[IRCA] TP 3 Feb Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

What is this K-index of 5 of which you speak?   Well, it certainly 
sat on the band until, oh, about 1506UT, when traces of talk appeared 
amid the splash on 1422, then 1566 and 1593 chimed in, and then, and 
then...I think it would have been a good morning on the coast, though 
not much from most of the big guns.   Even at home, some channels had 
two stations on them, and others, admittedly with some digging of 
parallels, would have been a nice surprise in the fall, let alone 
beginning of February.  Then at 1530ish, it fell off the cliff.



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

1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1525UT



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 parallel to 1503 at 1524UT
1503 JOUK unaccompanied flute music, then unaccompanied female vocal, 
nice oriental sound //594 1524UT
1593 CNR1 man  in Chinese //6125, but slightly offset 1526-7UT, mixing with:
1593 NHK2 man and woman talking //1386



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 music and man talking 1517UT, but also woman talking,  Japanese 
inflection, likely Korea and Japan mixing?
774 JOUB man and woman talking //1386 1521-2UT
972 woman talking, maybe Korean? 1520UT
1098 man mumbling 1319UT
1242 man talking quickly 1518UT, but someone else there also?
1296 JOTK possible.   woman talking 1512UT, sounded like the woman on 
594, but getting them to fade up at the same time didn't seem to happen
1314 man talking excitedly, too low level in splash to guess 
origin,  almost like preaching, so maybe not Japan?  1514UT
1359 CNR1 near imaginary, but man talking, //1593,  and not //1386 1526UT
1386 NHK2 man and woman talking //774 1521-2UT
1422 woman and man talking, Japanese inflection? 1523UT
1539 NHK2 man and woman talking //1386 1528UT; maximum power on this 
channel is 100 watts, but quite a few of them


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

1044 1116 1278  1332 1494



best wishes,

Nick
