Re: [IRCA] TP 23 Jan; Victoria version
TP signals were basically nil on the southern Great Plains this morning.
The ROK jammer on 1053 kHz was heard again briefly before fading
away. The HLCA 972 carrier was weak after sunrise, but that was it.
Neither was as good as the past two mornings. Hopefully reception will be
better tomorrow morning.

Hi Nick,
The TP reception here this morning was similar to your description, although there was more of a sunrise lift here.
As you noticed, the band was mediocre at 1410 with only a few of the big guns around. Around 1500 things were still pretty subdued overall, but 972-HLCA was
coming in with a very potent signal by the TOH. By 1530 there were lots of TP's all over the band, including moderate audio on 558 (Korean), 603 (Chinese), 648
(VOR), 657 (Pyongyang), 936 (Chinese) and 1035 (Chinese), in addition to all the usual big guns. These weaker stations gradually faded out around 1550,
leaving 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA as the sole survivors here at the 1600 TOH. Overall, it was a fairly decent morning.

carrier on 828 and sometimes 747, but no audio heard. >>>
The strong carriers on 747 and 828 around 1530 were noted here also, but with unusually good audio from the second-tier TP's coming in at that time, these
Japanese big guns didn't receive much attention. Because of a strong carrier around 1533 I did check 747-JOIB's signal for audio, but only came away with 750-
Portland splatter.

Ouch. I noticed that the DX Fishbarrel was showing a good bit of
color at about 1315UT, but just crawling out of bed meant that I
didn't quite leap off to the radio. Probably should have, as once
again, conditions did a slide. Even by 1410UT, all that was left was
a few of the big guns. However, there was a small sunrise lift
around 1540UT, so there was something to show.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
briefly):
1566 HLAZ two men in CC 1546UT
reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):
594 JOAK light instrumental mx 1541UT; also earlier in JJ talk 1412UT
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or
noise could be
understood by a native speaker:
747 JOIB JJ talk //828 1413UT
972 HLCA woman in KK 1550UT
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) :
603 ? choral singing 1555UT
756 CNR1 man talking very poor, and was only able to tell it was
//6125 as both channels changed to a woman talking at the same time
936 Anhui? light mx 1535UT
954 JOKR? man and woman talking 1552UT
1467 unID man talking at mumble level, then a few beats of mx and
woman talking. (has anyone got a KBS webstream they can suggest?)
1593 CNR1 last pip at 1600, then musical interlude //6125
Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):
945 1008
best wishes,
Nick
