[IRCA] TP 10 Dec Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

As Colin noted, the lower band collapsed around 1500UT, not really to be heard from again.   There was certainly more action in the hour previous to 1500UT, but the morning monitoring here is limited to sunrise effects.

There was in fact a "sunrise" (20 minutes early) peak particularly above 1550kHz, 15dB or so for HLAZ-1566, which took it from non-existent audio, to "barely there" audio.  



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

972 HLCA 1540UT, the exception to the general collapse of the mid to  lower band.  Takes a lot to hold this one down.





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

the above passing through




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

594 JOAK 1510UT

747 JOIB //828 1507UT

774 JOUB 1508UT; barely there audio during its sign off at 1540UT

945 CNR1 man in Chinese, much delayed from //6175, and barely holding its own with //1593; 1547UT; another mid bander that proved the exception, with this brief flurry of activity

1593 CNR1 man in Chinese peaking briefly 1534UT; weaker at 1547UT, when //945



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 JOIK //594 1510UT

828 JOBB //747 1507UT

1287 man and woman, Japanese intonation 1548UT

1566 woman talking, Chinese? choral music 1535UT, very erratic fading, and problems with domestic splatter.




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

 603 621 639 756 891 918 936 1143 1242 1323 1503  1557 1575 seemed to be Asian; 
576 1017 1098 seemed  to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick
