A lively morning from early on, and faded out more normally after 1530UT. By 1200UT, a number of big guns on the low to mid band were holding forth with great energy, some at their strongest for the morning.Many of the signals noted below were at the level indicated on and off for hours. Nice to snag a raft of CNR1 stations, even if only weakly. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB man in Japanese 1527UT; this was heard first at 1000UT. 774 JOUB man in Japanese 1158UT, probably got to this level at other times, but who was paying attention?

HLAZ showed reasonably well again this morning, though not as good as yesterday, and faded well before 1530UT. 603 picked up the slack a bit later, but overall quite a poor morning for sunrise enhancement, and for anything else for that matter pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ man in CC 1456UT; faded up around 1445UT, but didn't hit too many peaks like this Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 603 HLSA deep voiced man in KK, its best signal of the morning 1529UT, into music a bit more upbeat than usual. ID'd earlier by the distinctive syncopated pips at 1500UT. not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: the above, passing through 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 NHK1 theme mx 1420UT, then woman talking 774 JOUB end of language lesson theme mx, then pips 1300UT 972 HLCA likely w/male vocal, easy listening pop mx 1302UT 1503 JOUK? man talking 1524UT, no parallels available Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 747 828 891 1008 1116 1314 1359 1386 1431 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
