[IRCA] TP 12 Jan Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

and.back in the bucket this morning...



pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

nada, 





Reasonable audio at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):

the above, passing through



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker: 

not even this




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) 

594 JOAK man mumbling after pips on the hour 1501UT

612 man talking, DU English intonation 1502UT

774 man talking, Japanese intonation 1524UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)
747 873 972 1566 1593 1611 seemed to be Asian; 
 567 855 891 1017 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Re: [IRCA] TP 12 Jan Victoria version

[Dennis Gibson]

I heard a few West Coast stations from the southwest coast of Maui (Kihei). The 
strongest were KTCT, KEIB and KTNQ (the latter two are 50 kW diplexed). Quite a 
few DU were heard on a rental car radio with dreadful selectively. 738 Tahiti 
was a regular on an average radio inside the condo across the street from the 
beach.

[R. Colin Newell]

What's interesting about this visit (from Kona) is the complete lack of West 
Coast stations-- not sure if the doldrums effect the E-W path to WCNA.

This AM was the epitome of blah -- with a couple of huge standouts that defied 
explanation. All Chinese. 

At this hour, audio on 540, 621, 1098 - assuming all Island stations.

Even more lackluster.   A few carriers, most likely DU, from 1300 to 
1430UT, then very poor until just before local sunrise, when a 
slight  lift occurred on HLAZ plus a couple of carriers.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


not today



Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


not here either



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1545UT




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)


 just HLAZ passing through




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


  702 738 891 1098 1116  all earlier and likely DU;   1287 1593 near 
sunrise, and seemed to be Asian





best wishes,

Nick

Thailand makes it to Alberta?   The best I can claim is weak male 
talk on 738 about 1502UT, might have been FF.  By 1530UT, the band 
had died completely.

Why yes, there was a sunrise enhancement, but it started from 
virtually nothing, so it wasn't up to much.  What action there had 
been previously died unceremoniously by 1400UT...




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


not here, not this time..


Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


1566 HLAZ standard restful s/off of the JJ program 1343UT.  CC s/on a 
few minutes later was a tad less vibrant.



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:



HLAZ passing through


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 man talking 1302UT //594
594 JOAK man talking 1258UT, but pips on the hour barely there
972 HLCA?  man and woman talking, possibly KK, 1552UT
1575 VoA? woman talking, possibly SE Asian language 1545UT
1593 CNR1 man and woman talking //6125 at 1546UT



Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter):


603 747 828 1242 1323 1422 1503 1557
