Yesterday, my antenna broke; today, propagation broke. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): uh uh Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): nope not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: actually, HLAZ's Japanese program did manage this level, organ mx, choral mx 1328UT, FEBC mention by woman 1336UT, and now and again up through Japanese program s/off at 1345UT. Snippets of the CC program showed up over the next 15 minutes or so at lower level 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) 972 man talking 1307UT 1044 hints of woman talking 1413UT.really reaching here, but there wasn't much else Strongish het, no or near imaginary audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 828 1044 1053 1242 1422 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

Deader than ever this morning, if you discount apparent Tonga on late on 1017. Unfortunately their website seems to have no stream on it for radio, just some archived programs pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not even remotely today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): even this was too much to ask for not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 612 4QR likely with man in DU EE 1233UT 1017 Tonga? choral mx, religious sounding? then woman talking quietly in what sounded like an island language, mostly rather murky, then more choral mx, 1434-1440UT; a reprise at 1456UT with man talking, sounded like accented EE, but faded to barely readable by hour, and no apparent change in talk at 1500UT. Carrier was quite strong 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) : 738 Tahiti? Island choral mx 1408UT 1566 HLAZ assumed, woman talking 1441UT, but murky. Best on north Flag Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 594 873 891 1242 1422 1512 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
