UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, July 23 at 1122-1130: I haven`t done this since March 13 once DST was in effect, as I dearly want to sleep past sunrise, staying awake usually until 0630 or so UT. But I happen to awaken today at 1120 so I risk making a check. There might well have been many more instances even in deep spring/summer had I searched. Sometimes I use the DX-398 with internal ferrite, which allows DFing whether signals be from Asia to the NW or Pacific WSW, but this time it`s the R75 for greater gain but E-W longwire, so no DFing. Usually both preamps are off to minimize overloading, but this time I need at least #1 to get enough signals to detect, by 9-kHz step tuning USB at 1 kHz below the channels to hear tell-tale 1 kHz hets. LSR today is 1132 UT, and if any on the low end, have already outfaded. The rest are just this side of imagination-level, and are typical from Pacific rather than Asia, altho some could be either:
738, 774, 828, 837, 855, 882, 936(2 beating), 1017, 1098, 1152, 1161, 1314, 1566? 936 pair are intriguing: no higher powers than two 10 kW eastern Aussies, and a 1 kW NZer. East Asia has 200 kW from China, 50 from Thailand.
I don`t get back to sleep by 1200, but keep trying and maybe get a few winx past 1300. It shall be another 5 weeks before our SR laten to 1200 when some NHK timepips might audiblize like in March, but that will still be 7 am CDT while I want to keep sleeping (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
