Considering I was using rather compromised antennas (two supports broken in a squall yesterday afternoon, and not repaired--it was dark, and the weather was filthy), this morning wasn't bad. Things started to hum after 1530UT, and continued until well after 1600UT. Unfortunately, the intermittent local noise has also started to hum again, after a day off.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK 1534UT 828 JOBB 1536UT 972 HLCA 1526 and 1543UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): 603 soft music typical of HLSA 1536UT, no parallel 639 CNR1 //945 1540UT and //6175 at 1610UT 774 JOUB 1521UT 945 CNR1 //639 1615UT 1566 HLAZ Russian talk by man, various peaks between 1633 and 1654UT; had faded down somewhat at 1700UT for "welcome to the Voice of America in Korean", and faded up more weakly several times after 1700UT also. not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 738 unID rock music 1533UT, faded down as woman started talking, didn't sound Chinese, more Korean or Japanese? 747 JOIB 1522UT 936 woman in Chinese, likely Anhui? 1541UT 1575 VoA likely, woman in SE Asian language 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) 567 JOIK //594 1601UT 657 man talking, seemed Korean? followed by orchestral music 1548UT 666 JOBK //594 1551UT 693 JOAB 1529UT 702 NHK2 //774 1526UT 702 operatic singing 1605UT, seemed parallel to 2850 (which was pretty rough also); likely N. Korea 711 HLKA pop music seemed //738 on Korean KiwiSDR 1539UT 837 man talking, Chinese intonation 1554UT 846 man talking, Chinese intonation 1545UT 954 man talking, Japanese? 1603UT 1089 CNR6 orchestral music //6165 1552UT 1098 CNR1 //945 1557UT 1242 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1520UT 1287 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1549UT 1575 Iran jammer 1547UT ; also noted 1603UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 585 612 621 819 855 864 873 918 999 1053 1134 1215 1251 1269 1305 seemed to be Asian; nothing much seemed to be DU best wishes, Nick Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ 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]
