It took quite a long time to go over the recordings from just 1410 to 1420UT this morning; I sort of felt like a deer in the headlights of a Great Wall truck, or perhaps a fleet of them. Usual disclaimer under these conditions that I must have missed a ton of them, multiple signals on various channels, sit on one channel and wait for them to fade in, etc. etc. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1450UT; still traces of audio after 1600UT 774 JOUB English lessons 1436UT 828 JOBB man in Portuguese 1453UT 954 JOKR man in Japanese 1412UT, just owning the space between 950 and 960kHz 972 HLCA man in Korean 1411UT; something else underneath. Still pretty good signal at 1539UT with slow oriental music and man in Korean Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 558 HLQB pop music //603 (which was poorer) 1414UT 666 JOBK man in Japanese //594 1412UT 693 JOAB English lessons 1414UT 747 JOIB English lessons 1411UT 819 N.

Not an impressive morning, mostly big guns before 1430UT, although 1242 managed a post sunrise squeak. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 came close Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK two men in Japanese, then a woman 1408UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 747 JOIB woman in Japanese 1344UT briefly at this level, then into Chinese lesson theme music 774 JOUB English lessons 1409UT 828 JOBB English lessons 1419UT 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) 1242 woman talking, Japanese inflection 1538UT, an hour after local sunrise 1503 JOUK woman talking after musical interlude //594 1415UT 1566 man mumbling 1422UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 567 693 1287 1386 1422 1557 1593 seemed to be Asian;558 612 1098 likely DU? best wishes, Nick Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ 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

An odd morning, and not just because HLAZ was doing it's two hours past sunrise appearance again. Appearances from a couple of apparent Japanese commercial stations, yet in general, it wasn't a very lively morning for the first string stations. Once again, more activity after 1400UT, even after 1430UT. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): well, it wasn't that lively Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK man in JJ 1408UT was the first appearance, but a little stronger at 1434UT w/pop mx, better on north Flag, mostly due to less local noise. 774 JOUB man in JJ 1314UT, but many other appearances, usually not this strong 828 JOBB woman in JJ 1417UT //774 1566 HLAZ man in JJ, choral mx 1341UT; still signs of weak audio as late as 1630UT this morning 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) 612 man talking, maybe DU EE 1325UT 702 rhythmic vocal mx 1430UT, slower mx at 1432UT seemed //612, but both were so weak as to make it wishful thinking 954 JOKR? man talking, could be JJ 1324UT, again at 1415UT, couple of men, JJ inflection 1134 JOQR? woman talking 1354UT, JJ inflection 1242 JOLF? man talking, maybe JJ inflection, but talking slowly, more like a speech than the usual pyrotechnics of a JJ commercial station 1323 woman singing 1419UT; normally hear only CRI here, and that rarely this season Strongish het, no or near imaginary audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 738 837 891 1017 1287 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

Vastly superior to the past little while, though I'm not sure I would go so far as Bruce did in his description. 24 January still has some very fond memories for me. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK woman in JJ then man 1336UT 1575 VoA man in SE Asian language banging in 1435UT when pretty much everything else had faded, most for good. Had been pretty good earlier as Bruce noted. Burmese program announcement at 1430UT definitely had some zip.

I gather from the silence that it wasn't just me who had, um, extreme minimalist DXing conditions. Monitoring from 1400ish to after 1430UT (not continuously...life is too short), yielded 1557 w/instrumental mx and woman talking at the noise level at 1423UT, and, carriers, some close to audio but not quite there: 594 603 972 1287 1422 1503 1512 1566 1512 was interesting in that it was pretty much the strongest carrier on the band, near audio, at 1437UT. Like I said, extreme minimalist DXing. Now, time to get a life,hi. 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
