[IRCA] TP 29 Jan Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Lots of splash, lots of carriers, a number of those with whispers of 
audio.  There were lots of rapid fades, so likely missed  some 
peaks.   NHK2 off at 1500UT again, though a number of carriers left 
on.  Several Japanese commercial stations made an appearance, with 
1422 leading the pack, but struggling with the aforementioned splash 
just the same.




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

972 HLCA woman in Korean fading up rapidly after weak pips on the 
hour.  Similar strength with woman and man in Korean 1552UT
1566 HLAZ peaking at various times between 1545 and 1610UT, Chinese 
talk, quite a number of ballads with both male and female voices



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 talking to woman on phone, 1514UT
774 JOUB man in Portuguese 1452UT
1422 JORF assumed woman in Japanese 1528UT, better on north Flag, but 
still lots of 1420 splash; this was quite strong for much of the 
morning, not a usual visitor
1593 CNR1 man in Chinese 1526UT; ID'd  slightly later after fading 
somewhat man in Chinese //6125 1534UT



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

693 JOAB music box s/off 1502UT; heard "ni hoso desu" at 1500UT but 
CBU splash obliterated the call ID if there was one
828 JOBB music //774 1457UT
873 JOGB garbled call ID by man JO..B, then NHK mention 1500UT
1242 JOLF rock music 1453UT, cuckoo pips noted 1500UT



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 as 603, only poking above the splatter for a short time
567 JOIK woman talking 1444UT //594
603 HLSA quiet music, deep voiced man 1543UT //558
738 woman talking DU English intonation? 1511UT
1134 man and woman Japanese intonation;1451UT man talking 1537UT 
sounded more Korean; both together at 1524UT
1143 female ballad 1531-2UT
1314 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1502UT
1332 man talking, Japanese intonation 1530UT
1503 JOUK woman on phone //594 1515UT
1557 man talking; Chinese?  1536UT



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

 837 891 936  954  1053 1098 1107  1179 1206 1269 1287  1323 1386 
1404  1431  1458 1539 1575  1584 seemed to be Asian;
792 846 1017 1116 seemed to be DU



best wishes,

Nick
