Asian DX up a storm, 4/7
« on: April 07, 2013, 1344 UTC »
The incredible Asian DX conditions of the past day or so continue!  Here are some logs from today.  More likely to come, if conditions stay this way all local morning. 

9595, Radio Nikkei 1, 1100-1116.  Japanese-language talk between two women - conversation, laughter.  Brief piano music near the hour, and again near 1115.  Signal fair, some static, SINPO 33333. 

9440, China Radio International, 1204-1211.  Khmer Talk from a male presenter, presumably a newsreader, from tune-in to tune-out.  Signal fair, SINPO 33333. 

9490, Voice of America, 1204-1210.  Korean talk, presumably news, from a male presenter.  Into what sounded like a program promo including music, multiple Korean speakers and an English snippet at around 1210, then back to talk.  Signal weaker to fair, subject to fading.  SINPO 23232. 

This doesn't include the signals I haven't properly logged yet.  I had CRI in Russian on 11935, many, many instances of that dang CNR1 jammer, and Voice of Korea on 11710 and 9650.  Crazy, and by that I mean amazing.

V of Korea on 11710 was doing well this morning around 1330Z.

Found a bunch of Firedrakes and the CNR 1 jammer (7 of the former, 13 of the latter).

And that was just with an ATS-909X with a PA0RDT Mini-Whip.

Found a lot of stations and looked most of them up, but didn't write anything down.

One day, I wish the dang CNR1 and Firedrake jammers would have a power outage.  No harm to humans, of course, just a power cut that oops! conveniently gets them all off the air for a day or so.  I wonder what the folks at the legitimate CNR studios think of being used as a jamming tool, or if they even know it's being done. 

I'm going to try for Pakistan in a minute.  Let's see what else is coming in now.
