It was an impressive morning for TPs, kind of like early autumn except
sunrise was later. The low-mid band was quite nice, with most of the
low band activity happening at about 1300. The extreme upper part of
the band was not very good but several signals were heard in the
1150-1350 range at sunrise. As Nick noted, the enhancement lasted a
while today with some stations hanging in until 1530.
Good - A native speaker would have understood most of at, at least for
brief periods
747 JOIB, weather report 1308
774 JOUB, man & woman with English lesson 1239
850 KICY, countryish song 1502, then detailed "sign on" announcement
by station manager followed by news
890 KBBI, marine weather by woman 1502, mixing with CJDC
972 HLCA, 1300 3+1 pips, fanfare, happy man & woman talking, quite
good at other times but best 1255-1324
1566 HLAZ, 1208-1345 Japanese program sometimes quite listenable,
other times fair-nil
Fair - A native speaker would have recognized words and phrases
693 JOAB, tail end of weather report, then local ID by woman 1320.
Then English lesson by enthusiastic man & woman
819 DPRK, 1243 female singer cutting through 820 splatter
828 JOBB, 1242 English lesson //774
936 CHINA, Chinese announcement 1240. I think I heard "Anhui"
mentioned a couple of times, but not 100% sure.
981 CNR1, man in Chinese 1527, otherwise poor-nil in CKNW splatter
1179 JOOR, 1459 Japanese woman in 1180 splatter
1287 JOHR Japanese discussion 1518
1314 JOUF cheerful Japanese woman and sedate man 1522
Poor - A native speaker would have understood none of it
864 3+1 pips weak 1300
945 Chinese talk, presumably CNR1 1238 in KJR splat
963 Talk 1338 getting beaten up quite badly by 960 splatter
1134 KBS time pips 1500, then male talk
1170 KBS, weak time pips 1200 1300 1400 1500 during ToH pause in KPUG
audio. The pips at 1300 were mixed with a second set, probably CNR
1323 Woman talking 1520, inflections consistent with Russian so
presumably CRI
1422 traces of talk faded up for about a minute 1220, otherwise nothing
1575 VOA, Asian talk 1424
Carriers - 567 603 675 738 756 873 891 927 954 1008 1017 1035 1044 1107
