Two steps back, one step forward...?
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):
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 man in Japanese 1456UT
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)
594 3WV ABC fanfare after NHK pips 1500UT
612 4QR various DU styled mumblings, but definite fanfare at 1500UT
1017 island vocals 1443UT; Tonga assumed
1593 woman talking, Chinese intonation; no parallels available 1533UT
Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
567 585 603 747 774 828 972 1377 1557 1566 1575 seemed to be Asian;
603 702 seemed to be DU
