Dialing back a bit from yesterday... no sign of any Chinese today 


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

774 came close





Reasonable audio at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):



594 JOAK 1558UT

774 JOUB 1520UT







not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker: 

567 JOIK 1549UT

747 JOIB 1532UT, rare fade up

828 JOBB 1525UT, only appearance this morning

972 HLCA 1524UT

1566 HLAZ male/female vocal, woman in Chinese 1553; exactly one hour later, man 
in Russian





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) 

603 soft vocal music, likely HLSA

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?

Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it

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

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or

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

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

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 imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter):


567 603 1269 1314 1332 1377 1422
