Hi Nick,

You are right, Nick!

After our discussion concerning 603-HLSA yesterday, the station must have appreciated the attention... around 1255 this morning it pegged the PL-380 S/N display for the first time ever here with its pop music. It was in a vibrant mix with 603-China for much of the session, but its signals were easily the strongest ever heard here in 7 years of TP-DXing. Its parallel 558-HLQH also had no trouble being heard, and 639-CNR1 managed a huge signal at 1318 with male-female Chinese conversation. The grandma on 657-Pyongyang even got in a good tirade at 1313-- along with the Chinese co-channel trying to silence her at times.

More details later.

73, Gary

Well, Gary probably heard Korea in a big way this morning.  My first 
N. Koreans of the season were heard, HLSA and HLQH were back, 774 
holding past 1400UT etc. etc.   Not much China though.



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

594 JOAK man in JJ 1252UT and other times
774 JOUB man in JJ 1247 and 1352UT, and other times I'm sure
1566 HLAZ woman in JJ  1312UT



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

279 R. Rossii woman in RR 1301UT
567 JOIK man talking, woman laughing, peaked at 1253UT //594
603 HLSA laid back western style vocal mx 1304-1306UT followed by man in  KK
639 CNR1 woman in CC 1318UT; also 1254UT, likely earlier as well per 
DXFishbarrel recording
693 JOAB man w/wx report 1314UT, nulling CBU-690 w/Flag termination 
sure helped
747 JOIB man JJ 1345UT
828 JOBB SS lessons covering the months 1258UT
873 JOGB man in JJ 1335UT, //828 etc.
972 HLCA man in KK 1258UT, and many other times
1053 jammer wasn't as lively this morning compared with its contemporaries
1575 VoA man in SE Asian language 1324UT, best on N. Flag; these guys 
are well modulated

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

612 4QR likely, man in DU EE, with woman agreeing...
666 JOBK man in forthright JJ //594 1311UT
819 N. Korea operatic singing by woman 1334UT //2850
873 N. Korea operatic singing //2850 1328UT, fading in and out with JOGB
954 JOKR likely JJ pop mx 1349UT
1323 CRI male ballad 1327UT,  same ballad turned up on 963 a minute 
later, but difficult to get them both together, though did so at a 
lower level than this at 1331UT, think 1323 was leading slightly
1566 man in CC 1348; I swear HLAZ came back stronger after the 
pattern change, presumably coming out of a deep fade


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) :


153 R. Rossii male ballad 1259UT //279, but lagging it, pips on hour
558 HLQH male ballad //603 1336UT
612 man talking, DU EE inflection, 1341UT
657 man in sombre KK sounding talk likely N. Korea, but couldn't snag 
any parallel 1338UT
864 much JJ inflected talk by man at various times, but could never 
get it //1287, so who knows?
963 CRI male ballad //1323 1329UT
1044 unID 1251UT, if JJ talk, it was very clipped
1242 JOLF seems likely, man in JJ inflected talk 1326 and pop mx1349UT
1287 this was never up to much whenever I tuned by, Pips at 1300 were 
//864, but could never get the two of them up at the same time



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

531 621 648 675 702(hum) 837 846 918 945 1008 1017 1035 1143 1179 
1251 1377 1422


best wishes,

Nick
