Lively in spots this morning; still no upper band action, but a mix of DU and Asia on the lower band.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

774 JOUB 1440UT

Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):

594 JOAK 1446UT

972 HLCA 1438UT

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

612 4QR woman in DU English 1429UT

693 JOAB woman in Japanese through 690 splatter 1455UT

747 JOIB 1430UT

828 JOBB Portuguese news 1359UT, NHK mention

1017 Tonga likely; choral ballad 1434UT, man in island languageÉ

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)

567 ballad not //594 1354UT NZ?

567 JOIK //594 1419UT

585 7RN //621 1440UT

621 3RN woman talking //585 1440UT

675 light instrumental music, only on west Flag 1450UT; NZ?

963 female pop vocal 1426UT; NZ?

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

1323 seemed to be Asian;

657 738 891 1098 seemed to be DU

best wishes,
