While waiting for small goblins to turn up, let's turn in a DX report . An odd morning, with deterioration in signal levels overall from other mornings, yet a number of Chinese continued to appear. In addition, just around 1500UT (local sunrise), the upper band opened up with various channels delivering a "snarl" (TM Gary DeBock) of weak signals. Mostly no hope of identifying anything
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK 1447UT 747 JOIB 1415UT 828 JOBB 1417UT, but many times, hardly audible at all 837 China (Harbin? CNR5?) Chinese male vocal 1432UT. Seems odd programming for a news station, and couldn't match it to CNR5 web stream 972 HLCA 1421UT 1566 HLAZ assumed, woman singing followed by Chinese talk by woman 1505UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 603 HLSA 1430UT 621 woman in Chinese 1445UT 945 CNR1 1417UT 963 CRI //1323 woman in Russian 1426UT 1116 woman in Chinese 1447UT 1593 CNR1 //945 1457UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 657 N. Korea man in Korean 1424UT, brief appearance 693 JOAB //747 1423UT 711 HLKA man in Korean 1420UT;presumed per later //864 at 1437UT 819 N. Korea? choral music with piano 1418UT 873 N.
