[IRCA] TP 26 Sep Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Except for an appearance from 4QR-612, it was again an Asian morning, 
though lacking in Chinese.  Wonder what it would take in 
geomagneticism to shut down Japan this month?

Listening from about 1340 to just after 1400UT would have gotten the 
bulk of the DX, as (pre)sunrise enhancement was, well, 
enhanced.  Might have been fun on the coast, scooping up the Japanese 
commercial stations, as there were one or two here.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


594 JOAK man in Japanese striking macho poses, woman laughing  (a 
drama? the story of life?) 1211UT;
747 JOIB Chinese lessons, really benefiting from the enhancement and 
domestic fade out 1350UT
774 JOUB woman and man in Japanese 1306UT, but quite variable
828 JOBB as 774, and even better strength
1053 jammer.  1219UT and other times, never heard anything else even 
when it faded down, even during the enhancement, even when it signed 
off at 1400UT.   Would have thought the Japanese would have a chance today.




Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


612 4QR assumed with men in DU English 1320UT, only Aussie noted, and 
didn't benefit from enhancement
693 JOAB without CBU this would have been perfectly readable "NHK 
Radyo..." mention by woman 1159UT, and stronger than 774 at this 
point.  Indeed, at 1324UT, it was the strongest of all the NHK2 
stations, all of whom seemed to be having a rest at this time.
891 JOHK man in Japanese //594 1356UT
954 JOKR man in Japanese 1403UT, though mostly MIA earlier
1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1353UT
1566 HLAZ  woman shutting down the Japanese service 1342UT, not much 
strength to it earlier



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:

603 HLSA soft female vocal 1349UT //558
666 JOBK man in Japanese //594, peaking 1349UT
873 JOGB woman in Japanese //828 1313UT
918 JOER slow pop vocal 1353-4UT //1242, slightly offset
1008 JOAR? Japanese pop 1353UT, not parallel with 918/1242, though 
listed as All Night Nippon at this time



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 HLQH soft vocal 1348UT //603 which became stronger over the next minute
567 JOIK man talking //594 1336UT
738 // 1143 Taiwan Fisheries laid back vocal music 1351UT
837 JOQK man talking //594 1306UT
846 NHK1 synchros woman and man talking //594 1304UT
909 NHK2 Chinese lessons 1353UT //774
936 JOTR/JONF  slow pop vocal //918 1353UT.  JONF is quite far south, 
but on the Pacific coast, so maybe more likely?
1017 JOLB  extreme minimalist, but was able to pick out oriental 
violin leading to Chinese lessons theme music 1352UT //774
1242 JOLF slow vocal music //918 and 936 1353UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter) lots of near audio here

711 756 819 855 864 1179 1314 1377




best wishes,

Nick
