This transmitter seems to have a "brighter" sound compared with other NHK1 transmitters; I don't think it's just that it's generally stronger. 747 JOIB man in Portuguese 1402UT 774 JOUB man in Portuguese 1401UT 828 JOBB interlude music at end of Portuguese program 1415UT //747 972 HLCA two men in Korean 1354UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 576 2RN man in DU English 1353UT 603 HLSA female ballad //558 1411UT 612 4QR woman DU Englishg 1420UT 693 JOAB man and woman in Japanese //747 1416UT 702 2BL phone in program with female host, 1351UT //612 which was very weak at this time 873 JOGB woman in Japanese 1415UT //774 not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 567 RNZ National woman talking //675 1408UT 657 Star; ballad //909 1355UT 675 RNZ National jazz vibes solo //567 1350UT 1287 JOHR woman in Japanese 1419UT 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) 558 HLQH female ballad //603 1411UT 567 JOIK party time in NHK studios //594 1351UT 702 NHK2 woman talking //693 1408UT 738 2NR woman talking //612 1358UT; someone else there also... 819 operatic chorus 1410UT, N.
