[IRCA] TP's & DU's for Saturday, August 18, 2012

[Dennis Vroom <vroomski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Medium wave reception favored lower channels this morning with DU's stations heard as the TP's faded.  Was able to match the live ABC stream to 2CO on 675 with folk music.  Weak signal at best, but two folk songs one by a woman and followed with another folk song by a man helped match the signal to the live stream.  3LO heard under JOUB 774 on the SW ewe at 1153 utc. Not heard latter when other DU's were in. Audio heard 1329 utc on 1701 with woman singing accompanied by piano music, sound like religious music? "Voice of Charity'?  
 
153      RUSSIA, Radio Rossii, 1140-1146 fair
signal with woman in Russian. Good signal at 1218 with Instrumental music.

180 RUSSIA, Radio Rossii, 1220 weak signal on second scan on long-wave band.  Instrumental music.

675      AUSTRALIA, 2CO ABC very weak to weak audio at 1304 with woman in English.  Folk music matched ABC live stream. Another                         folk song with man singing at 1308. 1310 back to woman announcer.  SW ewe.

828 JAPAN, JOBB NHK2 1247 weak signal with man in Japanese.

891      AUSTRALIA, 1300 very weak signal with woman speaking. Assuming 5AN as 4TAB would have man with horse racing information.

Slight splatter from XEPE as their have faded down. 1331                    switched from SW ewe to Sky wire loop and signal improved to fair at times. Still music with woman singing in                    unknown language. 1336 music ended and woman speaker in unknown language. 1337 more music with woman                              singing. 1638 signal poor. Music sounded like it could be religious.  Maybe "Voice of Charity"? Most mornings                    a level 5 het heard on channel, but XEPE 1700 just to strong.  At 1341 XEPE back with splatter as DU signal                      has faded out.
