Listened for about an hour from 1410 today, and wasn't as impressed as John (he seemed to have had the advantage of listening earlier). Lots of stuff rumbling in the undergrowth, but not a lot readable, especially for any length of time (in other words, outside of the big guns, if it was readable, it was brief) Best catch this morning was probably NHK1 on 1188; I still don't have FEBC at home, but think it was there also. Darned if I can get an audio stream out of the FEBC website, so looks like I'll have to ID it the old fashioned way.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 279 R. Rossii at 1432; anemic earlier 576 Mayak at 1432UT 594 JOAK 747 JOIB at 1421UT and a few other times 774 JOUB 828 JOBB 972 HLCA at 1420, though mostly less than this in spite of big carrier 1287 JOHR, very briefly into the winner's circle at 1418 1377 CNR-1 //5030 at 1419, mostly much less signal reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 567 JOIK //594 603 HLSA (from 558 //) and something else; only occasionally at this level 648 presumed VoR 657 N. Korea //2850 1134 KBS //972 briefly 1143 likely Taiwan Fisheries at 1506 man in CC, no 738 // at this time 1575 VoA not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 549 Mayak //576 558 JJ and KK mixing, later 585 JOPG //594 639 CNR-1 //5030 666 JOBK //594 873 JOGB //828 945 CNR-1 //5030 at 1519UT 936 Anhui w/CC talk, later, big carrier 1188 JOKP //594 at 1435 1242 JOLF w/cuckoo clock time pips at 1500UT 1386 NHK2 //774 1422 JORF? w/mx 1575 R. Farda on N. Flag o/VoA at 1431 1593 CNR-1 //5030 (not to mention signals u/774 and 828 before 1430UT) Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : 153 and 189 seemed //279, R. Rosii 612 JOLK //594 but at least one other 621 hum, some CC sounding talk; just before 1500UT, but down on hour 675 later; unreadable talk 711 likely HLKA? 1008 1044 1053 1089 1098 1116 1305 1314 1323 1332 JJ inflected talk 1566 monster carrier, tiddly audio Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1206, 1215, 1251, 1359 best wishes, Nick ***************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
