Colin, 
 
Thanks for your detailed TP-DX report, which I know (from experience) requiresÂsignificant time and effort to prepare. 
 
<<<ÂÂ 1314 675 Khz - UNid DU - heavily inflected English accent - not sure who is 
the most regular here - New Zealand? this frequency was only really hot for 
minutes at a time here and there.ÂÂ >>> 
675-RNZ (Christchurch, New Zealand) predominates here on the Oregon cliffs, Colin. A clip of it running strong at Rockwork 4 in August is posted at https://app.box.com/s/6eb9sqxyqd51d7of7rq6f4k5fbx56ckj  
 
<<<ÂÂ 1337 792 Khz - UNID - popped by briefly into some classical music.ÂÂ >>> 
Considering your Australian propagation this morning, Colin, this was almost certainly 4RN in Brisbane (// 576-2RN) 
 
<<<ÂÂ 1341 1503 Khz - UNID at fair to good levels with Asian pop music - again, 
did not hang around this end of the buffet that much.ÂÂ >>> 
Almost certainly the NHK1 station JOUK, // 594 with its Japanese rock music at 1341 (an MP3 sample received hereÂat https://app.box.com/s/gfx17vpruxxh5d4idi0g98lay5sd04it  
 
<<<ÂÂ 1347 531 Khz - UNID - bouncy pop music - there was good carrier here all 
session but general a jumbled mix of 3 or 4 different things. An SDR to 
analyze all the exact frequencies would be handyÂÂ >>> 
ConsideringÂyour Japanese reception the "bouncy pop music" was likely from the NHK1 station JOQG, // 594 (as sampled in the MP3 above) 
 
<<<ÂÂ 1348 585 Khz - UNID - bouncy pop music (It's catchy) but did not hang 
around - most of the morning there was a least good carrier and hints of 
audioÂÂÂ>>> 
Once again, most likely the same music as on the NHK1 parallel 594-JOAK 
 
Overall, a great report, Colin-- thanks for posting it!

Session time from 1300 until 1410 or so. 

A lively turn out with lots of 1st and 2nd tier Japanese stations - almost 
all NHK. 
A couple of red seal performances from ABC Australia, some audio on new 
channels (for me) 
and a couple of mysteries. 

As always: Receiver Drake R8 - Antenna N/NW Flag with variable VACTROL 
(homebrew) termination. 

1310 594 Khz - Japan - S9 and in the clear - and arguably the most 
consistently audible Japanese station thorought every successful session. 

1314 675 Khz - UNid DU - heavily inflected English accent - not sure who is 
the most regular here - New Zealand? this frequency was only really hot for 
minutes at 
a time here and there. 

1319 891 Khz - JOHK - JJ OM amidst 2 or 3 other signals in the background 
(that would take turns running the show through the morning) This was the 
single most 
interesting channel because something Thai/Khmer/Viet sounding would take 
over for a while with lively pop music and then later in the session it was 
all ABC. Quite the treat. 

1323 540 Khz - UNID - a rumble of different things happening here with CBC 
Ucluelet on the very bottom - some Asian sounding conversations at some 
point 
but nothing definitive. 

1335 1116 Khz - 4BC - Brisbane - little doubt the endless YL and EE DU back 
and forth - also one of the most steady signals all morning. 

1337 792 Khz - UNID - popped by briefly into some classical music. 

1341 1503 Khz - UNID at fair to good levels with Asian pop music - again, 
did not hang around this end of the buffet that much. 

1342 1422 Khz - UNID - big carrier and solemn music (I think a new 
frequency for me...) 

1343 1386 Khz - NHK Tier Two Syncro's JJ YL/OM language lessons by the 
sounds of it. 

1345 1242 Khz - NHK - assume with the JJ Patter - as well as 1287 which was 
mighty fine this AM as well. 

1347 531 Khz - UNID - bouncy pop music - there was good carrier here all 
session but general a jumbled mix of 3 or 4 different things. An SDR to 
analyze 
all the exact frequencies would be handy. 

1348 585 Khz - UNID - bouncy pop music (It's catchy) but did not hang 
around - most of the morning there was a least good carrier and hints of 
audio 
and snippets of audio on 531, 540, 558, 567, 576, 585, 594, 603 and 612 
making it the most interesting section of this mornings buffet. 

1349 612 Khz - 4QR - Brisbane AUS - // to the live stream - 
https://youtu.be/JbBpIrre7Bo pretty typical - would rise to occasional 
exceptional heights making 
it quite listenable. 

1352 837 Khz - JOQK (t) - Japan - OM JJ chatter / guess this is kind of 
Tier 2 / Tier 3 Japan - not sure where the delineation is. 

1404 891 Khz - 4TAB(t) - Australia - https://youtu.be/rfggB-Dfsg4 Highlight 
of the morning - 5 kw from Townsville? Under these conditions: Very 
possible. 
ÂÂ at 1410 this sounded very // to the ABC Live stream 

Overall - a good morning - and I see that a few benefited from the good 
conditions!
