Not as spectacular as the geomagnetic conditions might suggest, but there was audio, and the old standby HLAZ roused itself after sunrise. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ building in strength from 1556UT onwards, then faded slightly at hour, 3 pips, then a brief carrier cut, followed by a return at stronger level with woman in Chinese, followed by a man in Korean giving an FEBC ID.

I'm sure I missed a number of things, with the erratic fading and all, but easily the most interesting morning in a couple of months. All Asian, big guns mostly on the low band from 1300 to 1515UT, then the high band starting popping in and out. HLAZ didn't completely throw in the towel until 90 minutes after local sunrise. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK two women in Japanese 1446UT, was in quite well as late as 1548UT 774 JOUB English lessons 1517-24UT Japanese child repeating English sentences read by an adult 828 JOBB woman in Japanese 1453UT, in and out until 1540UT s/off 1566 HLAZ choral music 1329UT, woman in Japanese; the Chinese and Korean programs didn't quite reach this level, but still pretty good Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 972 HLCA two woman in Korean 1353UT; man in Korean 1506UT 1557 Taiwan likely, various peaks from 1530UT, the last one about 1540UT with female jazz vocal 1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1539UT; even more interesting was choral music 1659UT, 3 and one pips, and man in Korean at 1701UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1422 woman in Chinese 1542UT 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) 693 JOAB end of Chinese lessons //774 1359UT, pips on hour, last one cleared the CBU-690splash quite strongly 846 NHK1 synchros, man and woman talking 1441UT //594 which was very weak at this time, but improved greatly as 846 faded 873 JOGB Chinese lessons // 774 1355UT 891 JOHK man talking //594 1522UT 954 maybe JOKR; man talking 1508UT and also 1526-7UT, Japanese inflection 1053 Korean jammer 1328UT 1134 man talking, Japanese inflection 1404UT 1143 soft music 1528UT 1323 woman talking 1540UT, Russian inflection? if so, CRI 1395 the mystery of the morning...quite a small echoey carrier (though hard to tell in 1380 IBOC), so maybe overmodulated, sounded like a swing vocal 1534UT, best on north Flag, slow talk by woman 1536-40UT, maybe Chinese?? 1575 woman talking 1525UT 1593 man mumbling 1529UT, maybe low and high pip at 1530UT, if so, CNR1 Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 918 1098 1161 1179 1314 1359 1494 1503 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

Hi Nick, I'm wondering if this was very local, as Bruce and Gary often hear east Asians better than I do pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ. This had brief bursts of recognizable CC talk at 1418 and 1420UT, but it started a bit a of a jag at 1531UT, with more recognizable talk, erratic fading to be sure, but kept building to this strength at 1538-9UT with lively choral mx, then gradually fading down to about 1545UT. A big surprise. Well, it sounds like a Victoria exclusive, Nick. I can't speak for Bruce, but 1566 didn't even manage a carrier here during sunrise enhancement around 1540. It was down for the count throughout the session. 1575 managed a moderate carrier from 1430-1530, but that was it for Asian signals here this morning. After yesterday's session, though, who is complaining? 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: Monday, January 26, 2015 8:16:12 PM Subject: [IRCA] TP 26 Jan Victoria version What with having to use the north Flag this morning, and others reports of lousy conditions with a DU bent, and my own monitoring, I expected a shut out.

Things were further downhill this morning. What little appeared around sunrise (actually closer to 1530UT) was at the top of the band, and neither 1566 or 1575 were heard! pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): none reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): also none not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: another round of nothing 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) : 1287 man talking 1531UT JOHR? 1503 a good carrier here at 1532UT, but only very poor strength audio: man talking. I'd guess JOUK, but Dennis' reported DU talk has me wondering. 1557 man talking 1529UT; Taiwan? 1593 pretty sure this was CNR1 at 1535UT, as the cadence of the man talking seemed //6125, but not 100% sure.
