[IRCA] TP for 13 Nov from Victoria, BC.

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Tuned in at 1445UT this morning to find a fairly lively band already, so was looking forward to a nice bit of further enhancement after 1500, but no, not really, just sort of gently started to fade away, with occasional temporary fades up to good strength.    I also found that there were quite a number of good carriers with no real audio, perhaps there was more local noise than usual, but the splatter seemed lively also.  Still, quite a lot of audio noted as well, considerably better than yesterday, so no complaints. And, JOUB might have been the strongest heard this season.


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

594 JOAK, but not always; some deep fades
774 JOUB really strong; beyond this category and nearly into the land of the semi-local...at least for a little while about 1450UT
828 JOBB at 1445, with something else underneath
972 HLCA becoming stronger past 1500UT
1566 HLAZ




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

567 JOIK much better than //594 at 1448UT, something else underneath
702 NHK2 //774  at 1450UT
747 JOIB
837 JJ talk not //594, but from 1455 many NHK1 have local news and weather  etc., so likely JOQK
873 JOGB //828, but trading places with singing from N. Korea //2850
945 CNR1 presumed w/CC talk at 1520UT

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

603 big carrier w/mx //558 also at this strength; two stations on 603
639 CNR-1 //945 at 1452
657 N. Korea
936 CC talk at 1514; large carrier
954 JJ talk at 1455, so JOKR
981 CNR-1 //639
1134 KK talk,  so HLKC likely



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) :

675
711
738, big carrier, mumbly talk
756 not //6030, so KBS??
864 weak singing at 1458, gone by top of hour
882 sounded like two stations at 1501UT, too murky for any clues
918 mx, possibly CC talk at 1511
1269 big carrier, weak mx



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

1053, 1089, 1098 (Asian for a change), 1107, 1251, 1323



best wishes,

Nick
