This was almost a lackluster morning for TPs, with only the regulars
present for most of the morning.
Just when hope was almost lost, there was an interesting
mini-enhancement for a few minutes at the upper end of the dial. It was
good enough to produce weak audio from a few low powered Japanese. It
also raised the signals on 1422 and 1503 to about the same strength as
1566. Best of all, I had JOWF-1440 mixing with domestics for several
minutes.
Here's what was heard during the enhancement, which lasts from about
1350 to 1405 UTC. I'll skip the rest of the stuff, which wasn't all
that interesting today.
1287 JAPAN, JOHK 1357 fair w/Japanese talk, single tone at ToH, then
more talk
1323 CHINA, CRI 1400 the usual trumpet fanfare & ID weak
1386 JAPAN, NHK2, 1359 Japanese male talk fair //774, ran across ToH
with no pips
1422 JAPAN, JORF 1401 Japanese man & woman quite good
1440 JAPAN, JOWF, 1353 animated fast-talking Japanese woman mixing
with domestics, sometimes dominating, for several minutes. Single tone
at ToH
1458 UNID, 1359 bits of music poor
1467 JAPAN, NHK2(somewhat tentative), 1402 male talk, I'm about 90%
sure it was //747
1494 UNID, 1402 weak audio sounded like 2 stations, one with talk and
the other with music
1503 JAPAN, JOUK, 1356 lively fast-talking conversation in Japanese,
1400 3+1 pips, then sedate man w/what sounded like news, good, about as
strong as 1566
1557 TAIWAN, 1354 man & woman in Chinese, 1358 piano music, 1400 3+1
pips & possible ID, then more Chinese talk, mostly fair

announcements in Chinese good
1575 JAPAN, AFN, 1359 pop music, 1359:50 brief anmt by man, then news
in American English by woman. Weak and no definite ID but format fits AFN
1593 CHINA, CNR1, 1401 tail end of ID and Chinese talk, fair briefly
rising above 1590 splash
