Even more great conditions to the far east!
Thanks to the guys at Real DX for listening to my recordings I have
bagged a few goodies this afternoon. For a while now I have been
wondering what the little top of the hour jingle ID is I sometimes hear
on 891. When I heard the same jingle today on 1017 and 1296 I had to do
some further investigation. After posting my recording of the jingle,
Mika and Mauno replied to confirm the jingle belonged to the BCC in
Taiwan.
So I found a web stream of the BCC News Network and recorded their top
of the hour. This was what I heard:
https://app.box.com/s/audoygm2f8rdqy2lzk8z Note that cute little jingle.
It penetrates the noise well in the same way a weak CW signal would.
Now get your headphones on (you may need them) and listen to my
recordings of the same jingle on 891, 1017 and 1296 respectively:
https://app.box.com/s/2nsg32mkbluy8qk4yhsc Tricky, but clearly(ish ;O) the
same jingle. Luckily, there is only one BCC Network station on each of
the three frequencies. 819 and 1296 are the same site too.
Going back to the power interruptions which affected my 1700 file from
the 25th, I discovered that Rapidshare still accept large file size
uploads, which is a good job as this one is over a GB in size! This is
the link - http://rapidshare.com/share/12BCF0A09A9E01C795EF45EA2676AEEB
if anybody wants to listen to the file.
Finally, does anybody know where the TWR site is on 1287? I don't see this listed.
Good DX!

More good conditions to the far east.
Very annoyingly, we suffered a power failure (we have several a week here out in the sticks) a few seconds after 1700 which damaged the SDR file. The file is still completely playable though (phew!) with the top of the hour section intact, but Wavchopper is unable to chop down the file because of the damage. So the remaining file is almost 600MB in size and I would love to upload this to a file storage site but I cannot find one which will allow such large files. If anybody knows of one please let me know asap as I would really like to archive this file.
The following might be worth further investigation:

Finally, these two are very weak. It has been suggested that 720 could be North Korea and 729 Vietnam. I can just imagine I am hearing the North Korean national anthem on 720. They are too weak for comfort however.

Some rough notes on other Asiatic DX. "Long pip" refers to those time signals used in the far east which could refer to South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, etc. and I include these just to show the amount of Asiatic DX which was coming in yesterday. Any audio was just that bit too weak for identification. I have cross-referenced them with the audio heard on Asiatic SDR files from Finland just to confirm I am on the right track with these.

My First Japanese Reception!
Fukuoka City, Japan
Japan has always been a difficult country to receive in the UK, however, I 'dared' to assume that I would probably receive it one day because my east coast location gives me an extra lift in towards the far east.
Despite living on the east coast for three years however I was beginning to think it was never going to happen. Chinese signals come through in abundance at home on my northerly flag and especially on the BOG (Beverage On the Ground) I occasionally lay out in the marshlands of The Wash, just a few miles down the coast. Nothing! Just a few vague time signals which could have easily been Korean or Taiwanese.
This changed today when JOIF Fukuoka came in on 1413 kHz, but had it not been for the eagle-eared Paul Logan in Northern Ireland, I would never have known what I had missed. I had posted a link to my Perseus SDR file for 1700 to the SkywavesDX group. Paul missed two stations I had overlooked. One of which was JOIF. Click on the link below to hear how it sounded:
To think, I completely overlooked this. I was actually trying to hear what was happening underneath this signal, assuming it was just a European station. I have a rough idea of what Japanese sounds like too.
After posting a recording if this to the Real DX group I received a confirmation from member Hirpyuki Okamura that the language was Japanese. "O-Dori - No All Night Niiphon" was spoken which is a networked programme from 1242 JOLF. Although no local ID was heard there's nothing else this could be. JOIF is the only station from Japan on 1413.

for the translation 9225 km **
** Personal Skegness 'First'
My best afternoon of Asiatic DX ever - and this includes my BOG trips just down the coast.
Japan is a new country here and one I have never heard domestically, other than on short wave. I think there were other Japanese and Korean signals in too but the vocals were never clear enough to be certain.
HLAZ 1566 was good at times. Long time no hear for this one and it's the first time I have heard it at home in Skegness.
Good DX!

610 0300 CUB Radio Rebelde, three sites listed. Cuckoo ID behind US Fox Sports station **
** Personal Skegness 'First'
Conditions remain very poor to North America, but a new Cuban struggled its way though on 610. Three sites are listed: Bueycito with 10kW, Cienfuegos with 10kW and Guane with 1kW. This was competing with a presumed WIOD with its Fox Sports News programming.
Good DX!
