Hints of New Zealand earlier, and a weak high band blip after local sunrise, 
now at 15:24UTC.


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

not so




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: 

all quiet on the not so reasonable front





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) 

675 pop vocal 1458UT, pips on hour creeping through splat; last one longer 
points to NZ

774 two men, maybe Japanese 1436UT

909 ballad 1444UT, NZ?

1557 woman talking, 1528UT and 1535UT, pretty marginal, but guessing Taiwan?

1575 woman talking 1539UT, again marginal, but suspect VoA; better on north Flag

1593 maybe NHK2? as woman and man talking not //6175 1538UT, but  all gone by 
1540UT supposed NHK2 s/off



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)

594 828 1296  1359 1503 1566 1611 seemed to be Asian; 
 594 702 756 765 891 1017 1035 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

Hi Nick,

<<< The big news today was a worthwhile post sunrise enhancement. Previous to 
sunrise around 1530UT conditions had gotten quite anemic, then signals popped 
up that had not been heard before . As Gary noted, overall signal strength had 
been better earlier, in some cased, much earlier. My monitoring is from an hour 
before sunrise, so I might have missed some of those. >>>

Starting your monitoring about an hour before sunrise in a comfortable, heated 
house is the smart way to go. You may miss some unusual DX during the wee hours 
of the morning, but you won't be caught in a three hour endurance contest in 
subfreezing back yard cold wondering if some S9 Asian signals at 1230 will turn 
into S9+ signals at 1500.

The big news today was a worthwhile post sunrise enhancement.  Previous to 
sunrise around 1530UT conditions had gotten quite anemic, then signals popped 
up that had not been heard before .  As Gary noted, overall signal strength had 
been better earlier, in some cased, much earlier.  My monitoring is from an 
hour before sunrise, so I might have missed some of those.   

One thing this morning had in common with other mornings was the erratic nature 
of the signals; really only readable for tens of seconds in some cases.   Blind 
chance led to hearing CNR1 on 756 today; it was only audible at the time I 
logged it so far as I can tell; it just wasn't there in other parts of the 
recording.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):


1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese, then unusual (for HLAZ) oriental music 1538UT  
(although weaker an hour later, this still peaked with a man in Russian then)




Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):

774 JOUB English lessons 1432UT; this lasted long enough  for a barely audible 
s/off at 1600UT today
828 JOBB English lessons 1431UT
972 HLCA woman in Korean 1437UT
1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1600UT, fading up quickly after a weak pip on the 
hour, then fading back down again.   Was on and off audible until after 1630UT 
today.




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker:

567 JOIK man announcing sporting event in Japanese 1443UT, could have been 
//594 but that was mostly quite weak today
639 CNR1 low and high pips on the half hour 1430UT, time check and news
747 JOIB English lessons 1438UT
1098 CNR1 man in Chinese 1549-50UT, strongest overseas signal on band at this 
point.  ID'd earlier at similar strength with //945 1530UT 



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)

594 JOAK assumed at various times, as kept referring to it for parallels, and 
not very happy with the signal level, mostly in the murk
603 the daily mess of woman talking, likely Chinese, and low key music 1433UT
693 JOAB man talking //774 1451UT
756 CNR1 man and woman talking //639 1445UT
945 CNR1 briefly strong enough to establish //1098 1530UT, man talking
1089 CNR6 likely with distinctive classical music 1534UT; 6185 seemed parallel 
but too weak to tell for sure

1575 likely VoA, man mumbling in a SE Asian sort of way 1537UT.  Yankee Doodle

774 JOUB man in Japanese, almost a  chant 1423UT
1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1515UT.







Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it

747 JOIB anthem at 1535UT, a few minutes early today

972 HLCA man in Korean 1507UT
1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1536UT, into pop ballad
1593 CNR1 man in Chinese //6125 1514UT



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 talking //594 1420UT
945 CNR1 woman talking, Chinese inflection //1593 1534UT
1017 ballad 1414UT, not //NHK2, assumed CRI
1422 heavy bass  music, then woman talking, Japanese inflection 1512UT




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)

Not really sunrise enhancement, but a bit of pre-sunrise 
perhaps.  Once again, some of the Asiatics showed as early as 1000UT, 
but were generally stronger later.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


774 JOUB man in Japanese 1507UT
972 HLCA woman in Korean 1445UT


Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


747 JOIB English lessons 1419UT
1566 HLAZ man in Japanese over unaccompanied cello music 1335UT, fair 
to good from this time until 1345UT Japanese s/off




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


828 JOBB 1332UT, Chinese lessons; heard as early as 1200UT, but 
didn't return much after 1340UT



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 pips, man talking 1000UT //594
594 JOAK pips at 1000UT, man talking presumably Japanese
738 Tahiti possible;  pop music 1313UT
873 JOGB woman in Japanese //774 1447UT
1053 Korean jammer 0959UT, 1354UT
1422 man mumbling, then woman 1313UT
1566 man in Chinese?  1448UT


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


558 864 891 1206 1593   (no sign of 1557 and 1575 heard by Colin??)

Not an outstanding morning here, but did get a couple of loggings 
beyond the autumn/spring regulars; things started to improve around 
1445UT, pretty much done by 1515UT.

at least briefly):


594 JOAK woman in JJ 1310UT

1566 HLAZ briefly very clear, man and woman singing a ballad, faded 
into CC talk by man 1518UT

understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


972 HLCA  man in KK 1456UT



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:



828 JOBB man in JJ 1506UT //774
891 JOHK man and woman in JJ, rather excited, sports? 1457UT //594
1044 CRI man in JJ //5980 1502UT
1287 JOHR? female vocal 1456UT, sounded like JJ talk by woman a few 
minutes earlier, but weaker




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 woman talking //774 1455UT
738 Tahiti? man talking FF inflection 1314UT
837 JOQK? NHK pips 1300UT, woman and man talking, maybe JJ; no NHK1
