Perhaps not as lively a morning as yesterday, but not to be sneezed at either. There likely were titbits that were missed when going over the recording. The peak seemed to be around 1405UT, with things quietening down considerably by 1420UT pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man and woman in Japanese 1341UT 747 JOIB start of English lessons after 1400UT 774 JOUB Korean lessons 1306UT; carrier still pretty good at 1541UT, but this had signed off at 1440UT 828 JOBB English time trials 1401UT 972 HLCA man in Korean 1412UT 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1407UT...this was pounding in also with man in Korean after end of Chinese broadcast at 1600UT nearly two hours after sunrise.

An interesting morning, though not as powerful and varied as yesterday, but some of the variation went towards the Philippines, and Indonesia (1377), and as on other relatively poorer mornings, HLAZ just went on and on after sunrise. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK various times 747 JOIB man in JJ //774, 1407UT 774 and 828 many times from 1230 to after 1400UT, 774 the most often 972 HLCA two men in KK 1236UT 1017 CRI woman and man in KK 1404UT; ID'd at weaker strength my music leading up to chimes and fanfare at 1400UT, which were barely heard, though the music was quite strong 1566 HLAZ the last strong peak was at 1608UT rock mx (!), and man in KK, briefly better than 1560 at this time. Choral mx at 1615UT was pretty good, but after that, it was mostly carrier, though with audio traces as late at 1636UT (oh yes, FEBC ID at 1600UT in case there was any doubt) Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 558 HLQH man in KK w?erratic fading 1403UT; ID later by //603 567 JOIK man in JJ //594 1408UT 693 JOAB man in JJ 1316UT //774; CBU's flute mx didn't have many sidebands just then 963 CRI man in RR 1415UT, //1323 a few minutes later 1053 KK jammer 1303UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 603 HLSA deep voiced man 1413UT //558 702 NHK2 man in JJ //774 1249UT 945 CNR1 vocal pop mx 1254UT; ID'd //981 a minute before 981 CNR1 vocal pop mx 1311UT; man and woman in CC 1406UT 1287 JOHR man and woman in JJ 1324 and 1422UT; noted as late at 1543UT w/rock mx 1314 Philippines? choral singing 1407 faded up to quiet male preacher 1408UT, sounded Tagalog to my untrained ear? 1422 JORF man in JJ 1354UT 1503 JOUK NHK1 theme mx 1410UT 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) 666 JOBK laid back vocal mx //594 1246UT 873 jazzy piano not //774 at 1337UT; didn't sound North Korean, unlike the opera singing heard at 1402UT o/u JOGB 891 man talking 1408UT, sounded KK, and definitely not //594 1323 CRI man talking //963 1422UT 1377 man talking quietly, definitely not CNR or NHK, 1416-1420UT Heard Indonesia here last year around this time, so went to RRI webpage, and there should be a stream for Toli Toli, but it doesn't work.

Off to work early again, so any sunrise enhancement is missing from my log.
