Back in the bucket. No idea when NHK2 signed off; it was that poor. Some of the Asian carriers showed hints of audio, but too close to wishful thinking to claim.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):
no
Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):
no
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:
and still no
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)
1017 island vocal music 1506UT, Tonga likely
1566 choral music 1546UT, likely HLAZ
1593 man talking, perhaps Chinese, had that assertive CNR1 approach 1535UT
Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
594 774 828 972 1242 seemed to be Asian;
738 792 891 1548 seemed to be DU
