[IRCA] TP 31 Mar Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Quite a bit of Chinese zip this morning, though not much evidence from Taiwan.  Main point to note was that a number of stations still had some remaining strength as late as 1500UT, approximately an hour after local sunrise here.



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


594 JOAK  various times, though various other times, hardly at all

774 JOUB "Easy Travel Japanese", so, effectively Japanese lessons for English speakers, though some of the grammatical points I'm not sure I would describe as easy. 1254UT... (I suspect Japanese teachers and students may have some fairly high standards; still remember a Japanese homestay student leaving me in the dust with some of her questions about English grammar.)

828 JOBB "Easy Travel Japanese" 1251UT.  Has NHK2 has been reading all these IRCA reports, and decided that there is a market among their west coast North American listeners?

972 HLCA emotional oriental vocal  1337UT

1566 HLAZ  woman in Japanese 1336UT










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

567 JOIK man in Japanese 1314UT; 594 in the weeds just now

603 HLSA androgynous ballad 1330UT //558

747 JOIB man in Japanese 1250UT

693 JOAB end of Easy Travel Japanese, then Jpanese pop //828,1256UT

945 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1348-50UT, although this was paralleled with other MW CNR1, and to the CNR1 webstream, the normal shortwave parallels 6030 6125 7305 and 7365 seemed to carrying a different program

1323 CRI man and woman  in Russian 1319UT

1566 HLAZ woman in Japanese 1338UT












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

873 JOGB English lessons 1309UT

981 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1341UT

1242 JOLF two men in Japanese 1247UT; similar strength with pop music 1512UT

1287 JOHR two men in Japanese 1510UT then into pop music, pretty much this one's best signal today







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  //603; female ballad 1321UT

711 woman talking, perhaps Korean, perhaps someone else there also?

837 JOQK woman talking Chinese intonation 1314UT

945 NHK1 ballad //594, 1455UT, mostly Chinese before this however

1098 CNR1 1503UT, man in Chinese, CNR1 news sounder etc. 1503UT; at 1504UT //945

1116 Chinese pips 1500UT, not too much else

1206 woman mumbling 1255UT; strong off-channel carrier, so likely Yanbian

1224 rhythmic instrumental music for a minute or so 1444UT, didn't seem //NHK1

1251 CNR1 pips 1300UT, sounded like Beijing time check, CNR1 news sounders

1422 woman talking, Japanese intonation  1328UT JORF likely?






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

 585 621 819 855  864  891 909 918 1008 1017 1035  1053  1089   1179 1278  1359  1593 seemed to be Asian;
585 621 702 756  846 1017 1116    seemed to be DU 



best wishes,

Nick
