Listened from 1405 to 1440UT this morning. A lot of stuff near readability, and sometimes two or more signals per channel. The Japanese were reasonable including second tier stuff like 954 and 1287, but generally there was a strong Chinese presence, though mostly readable for a few seconds at a time. Walt was smart and listened past 1500UT; the Japanese big guns were mostly carriers by then, so I didn't listen much further. Has NHK2 changed its s/off times? I've heard about 1600UT s/offs, and expected to hear the music box at 1500 this morning, but the little audio then seemed like talk.
According to the propagation monitor, 1566 had a final peak about 1538UT, late for this time of year Asian unless noted. Darn good audio, if briefly: nothing this time Reasonable audio (though often battling w/splash) 594, 774, 828, 1575 Not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 747, 873 (JJ & KK plus hum), 918 CC, 945 (2 stations CNR1 //5030 and ?), 963, 972 (huge carrier) Burbles in the splatter: 558, 567, 621, 702 (off channel slightly), 738, 756, 792 DU, 864, 936, 954, 981 (//5030?), 1008, 1017, 1044, 1053 mx, 1134, 1161, 1242, 1287, 1323 (briefly strong enough for //963), 1566 strong carrier, no audio: 639, 819, 855 hum, 1206 hum, 1377 best wishes, Nick **************************************************************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, B.C.
