Well, that Asian opening yesterday, such as it was, was a brief flash in the pan. This morning was considerably more laid back, with only a couple making the top grade of listening, and that only around 1430UT, after starting at 1345UT, and checking back several times in disbelief at how poor it seemed.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK at 1420UT 774 JOUB at 1428; mostly much weaker reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): none except the above passing through not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 747 JOIB at 1351 1287 JOHR at 1420UT 1566 HLAZ not until 1428UT 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) : 279 likely R. Rossii 567 JOIB //594 828 JOBB 954 JJ inflected talk at 1426. JOKR? 963 RR inflected talk, at 1422 //1323, so CRI; these were the best catches of the morning 972 best this one could manage, though good carrier 1017 continues a mystery; two stations there, neither parallel to NHK2 or CRI; woman talking o/u mx 1242 at 1421, JOLF? 1323 CRI //963 at 1422UT 1575 at 1429UT; VoA? Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): none noted particularly 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
