It was a very good morning here. The whole band had a major resurgence,
leading me to spend most of my evening playing back recordings of
signals I don't hear much.
The highlights included:
- hearing something from home on 1458 for the first time (thanks to
Family Radio abandoning 1460)
- hearing 3 North Koreans in one morning
- wondering who would be playing Pink Floyd on 1512
- actually hearing somewhat OK audio on 603 for once
Good - A native speaker would have understood most of it, at least for
brief periods
594 JOAB, man in Japanese 1413
747 JOIB, weather report 1312
774 JOUB, weather report 1308
972 HLCA, woman in Korean 1301
1566 HLAZ, 1340 Japanese lady mentioning www.febcjp.com, then man,
then woman mentioning FEBC a couple times. Usual sign off with piano
music 1343
Fair - A native speaker would have recognized a few words here and there
567 JOIK, woman in Japanese //594 1316
603 S KOREA, pop music 1412, then man in Korean. Rare here
670 KDLG, legal ID & NPR Morning Edition 1400 mixing with KBOI
693 JOAB English lesson 1323
738 woman in Chinese 1408, sounded like another station in background
819 N KOREA, rousing march music with brief announcement by woman in
the middle 1330, then male in Korean in GNAW splatter
828 JOBB, 1359, end of Chinese lesson by man & woman, then pips at ToH
873 N KOREA, woman in Korean 1307
890 KBBI, woman with ID u/CJDC 1259
981 CNR1, announcements (ads) 1258, pips & time check 1300, ID
1300:40, then talk, fair in CKNW splatter
1053 Korean jammer 1334
1287 JOHK, Japanese talk 1415
1503 JOUK, man in Japanese, brief flute music, then more talk 1424
Poor - A native speaker would have also had to be a DXer to appreciate it
585 Conversation //594
648 Russia (presumed), male talk 1402
657 N KOREA, partial time pips & weak talk 1400, fair carrier but
shallow modulation
756 Asian talk 1402, not //774, didn't sound like CNR1 either (tried
to //981), possibly Korea,
936 weak talk & music 1408
945 CNR1, talk //981 1249 during pauses in KJR splash
963 CRI, chime & trumpet fanfare 1300
1017 CRI, 1300 the usual musical fanfare, 1302 man talking
1035 faint bits of talk 1344, growl from multiple carriers,
presumably CNR1
1323 Woman talking 1419, sounded Russian
1377 Man & woman in KRKO splash 1419, probably Chinese but not sure
1458 Male talk in non CC/KK/JJ 1418, possibly Mongolian but not
strong enough to say for sure. It's nice to have KARR-1460 gone :)
1512 Music, sounded like Pink Floyd's "Brick in the Wall" 1419, may
have followed it with "Comfortably Numb", 1423 man in what might've been
British or Aussie EE. Fair signal at times but was being hammered by
KGA and IBOC from KXPA and/or KFBK.
1575 1409-1430 pretty sure I had two weak stations here. The weaker
one had talk in unid language. The mostly dominant one was playing pop
music (rock and/or hip hop) and possibly had a woman with short
announcements between songs. Likely a mix of AFN & VOA.
Carriers - 558 612 666 675 684 837 855 864 909 927 954 1008 1026 1044
