Some improvement in conditions this morning, with HLAZ peaking well after local sunrise, and apparent Chinese on 837. The occasionally strong carrier on 846 was also noted, but no audio heard, so presumably the transmitter had been left on after s/off? pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB woman in Japanese 1517UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1566 HLAZ man in Russian 1640UT was the best strength heard on this one; was at least at mumble level, and often better, between 1600UT to after 1700UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 594 JOAK woman in Japanese, man on phone, 1540UT 693 JOAB woman in Japanese 1517UT //774 828 JOBB woman in Japanese 1501UT 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) 612 woman talking; English intonation, 1502UT 747 JOIB pop music //774 1458UT 837 man talking Chinese intonation 1517UT 972 HLCA, man and woman talking; Korean?.heard as late as 1716UT with man talking 1575 woman talking, Chinese intonation? 1510UT 1593 CNR1 faint female vocal music //6125 1610UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 567 603 639 738 918 1134 1188 1287 1314 1323 1386 1458 1539seemed to be Asian; 846 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 Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ 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

A much more lively morning than any in the past several weeks. Some earlier action on the lower band 1300-1400UT mainly, then occasional blips through 1545UT, when a reasonable sunrise enhancement occurred on the high band and went on for about 10-15 minutes after sunrise. Everything today was Asian. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ man in Korean 1603UT, and several other peaks during sunrise enhancement; several smaller peaks between 1430-1545UT as well 1593 CNR1 man in Chinese 1549UT was likely the biggest peak, but a number of others noted from 1430UT onwards, with //6125 noted once it faded in about 1545UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 774 JOUB woman in Japanese 1303UT, but various levels of readability until 1430UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 828 JOBB man tlaking //774 1321UT 1422 JORF assumed woman in Japanese 1548UT 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) 747 JOIB woman talking //774 1302UT 972 male ballad 1302UT 1377 CNR1 man and woman talking //1593 with slight offset, 1544UT 1386 NHK2 music box s/off 1543UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 594 702 1098 1242 1323 1332 1359 1494 1557 1575 seemed to be Asian best wishes, Nick ___ ___ 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

Most of the DX went to Alberta this morning, but there was a (very) mild sunrise enhancement pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1566 HLAZ woman in Japanese 1318UT; a tiny bit of audio 1524- 1537UT, could have been man and woman in Chinese. Slightly better on north Flag not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 972 HLCA? androgynous male ballad 1331UT, a few minutes later, man and woman talking, but too weak to tell language, possibly Korean? Signal crept in and out for next 20 minutes, but mostly gone by 1400UT 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) 774 no pips at 1400UT, but man talking, maybe Japanese 1401UT 1116 man talking 1544UT, sounded like DU English inflection, maybe a commercial? 1557 jazzy female vocal 1546-7UT, Taiwan? Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 738 1323 1386 best wishes, Nick ___ ___ 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

Now, that was a bit more like it. Double peak, one at around 1345UT fading down gently to nothing much from 1400 to well past 1500UT (unlike Walt's report, little sign of JOUK-1503 around 1500UT, but it acquitted itself well at other times), with another peak around 1545UT. Almost all the action the entire 1300-1600UT period was above 1250kHz. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1503 JOUK woman in JJ 1549UT, but had been in somewhat less well at many other times, fairly consistent signal this morning on many occasions. Heard //594 a couple of times, but 594 was a pale shadow in comparison 1566 HLAZ Big JJ s/off 1343-1344UT, then a reprise with woman in CC 1349UT; a very anemic sunrise peak in comparison, man in CC barely readable 1545UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1287 JOHR man in JJ 1543UT, but similar strength w/woman in JJ 1259UT followed by single pip on hour, then man talking 1386 JOQC? This one was also in during both peaks, though strongest signal during s/off at 1540-5UT. Still fading up during the call, but that one seemed pretty much "JOQC", which is in NE Honshu with nothing much but salt water until Vancouver Island. Another one to listen to a bit more. 1593 CNR1 woman in CC 1347UT, mixing w/NHK2 1593 JOQB? NHK2 s/off anthem then chimes w/CNR1 way under //6175, 1540UT, best by far on N. Flag despite splash from 1600. Almost certain that the ID before the anthem was "JOQB NHK Niigata", but it was still fading up at that time.I might play more with this, as I don't think I've heard a call ID at home. not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1602 NHK2 synchros. S/off chimes 1542UT 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) : 594 JOAK woman in JJ //1503 1549UT 774 JOUB man mumbling 1350UT seemed //1386? 1557 Taiwan? female pop mx 1547UT, best on North Flag 1575 VoA? man talking, west Flag Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 567 603 1269 1314 1332 1377 1422 best wishes, Nick ___ 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
