NHK2 again off at 1440UT, and generally not a great morning, with no sunrise lift, and most signals being better about an hour before sunrise
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):
nada,
Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):
594 JOAK 1547UT
774 JOUB 1441UT s/offf
828 JOBB s/off 1440UT
972 HLCA pop music 1508UT, fading to man in apparent Korean at 1510UT
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:
666 JOBK 1528UT //594
693 JOAB 1440UT s/off
747 JOIB s/off 1443UT
837 man in Chinese 1513UT
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 man and woman nattering at high speed, sounded Japanese 1514UT
594 3WV //612 u/JOAK 1542UT
612 4QR man to another man on phone DU English intonation, //594

954 man talking Japanese intonation 1549UT
1566 piano, woman in possible Chinese 1602UT and 1619UT
Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
567 603 702 711 864 873 918 981 1053 1134 1242 1422 1494 1557 seemed to be Asian;
