[IRCA] TP 3 Apr Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Better than yesterday for sure, though that was not a great starting point.   Its main point of interest was that a number of stations produced their best readability 30 to 70 minutes after local sunrise.


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


774 JOUB English lessons, briefly at this level 1250UT

828 JOBB English lessons 1254UT





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 in Japanese 1259UT, followed by pips, but often not very strong

693 JOAB lessons 1304UT

972 HLCA man in Korean 1447UT, best this managed, an hour after local sunrise

1566 HLAZ, although it reached this level at 1251UT during the Japanese program, its appearance at 1450UT with a man in Chinese at 1450UT, at a similar level, was more striking




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

567 JOIK man in Japanese //594 1310UT

747 JOIB  man  in Japanese 1443UT, no parallels at this late hour, though 774 did poke through from time to time

774 3LO woman talking DU English //612 1316UT; JOUB in a fade at this time

891 JOHK man in Japanese //567, 594 1332UT

1242 JOLF man in Japanese 1504UT, very late, but also its strongest signal today

1287 JOHR woman talking in Japanese (though maybe a regional dialect?), man agreeing 1435UT

1593 CNR1 man and woman talking 1252UT //981


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)

612 4QR woman talking //774 1315UT

873 JOGB man talking //774 1253UT

909 JOCB hints of audio //828, before pips at 1300UT

945 man talking Chinese intonation? 1431UT

954 pop music 1443UT,likely JOKR?

981 CNR1 man and woman talking //1593 1252UT

1188 JOKP woman talking //567 1311UT

1206 woman mumbling, off-channel carrier likely means Yanbian 1311UT

1323 woman talking, possibly Russian? 1317UT

1386 NHK2 talk and music //828 1254UT

1575 man talking SE Asian language ? 1413UT



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

  558 603 657 738 864   918  963  1053  1089 1098 1134  1143 1179 1251  1269 1278 1314 1332 1377 1422   1503  seemed to be Asian;
702  846 1017   seemed to be DU 



best wishes,

Nick
