A morning much like yesterday, right down to NHK2 signing off at 1440UT, but even there, JOUB was barely audible for part of the music box, and signals overall were a bit weaker also.

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):

indeed not

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 man talking, Japanese intonation 1522UT,pretty much only appearance

1017 island vocal 1517UT, Tonga likely

1242 man in possible Japanese 1601UT

1422 man talking, Japanese intonation 1544-6UT

1566 woman talking Chinese intonation, interspersed with music 1614UT, and a few other times in the next 15 minutes

1593 man talking, Chinese intonation? 1601UT, only single pip on hour in murk, but sounded the right pitch for CNR1

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
747 774 828 972 1269 1287 1458 1557 1575 seemed to be Asian;
612 657 738 774 891 1098 seemed to be DU

best wishes,
