Already, the year has started downhill, hi. No, not that bad, just not as lively as yesterday. NHK2 off again at 1440UT today, so noted them, as carrier strength was at least as good later.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK 1559UT 774 JOUB 1440UT s/off 945 CNR1 man in Chinese 1614UT; parallels noted earlier, as was another station with piano music Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): 747 JOIB 1441UT s/off 828 JOBB 1440UT s/off 972 HLCA 1543UT; not the barn burner that it was yesterday 1287 JOHR man and woman in Japanese 1557UT 1566 HLAZ man in Russian 1651UT; much reduced strength by 1700UT but VoA ID heard then not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 567 JOIK //594 1602UT 603 HLSA man in Korean 1604UT 621 ballads 1558UT, Chinese pips on hour, but with ballad accompaniment. Heilongjiang likely 639 CNR1 //945 1533UT 693 JOAB 1442UT s/off 819 operatic singing 1557UT, N. Korea likely 873 JOGB s/off 1440UT 981 CNR1 //639 1532UT 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) 531 JOQG //594 1532UT 711 HLKA woman //864 on Korean KiwiSDR 1603UT 837 woman talking Chinese intonation 1620UT 855 orchestral music, female opera 1556UT; if parallel to 819 was offset by a long way. N. Korea likely 864 ballad not //711, though that was pretty marginal at this time 1538UT 1017 CRI ballad, man and woman talking //1323 on Korean KiwiSDR 1526UT 1044 CRI? woman and man Japanese intonation 1530UT 1089 man Chinese intonation, 1601UT, nothing on hour; CNR6? 1098 CNR1 woman //945 1548UT 1143 woman Chinese? 1603UT 1242 two men Japanese intonation 1622UT 1323 woman talking, Russian intonation? 1529UT. Although 1323 was very audible on Khabarovsk KiwiSDR, 963 was not, so no parallel. Will need to check again, as 1323 is listed off 1500UT, 963 off at 1600UT.. 1575 woman talking, 1610UT, suspect VoA, but no signal on hour or half hours Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 648 666 675 738 846 918 954 1008 1116 1179 1188 1206 1251 1269 1296 1332 1422 seemed to be Asian; nothing 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]
