[IRCA] Today's TP DX - more of the same
This morning seemed about equal to the last few.  Some stations were 
better, some were worse.  Not a big difference overall.
The oddball of the morning was something with 3+1 time pips and what I'm 
sure was Chinese talk on 639 at 1400.  The language was definitely not 
JJ or KK.  If the Chinese was CNR1, they were way out of their normal 
routine, as the pips were not the normal ones, there was no time check 
after the pips, and no big musical fanfare and ID like they usually do.  
What's more strange is I had something similar at 1300 on 1170, 3+1 pips 
which I thought was KBS, but all the talk was Chinese, with none of the 
familiar theme songs that I've come to know and expect from CNR1 and 
KBS.  Did anyone else notice anything unusual on CNR1 this morning?
Here's what my SDR recorded between 1225 and 1510 today.  Due to a setup 
error, I didn't record 920-1110, so I probably missed a few things
Really nice audio at times, good enough for a native speaker to 
understand most of it
594 Japan, sometimes crystal clear, sometimes unintelligible
693 Japan
747 Japan
774 Japan
Fair audio, good enough for a native speaker to follow some of it, even 
if just for brief periods
639   China (presumably), see above
720  CNR2, sometimes stronger than the KIRO splat and computer noise, YL 
talk & time pips 1400
738  Taiwan briefly dominant at 1325, KBS briefly dominant at 1350, a 
mishmosh of mostly weak audio between those times
828   Japan, not nearly as good as 693/747/774
1170 China, see above
1206  Yanbian
Marginal, could recognize bits of programming, but a native speaker 
wouldn't have understood it
549   Russia, chimes and pips at 1400
558   KBS//603
585   Japan //594
603 KBS//558
612  presumed Japan
621   Unid, like usual there was too much KCIS splatter to even figure 
out the language
657   presume NK
702   Japan
729   Japan w/talk & pips 1400
756   unid
855   N Korea
891  unid
909 unid
1134 KBS
1278 unid
1287 probably Japan
1422   Japan
1566   HLAZ
Carriers sometimes with real or imaginary traces of audio
666 675 783 792 819 837 846 864 918 1116 1179 1188 1215 1242 1269
