[IRCA] TP 2 May Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

More Asia again today, with a smattering of China and Taiwan perhaps, though mostly carriers.


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

not today



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

972 HLCA man in Korean 1209UT




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

774 JOUB English lessons 1210UT

1566 HLAZ woman in Japanese 1245UT, after everything else had gone.  Best strength for the Japanese program; mostly, not much better than the previous half hour of Chinese programming





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)  


567  RNZ National; man talking, DU English intonation 1231UT; ID'd //756 a few minutes later

576 man mumbling, perhaps DU English 1212UT

594 man talking, DU English intonation 1228UT

603 soft voiced woman 1233UT,   R. Waatea?

612 man talking, DU English intonation 1233UT

702  lively pop music, not //594 or 612; NZ?

756 RNZ National  woman DU English intonation 1234UT //567

747 JOIB English lessons //774 1210UT

828 JOBB English lessons //774 1219UT

891 man and woman talking 1231UT, DU English intonation, network news?  Nothing on half hour of course

945 woman talking, too much splatter, but maybe Chinese? 1214UT

1557 Taiwan? woman talking, Chinese intonation,  1224UT



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

 594 693 1035 1098 1206 1287 1323 1386 1503 seemed to be Asian;
  846  909 1017 1026  1098  seemed to be DU 



best wishes,

Nick
