[IRCA] TP Oct 9, 2012 / Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Things are still decidedly auroral, and  mostly New Zealand (I think, 
because IDs were hard to come by).   Quite a lot of thunderstorm QRN, 
but the worst of the local noise held off until 1421UT today.   The 
other unusual observation was the number of weak audios with big 
carriers.   I usually find 612, for example, to start to show audio 
even when the carrier is still fairly low level.  Today, it needed 
some considerable beef in the carrier before it was audible.


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

none



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

none


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

612 4QR woman talking //774 at 1416UT



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) :

531 slow vocal mx fighting with the local noise 1357UT and onward, no 
talk on the hour; 531 PI?
603 man talking 1409UT, likely Waatea, as had a vaguely Tagalog 
cadence to it; strong carrier, poor audio
702 man talking, very weak, various times, never able to nail down a parallel
738 sounded like DU EE by man 1411UT, but no parallel available 
(things were very erratic)
756 man talking 1408, no parallel available
774 3LO, //612 above 1416
882 woman talking at 1400, then bits of instrumental mx.   Southern Star?
909 laid back choral singing 1419UT; just about the time I brought up 
the Southern Star webstream, the nastier local noise kicked in at 
1421UT and pretty much killed it.




Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):

567 891 1098

best wishes,
