I caught 972 KHz at 1515 UTC and it was not alone— something co-channel... video taped it but haven’t replayed the file. 639 China felt better today than yesterday - if only briefly.

Not quite so good as yesterday, so definitely not as good as two days ago. These mornings, the "sunrise" peak seems to be around 1540UT, about 20 minutes before actual sunrise. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK 1538UT 747 JOIB 1544UT 774 JOUB 1529UT 972 HLSA 1539UT; quite a nice secondary peak at 1711UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): 567 JOIK //594 1547UT 639 CNR1 //945 1535UT 657 N.

The signal strength monitor said that the Asians were jumping prior to about 1300UT.

There was some Asiatic activity in the lower band around 1400UT, and HLAZ did pop up both towards the end of the Japanese program, and for the occasional fade up during the Chinese program even before 1500UT pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nope Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): nope not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1566 HLAZ likely 1444UT, woman in Chinese.

Although there were a number of carriers at various times, the only real DX was sunrise enhancement, and one needed to watch it carefully, it jumps up very quickly, and disappears pretty soon too. Mostly a disappointing morning though 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 w/splash or noise): no, though 774 was close not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 774 JOUB literally popped up at 1542UT with s/off chimes, lasted about two minutes, then gone again 1566 HLAZ this was noticed a couple of times during the Japanese program (1259, 1320UT), but the interesting arrival was another quick one at 1558UT w/ man in Chinese, erratic signal as usual 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) 1116 likely 4BC, some (not all) pips at 1400UT, followed by man in what could have been DU English Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 594 828 891 972 1053 1242 1593 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

Again, pretty dead from 1400UT on, again, a little snippet of 774. And, again, about 10 minutes of high band activity a little before local sunrise at 1600UT. This time, I realized that the signals were better on the north Flag, seconds before the chimes ended on NHK2 1386. Sunrise enhancement not quite as "good" as yesterday overall however. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): maybe not until next year (season?)...put perhaps I'll be proven wrong Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): the above, again. not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1386 NHK2 synchros. Last few notes of chimes 1544UT, as I switched to the north Flag; good carrier afterwards 1566 HLAZ man in CC 1546UT 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 JOUB woman talking 1452UT, JJ inflection?
