Re: [IRCA] TP for 24 Jan from Victoria, BC

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello Nick,
 
As both you and Bill have noted, the TP conditions took a serious dive this 
 morning. As opposed to great conditions on a near-barefoot Tecsun PL-380 
early  yesterday morning (with a simple Litz wire substitution), this morning 
around  0900 UTC the Asians certainly didn't sound very vibrant.
 
Weak audio was observed intermittently on the modified PL-380 around 0915  
on 594, 747, 828 and 972 kHz, but it was nothing to shout about. 738 kHz  
was close to audio (with an Asian bearing, presumably Taiwan Fisheries), and  
1566 came pretty close also.
 
This was in great contrast to early yesterday morning, with solid TP  audio 
on about 7 TP's from 1030-1115 (including 1134-KBS), all on a Tecsun  
PL-380 with substituted 40/44 Litz wire. The Asian sunset propagation boost  
apparently went well beyond 1115, (although my sleepy motivation did not  :-)  
It was really the best DXing session all month, and hopefully will be  
repeated very soon.

ferrite bar)

As Bill  noted, conditions were down this morning.  I didn't listen as much 
as  yesterday, on and off between 1510 and 1545UT.   One apparent DU  noted 
on 612; I've never thought of the ABC stations as heavily modulated, but  
this one seems to deliver audio with a weaker carrier than is the case with  
most of the Asiatics.

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

none


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

594  JOAK
774 JOUB 
828 JOBB


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

747 JOIB
972 HLCA
1503 JOUK //594 at 1540UT
1593 CNR-1  later on //6125 

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) :

279 R. Rossii
567 likely JOIK, but no parallel  on 594 available at the times this was up
603 at 1538; Korea?
612 DU per  the loop, so likely 4QR
639 seemed //6125 , so CNR-1
954 at  1534UT
1242 at 1539UT
1287 at 1539UT
1566 later on; usual big  carrier



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

1098 DU; 1575



best  wishes,

Nick
