I was out of town for a day and left the SDR to do the listening. It did rather a good job; I wish I'd been there to help it along with parallels and such.
It wasn't so much that there were east Asians hammering in, it was the over the pole evidence. Unless the three ascending chimes are used on the half hour by someone other than Iran on 1098, then....Iran was coming in on 1098, half an hour before my local sunrise. And who might Indian influenced pop music on 1539 be? And that Iranian jammer on 1575 was just thundering at times. Files will probably be worth a second listen
Oddly, NHK2 signed off at 1440UT today, leaving carriers on.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):
not quite, though the jammer on 1575 came close at times
Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):
594 JOAK 1530UT
639 CNR1 assumed, two men in Chinese 1516UT, but no parallels
972 HLCA 1519UT
1539 Asianet? Indian influenced pop music 1518UT and at various times later; good at 1547UT with man in unID language; Malayalam?
1575 Iran jammer, first heard 1443:30UT, sudden appearance quite strong, so, early and often , as heard until after 1600UT
1575 VoA woman in SE Asian language, Burmese listed, 1553UT; had heard weaker VoA ID at 1530UT; also noted strong quite good at 1601UT, but nothing on the hour
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:
567 JOIK //594 1554UT
1098 Iran. piano music, man talking slowly, 3 ascending chimes typical for Iran, 1530UT; completely unexpected, to say the least.
1566 HLAZ? choral music 1555UT
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)
576 vaguely oriental sounding vocal music 1521UT
702 portentous music 1522UT made me think North Korea, but woman talking 1523 and 1526UT sounded too laid back. No idea?
837 man talking; Tagalog? Again, no clue at this point
855 orchestral music, 1529UT N. Korea?
936 man talking, didn't sound Chinese though; 1544UT
1287 man talking, Japanese intonation, pip on hour, 1600UT
1323 woman talking, Russian intonation
Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
603 621 675 747 756 774 819 828 846 864 891 909 918 945 1026 1107 1116 1215 1332 1422 1458 seemed to be Asian;
nothing much seemed to be DU
