The bulk of anything interesting was between 1540 and 1605UT, and it wasn't that exciting. All Asian except for one DU carrier long before local sunrise 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): not here either not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: or here 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) (all Asia) 1242 man mumbling 1543UT, woman at 1551UT might have been Japanese, but much too weak to say 1422 woman mumbing rapidly 1544UT, possibly Japanese??, into ballad 1546UT, and mostly gone a couple of minutes later 1566 first noted 1551UT with woman singing 1551UT, woman talking, Chinese inflection 1553UT, also at 1600UT, than a man talking.

Things are looking up. Not only was there barely detectable audio (twice!) from suspected Tahiti-738, there was occasionally a pretty fair carrier on 828. Not sure that any heart medication will be up to quite that level of excitement. 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

Definitely more action at sunrise today, and less earlier. Peaking maybe 1530-1540UT, particularly on the lower band. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ man in CC 1525, 1539UT top signal, but plenty of other readable periods after 1500UT. Considerably better than during earlier JJ broadcast 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 KK 1532UT, still there 1551UT, and barely readable 1606UT when I shut down 1593 CNR1 another one with lots of signal after 1500UT, peaking w/man in CC //6175 1527UT, but continuing to after 1600UT at lower level not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 603 HLSA? Da Doo Ron Ron a little upbeat for this one, at 1538UT, but don't think it was the Chinese, which may have been arguing with this earlier, man talking, mixing with more sedate vocal mx. Best on west Flag 774 JOUB man in JJ 1449UT, brief fade up. Weaker signal at 1533UT, sounded like woman w/EE lessons 1314 JOUF man in JJ, briefly at this strength at 1529UT, but talk and mx was there for about another 10 minutes at lower levels 1575 VoA assumed w/orental sounding female vocals 1529UT. Couldn't keep up with 1566 and 1593 this morning. 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/ man talking JJ inflection 1534UT, mixing w/ someone else w/ vocal mx?
