Re: [IRCA] TP 4 Nov, Victoria version



Glad you liked the recording Gary. I'd never heard those syncopated pips before either, so I thought worthy of posting. Along with JOLF's "cuckoo" pips, perhaps an album of "Greatest Pips" is in the making, hi.

best wishes,

Nick

Nick,

Thanks for posting the fine recording of 603-HLSA's 3 + 1 pips TOH routine from 1500 yesterday morning.

Apparently the KBS2 1500 TOH routine is different than the 1400 TOH routine, which doesn't have the long gap between the three short and one long pip. This 1400 TOH recording was made on 603-HLSA at 1400 on October 6, which simply has the ID, no-gap time pips and some music immediately afterward. Apparently KBS figures that local midnight in Korea (UTC + 9) is more deserving of special time pips, as contained in your 1500 TOH recording :-)

Also, 648-VOR was received here with a fair signal yesterday morning, but with some noise on the frequency (as is usual here, on 648). It's tough to make any definite language identification, but after listening to the recording a few more times, it does seem more likely to be heavily accented English than Korean.

This wasn't as deep a morning as yesterday, some Chinese, but
certainly not those that hadn't been heard before, and the upper band
was dead.  As Gary mentioned 603 was the star....loudest just before
1500UT, but still plenty left for a lovely round of KBS IDs  and a
jingle (never heard those before), and NHK style pips, except there
was a pause between the three short, then the long that was quite
catchy, if you're a connoisseur of time pips:
http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/KBS603_20131105_1500.wav

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

279 R. Rossii 1300UT 6 pips on hour, R. Rossii ID by man, then woman
in RR.  Appeared to sign off at 1500: R. Rossii mention by woman just
before the hour, fairly weak, then silence, no pips, and carrier cut at 1500:20
603 HLSA man in KK 1448UT; slightly less strength but very readable
at 1500UT (see above)
774 JOUB 1401UT man in JJ
828 JOBB man in JJ 1301UT, wx report
972 HLCA man in KK 1440UT


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

567 JOIK wan and woman in JJ 1424UT; 594 didn' get to this level
639 CNR1 man in CC 1415UT
747 JOIB plucked string mx, man in JJ //774 1401UT

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


945 CNR1 man and woman in CC //6030 1517UT; need a new parallel,
dominant here was EE comedy???
1566 HLAZ man in JJ 1301UT

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) :


153 R. Rossii 1300UT pips, and man and woman talking //279
558 HLQH quiet ballad 1429UT, //603
648 VoR likely woman talking, then man, um...DU EE sounding?  VoR
supposed to be EE at this time per one source:
http://www.shortwaveschedule.com/index.php?station=9, but hiring
Aussies just isn't fair.
666 JOBK man in JJ //567 1301UT
702 NHK2 man in JJ, then woman //774 1453UT
738 Tahiti? man talking, FF inflection 1409UT
756 mess of pips 1400UT; huge carrier, not much modulation.  At
1415UT, managed //639 for CNR1
819 female operatic singing likely N. Korea, 1406UT
864 spirited talk, too weak to tell language 1417UT; this is another
undermodulated one
873 man in JJ //774 1416UT
891 JOHK?  man talking JJ inflection, 1429UT, no paralle available...
1017 CRI chimes and fanfare 1400UT
1566 HLAZ? man talking excitedly 1456UT, woman, CC inflection?


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

621 big; seriously undermodulated, 837, 855 rough hum, 918 981


best wishes,

Nick
