Definite improvement this morning.  NHK2 signed off again at 1440UT, but with 
considerably more zip than previous days:  JOUB-774 was at good level;  747 and 
828, fair; 702 and 873 poor; but all audible, as were their carriers later, 
when my actual monitoring period started,  one hour before local sunrise


A slight sunrise lift brought in the Philippines on 1611, but no HLAZ.




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

not yet


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


594  JOAK 1545UT

603 HLSA ballad, relaxed man in Korean 1542UT





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

567 JOIK 1601UT

972  HLCA 1549UT



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) 

558 HLQH ballad //603 1515UT

585 JOPG man //594 1518UT

612 man talking DU English intonation 1504UT

657 man talking DU English intonation 1504UT, not //612

1557 man talking, perhaps Chinese intonation 1557UT

1575 man and woman mumbling 1555UT; VoA? 

1593 CNR1 female vocal //6175 1602UT

1611 R. Mindanao network; male ballad 1555UT, same noted on Hong Kong KiwiSDR 
which fortunately maintained reasonable strength until 1600UT, when a "RMN" ID 
was noted.  Haven't found a webstream for this yet.




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)
 702 747 774 828 873 1134 1422 1458 1566 seemed to be Asian;

With sunrise now getting earlier again, I've started listening a 
little earlier also.   Today that was the time to hear some stronger

morning, but peaked early

sunrise (1550UT) at much lower levels, but actually featured quite 
readable Russian talk by man at 1636UT

It looked like a pretty good morning on the signal strength monitor, 
with occasional second tier channels showing some signs of 
life.   Unfortunately,  the drive that accumulates the SDR files 
decided that today it wanted to have a problem recording them.   So 
it was just live listening around sunrise until the problem could be fixed.

747 JOIB music box sign off 1541UT



Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it

Closer to Bruce's planet this morningthere was a little bit of

sunrise boost around 1540UT.  1575 was also the kingpin here, though 
both the pattern changes at 1500:15 and 1529:47 had a bit of a 
gentle change to them, happening over the course of a few seconds, 
almost like a real fade, but the fade didn't repeat itself.

Hi Nick,

The TP reception here this morning was similar to your description, although 
there was more of a sunrise lift here.

As you noticed, the band was mediocre at 1410 with only a few of the big guns 
around. Around 1500 things were still pretty subdued overall, but 972-HLCA was 
coming in with a very potent signal by the TOH. By 1530 there were lots of TP's 
all over the band, including moderate audio on 558 (Korean), 603 (Chinese), 648 
(VOR), 657 (Pyongyang), 936 (Chinese) and 1035 (Chinese), in addition to all 
the usual big guns. These weaker stations gradually faded out around 1550, 
leaving 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA as the sole survivors here at the 1600 TOH. 
Overall, it was a fairly decent morning.

Did NHK2 sign off early today?  By 1530UT, there was still a good 
carrier on 828 and sometimes 747, but no audio heard.   

The strong carriers on 747 and 828 around 1530 were noted here also, but with 
unusually good audio from the second-tier TP's coming in at that time, these 
Japanese big guns didn't receive much attention. Because of a strong carrier 
around 1533 I did check 747-JOIB's signal for audio, but only came away with 
750-Portland splatter.

Re: [IRCA] TP 23 Jan; Victoria version

TP signals were basically nil on the southern Great Plains this morning.  
The ROK jammer on 1053 kHz was heard again briefly before fading 
away.  The HLCA 972 carrier was weak after sunrise, but that was it.
Neither was as good as the past two mornings.  Hopefully reception will be 
better tomorrow morning.

Hi Nick,

The TP reception here this morning was similar to your description, although 
there was more of a sunrise lift here.

As you noticed, the band was mediocre at 1410 with only a few of the big guns 
around. Around 1500 things were still pretty subdued overall, but 972-HLCA was 
coming in with a very potent signal by the TOH. By 1530 there were lots of TP's 
all over the band, including moderate audio on 558 (Korean), 603 (Chinese), 648 
(VOR), 657 (Pyongyang), 936 (Chinese) and 1035 (Chinese), in addition to all 
the usual big guns. These weaker stations gradually faded out around 1550, 
leaving 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA as the sole survivors here at the 1600 TOH. 
Overall, it was a fairly decent morning.

Did NHK2 sign off early today?  By 1530UT, there was still a good 
carrier on 828 and sometimes 747, but no audio heard.   

The strong carriers on 747 and 828 around 1530 were noted here also, but with 
unusually good audio from the second-tier TP's coming in at that time, these 
Japanese big guns didn't receive much attention. Because of a strong carrier 
around 1533 I did check 747-JOIB's signal for audio, but only came away with 
750-
Portland splatter.

Ouch.   I noticed that the DX Fishbarrel was showing a good bit of 
color at about 1315UT, but just crawling out of bed meant that I 
didn't quite leap off to the radio.  Probably should have, as once 
again, conditions did a slide.  Even by 1410UT, all that was left was 
a few of the big guns.   However, there was a small sunrise lift 
around 1540UT, so there was something to show.

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

native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or

understood by a native speaker:

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