Re: [IRCA] OK, so what's on 594: TPs Orcas Island.

Hi John,
 
It's nice to see somebody else interested in the late-season  shenanigans 
on 594 kHz, and I'd be very interested to hear your MP3 from this  morning 
(around 1515).
 
Because of the Korean-language station mystery recently I spent a lot  of 
time on the 594 frequency, making multiple MP3's of the JOAK-KBS1 mix (four  
good ones now) and the JOAK-UnID Chinese mix (two good ones). I found  that 
JOAK's NHK1 programming often includes content that would be pretty  
deceptive to someone expecting standard Japanese speech, and that while JOAK  would 
occasionally be weaker than the KSB1 Korean or the UnID Chinese  station on 
594 khz, it would never be completely absent. Since you apparently  heard 
an isolated station on 594 khz, it would seem strange that  JOAK didn't at 
least have a trace on the frequency, at that time.
 
Linked below are two recent MP3's of 594-JOAK fighting it out with  
co-channels, on the 9' box loop. The first recording has the KBS1 station  
competing with (and occasionally overtaking) JOAK on November 10th, and the  second 
one has the UnID Chinese temporarily on top of JOAK on November  1. Although 
JOAK would occasionally be weaker, it was always around, which  makes it 
seem strange that it wouldn't at least have a trace in your 1515  recording 
this morning.
 
73, Gary

In  truth, by body count standards, it was a poor morning... About 
half the  "normal" number in audio, high and low and generally, the 
audio was  poor.  On the other hand, there were some real interesting  
things.

639 CNR1 was walking tall most of my 1440-1525  morning

828: a bit after 1500, it was probably Beijing Business Radio  with 
another CC beneath. I presume that NHK2 was off by then

882:  Who was that masked man?

918: BIG echos on the usual Shandong at  1450

1098: I'm pretty sure that it was Radio Taiwan International doing  
much better than usual, with 4+1 pips and nice TOH routine at  1500

1575: Radio Farda, presumed, was putting in some ME music under  VOA at 
1525.

But the big one was, around 1515, who the heck was on  594????  I had 
no other channel with presumed NHK1 on it in audio and  what I had on 
594 was NOT Japanese. It was also not standard Chinese and  it was not 
Korean..... further, it had a distinct ECHO. My best guess  would be 
Taiwan, there are three transmitters there, two with the same  
program... Taipei 2. I should have tried to // this on the 'net, but 
I  did not.  ANY IDEAS!!!  I don't think that it was Mayak, either.  
Recording on request.
