and.....back in the bucket this morning...

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):

the above, passing through

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

not even this....

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 JOAK man mumbling after pips on the hour 1501UT

612 man talking, DU English intonation 1502UT

774 man talking, Japanese intonation 1524UT

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
747 873 972 1566 1593 1611 seemed to be Asian;
567 855 891 1017 seemed to be DU

best wishes,
