In some ways worse (the lower band was almost completely dead), in some ways better (there was a lift at the upper end of the band around local sunrise)

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):

1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese followed by female vocal music 1542UT. This first showed about 1530UT, and lasted until after 1600UT, but not at this good a level

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

1593 CNR1 woman talking //6175 1539UT

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)

972 woman talking, maybe Korean? 1527UT

1557 man talking, Chinese intonation at 1540 and 1545UT

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)

1242 1359 1422 1503 1575 seemed to be Asian;
1017 seemed to be DU
