Hi Nick, <<< I'm wondering if this was very local, as Bruce and Gary often hear east Asians better than I do pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ. This had brief bursts of recognizable CC talk at 1418 and 1420UT, but it started a bit a of a jag at 1531UT, with more recognizable talk, erratic fading to be sure, but kept building to this strength at 1538-9UT with lively choral mx, then gradually fading down to about 1545UT. A big surprise. >>> Well, it sounds like a Victoria exclusive, Nick. I can't speak for Bruce, but 1566 didn't even manage a carrier here during sunrise enhancement around 1540. It was down for the count throughout the session. 1575 managed a moderate carrier from 1430-1530, but that was it for Asian signals here this morning. After yesterday's session, though, who is complaining? 73, Gary .

Um, not quite actually, I'm wondering if this was very local, as Bruce and Gary often hear east Asians better than I do pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ. This had brief bursts of recognizable CC talk at 1418 and 1420UT, but it started a bit a of a jag at 1531UT, with more recognizable talk, erratic fading to be sure, but kept building to this strength at 1538-9UT with lively choral mx, then gradually fading down to about 1545UT. A big surprise. Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): the above passing through not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: the above passing through 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) 1503 JOUK assumed. NHK pips at 1400UT, then man in JJ inflected talk. Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 1116 1557 1593 best wishes, Nick _______________________________________________ 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] _______________________________________________ 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]
