More Asia again today, with a smattering of China and Taiwan perhaps, though mostly carriers. 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): 972 HLCA man in Korean 1209UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 774 JOUB English lessons 1210UT 1566 HLAZ woman in Japanese 1245UT, after everything else had gone.

That was another easy session. One (count it,1) audio, 1503 with man talking, likely DU English, but not strong enough to tell 1232-34UT. Otherwise, even carriers were mythological. best wishes, Nick ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Be sure to register now for the Joint DX Convention Kansas City, September 9 to 11.
