[IRCA] 16 Nov Victoria version.
This morning definitely showed more action. Even though Bill Whitacre's reception of HLCA-972 on the east coast was so good, it was actually received even better on the west coast today. And, about time too. Plus, some Chinese stations appeared again.
On top of that, three stations hung in there until nearly 1700UT (well, at least faded up from time to time): 972, 1242 and 1566. The latter was at its best strength for at least a couple of hours at 1650UT
For all that, signals were pretty erratic around local sunrise (1523UT); it was challenging to hit the peaks. Lots of carriers with audio traces also.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):
594 JOAK 1511UT
972 HLCA some sort of play? very emotional Korean speech, with perhaps a murder taking place, judging by the anguished sounds, 1535UT. This was still able to deliver quite a readable signal at 1654UT, with a man in Korean.
1566 HLAZ man in Russian peaking at 1650UT, -70dBm, its strongest in at least a couple of hours. This was still delivering occasional audio after 1700UT, when a "welcome to the Voice of America" was heard, starting the Korean broadcast at that time. This was bothered with Chinese interference earlier, with at least two sets of Chinese pips heard at 1500UT.
Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):
747 JOIB 1446UT
774 JOUB 1445UT
828 JOBB 1501UT
873 JOGB 1445UT (all ID'd with parallels)
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:
612 4QR man in DU English 1507UT
693 JOAB woman talking and flute music //774 1440UT
945 CNR1 man in Chinese //639 1442UT
954 JOKR man in Jpanese 1513UT
1242 JOLF woman on phone in Japanese 1533UT; still delivering weak audio from time to time between 1630 and 1655UT
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)
603 soft music, possibly HLSA 1441UT
729 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1443UT; no 594 available for parallel
837 JOQK man //594 1453UT
1287 pop music 1443UT JOHR?
1377 CNR1 man talking //1593 1520UT; both were weak, but the parallel was obvious with one signal in one ear, one in the other.
1503 JOUK NHK1 interval music 1511UT
1593 CNR1 man talking //1377 1520UT
Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
558 567 585 621 666 702 711 738 756 845 855 864 891 918 936 981 1116 1134 1188 1251 1296 1332 1341 1359 1386 1422 1458 1485 1494 1557 1575 seemed to be Asian;
702 seemed to be DU
best wishes,
