A small improvement on yesterday, mainly down unders, and for a limited time. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not by any means 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: 612 4QR //774 1505UT 774 3LO "sunny and 41" from woman, "ABC radio" from man 1504UT.

A little Asian activity before 1400UT (in fact, an earlier recording (1000UT) had suspected New Zealand on 819 and 1107), then a little more around sunrise. Not unpromising is the best that can be said 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): 774 JOUB orchestral music then western classical sounding choral music with man in Japanese talking, 1532-9UT, unusual programming for this. At 1540UT nice "JOUB dai ni hoso" ID and into national anthem and music box. 1566 HLAZ not much at actual sunrise (1542UT), but faded up immediately after 1600UT and by 1602UT, man in Korean was easily as strong as the Japanese s/off had been at 1343UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 972 HLCA woman in Korean 1550-1UT, best strength of the morning. Pips crept through at 1600UT also. 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 laid back vocal music 1346UT 567 JOIK woman talking, Japanese inflection 1334UT, paralleled with similar strenght 594 at 1335UT 819 man talking, sounded like DU English 0959UT, 6 pips on hour; New Zealand? 1107 woman talking 1001UT, DU English inflection Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 945 1098 1116 1143 1593 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

That was a bit of a wild ride, compounded by the fact that I always seemed to be on the wrong antenna; there were serious differences between the north and west Flag this morning. Most vivid was the sub-600kHz opening on the west Flag that was hardly there at all on the north Flag around 1520UT. Slightly later, as Bruce said, the upper band had more emphasis especially on the north Flag, then everything crashed just after 1535UT for the most part, except HLAZ which held on thunderously until it started to fade after 1540UT pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man and woman JJ 1521UT 603 HLSA male ballad, KK talk 1521UT 1503 JOUK man in JJ 1533UT //594 sometimes much stronger, sometimes weaker 1566 HLAZ man and woman in CC, musical interludes 1530UT until after 1540UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 558 HLQH male ballad 1521-3UT //603 w/JOCR nipping at its heels w/man in JJ 1557 Taiwan vocal pop mx 1532UT best on north Flag 1593 CNR1 man in CC 1535UT, briefly at this level and //6125; earlier, may have been NHK2, but no parallels not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 531 JOQG man in JJ //594 1521UT 540 NHK1 synchros man in JJ //531 1521UT; catch of the morning, dominant on channel at times 774 JOUB man in JJ 1509UT 1422 JORF man in JJ 1523UT 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 in JJ //594 1521UT 1242 JOLF? man talking 1534UT, JJ inflection 1575 lively vocal pop mx 1528UT; didn't sound VoA; by 1530UT, not enough left to hang your hat onto Strongish het, no or near imaginary audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 576 612 1269 1359 1377 1386 1458 1539 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

An odd morning, with a bit of an enhancement where 1557 pretty ruled, and 1287 had two stations, neither of which sounded like JOHR. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nothing quite made it today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1557 Music Interactive Network man in CC 1529UT 1566 HLAZ man and woman in JJ 1301UT; nothing quite this good during the CC program 1575 burst of VoA theme mx at 1530UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 738 Tahiti woman in FF battling the splash 1449UT 972 HLCA likely, female vocal mx 1527UT 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) : 603 HLSA? male ballad 1344UT 612 4QR male talk, on and off until just past 1400UT when ABC news fanfare was heard, and woman started talking 909 unID instrumental mx traces 1526UT 1287 unID woman talking sounded CC, instrumental music also that had an oriental flavor, not usually JOHR's style 1314 woman talking, could have been JJ 1524UT 1422 man mumbling in splash, maybe CC? 1534UT Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 747 774 828 891 1098 1116 1224 1269 1404 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
