
549   Russia, chimes and pips at 1400
558   KBS//603
585   Japan //594
603 KBS//558
612  presumed Japan
621 Unid, like usual there was too much KCIS splatter to even figure out the language
657   presume NK
702   Japan
729   Japan w/talk & pips 1400
756   unid
855   N Korea
891  unid
909 unid
1134 KBS
1278 unid
1287 probably Japan
1422   Japan
1566   HLAZ

Carriers sometimes with real or imaginary traces of audio
666 675 783 792 819 837 846 864 918 1116 1179 1188 1215 1242 1269 1485(!) 1494 1503 1557 1575
