Others have checked in with what a snorer this morning was. Someday we will have to figure out why. I wasn't listening early enough to hear what Derek heard, and suspect that it wouldn't have been heard this far north anyway. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): pounding the floor; hoots of derision Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): did I mention maniacal laughter? not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: in our dreams 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 4QR? female ballad 1353UT, followed by man talking, might have been DU EE; gone by the hour 738 Tahiti? faint talk by woman, might have been FF 1250UT 1116 man talking, could have been DU EE? 1314UT Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 891 that's all... 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

Actually quite a thunderous morning, but not at sunrise, rather a bit earlier. Maximum signals here in the 1330-1430UT time frame, and I'm sure I missed plenty just by not listening live. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 567 JOIK man in Japanese //594 1354UT 594 JOAK man in Japanese, 1342UT 612 4QR man in DU English being interviewed about stock market 1258UT; just before hour "6-12, ABC Brisbane", no pips, fanfare and news. 747 JOIB Chinese lessons 1346UT 774 JOUB English lessons 1301UT, man underneath seemed to be same programming as 612, but offset in time 828 JOBB English lessons, 1416UT 972 HLCA man in Korean 1438UT, but at this strength 1336 and 1355UT, plus others I'm sure.

Presunrise today was primarily Down Under.
