Things didn't seem awful this morning, though I suspect that signals may have been even better before I started listening at 1510UT, as signal strengths seemed to be dropping. Somewhat of an enhancement around 1525, then a slow fade out to 1600 and beyond.
However, if I hadn't had the time to seriously listen, it would have been easy to do a couple of quick checks and say "nothing to hear today" pretty darn good audio, at least briefly (all of it understandable by a native speaker) 639 CNR-1 //5030 at 1515UT reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 774 JOUB with maybe occasional spurts into the top tier of signals 828 JOBB at 1531UT, but there was a second station there also 972 likely HLCA 1575 seemed to be VoA fading up to this level by 1516 not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 567 JOIK //594 at 1527 603 SAH and 2 stations at 1519, one w/light instrumental mx and possible KK talk by woman 675 likely Vietnam? this seems well modulated, as carrier isn't always strong 747 JOIB 873 JOGB //774 at 1517 936 CC talk by woman at 1518 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) : 558 possible mix of two stations at 1526, hard to tell if anything //603 702 seemed //774, so NHK-2 pair 855 N. Korea //2850 918 talking in the murk 945 seemed //5030, so CNR-1 1134 seemed //5030, so CNR-1 1188 guessing it was //594?? Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 864, 1566; the latter actually delivered very murky audio (woman talking) for a moment or two at 1735UT, after their pattern change for the Russian program. 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
