[IRCA] TP for 15 Jan 2013; Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

For all the talk of conditions having deteriorated, this wasn't too bad a
morning for Asiatics, though the high band was weak.   Things were reasonably
lively around 1400UT, and didn't really fade too much for the next 100 minutes
or so.  Of course, preparing for the day took up some valuable DX time, but I
did manage to hear a few second tier stations that haven't been heard for awhile.



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

774 woman in JJ at 1534; my display software said this averaged pretty good
strength overnight, and finished off the last few bars of the s/off chimes with
good strength at 1545UT
972 HLCA woman in KK 1532UT
1566 HLAZ man in CC at 1539UT



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


747 JOIB language lessons at 1415UT //774;faded up to good signal at s/off also
828 JOBB woman talking at 1402UT //774; also pretty good signal at s/off 1540 to
1540UT





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

567 JOIB man talking in JJ at 1414UT, but not // with what was on 594 at the
time, so that remains a mystery
594 JOAB man in JJ 1403UT
945 man in CC //6125 1409UT




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) :


558 unID.  man talking, but not //603, so maybe JOCR, but too much splash to
tell language
585 JOPG weak JJ inflected talk, seemed //594 and 567 which were similarly weak,
at 1541UT
603 HLSA?   NHK style pips at 1500UT, but didn't seem //594
873 JOGB woman talking //747 at 1459UT; also noted s/off chimes 1543UT
891 JOHK man talking //594 at 1403UT
1017 JOLB s/off chimes 1542UT
1143 BEL3 man talking, quite murky, then instrumental mx.  Seemed //738 which
was very mangled by splatter.
1179 light vocal mx in splash at 1539UT, JOOR?





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

612 639 918 1035(rough carriers) 1044 1098 1161 1242 1287 1323





best wishes,

Nick
