[IRCA] TP 5 Mar Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

An odd and somewhat frustrating morning.   The Japanese were mostly down considerably, and though there were plenty of indications of Chinese, for the most part, they weren't all that strong.   Mind you, there were huge carriers on 891 and 918, the former delivering no audio at all, and the latter quite weak audio from Shandong.    And there were even a couple of DUs.


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


594 JOAK man in Japanese  1421UT







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


558 HLQB ballad //603 (which was really struggling) 1420UT.  This one generally outperformed 603 this morning
738 Taiwan Fisheries, woman in Chinese 1422UT; paralleled with 1143 a couple of times, though not when this strong
747 JOIB English lessons 1423UT
774 JOUB intro to English lessons 1420UT
963 CRI man in Russian 1429UT; had paralleled with 1323 earlier when weaker 




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


693 JOAB English lessons 1430UT
918 Shandong RGD man in Chinese 1431UT, a short while later it was weaker with flute music, though carrier was still very strong, and was able to parallel with web stream which followed quite closely
1575 VoA assumed, woman in SE Asian language 1435UT



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)

531 man talking, DU English intonation 1427UT
567 JOIK man talking //594 1424UT
585 man talking, not //594, sounded like DU English intonation 1432UT 
603 HLSA ballad //558 1420UT, mostly under Chinese? speaker
603 China? man talking, Chinese intonation 1425UT, easing in and out of HLSA
612 man talking, DU English intonation 1442UT
639 CNR1 man talking 1430UT, //945 1432UT
675 pop music, man talking, DU English? 1426UT; no RNZ National parallels available
945 CNR1 a few seconds of talk somewhat offset from 639 1432UT
972 two stations here, one sounded like man speaking Chinese, then woman, 1427UT
1143 Taiwan Fisheries woman in Chinese //738 1427UT
1323 CRI man talking Russian? //963 1415UT


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

 657 729 756 801 837 936 981 1008 1035  1053 1089 1107 1134   1251   1314     seemed to be Asian;
576  621   846 1017 1098 seemed to be DU 



best wishes,

Nick
