[IRCA] TP's on Thursday - much improved
Contrarian that I am, I'm going to disagree with everyone else and say
that TPs were good this morning. In fact, the best they've been since
last Saturday.
After several days of ho-hum/mediocre/so-so/humdrum/same'ol-same'ol DX,
there were a few interesting things to be had today. I recorded a bit
of the band (700-900 kHz) for couple of hours around 0800-1000 UT, and
low-mid band towards sunrise. There was lots of activity both times,
though nothing was all that strong. The domestic splatter seemed to be
worst than usual, making it harder to hear some stations that otherwise
had decent signal strength
Here's the summary
Really good audio (a native speaker could understand most of it, at
least for a brief time)
594 Japan
747 Japan
Somewhat OK audio (a native speaker could understand some of it some of
the time)
639 China
666 Japan //594
693 Japan
729 Mix of Japan and China
738 Mix of Taiwan and Korea
774 Japan
828 Japan, with bits of China in background
Marginal audio (recognizable as to program content but mostly not good
enough to comprehend)
549 Russia
603 Unid
621 Unid Chinese
648 Russia, sometimes good for a few seconds, but mostly bashed around
by CISL splatter
576 Russia, decent signal but too much KVI splash
702 Unid, probably Japan
756 China
783 Unid(s), sounded like CC at times, unid language at other times
819 N Korea
846 weak pips, not sure whose
855 N Korea
1026 2 Chinese stations, one possibly Beijing
1035 CNR, with echoey audio
1053 Unid
1071 weak M&W in language that didn't sound like CC or JJ, possibly
Tagalog 1257, definitely Chinese 1308
1098 Unid, possibly Nei Menggu in Mongolian 1305
1107 Unid
1116 Unid
1134 Japan or Korea, too much CKWX splash to tell
1206 Yanbian
Carriers (sometimes with real or imaginary bits of audio)
531 558 567 585 657 792 1044 1125 1179
