[IRCA] TP 24 Jan Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Back in the bucket.   No idea when NHK2 signed off; it was that poor.  Some of 
the Asian carriers showed hints of audio, but too close to wishful thinking to 
claim.





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

 no


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


no




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

and still no



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) 

1017 island vocal music 1506UT, Tonga likely

1566 choral music 1546UT, likely HLAZ

1593 man talking, perhaps Chinese, had that assertive CNR1 approach 1535UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)
 594 774 828 972 1242 seemed to be Asian; 
738 792 891 1548 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

Although there seemed to be quite a lot of signals before 1330UT, by 
the time I started monitoring an hour later, it was pretty dead, and 
got mostly deader.   Except HLAZ of course, which had its best signal 
at 1645UT, though that wasn't much, and faded up again at 
1700UT.   Almost as if sunrise didn't matter.

774 3LO ABC fanfare and man reading news 1500
774 JOUB just a hint of music box at 1501UT, when 3LO faded down; 
again signing off at 1500UT

1017 Tonga? island vocals 1503UT
1566 deep voiced man talking, sounded Russian  1645-6UT, piano music 
and vocals at 1700UT; HLAZ assumed

At times, I had a VERY loud but mushy, splatter ravaged Middle Eastern
signal on 1575 today with talk and music. Very little worthy of recording
but very clear of what I hear.. it was not VOA by any means and there was
next to ZERO sign of 1575 The Eagle Misawa, Japan.. which, if anything is
heard on 1575, it's usually them.

My listening was from about 1830 to 1915UTC today

A different recording foul up this morning, so only live listening 
from 1535UT, which was reasonable but not astonishing.







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



not quite


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



1566 HLAZ male ballad followed by woman in Chinese, at 1550UT
1593 CNR1 woman in insistent Chinese, man mostly agreeing (presumably 
knowing what is good for him) //6125 at 1543UT, fading up to this 
level with man in Chinese 1549UT



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



594 JOAK woman in Japanese 1551UT
693 JOAB man in Japanese 1538UT; CBU-690 quite suppressed this 
morning, so, less splatter.




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)


972 faint vocal music, maybe Korean talk by man? 1541UT
1575 VoA, fairly consistent from 1544UT; 1548UT man talking to woman 
on phone, SE Asian language? At 1600UT "you are listening to the 
Voice of America" presumed, by man, certainly all the right 
syllables, and recognizable bits of "Yankee Doodle"




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


1206 1359 1422 1458 1494 1503 1512  all seemed to be Asian;   nothing 
seemed DU during the time I listened




best wishes,

Nick

Another odd mix of DU and Asian, with a touch more of the former


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


not quite






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


774 JOUB s/off music box, man talking weakly under that turned out to 3LO
972 HLCA woman in Korean 1511UT, then pop ballad
1116 4BC likely, DU English man, another on phone 1338UT



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


594 JOAK woman in Japanese 1525UT
738 Tahiti, woman inn French 1444UT
747 JOIB NHK pips 1500UT, into English lessons, "hi everyone"; barely 
there for music box s/off 1522UT

891 5AN woman in DU English, then "this is ABC news" at 1535UT


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?  man talking DU English inflection 1426UT
702 2BL 6 pips and ABC news fanfare 1200UT, noted as late as 1522UT //774

also, but still being sat on by JOUB open carrier

828 JOBB s/off music box 1524UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)

The decline continues unfortunately, except that 1566 did hang around 
for an awfully long time. I believe that I finally lost an audible 
carrier around 1915UT.Otherwise, things were mildly more active 
before 1500UT.

Yes, quite ho hum as well in Masset.  In contrast to other days, HLAZ did
not seen off, and hence the strong signal well past 19:00.  2MM 1656
continues to deliver great audio...the only regular X bander.  Some DU
today as well on 1548 and 1116.  73,  Walt

A big DX session was followed by an even bigger day, so I didn't even 
get to (part of) the recordings until after 9pm local time.   At the 
moment, I'm rather hoping for a big wipeout tomorrow morning so that 
I can spend  more time with this morning's recording.  There's just 
so much theresit on a channel and listen to things mixing, 
fading, just generally going bananas...sounded like I'd canned some 
Grayland and brought it home.  I wonder what I missed under the 
dominant signals (because I mostly ignored them)?   If someone said 
India was on 1566 at one point, I wouldn't be surprised.


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


1116 China...don't know if  it was CNR5, no pips at 1500UT, three  
xxx renmin guangbo dientai...by man and woman, need to learn CC...
1557 Taiwan  vocal pop mx 1510UT, but other times also, matching the 
web stream in case anyone wondered

1566 HLAZ man in CC 1503 and 1510UT, and numerous other times.  Just immense.
1593 CNR1 somewhere, I verified this was //6175but just one 
example man in CC 1539UT



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


828 JOBB man in JJ 1503UT
1098, China? though not convinced it was CNR11, western style pop 
vocals  after CC talk 1522UT
1314 JOUF and DWXI...?  JJ talk 1519UT, but mixing w/choral mx  and 
male talk, could be Tagalog
1332 JOSF? pop mx 1519UT, at 1513UT there had been a woman talking in 
there as well, maybe CC
1422 JORF and CC? from 1504UT onward, a battle royal here, pop mx and 
CC talk, w/CC talk often dominating

1503 JOUK JJ talk at various times, and likely someone else there also.


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


747 JOIB man in JJ 1517UT
774 JOUB man in JJ //828 1505
909 CNR6 quiet mx at 1516UT //1089...
1143 woman in CC 1515UT, Taiwan?
1287 unk. China. woman CC talk by woman 1520UT and other times, often 
dominating JOHR
1287 JOHR man in JJ 1526UT sometimes ID'd //1269 as long as someone 
else wasn't dominant on either channel.

1593 NHK2 chimes u/CNR1 1543UT
1602 NHK2 chimes 1541UT


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 China?  woman talking CC inflection o/u soft mx
1089 CNR6 first noted 1508 w/jazzy piano, but ID'd at 1516UT w/ //909 
, both new for me.

1161 woman talking 1523UT CC inflection, plus mx, a mess...
1170 CNR1 last of CC pips, start of Beijing time check 1500UT, then 
back came KPUG from its break, but could sitll hear CNR1 interlude mx 
underneath
1179 CC pips 1500UT,  CC sounding talk by man 1514UT, often 
mixing  w/assumed JOOR, JJ sounding talk

1224 man talking 1508UT, not //594...
1242 low pitched jammer?? various times, but underneath at 1526UT, JJ 
sounding woman, but a man talking as well.  A mess.

1251 woman talking 1517UT, not //1593, but sounded CC?
1269 HBC 1539 man talking //1287, but often there were things here 
not //1287...
1359 CNR1 echoey CC talk by woman //1593  and 6175 at 1520UT, huge 
carriers, not much audio

1386 NHK2 //828 1507UT, but often someone else as well
1395 unID deep voiced man 1532UT
1476 NHK2 s/off chimes //1539 1541UT, but by 1543UT was woman talking
1494 3 and 1 pips at 1500UT, but quite low pitched, no idea
1539 NHK2 s/off chimes 1541UT
1575 VoA and AFN?   1530UT VoA fanfare, but rap mx usually dominant


Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter):
