Quite a lot of signals this morning, mostly Asian with a smattering of Down Under. On a number of channels, there was just a mess of weak audio, mostly too weak to get much clue as to what was happening, so I just left those ones as carriers.
Compared with yesterday it was an excellent illustration of the adage "what a difference a day makes" pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK female ballad //567 1453UT 747 JOIB man in Japanese 1414UT 774 JOUB news in Portuguese by man 1446UT; very strong 828 JOBB man in Japanese //747 1414UT 972 HLCA man in Korean 1419UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 567 JOIK man in Japanese //594 1401UT 693 JOAB woman talking //774 1406UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 531 JOQG man in Japanese //594 1421UT 558 ballad //603 1425UT 603 HLSA woman in Korean, single pip 1400UT, then gentle music //558 612 4QR man DU English 1424UT 873 JOGB man in Japanese //828 1409UT 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1449UT 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) 585 JOPG man talking //594 1407UT; heard again 1452UT 594 3WV light music //828 1414-5UT, underneath JOAK 666 JOBK man talking //891 1403UT 702 pop music 1409UT, not //612 or 747; NZ? 828 3GI soft music u/JOBB but //594 1415UT 855 4QB/4QO light music //594 (under JOAK) 1419UT 891 JOHK man talking //594 1451UT 909 soft music 1433UT; NZ? 945 CNR1 //1098 1444UT man in Chinese?
