Hello All,
What started out as a clunker session around 1315 finally broke into a strange
pattern of moderate strength Japanese and Korean big guns, along with a couple
of minor surprises. In general, it turned out to be another low-average session
for Asians, with TP results very similar to those reported by Dennis.
Around 1345 the NHK big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 began to break
through the noise, along with the Koreans on 972, 1053, 1134 and 1566. None of
these sounded especially energetic early on, although 594-JOAK did manage good
audio around 1402. 693-JOAB was fairly good in CBU splatter with NHK2 language
lessons at 1410, and 1134-KBS had its good moments with Korean talk (through
CKWX splatter) around 1405. As reported by Dennis, 603-HLSA was around at a
weak level this morning, reaching fair peaks here with its long music sets
around 1355. One minor surprise on this fairly mediocre morning was a signal
from 531-JOQG, reaching fair peaks through the 530 TIS din around 1358.
738-BEL2 in Taiwan also made it out of the noise briefly around 1407, but never
stuck around for long. Finally, 657-Pyongyang managed threshold audio
(undermodulated music) at 1352, but that was about it for a pretty lackluster
session.
Pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker,
at least briefly):

Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling
w/splash or noise):

1053 Korean Jammer Good buzz at 1354
1134 KBS Korean male-female conversation at 1348
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or
noise could be understood by a native speaker:
531 JOQG Japanese speech at 1358
657 Pyongyang Undermodulated music at 1352
738 BEL2 Female CC speech out of noise at 1407
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) :

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or
ravaged by splatter):
