A very dull morning, hints of DU in the lower band, hints of Asia in the upper band.

Definitely a bit more action today, pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ choir singing, then man leading prayers 1332UT; best on North Flag Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 738 Tahiti vocal pop music en francais 1313-16UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1287 JOHR? two women talking, Japanese inflection, then into pop music and it faded up to this level 1154UT 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 talking 1323UT; weak considering carrier strength 747 woman and man talking, Japanese inflection 1226UT 1053 Korean jammer 1243UT 1206 Yanbian judging by the off channel carrier; woman talking, very bassy so not much readability. The only other overseas audio on the band at this time was on 738, so Yanbian would be an odd visitor. 1377 vocal music and man talking, best on north Flag 1327UT.

Actually a fairly lively morning right from 1130UT, though nothing too astonishing that was identifiable. A couple of tentative DUs turned up, and a mystery carrier on 908.984 kHz, quite strong at times, no audio, fading up and down, but still there at 1400UT, and a few seconds later disappeared. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): Not quite, though HLAZ and HLCA came close Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 774 JOUB EE lessons 1322UT 972 HLCA man and woman in KK 1246UT 1566 HLAZ man in JJ 1245UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 828 JOBB man in JJ 1242UT 891 JOHK.

Still mostly Asiatic, Japanese mostly, though a couple of DUs observed, earlier rather than later. Tuned in at 1319UT (though was recording from 1300UT), and moments later 774 delivered a nice JOUB NHK...dai-ni hoso ID by a man at good level. Nothing earth shattering heard (hmm, 1188 isn't common I guess), though an intriguing jammer (I think) on 1323kHz at around 1320UT, and some reasonable signal strengths at times. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB at various times in addition to the ID noted above 1566 HLAZ woman in JJ 1340UT, FEBC mention 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 JJ 1323UT and 1338UT among others 828 JOBB EE lessons 1321UT 972 HLCA man and man in KK 1321UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 702 2BL. Forced hilarity, and a couple of EE words made me think NHK2 EE lessons, but not //. Listened to recording, and ABC mention at 1300UT, with six pips and nx fanfare. 891 JOHK man in JJ //594 1323UT, 1344UT alsopretty much last man standing at this time 1053 KK jammer 1324 1287 JOHR man in JJ 1322, 1331 UT 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 2RN man talking slowly //846 1313UT 738 Tahiti, man and woman talking, FF inflection 1324UT 747 JOIB man and woman talking //774 846 2RN man talking slowly //576 at 1313UT 873 JOGB weather reports //774 1310UT 954 JOKR? man talking JJ inflection 1345UT 1188 JOKP woman in JJ //594 at 1335UT; nice surprise 1242 JOLF? woman talking JJ inflection, 1322UT 1323 unID weak talk, still a slightly FF flavor 1319UT; interesting was the burbling noise that faded up and obliterated it, then faded down again after 1321UT. If local interference, was specific to this channel, and with the fade, I'm guessing a jammer?
