An extraordinary mess of DX, much unidentified, or unidentifiable on multiple channels. I've run out of steam going through the files, so there's likely a lot still to be foundand never will be.A lot of peculiarity to the morning too, many signals with strong carriers and little to no audio riding along, plus domestic splash seemed pretty lively as well. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 567 JOIK woman in Japanese //594 1454UT 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1506UT 639 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1452-3UT, used a number of times for parallels 693 JOAB man in Portuguese //774 1449UT 747 JOIB 1500UT pips, woman in Japanese 774 JOUB woman singing //873 1458UT 828 JOBB too numerous to mention 972 HLCA woman in Korean 1455UT 1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1517UT, far better on north Flag.

Not a stellar morning, and not helped by a recording failure from 1410-1509UT, but the signal strength monitor says that (maybe) I missed something on 1503. Not many audios, and those that occurred eventually got strong enough to ID, but there really weren't many overall. Things pretty much fell off a cliff by 1520UT. 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): 1566 HLAZ presumed, choral mx 1517UT, best on north Flag not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 594 JOAK woman in JJ 1512UT 612 4QR presumed; Van Morrison song, announced at end by man in DU EE 1514UT 774 JOUB pips 1300UT and into wx report 1593 CNR1 man in CC 1514UT, seemed //6175 at 1515UT, but was fading pretty quickly 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? light pop mx 1511UT 972 HLCA? man and woman, maybe KK, 1307UT 1116 4BC? man talking DU EE inflection 1355UT 1575 VoA? man talking SE Asian language? but almost like a preacher 1519UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 558 702 738 855 891 1098 1188 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
