[IRCA] TP 23 Mar Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Quite a change from yesterday, and for the most part, as Bruce 
observed, not much to show on the upper band, although 1323 was as 
readable as it's been this season I think. On the other hand, I don't 
recall 594 making much of a showing today.



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

747 JOIB Chinese lessons 1344UT
774 JOUB Chinese lessons 1341UT //828
828 JOBB as above 1341UT




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

567 JOIK man in Japanese //594 1402UT (594 was much weaker)
945 CNR1 man in Chinese //981, 1356UT, better on north Flag
963 CRI man in Russian //1323 1348UT
972 HLCA man in Korean 1408UT, and of course, pips at 1400UT, but 
1343UT was decidedly odd on this channel.   There seemed to be two 
stations, one with a woman in a harangue didn't quite seem right for 
this station unless she was calling in to give them a piece of her 
mind.  Then a man and a woman faded up, and by 1344UT were dominant, 
yet they sounded almost Chinese, like a play of some sort, yet by 
1348UT, they seemed to have become Korean.   (this was in weakly as 
late as 1505UT this morning)
1323 CRI woman in Russian 1340UT
1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1401UT


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

873 JOGB man in Japanee //747 at 1325UT
981 CNR1 man in Chinese, //6030 and 945; 945 was better than any SW 
parallel which were quite poor this morning
1053 Korean jammer 1345UT; ground to a halt at 1401UT
1287 JOHR man in Japanese, another man agreeing 1348UT



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)

738 man talking, French inflection 1401UT; pop music at 1330UT was 
somewhat stronger but no possibility of identification
819 N. Korea? man haranguing 1337UT, creeping past 820 splash
1044 CRI, ID'd at 1400UT with chimes and fanfare, but had been a 
couple of times in the previous 20 minutes
1116 man talking, Chinese intonation 1353UT
1143 woman talking, maybe Chinese 1318UT
1575 woman sounding SE Asian, after what sounded like VoA fanfare 1401UT

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

621 702 864 918 936 1017 1035 1089 1098 1296



best wishes,

Nick
