Now that was quite a bit better. Mainly a Japanese lift on the upper band around sunrise; before then, the now normal dullness prevailed. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): no Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): 1422 JORF woman in Japanese 1552UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1242 JOLF man in Japanese 1541-3UT 1566 ? rather lively music for HLAZ, then woman in Chinese 1547UT, maybe someone else in Chinese underneath.

Quite a fall back in quantity and quality this morning. However, HLAZ was still delivering some audio before 1700UT, well over an hour after local sunrise. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB "NHK radio" mention by woman 1440UT; also peaked very nicely during s/off anthem at 1500UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1535UT, kept cooking fairly nicely until about 1620UT, then reappearances at 1636 and 1655UT with man in Russian. not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 972 HLCA man and woman in Korean 1501UT 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 pretty marginal, but ballad //603 1446UT 567 JOIK creeping through splatter with man talking 1506UT //594 594 JOAK never really got above this level; ID'd //567 above 603 HLSA ballad 1446UT //558, and somewhat clearer due to lack of splatter 747 JOIB man and woman //774 1454UT 828 JOBB woman //774 1455UT; a better strength carrier than this noted several times after audio stopped at 1505UT 1593 CNR1 man talking //6125 1536UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 639 873 1134 1575 seemed to be Asian; 738 837 846 891 1017 1098 1503 seemed to be DU best wishes, Nick Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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

Well, Mr. "all-thumbs" managed to foul up the SDR recording this morning, but still recorded the signal strengths of the 9kHz channels. It looks like it was a pretty disappointing morning right up to local sunrise, when there was a little upper band action. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not that good, though 1566 came close Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1566 HLAZ pop music, 1535UT, erratic fading, man in Chinese not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: the above passing through 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) 1557 slow jazzy vocal by woman 1534UT 1575 woman talking, maybe a SE Asian language? 1533UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 1422 1494 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

more minimalist DXing yielded the following: pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ man in CC, bits of mx, best on the N. Flag various times 1520-9UT. This showed some audio at 1640UT, woman talking, quite weak, but bright sunshine outside then. The carrier hung on until well after 1730UT, when even Spectran lost track of it. 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: 1503 JOUK occasional bits of JJ talk by man 1505UT, ID'd earlier w/pips on hour, and even earlier at 1418UT w/ weak talk //similarly weak 594.
