A better morning than yesterday (not a high bar, admittedly). I think that the big gun signals at least may have been stronger in the hours before sunrise, but by 1445UT, the levels reported below were about the best it was going to be. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not quite Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): 594 JOAK 1517UT 774 JOUB 1517UT 972 HLSA 1542UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 603 soft vocal music 1538UT, likely HLSA? but no parallel 747 JOIB music box 1541UT 828 JOBB music box 1542UT 945 CNR1 two men in Chinese 1555UT //1593 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) 1098 CNR1 man //945 1556UT 1287 man talking, Japanese intonation 1606UT 1566 woman talking Chinese intonation 1556UT 1575 woman talking, SE Asian language? 1542UT 1593 CNR-1 man //6175 1549UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 639 702 819 891 1008 1323 seemed to be Asian; nothing much 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

Despite geomagnetic upset, there were still Asiatics, though these ones tended to be strongest in the upper end of the band with a peak around 1530UT, about 20 minutes before local sunrise. There was a lull between 1440UT-1510UT approximately for Asians, but not much in the way of Aussies showed up today. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not quite today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK last DX left standing 1553UT, man in Japanese 774 JOUB English lessons 1414UT; didn't come up to this during the pre-sunrise enhancement 1503 JOUK woman singing 1534UT //594 which was quite a bit weaker 1566 HLAZ assumed, female vocal 1534UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 828 JOBB "time trials" English lessons 1409 //774 1386 NHK2 man talking //747 at 1532UT, with 1386 the stronger 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) 612 man talking, DU English intonation 1507UT 693 JOAB man talking //1386 1532UT 747 JOIB man talking 1445UT; English lessons?

That turned out a more interesting morning than might have been gathered from my live listening from 1515UT onward. The opening seemed to start closer to 1430UT, and though not spectacular, had considerable audio at times from both DU and Asia. As Nigel observed, at least the American domestics seemed subdued as well. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1435UT, 10dB over 590's strength 702 2BL pips and fanfare on hour, and continued to fade up for news peaking 1502UT 747 JOIB English lessons 1520UT, up to 10dB stronger than 740 and 750 domestics 774 JOUB man in Japanese 1456UT, woman talking far underneath was //612, so 3LO Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 828 JOBB man in Japanese 1438UT 972 HLCA man in Korean 1509UT 1116 man in DU English, very readable at peaks 1519UT presumed 4BC not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 954 JOKR woman in Japanese 1458UT, two and one pips on hour as it faded down 1575 VoA? man talking SE Asian language 1552UT, peaked quickly and faded down 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 woman talking //594 1553UT 837 JOQK man and woman talking //594 1439UT 855 4QO/4QB woman mumbling //612 1449UT 945 woman talking, Chinese inflection 1502UT 1107 weak and murky, but music plus man talking insistently in the Chinese style 1456UT 1566 man mumbling 1717UT.
