Better conditions this evening than past couple nights plus much lower
static. Several checks for LWBC had the best around 05 utc: 171
poor/weak (sync AM); 183 poor (sync AM); 189 traces; 198 poor; 216 very
poor/poor; 252 medium (sync AM). 1089 was closest to audio among several
with decent hets this evening.

ÂÂÂÂÂ After yesterday's step up it was back down this morning.ÂÂÂÂ In
fact no Asian audio at all made it to the southern Alberta prairie, with
a couple of DUs making up today's short list:

774ÂÂÂ ÂÂ 3LOÂÂÂ Melbourne, AUSTRALIAÂÂÂ ABC news fanfare at 1500.

1116ÂÂÂ 4BCÂÂÂ Brisbane, AUSTRALIAÂÂÂÂ News by woman at 1502


Like yesterday evening, also had one TA with audio tonight.ÂÂ The UK
stations generally had the strongest carriers during the evening, but
the only station reaching audio was Egypt on 864, at around 0340.

Still no sign of any Chinese today, but some unexpected Japanese parallels; not much of a sunrise enhancement however.


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

774 JOUB 1532UT

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

594 JOAK 1540UT

747 JOIB 1528UT

828 JOBB 1529UT

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

567 JOIK // 594 1523UT

972 HLCA 1522UT

1287 JOHR two men in Japanese 1537UT


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)

612 man talking, DU English intonation 1526UT

693 JOAB //774 1501UT

702 NHK2 //774 1536UT

873 JOGB vast women's choir made me think of N. Korea, but no, //828 1538UT

891 JOHK //567 1502UT

954 man talking, Japanese intonation 1552UT

1278 JOFR man talking //1287 1526UT. Not sure what program would be parallel on these two channels plus 1332 as well.

1332 JOSF rough copy, but man talking //1287 with slight echo 1544UT

1422 man and woman , Japanese intonation 1512UT

1566 man and woman talking, Chinese intonation 1605UT; fading up and down until after 1630UT


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
864 909 945 1053 1134 1242 1269 1593 seemed to be Asian;
nothing else seemed to be DU


best wishes,

I'm reviewing Perseus recordings from Cappahayden Newfound in November
2018, using our "north" wire. Tonight I ran across an interesting
situation on NOV 13, 1829:50 - 1830:00 UTC.

1. A haunting female vocal is weak under BBC on 909. I manage to parallel
this same music with 1404 and 1593. Much stronger on 1404, poor on 1593.
Must be Radio Cluj, which is scheduled at that time on transmitters in Cluj
909 200kw, Sighetul 1404 and 2 synchros on 1593. I previously heard an ID
for "Radio Cluj" 1404 at 1800z. And it is pronounced "clooge".

2. Meanwhile, underneath the music on Radio Cluj 909 there is a barely
discernible "Radio Romania Actualtati", but it's not a voice-over, it's a
different station and I find multiple parallels to this on 945, 1152, 1179,
1404, 1422 and 1530, none of which have the haunting female vocal, except
1404 which is also 2 Romanian signals. The 909 RRA station in Timisoara is
50 kW.

So, yes, the two separate signals on 909 are also on 1440 at the same
time. An interesting "pile-up" of co-channel Romanians.

Those are good catches.

I'm trying to keep an eye on the Romanians too. So far, no success to hear Radio Timoisoara 630 or RRA 531. Anybody heard them?
