Not an astonishing morning, but far better than yesterday, and with Iran back for a morning visit. A bit of a high band lift around local sunrise. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK 1549UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): 774 JOUB 1538UT 945 CNR1 man in Chinese //639 1536UT 1557 RTI, woman and man in Chinese 1541UT; web stream about 45 seconds delay 1575 The Buzz of Iran peaking up at 1529UT 1593 CNR1 woman in Chinese //945 1551UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 747 JOIB woman in Japanese, then anthem 1539UT 972 HLCA 1530UT 1287 JOHR woman and man in Japanese 1543UT 1503 JOUK man //594 1548UT 1566 HLAZ assumed, woman in Chinese 1547UT; still popping up 1641UT with Russian sounding talk by man 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) 639 CNR1 man //945 1537UT 1242 man and woman Japanese intonation 1531UT 1386 NHK2 music box 1541UT 1575 man talking, no buzz, 1548UT; no IDs available 1530 or 1600UT, but assumed VoA Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 621 891 918 954 1134 1215 1251 1323 1359 1377 1422 1458 1539 seemed to be Asian; 621 891 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

A bit more entertaining around sunrise this morning, and perhaps not quite so much earlier.

I did a couple of earlier patches of recording as well, that had a bit of action, but overall, quite a dud morning, nothing like the sunrise lift of yesterday. Although mostly Asia or hints thereof, quite a strong carrier was also heard on 1638.

I'm glad to see the southerners are back at the dials, proving once again that their reception of Asiatics will trump mine any time. You should have listened on some of my good mornings, guys. Today was OK here, but not outstanding, and the lift started later than usual around 1520UT. Plus, I have a new (or revived) noise source that pretty much coincides with sunrise enhancement (a furnace controller firing up?), and really makes the north Flag useless on much of the MW band. Wipes out shortwave parallels too. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB wx report in JJ by man 1301UT; never got this loud later 1566 HLAZ two women in CC 1534UT, though this lasted at lower level until well after 1600UT, as Dennis observed.
