As Bruce mentioned, there really was a nice boost from 1575 this morning, best on the north Flag, but otherwise, DX was fairly thin around sunrise (though thinner before, although 1230-1300UT had some small action), and I wasn't able to stick around until 1730UT to see if 972 was still there (perhaps not, hi).
Oddly, the few signals that had a reasonable carrier delivered some audio; there really wasn't much else pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1575 VoA presumed woman in SE Asian language 1446 peaked out at this level; very little sign on 1566 in comparison. Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK woman in JJ after jazzy vocal 1242UT; not strong but quite clear. 774 JOBB man in JJ, woman in EE 1429UT; would have been perfectly readable if not for splatter 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) : 747 JOIB woman talking //828 1445UT 828 JOBB woman talking //774 1430UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 972 1251 1377 best wishes, Nick -- Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada n...@ieee.org _______________________________________________ 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
