[IRCA] TP 3 Mar, Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

An odd morning, in that there weren't many decent carriers, and the 
ones delivering audio were not the regulars for the most part.  You 
know things are strange when your best signals are from the Philippines.


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


not today



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

1215  DYRF?   woman singing slowly 1341UT, faded up to this level 
1346UT with woman talking insistently, sounded Tagalog to this 
untrained ear.  Sounded like a phone number given "858-9684" but 
can't get that to match up with anything.  Unfortunately I was still 
in bed when this was recording, but I can't find a webstream anyway.
 Per a priest's blog site, 
http://fielsvd.wordpress.com/2014/03/01/new-programs-at-dyrf-radio-fuerza-by-march-2014/...."We 
have just acquired a powerful 12 kilowatt Nautel digital 
transmitter.  With the advent of this top of the line transmitter, 
our  coverage has greatly amplified.  We have enveloped totally the 
whole Cebu province with our broadcast. To date we are 
also  constantly receiving text messages and calls from 
listeners  coming from various towns in Bohol, Ormoc, 
Leyte,  Negros  Oriental and Occidental, Surigao del Norte, Siquijor, 
Zamboanga del Norte, Agusan del Norte, etc.  And indeed we are 
excited even  as we celebrate  this latest development! "

Darn good transmitter, I'd say.   Guess I should send a report?



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

1314 DWXI  woman in Tagalog 1431UT, followed by man as it 
faded.  This was the only overseas audio on the band just then, 
tracking its webstream.



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) :

567 JOIK woman talking rapidly 1321UT //594
738 Tahiti?   woman talking then man, might have been FF 1230UT
1503 JOUK woman talking, then man //594 1345UT
1566 HLAZ? woman talking JJ inflection 1313UT
1593 CNR1? man and woman talking seemed //6175 1438UT, better on 
north Flag, even with 1600 splash

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

612 1296 1377 1422 1512 1575




best wishes,

Nick
