[IRCA] Alberta TP/DU for 5 Sep 2010

[Nigel Pimblett <ntjp@xxxxxxx>]

I'd echo what Steve wrote, in that the high band DU stations were better 
here today also, and indeed 1548 was the strongest signal here too.  
Some interesting stuff on the X-band this morning.  My low band was 
worse than Steve's though, as nothing on audio here below 1100 khz, not 
even 891.  The action was all DU, other than the anomoly on 1475.   This 
morning's audio, heard between 1240 and 1305:

1116 - 4BC, weak talk
1413 - unID, brief moments of audio @1250
1475 - traces of woman talking.  Noticed this while I was trying to get 
audio on 1476 (unsuccessfully), and I don't know what it could be other 
than Malaysia.  Actually on about 1475.01
1512 - 2RN - mandolin music on a Radio National program
1548 - 4QD, man interviewing a woman at 1253.
1566 - 3NE (presumed),  traces of talk and music
1593 - unID.   Weak audio for a couple of minutes.  Not in English, but 
definitely not the common CNR from China either. 
1611 - unID, traces of pop music at 1253.
1629 - unID Australian.  In English, with country music.  Signal would 
have been perfectly readable at times, if not for IBOC noise, presumably 
from a U.S. station on 1640.   Signal actually on about 1628.97
1638 - unID Weak, but seemed to include Arabic style recitations, so 
perhaps one of the Radio Lebanon outlets.  Time pips at the hour were 
about 45 seconds early.
1701 - A mess here, with 3 signals of comparable strength, on slightly 
differerent frequencies.  Audio on at least two.  Brisvaani seemed to be 
one, but also heard traces of what sounded like Arabic.

73,
