grey line dx'ing, 5/31/16
« on: May 31, 2016, 1158 UTC »
Fairly noisy conditions today. I noticed that I didn't hear many of the CNR stations that are usually faintly audible. They were mostly still there but too faint to know what the signal was, if you didn't already. I'm taking that as my gauge of propagation conditions.

1052z, 6055, Radio Nikkei 1 - music (Japanese traditional), followed by OM, followed by swing jazz song with OM singing (presumably Japanese lyrics). Followed by probable love song, power ballad style. Quite the mix in a five minute span. S9 +20, SIO 343, some fading.

1108z, 6180, Radio Taiwan International. OM (very deep bass voice) and YL, interview or discussion format. High noise floor but S9 signal, SIO 333.

1112z, 6250, North Korean jamming. S3 noise floor but signal S9 +10. No trace of Echo of Hope.

1115z. 6195, BBC (Kranji relay), SIO 312. Very noisy. S7 but noise made OM and YL unintelligible despite respectable signal strength.

1123z, 7325, China Radio International, Japanese broadcast, usual good signal, S9 + 20, SIO 433. YL and two OM chatting.

1129z 7410, China Radio International, interval then start of Filipino broadcast at 1130. Faint, echoey. SIO 222.

1135z, 5875, Radio Thailand, Laotian broadcast. OM, news reading format. S9 at noise floor, but distinctly audible and would be easy to understand for Laotian speakers. 222. It's sunset there and sunrise here right now.

1141z, 9430, FEBC Radio, music followed by YL and OM, news reading/chat format. Faint and fading but light noise and interference, pretty clear, SIO 132.

1146z, 9535, unknown Spanish station, nothing on short wave schedule for this frequency at this time. Very very faint but did hear the word "Cubano" so possible Radio Habana Cuba which sometimes transmits on this frequency. Different OM speaking. Telephone ringing effect at 1146. SIO 111.
