It certainly wasn't a re-run of yesterday morning here, but it looked like it might be before 1330UT, with good strengths from the bigger guns, but things seemed to fade somewhat continuously from that point; unfortunately I started listening more seriously after 1400UT, and things generally got weaker from there. As Colin mentioned, 594 was probably the best and most consistent TP during the run down to sunrise. What was mostly missing was the second tier Japanese, but three Chinese made a reappearance.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK various peaks from 1400UT to 1530UT reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 774 woman talking //828 1409UT; a few times later as well (including s/off at 1542UT), but 828 was more consistent today 828 JOBB woman talking at 1406UT; EE lessons at 1531UT //774; also pretty good signal at s/off 1540 to 1545UT 972 HLCA man in KK 1412UT not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 1566 HLAZ woman in CC 1545UT 1593 CNR1 man talking //6125 at 1541UT, so a small sunrise lift on the upper band; my local noise had kicked in by 1530UT so not much chance of hearing things on the lower band by now anyway. 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 in JJ //594 1410UT 639 CNR1 man in CC //6125 1414UT; also at 1538UT when practically nothing else was in audio 747 JOIB various times //828 1017 CRI man talking //5965 1416UT 1287 JOHR? man talking 1544UT 1503 man talking 1542UT, possibly JOUK, but no 594 // available 1575 VoA? woman talking deep in the murk, said murk being caused by a multitude of carriers 1536UT Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 891 1458 1467 best wishes, Nick ----------- Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC _______________________________________________ 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
