Listened for a bit longer today, starting before 1230UT, and lasting until after 1300. It didn't seem to be worth getting to the radio earlier, and although there were some reasonably readable, even good, signals, they were mostly there for short periods only. There were a fair number of strongish carriers with little or no audio.
A brief check back at 1326UT yielded weak audio on 963 that seemed DU, and 1566 was still listenable with the lower band noise and splatter at this time. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): HLAZ-1566 at 1240UT, first time at this level this season. 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 1303, but hadn't been heard at all earlier 774 JOUB not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 828 JOBB at various times 972 HLCA presumed, at 1255UT, big carrier 1575 Thailand per direction at 1301UT; this seems undermodulated right now 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) : 189 and 279 R. Rossii seemed in // w/talk 1287 JOHR? later on Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 567, 819, 1053, 1098, 1134, 1242, 1475, 1593 all Asiatic but 819 and 1098 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]
