[IRCA] TP for 18 Dec 2011 from Victoria: another excellent morning

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Slept in a little this morning, and I wondered whether I had missed the
boat, but the upper half of the band was very much alive, with some not
often heard frequencies.  I started the session at 15:39 UTC and continued
for the next half hour or more.  SF 120 A 0 K (12:00) 0.  No space weather.
 Sure wished I was up at the DX cottage on Haida Gwaii, as I suspect
conditions would have been very nice.  Last night, 1215 had quite a strong
carrier.  A few more days of such low solar activity could bode well for TA
activity, but somehow, I doubt it'll last until I'm up on Haida Gwaii later
this week.  We'll see!  A few mysteries as well below.  Feel free to
comment!!!

774:  7 level at 15:45 with 1000 Hz test tones.  Not sure who, cochannel to
NHK2
1008
1098:  7 level OC
1116:  6 level.  Would be much better except for splatter
1161:  7 level
1188
1224:  8 level with oriental sounding EZL music at 15:40.  Not sure who
this is.  Ideas?
1233, 1269
1287:  7 level
1314, 1332, 1386
1395:  8 level, probable Anhui at 15:55, despite IBOC hash from 1380, but
audible at great level with the razor sharp filtering of the Perseus SDR.
1422:  6.5 level
1485:  7
1494
1503:  7 level.  Not sure who, as strong carrier and weak modulation at
15:57
1557:  8 level WYFR
1566:  9 level HLAZ
1575:  9 level VOA
1593:  8 level CNR1

That's it for today!  73 to everyone!  ........Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
