An extraordinary mess of DX, much unidentified, or unidentifiable on multiple channels. I've run out of steam going through the files, so there's likely a lot still to be found....and never will be. A lot of peculiarity to the morning too, many signals with strong carriers and little to no audio riding along, plus domestic splash seemed pretty lively as well.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 567 JOIK woman in Japanese //594 1454UT 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1506UT 639 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1452-3UT, used a number of times for parallels 693 JOAB man in Portuguese //774 1449UT 747 JOIB 1500UT pips, woman in Japanese 774 JOUB woman singing //873 1458UT 828 JOBB too numerous to mention 972 HLCA woman in Korean 1455UT 1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1517UT, far better on north Flag. This wasn't quite as strong in general as other mornings. Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 657 woman singing operatic style 1500UT, assumed N. Korea 873 JOGB woman singing //774 1457UT 945 CNR1 1502UT, news sounder //639 954 JOKR man in Japanese 1518UT 1098 CNR1 woman in Chinese //639 1522UT 1143 Taiwan Fisheries woman in Chinese //738 1456UT 1242 JOLF man in Japanese 1503UT 1287 JOHR Japanese pop 1458UT 1323 CRI its incredibly strong carrier delivered this audio level very briefly, stringed music leading to chimes and fanfare 1459UT 1575 VoA ID, Yankee Doodle, following program in Burmese announcement by man 1530UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 558 HLQB as 603 1502UT 603 HLSA man talking //558 1502UT 612 JOLK 1459UT Anshin Rajio mention //594 666 JOBK 1508UT man in Japanese 702 NHK2 pips after music, //693 1500UT 702 unID sounded like Chinese talk by man; not //NHK2 for certain, 1448UT 738 Taiwan Fisheries ballad //1143 1445UT and many other times 819 female choral music 1451UT, N.
