[IRCA] TP DX 9-14-10

I got up early enough to listen in real time today. Which was fortunate because a computer issue prevented the SDR from recording. I guess it's time to dump Vista and try Windows 7. 

HLAZ-1566 had by far the best signal, and the only one that was consistently readable. It seems to have fixed its audio problems from last season. 

Several others produced decent audio at times, but the strength was very much inconsistent. 

A few frequencies like 801 and 1431 produced tantalizing hets (see below). No audio was noted, but they might be worth watching as conditions pick up in the coming weeks 

Here are the stations that were noted from 1320 to 1335 UT 

Good audio, completely or mostly understandable by a native speaker, if only briefly 
774 JOUB 
972 Korea (second best) 
1206 China (briefly) 
1566 HLAZ (the best) 

Fair audio, some of it understandable by a native speaker, if only briefly 
594 Japan 
693 Japan 
747 Japan 

Weak audio, recognizable content but not quite readable 
828 presumed JOBB 
1134 Talk 
1332 Japan 
1422 Japan 
1475 presumed Sabah, with het from 1476 

Carriers & hets, some with real or imaginary traces of audio 
549, 567, 621, 639, 648, 738, 756 (trace audio), 801, 909, 936 (audio traces), 981, 1053, 1179, 1269 (nothing noted on 1278/1287), 1431(a screamer), 1575
