Another "throw in the towel" morning. I agree somewhat with Bruce and Nigel that it wasn't as good as yesterday, signals were more erratic, yet there was still a ton of audio, with many channels showing two or more, but weak, and thrashed by splatter. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1307UT, and many other times 774 JOUB Chinese lessons 1305UT 828 JOBB...English lessons 1258UT 954 JOKR man in Japanese peaking at 1326UT 972 HLCA man and woman in Korean 1315UT 1566 HLAZ man in Japanese1302UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 693 JOAB English lessons //8281258UT 747 JOIB Chinese lessons 1322UT 873 JOGB Chinese lessons 1322UT 1053 man in Japanese, rather excited, sports? 1257UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 603 HLSA soft music //558 1338UT 612 4QR woman mentioning "ABC radio " 1337UT 666 JOBK man and woman talking //594 891 JOHK man talking //594 1337UT 963 CRI woman in Russian 1324UT 981 CNR1 two men in Chinese 1318UT, //945 1320UT 1134 KBS man in Korean 1309UT 1323 CRI woman in Russian 1302UT 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) 531 JOQG man talking //666 1304-6UT 558 HLQH 1338UT soft music //603 603 1309UT instrumental music, with island tonality; not //558; Waatea? 702 NHK2 Chinese lessons //774 1321UT 711 man talking, Korean? 1333UT 729 JOCK musical interlude, man talking //594 1324UT 738 Taiwan Fisheries man talking after musical interlude //1143 1327UT 756 CNR1 man mumbling //945 1313UT 756 man and woman talking DU English intonation 1330UT 846 woman talking, Chinese intonation 1333UT 864 pop vocal 1320UT; Japan? 909 soft music , not //NHK2 1341UT, NZ likely 909 JOCB woman talking //774 1307UT 945 CNR1 two men talking //981 1320UT 1017 woman talking, maybe island language? 1319UT 1143 Taiwan Fisheries man talking, //738 1327UT 1179 man talking Japanese intonation 1257UT 1206 woman talking, maybe Korean, into vocal music 1257UT; about 40Hz low, so likely Yanbian 1242 woman talking Japanese intonation 1314UT, likely JOLF? 1287 man and woman talking, Japanese intonation 1313UT 1296 JOTK man and woman talking, very weak, but //594 1327UT 1422 woman talking Japanese intonation 1593 man talking, Chinese intonation 1316UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 639 657 675 846 855 918 936 999 1008 1035 1089 1107 1215 1251 1269 1314 1332 1503 1575 seemed to be Asian; 558 576 585 1098 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

A lousy morning...until about 1335UTwhen the low band Aussies started to appear. Everything finished quite suddenly just before 1400UT, not surprisingly. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 4QR was closeAussies can be quite readable but also quite weak when local splatter is disappearing with sunrise.

As others have said, a poorer morning, and yetI too was listening to the slug fest on 603, with Chinese talk starting to dominate after 1325UT, not quite so punchy as Gary's recording, but pretty clear. That sure is a nice frequency. And a couple of other Chinese were heard also; about mid-November, we'll look back at this fondly, maybe. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 972 HLCA woman in KK after a ballad 1315UT 1566 HLAZ woman in JJ 1327UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK, JJ talk by man 1316UT 747 JOIK EE lessons 1323UT 774/828 NHK2 long weather broadcast leading up to call letter IDs 1319-20UT 891 JOHK woman in JJ //594 1338UT 1053 KK jammer 1332UT 1575 VoA man in SE Asian language 1334UT, best on N.
