Heard some of what Bruce did, but not all. As he pointed out, sunrise boost in a big way; I wonder if Dennis started listening just a moment or two too late, given his sunrise is about 15 minutes before mine. One other point to note is that all signals were better on the north Flag this morning. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ woman in CC 1545UT; audio started about 1506UT, but didn't get thunderous until 1540UT or so 1593 CNR1 man in CC 1549UT; still hanging in there fairly well at 1600UT w/pips and Beijing time check Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1386 NHK2 mx box peaking 1543UT 1593 NHK2 mx box cutting up CNR1 at 1541UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1422 JORF likely, man talking JJ, but lots of splash 1544-1545UT 1494 unID male ballad 1548UT, followed by man in Tagalog? 1575 VoA men in SE Asian language, one on phone, 1546 and 1552UT; at 1600UT, Voice of America ID in EE 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) 1314 JOUF? woman talking, JJ inflection 1542UT 1512 NHK2 mx box 1543UT 1602 NHK2 mx box 1544UT Strongish het, no or near imaginary audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 828 1044 1098 1269 1359 1458 1503 1557 1584 best wishes, Nick ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com

This morning I seemed to have been on a better planet than Bruce wasmore like the coastal version of what Nigel was describing, right down to the plethora of carriers. There must have been more splatter today, as there were quite a lot of strong carriers not...quite...delivering audio. Pre-sunrise enhancement from about 1525 to 1545UT here, quite definitely, and applying mostly above 1000kHz. My major catch was just moments before sunrise however... pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ...1344, the JJ s/off, then lots of CC talk and some mx from 1530 to 1545, fading up to excellent levels 1593 CNR1 various levels of hugeness after firm ID //6175 at 1514UT; probably best at 1548UT, top overseas signal on the band in more ways than one, and accompanied by a second station, woman singing fluidly, which I believe was my catch of the month (maybe the year?)Taiwan Fisheries (see below) Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/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: 594 JOAK man in JJ 1405-06UT 774 JOUB man in JJ 1404UT 1044 CRI woman in JJ 1527UT, ID'd as //5980 at 1518UT 1116 unID. man and woman in CC 1533UT, not //5925, so not sure which CC it was. 1377 CNR1 man in CC //6175 1534UT, peaking 1344UT oriental singing by woman 1575 VoA woman in SE Asian language 1426UT 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) : 1035 CNR1 man talking, a few words slipping through //1593 at 1532UT, musical interlude, and more talk 1098 CNR11? chanting 1522UT, no parallel available 1143 ? instrumental mx 1538UT 1242 JOLF? man talking, JJ inflection 1508UT 1278 man talking, then woman, sounded CC? 1540UT 1305 woman talking 1535UT, but another station with man talking at the same time?? 1314 JOUF ? man and woman talking 1535UT, JJ inflection 1332 JOSF? woman talking rapidly, JJ inflectionn 1541UT 1458 man talking, CC sounding 1544UT, not CNR1; sounded like a mess of signals on the channel 1593 Taiwan Fisheries. 1548UT. While CNR1 was blistering in, there was a woman singing a lilting little number way underneath, that sure sounds like what Taiwan Fisheries archive (http://www.frs.gov.tw/newweb/live.asp?d=2014/1/19) says was being played just at 23:48 Taiwan time. By 1550UT a woman was talking u/CNR1, and so there was on the archive also..sure do like those archives!
