Now you know why you returned to Oklahoma earlier than now in other years John! Listening from 1450 to 1515UT here yielded unexciting results also. The big guns would occasionally fade up to big gun-dom, but pretty much everything else was in the murk or had completely drowned. Only oddment was a brief period where 639 was hosting something other than CNR-1, and it seemed Asian, but not //NHK-1 or 2. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 279 R. Rossii 594 JOAK; someone under, CC?, at 1509 639 CNR-1 //5030 at 1451UT 774 JOUB 828 JOBB; someone under it at 1513 reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 747 JOIB 972 HLCA not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 639; CNR-1 faded down at 1504UT and a second station w/mx took over for less than a minute at this level 873 JOGB the only NHK2 station audible at 1503UT (!); language lessons easily recognizable 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) : 576 567 JOIK //594, not until 1509UT 612 JOLK //594 briefly at 1507 666 couldn't snag any parallel 738 2 stations 936 CC sounding talk at 1510UT 1134 2 stations (Korea and Japan?) 1287 Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1098, 1566 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
