An odd morning today, totally Asian despite the geomagnetic rumblings, and completely dead on the upper band.

Another sleeper of a morning, with a mix of Asians and Aussies, but none too apparent at a first listen. Start digging in the period between about 1430 and 1445UT and you'd be lost however, as fades were quite erratic, and something inaudible would become quite audible, then gone again. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1437UT 774 JOUB English lessons 1434UT Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 567 JOIK man in Japanese //594 1444UT 612 4QR man in DU English on phone 1434UT 702 2BL man in DU English 1443UT, various parallels at various times 747 JOIB English lessons 1439UT 828 JOBB man in Portuguese 1444UT 891 JOHK peaking 1447UT light jazz //594 which was weaker just then not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 558 HLQB soft music 1430-2UT //603 which was very weak 693 JOAB woman talking //828 1438UT 774 3LO rock music //612 1439UT, briefly over a faded down JOUB 1143 woman in Chinese 1439UT, likely Taiwan 1242 pop music 1437UT, JOLF? 1422 likely JORF with pop music 1442UT, best on north Flag 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1439UT 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) 576 man talking, DU English intonation 1434UT 594 3WV man talking //612 far underneath JOAK 603 HLSA woman talking //558 1439UT 684 2KP pop music //612 1438UT, a bit of a catch... 738 2NR man talking //702 1431UT 765 woman talking 1434UT; 603 was a low grade mess at this time, so no possible parallel, possibly NZ 954 man talking, Japanese intonation 1436UT 972 man and woman talking 1453UT, possibly Korean? 1017 island vocals 1445UT, likely Tonga Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 936 1575 1584 1593seemed to be Asian; 585 657 675 756 792 846 1008 1098 seemed to be DU best wishes, Nick Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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

All over the map this morning. If I'd chosen a channel between 1430UT and 1500UT, something might have popped up at some point if I'd listened for the whole time to just that channel . Mostly really erratic, and a strong Phillippine/Indonesia-1377 leaning, but China, Australia, Japan, Korea, maybe New Zealand earlier, all seemed to be around A pity that none near the coast seem to have heard anything after yesterday's alert. And, congratulations on Indonesia, Nigel; good to see shared information leads to such worthwhile returns. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1377 RRI Toli Toli. In and out 1426-1505UT, peaking at this level, would have been perfectly readable for much of the time if not for 1380 splash. Checked a couple of times vs. webstream, then became second nature, hi. 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1443UT, had to be part of the festivities Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK man in Japanese 1259UT, pips; also good around 1445UT 774 JOUB man in Japanese 1259UT, pips 1026 slow music 1429UT; man at 1430UT sounded Tagalog; got to get some webstreams straight...when there's time, hi 1215 Philippines???judging by other DX channels; slow vocal music 1439UT 1512 DYAB? slow male and female vocals 1443UT, think I heard some Tagalog somewhere, but it was all pretty confusing not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 972 HLCA man in Korean 1318UT 1548 4QD man in DU English 1452UT, seemed //612 which was much weaker 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) 558 man and woman talking 1445UT, not //603 567 JOIK man talking //594 1446UT 603 soft music 1445UT 828 JOBB man in Japanese //774 129UT 981 oriental sounding singing and accompaniment 1307UT China? 1008 woman talking, could have been Tagalog 1436UT 1314 woman talking 1444UT 1422 big carrier man talking 1442UT 1574 light singing by woman 1522UT, long after everything else was gone Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 531 891 1188 1242 1386 1404 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

Not sleeping, just dead? My newly discovered Filipino web streams will have to wait for another day; one of them at least lets you watch murky video from the announcers, a couple of newsreaders hamming it up a bit, so the morning had at least some entertainment value. Sunrise enhancement seemed all that there was from 1230UT onwards, starting about 1420UT at the top end of the band. Unfortunately, my actual signal recording (as opposed to signal strength recording) failed, and I started it up again at 1430UT, to catch the end of it. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not even remotely today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): even this was too much to ask for not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1575 VoA likely, woman in SE Asian language 1436UT, best on west Flag 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) : 1566 HLAZ assumed, woman talking 1437UT, but too murky for even a guess at language Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 738 1377 1422 1503 1512 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

Something of a sunrise enhancement while listening at the UVic parking lot on the Honda Civic radio -- Loud hets on 738, 747, 828, 891, 972, 1008, 1098, etc Likely yielding audio on any radio that could tune the splits -- unlike the Honda Civic radio! Makes me wonder if the 2012 Honda Civic radio can be set to the 9Khz plan. == Colin Newell - Victoria B.C.
