Re: [IRCA] TP's at 1600 utc hour

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Nick (and Dennis),

<<<   Here the kingpins were CRI-1323 and 
HLCA-972.  The former was "best" just before 1545UT, with pop ballad 
and RR sounding talk by man and woman (i.e. not very strong),   >>>

1323-CRI also made it here with good signals at times from 1315-1345, Nick, managing its best audio ever (which never is very strong). The band here folded up around 1500, but like yesterday, there was a large collection of anemic Chinese stations that put in some kind of weak signal between 1400 and 1500 (on 639, 918, 927, 936, 963, 981, 1017, 1035, 1044, 1323 and 1593).. Like Bruce mentioned, 657-Pyongyang was especially strong, and 648-VOR was also well above average for most of the session.

73, Gary

Interesting stuff Dennis.   Here the kingpins were CRI-1323 and 
HLCA-972.  The former was "best" just before 1545UT, with pop ballad 
and RR sounding talk by man and woman (i.e. not very strong), the 
latter didn't finally dive until after 1615UT; at 1608UT it was 
recognizably KK talk by man, best on westerly Flag (FLG100) as that 
allowed me to null interference from 980, but it was audible even on 
the ALA100 square copper pipe loop, 54 inches on a side, which 
theoretically shouldn't be good for much overseas.

For Gary's interest, I also tried hearing it on my tuned box loop, 
that occasionally hears TAs, but its indoor location meant too much 
computer hash I'm afraid, though the carrier was there, but only 
weekly....I'll need to take it outside, but on a weekday morning I'll 
need to be a work at this time, hi, so maybe next weekend.


best wishes,

Nick
