Hi Bruce,
Thanks for your detailed TP report today (and always), which always provides a very interesting comparison.
<<< 603 continues to amaze me for its total lack of audio here. Gary for
some reason keeps getting amazing receptions there like the one he
posted this morning, but I seldom hear more than a carrier. Oddly
enough, the carrier is about as strong as JOAK-594 many mornings; but it
just doesn't produce anything. >>>
Well, it works both ways, Bruce. Almost every morning you report some good-level TP's that never a manage a trace here (567 and 819 this morning, for example). Those two were probably lost in the Seattle 570 and 820 splatter here-- victims of a $50 radio's version of DSP filtering.
For some unknown reason,this location seem to provide a boost for low-band Chinese signals, while yours and Dennis' seem to favor Japan. Nick seems to get the best of both worlds, although we haven't yet heard from him today.
73, Gary

Conditions here were down a bit from yesterday. There were quite a few
stations to be heard, but the big guns were weaker than normal, and the
rest were mostly near their normal signal strength.

On the other hand, the 819 North Korean managed to slip past KGNW today
with a few minutes of reasonably good audio. I may have also gotten
audio on 1089 next to my 50kw local, but it may have been my
imagination. The mystery 891 Chinese station was back again, but it was
way too weak to offer clues about its identity, except possibly the time
pips at 1400.
A few Alaskans were heard as well, including both Nome stations.
Good
747 JOIB, CC lessons 1338, seemed to be repeating basic one syllable
sounds rather than having actual conversations
750 KFQD, atop for a few minutes 1323 w/local news and IDs
981 CNR1 CC woman at decent level 1334. Still there 1400 with time
pips, TC and ID
Fair
567 JOIK, 3+1 pips 1300, m&w //594 1309
594 JOAK, 1300-1400, signal below normal, fair at best today
640 KYUK?, unintelligible anmt 1300, then start of NPR news
670 KDLG? BBC nx o/u KBOI 1304, too weak to hear ID at 1300
693 JOAB, weather report 1303
774 JOUB, weaker than normal today, best at 1332 w/CC lesson //747
819 DPRK, strident talk cutting through KGNW-820 splatter 1320, then
fem vocal music.
850 KICY, Christian song, 1300 woman:"serving Hooper Bay, Little
Diomede and all of Western Alaska, this is KICY Nome" mixing w/KHHO
890 KBBI, woman w/legal ID for KBBI & an FM in Kenai-Soldotna, then
marine weather 1400 after CJDC mostly faded out
945 CNR1, one set of pips at 1300, then another set ending at
1300:10. CC talk, then standard ID 1300:45. KJR was being relatively
mellow at the time.
963 CRI, RR talk 1340, still there 1400 w/IS and usual trumpet fanfare
972 KBS not its usual self today, noticeably weaker than normal, best
at 1312 with woman in KK
1017 CRI, usual opening w/IS, fanfare, IDs in CC & KK, then what
sounded like news in KK
1053 jammer
1566 HLAZ down noticeably today, JJ talk 1314
1575 VOA, in briefly w/m&w in Vietnamese, ments of Washington &
United States, otherwise just weak audio or a carrier
Poor
585 JOPG, bits of talk, 3+1 pips 1300
639 CNR1, CC talk and BoH time signal in KCIS splash 1330
648 CC talk in domestic splash 1335
657 DPRK time pips & bits of talk 1300 in domestic splash
666 JOBK time pips 1300
738 CC talk 1338, man & woman
756 China today rather than Japan. CC talk and BOH time signal 1330
780 KNOM, partial ID "..in Nome.." u/KKOH 1300
828 JOBB CC lessons 1338
837 excited CC talk 1406
891 CC talk 1340. 5+1 pips, all the same pitch 1400, mixing with
faint CC talk. Probably all from the same stn but not sure.
1035 CNR1 CC talk 1359, pips at ToH, more talk, all rather weak. 3
carriers visible on SDR display
1089 carrier poking well above 1090 splatter today. Possibly some
audio (talk) 1341, although I can't totally rule out wishful thinking
1170 Partial KBS pips u/KPUG 1300, then another set of pips ending
1300:20 at least two short ones and a higher pitched long one. The
latter was likely from China.
1179 Melodic female talk in KOFI splash 1325, language sounded more
like CC than JJ

1287 weak talk 1318
1323 RR talk 1342
