Again, there seemed to be quite a lot of signals before 1330UT, but by the time I started monitoring an hour later, things had faded to mostly big guns, but still quite a bit better than yesterday.

Not a great morning, though did get some brief good audio on a couple of channels. Pretty much all Asia, and a small sunrise enhancement.

For me, this morning was an improvement, with many carriers on the edge of audio, as well as some weak audio on unusual channels. There also seemed to be more action this morning before 1400UT (the signal strength monitor starts recording before the SDR), but quite a reasonable sunrise enhancement as well; bit of a gap in between though, except for NHK2 powerhouses which seemed to peak then. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB EE lessons 1422UT 1566 HLAZ woman in CC 1503UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 603 HLSA? although the music beforehand was livelier than usual, the talk sounded more like KK to my inexpert ears (and it wasn't //594, so not JJ)...2 men and a woman, lively talk 1540UT.

Hi Nick, Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 603 HLSA? although the music beforehand was livelier than usual, the talk sounded more like KK to my inexpert ears (and it wasn't //594, so not JJ)...2 men and a woman, lively talk 1540UT. This is what Gary heard also I think. See what you think: http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/603_20150125_1540.wav (also enjoy the erratic nature of sunrise reception) Actually your 603 recording seems to have the same male and female voices as my 603 recording from a few minutes earlier, Nick, so I'm pretty sure that you are correct about it being HLSA (and not China). The female was talking very fast and energetically in my MP3, making it sound like she had Chinese-type inflection. I checked 558 for a parallel at the time, but of course it was dead. On your recording all three of the participants seem to have calmed down, and talk in fairly sedate Korean. By the way, 603-HLSA seemed to be the best low band performer here all session long, maintaining its strength long after all of the NHK big guns had tanked. It never was overpowering, but unusually steady for late January. 73, Gary - Original Message - From: Nick Hall-Patch n...@ieee.org To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2015 10:00:15 PM Subject: [IRCA] TP 25 Jan Victoria version For me, this morning was an improvement, with many carriers on the edge of audio, as well as some weak audio on unusual channels.

I got my wish. It was apretty poor morning, but a little minimalist DXing yielded the following. As Bruce said, back to yesterday's recording, but not until tonightsome yard work needs doing. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB barely made it to this level briefly, 1526UT w/ man in JJ, only overseas audio on the band at this time 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: 738 Tahiti man in FF 1301UT 828 JOBB woman in JJ 1346UT 972 HLCA woman in KK 1410UT, pop mx 1427UT, a couple of other instances 1566 HLAZ woman in JJ 1302UT, and during JJ s/off 1344UT.
