Oooog. Somebody short circuited the ionosphere.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):
pretty darn impossible
Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):
today, traces of audio would be considered reasonable perhaps, but there are standards to be maintained...
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:
774 JOUB pips on hour 1500UT, into man in Japanese, then faded into long lived obscurity. The sign off at 1540UT was barely heard
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)
828 JOBB sign off music box 1541UT
972 man talking to another man on phone, possibly/likely Korean 1546UT
Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
594 603 639 1566 1575 1593 seemed to be Asian;
612 1017 seemed to be DU
