[IRCA] TP for 26 Nov from Victoria, BC

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Got up early this morning and started listening at 1340UT, for about 20 minutes, then snippets here and there until 1520, when I did another 20 minute session.   It was actually a bit better than yesterday, with some good signal strengths on the big guns at times, though my impression is that the longer you listen, the more you will hear, because things fade up, often for short periods.  For example, today, JOKR-954 was at near perfect listening level for a couple of minutes around 1421UT, with a telephone interview by two men.   Would have missed it completely, but for some reason, left the R8 on that channel while getting on with other things in the room   But finding that sort of serendipity makes DXing hard work though, and most of the stuff heard today was, as John mentions, in the "barely there" category.


pretty darn good audio, at least briefly  (all of it understandable by a native speaker)


594 JOAK (sometimes with one more underneath)
774 JOUB
828 JOBB 
954 JOKR at 1421UT
972 HLCA at 1520UT; this had been much weaker earlier and fighting with something else
1575 VoA at 1451 UT


reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker,
though often battling w/splash or noise):

639 CNR-1 //5030 at 1405; seemed to be something else there also.
747 JOIB at 1531UT


not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker

189 and 279 R. Rossii
666 JOBK //594 plus one more that was probably Mayak, logged later
873 JOGB //828 at 1421 and 1521UT
1287 likely JOHR at 1527UT

Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) :

531 JOQG //594 
549 likely Mayak, but never a // available
558 HLQH //603, plus JOCR likely in there also
567 JOIK //594, plus one other station
576 Mayak //666 at 1451
612 per DF, this was 4QR at 1400 and 1533UT
621 at 1350UT
648 presumably Russia, good carrier
657 w/hum, likely N. Korea
675 Vietnam?
738
837 at 1450UT
846 at 1424 //594; NHK1 synchros
936 big carrier, little audio
963 CRI?
1008 at 1532UT; JJ inflected talk suggests JONR
1134 at 1522 JOQR?? as not //5030 or 972
1143 CC sounding mx, not //738 at 1452
1242 at 1539UT
1566 at 1340UT; mostly just a big carrier at best






Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):

1116


best wishes,

Nick
