So far I've managed to definitely ID one NZer from yesterday: Newstalk 
ZB on 1296 (a bit of a surprise).  There are probably a few others.  I'm 
pretty sure 1503 was in as well, albeit briefly.

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

594 JOAK man  in Japanese 1409UT



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

612 4QR rock music //702 1339UT

756 RNZ National woman in DIU English //675, into church sounding choral music.

774 JOUB man in Japanese 1339UT //828

828 JOBB man in Japanese 1343UT, similar strength 1401UT, English news?



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


567 RNZ National choral music //756 1342UT

747 JOIB man in Japanese //774 1343UT



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 4JK country vocal //612 1409UT

576 2RN ABC fanfare 1400UT

594 Star, laid back vocals //657  taking over briefly from JOAK 1348UT

657 Star, leapt out briefly from behind the splatter 1348UT; //594 and,, later, 
963

675 RNZ National woman talking //756 1411UT

693 JOAB man talking //774 1345UT, creeping through splatter

702 2BL rock music //612 1339UT

963 Star  laid back vocal music //657 1402UT 

972 man talking, perhaps Korean 1412UT

1017 island choral music 1405UT, west Flag only, likely Tonga

1287 man talking,Japanese intonation 1405UT

1566 woman talking, Chinese intonation, 1412UT; big carrier, poor modulation.  
Likely HLAZ?

1593 man talking, Chinese intonation  1413UT


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

873 1053 1242 1323 seemed to be Asian; 
603 855 882 918 936 1026 1098 1458 1503 seemed to be DU

A mix again of big gun Asia and Australia, with the band above about 
1200kHz almost completely dead save for a burst from 1242.   Some 
samples recorded earlier in the morning indicated a more Asian 
flavor, also big guns, though Tahiti was quite strong about 0800UT.


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


several were close, but the winnah:
612 4QR man talking 1408UT; earlier parallels with 702


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


576 2RN woman and man DU English peaking at 1359UT, as jazz started, 
and by then //621 also

702 2BL man and woman DU English //612 o/pop music 1354UT
774 JOUB Chinese lessons 1355UT
1053 Korean jammer 1355UT



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or

738 2NR two male talkers, one //612
792 man sounding like DU English 1407UT
954 man talking, sounding Japanese 1403UT
1242 pop music 1415UT, then woman talking, Japanese inflection?

A decidedly bitty morning, erratic and a bit thin on the ground, with 
the bulk of the action around 1400UT again



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


1287 JOHR briefly peaking 1356UT with man in Japanese
1566 HLAZ also briefly peaking 1358UT  with woman in Chinese, brief 
vocal music, then echoed Chinese talk as it faded to nothing by the 
top of  the hour





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 1355UT, //774 which was also at this level
1566 HLAZ the Japanese programs peaked only to this level 1343UT with 
woman in Japanese signing off, wishing me "oyasumi nasai" (good 
night; odd, that I was heading off to work), and a nice "H-L-A-zeto desu" ID



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


594 JOAK man in Japanese 1410UT
1143 Taiwan Fisheries likely with woman in Chinese interspersed with 
a brief musical figure 1414UT; nothing on 738 at this time, and the 
web archive seems to be giving me corrupted files.



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 R. Waatea??? woman and man talking, didn't really sound Korean,

792 man talking, DU English? 1355UT
972 woman talking, 1355UT Korean inflection?
1053 Korean jammer 1353UT

Hi Nick, 
  
It's great to have you back in the daily TP chase. 
  
You really haven't missed very much-- except for September 23rd and October 
11th (Saturday), the season has been pretty underwhelming. I hope that things 
will pick up before you guys head for Grayland this weekend.

As others have already noted, the mid-October anomaly this 
morning.I did spend a little time with the recording, and found a 
couple of things that weren't obvious at first glance, but they were 
brief signals above the crud.



pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker,

expecting a bit much.


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


774 JOUB man in JJ 1410UT, someone underneath also
972 HLCA sing along time in the studio, just for me, choral 
accompaniment with recorded music 1340UT, then man in KK; other times 
at lesser level



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


1575 likely VoA; SE Asian language by woman; mess of at least two 
smeared carriers on channel, and someone else about 43Hz low.




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 woman talking JJ inflection? 1415UT and other times
693 JOAB man talking 1352UT //774
738 Taiwan Fisheries laid back vocal pop mx, 1349UT ; pretty sure it 
matched the cached audio on the station's website
