[IRCA] TP for 20 Apr from Victoria, BC

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

This was an "I have no idea why this is happening" morning.  Started listening
at 1245UT, and HLAZ was holding down 1566 very nicely, and continued that way
for the next 20 minutes or so.  1287 had weak audio on an Asiatic bearing.  And
then, all other audio (mostly quite weak) was below 900kHz, and entirely DU.
Geomagnetic conditions have remained pretty quiet, but there was a slight burp
in the solar wind density and speed, but nothing compared with some recent
excursions, so no obvious explanation (to me) of this best DU morning since
probably last fall.


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

1566 HLAZ


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

702 2BL at 1249UT


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

594 3WV //702
612 4QR //594 at 1259UT
846 DU sounding talk by man; likely 2RN, though for some reason no signal on 
792 which is generally more likely here.


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) :

747  seemed //612 w/man talking at 1306UT, so 4QS
738, didn't seem //702, so Tahiti?
774  also seemed //612, at 1313UT, so 3LO
855 //702 at 1303UT, so 4QB/4QO
1287 Asian bearing, likely JOHR; done by 1255UT




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

639 DU, 1053, 1098, 1475, 1575



best wishes,

Nick
