[IRCA] TP 21 Dec, Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Certainly, a livelier morning than of late, particularly earlier on, 
when a number of old friends turned up.   But it was odd in that the 
stations that delivered audio from time to time were also the only 
ones that really had worthwhile carriers; much of the rest of the 
band was pretty dead.

Then there was the gap in propagation that Gary mentioned, from about 
1430UT onwards, but here it lasted until about 1540UT, and 1550UT was 
about the peak with some unusual appearances of Chinese and ??

Overall, a variable morning, with some nuggets.




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

774 JOUB man in JJ 1405UT, but this seemed to disappear after 1500UT, 
with 828 being the stronger through s/off at 1540-5 UT
1557 presumed Taiwan w/woman singing ballad in CC, strongest at 
1549UT, 3 and one pips at 1600UT, but somewhat weaker by then.
1566 HLAZ 1539UT man in CC through past 1600UT, but strongest 1545-1555UT
1575 VoA woman in SE Asian language 1553UT, and pretty good at 1600UT 
with Voice of America ID in EE.




Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/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 woman in JJ briefly at this level 1532UT
747 JOIB weather report by man //774 1301UT
828 JOBB man in JJ 1516UT, on and off at this strength through music 
box s/off at 1540UT
972 HLCA man in KK 1522UT
1053 KK jammer 1400UT
1422 unID  women in CC 1550UT
1593 CNR1 man in CC //6125 at 1543UT, but by 1550UT, there seemed to 
be two stations, one with woman in CC and the other slow instrumental mx.

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) :

873 JOGB man in JJ //774 1412UT
1377 CNR1 woman in CC //1593, briefly, at 1547UT
1395 unID. man talking,  sounded vaguely CC, someone else on phone? 1553UT
1494 unID man talking, didn't seem //1287

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

567 864 891 1017 1044 1134 12871323 1332 1404


best wishes,

Nick
