Now, that was a bit more like it. Double peak, one at around 1345UT
fading down gently to nothing much from 1400 to well past 1500UT
(unlike Walt's report, little sign of JOUK-1503 around 1500UT, but it
acquitted itself well at other times), with another peak around
1545UT. Almost all the action the entire 1300-1600UT period was above 1250kHz.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker,
at least briefly):
1503 JOUK woman in JJ 1549UT, but had been in somewhat less well at
many other times, fairly consistent signal this morning on many
occasions. Heard //594 a couple of times, but 594 was a pale shadow
in comparison
1566 HLAZ Big JJ s/off 1343-1344UT, then a reprise with woman in CC
1349UT; a very anemic sunrise peak in comparison, man in CC barely
readable 1545UT
Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):
1287 JOHR man in JJ 1543UT, but similar strength w/woman in JJ 1259UT
followed by single pip on hour, then man talking
1386 JOQC? This one was also in during both peaks, though strongest
signal during s/off at 1540-5UT. Still fading up during the call,
but that one seemed pretty much "JOQC", which is in NE Honshu with
nothing much but salt water until Vancouver Island. Another one to
listen to a bit more.
1593 CNR1 woman in CC 1347UT, mixing w/NHK2
1593 JOQB? NHK2 s/off anthem then chimes w/CNR1 way under //6175,
1540UT, best by far on N. Flag despite splash from 1600. Almost
certain that the ID before the anthem was "JOQB NHK Niigata", but it
was still fading up at that time. I might play more with this, as
I don't think I've heard a call ID at home.
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or
noise could be understood by a native speaker:
1602 NHK2 synchros. S/off chimes 1542UT
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) :
594 JOAK woman in JJ //1503 1549UT
774 JOUB man mumbling 1350UT seemed //1386?
1557 Taiwan? female pop mx 1547UT, best on North Flag
1575 VoA? man talking, west Flag
Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or
ravaged by splatter):
567 603 1269 1314 1332 1377 1422
best wishes,
Nick
