An odd morning today, totally Asian despite the geomagnetic rumblings, and completely dead on the upper band. Best signals were from 1435 to about 1500UT, with a complete collapse around local sunrise.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB 1446UT 774 JOUB 1448UT 972 HLCA 1455UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): 594 JOAK 1436UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 702 NHK2 man and woman //774 1451UT 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) 567 JOIK //594 1442UT 585 JOPG woman talking, then choral music 1453UT //594 603 HLSA ballad 1457UT //558 on Korean SDR 612 JOLK complete shock (expecting 4QR with today's geomagnetism) with man talking //594 1436UT 828 JOBB never amounting to much 1459UT, but pips gave it away 873 JOGB man //747 1456UT 945 NHK1 woman talking //594 1453UT; pretty weak, but definitely parallel; likely JOIQ Muroran? judging by northerly locations of most other Japanese heard, so pretty fair DX... Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 711 1188 seemed to be Asian; nothing seemed to be DU 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
