Dead dead dead.And then the DX season started up again just after 1500UT with jazzy vocals on 1557, culminating in a nice sunrise enhancement around 1540-1550UT, with several Chinese sounding stations, and quite a few carriers, almost all upper band, and very erratic. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ peaking 1545UT with woman in Chinese. Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): the above passing through not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1593 CNR1 heard the short and long pip at 1530UT, faded up to man in Chinese 1543UT, too bassy to get much intelligence even if I spoke Chinese 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) 1098 woman talking 1547UT, Chinese? 1242 man talking 1541UT; mixing with woman talking, two stations? at 1551UT, maybe a Chinese inflection in there somewhere, but just a mess 1314 woman talking, insistence as if Chinese but very weak; maybe music in there too 1544UT 1395 man talking, maybe Chinese? 1542UT 1422 woman talking 1532UT, Chinese inflection? 1503 woman talking, quick insistence didn't sound Japanese 1548UT, very similar to 1098, and could have fooled myself that they were in parallel, but not listed that way in any reference (thinking of RTI) 1557 likely Taiwan, jazzy female vocals 1501UT, also pop 1516UT; wasn't noted much during sunrise enhancement Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 594 1134 1179 1314 1332 1359 1386 1404 1494 1575 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

And, a complete change of scene this morning. A strong tentative Radio Sport-1503, and a few carriers, likely NZ also? pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not this year, not yet Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): we know it's possible, just not today. not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: the above, passing through 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) 1503 R. Sport likely, vigorous male commentary, accented EE sound to it, 1516-31UT, but couldn't really line anything up with the very similar commentary on the Radio Sport archive at this time (Monday 0315-45, but no date) Strongish het, no or near imaginary audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 1278 1386 1476 1557 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

A few interesting things this morning, but almost all due to extreme minimalist DXing on the recording. Overall, not as good as yesterday morning, especially in the 1300 to 1430UT slot.. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ man in CC 1549UT 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 and woman in KK at 1538UT, still pretty fair at 1603UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 828 JOBB man in JJ //774 1536UT 1287 JOHR man in rapid fire JJ 1536UT 1575 VoA man in SE Asian language 1543UT 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) : 567 JOIK? man talking, seemed likely JJ 1259UT, pips on the hour 891 NHK style pips finishing a couple of seconds before 1600UT, which is not very NHK, but man mumbling gave no clues. 1017 JOLB man talking slowly seemed //774 at 1531UT, both quite weak 1116 man talking, DU EE inflection 1355UT Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 594 603 747 756 873 981 1098 1476 1503 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
