Couple of sessions at the dials this morning, once at 1400, and then again at 1550UT. Overall signal levels were definitely better in the earlier period, but of course there was more splatter; most loggings were earlier unless otherwise noted. Signal levels were erratic as usual. Another brief listen at 1615UT yielded JOAK-594 and VoA-1575 at fair levels, but not much else.
For the second morning, I've noted NHK2 signing off at 1550UT; whether that's a temporary change, who knows? pretty darn good audio, at least briefly (all of it understandable by a native speaker) 594 JOAK at 1407 and 1550UT 774 JOUB earlier 828 JOBB earlier reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 747 JOIB at 1550UT s/off 1575 likely VoA not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 657 N. Korea, rough-edged audio; talk //3320 at 1410UT 666 JOBK //594 at 1415 and 1553UT 873 JOGB mx box at 1552UT 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) : 567 likely JOIK, seemed //594 639 CNR-1 //5030 648 Russia? 936 at 1554; Anhui? 972 big carrier, likely HLCA 1008 JJ inflected talk??? 1134 ? 1206 hum and talk 1408UT; likely Yanbian 1377 CNR-1 //5030 Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1566 best wishes, Nick ***************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] 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: [email protected]
