Still pretty lively, with a brace of weak Chinese, plus something unusual on 1296. A nice lift around 1430UT, near local sunrise.

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

774 JOUB 1422UT

828 JOBB 1342UT

972 HLCA 1439UT

1557 Taiwan woman in Chinese, strongest signal on the band at 1433UT

1575 VoA powering in at 1438UT with man in Burmese per announcement at 1430UT

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

567 JOIK //594 1406UT

594 JOAK 1438UT

774 JOIB 1443UT

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

the above passing through

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)

603 HLSA ballad //558 on Korean KiwiSDR 1437UT, but someone there also with Chinese? talk

738 man talking, Chinese intonation, 1349UT; ~30Hz with harmonics modulating a carrier on the channel

756 CNR1 //981 at 1343UT

873 JOGB //774 1408UT

891 JOHK man //594 1352UT

981 CNR1 man talking //756 1343UT, fading down as 756 faded up

1017 woman and man talking, possibly Korean? 1349UT, not //NHK2

1143 woman in Chinese? 1425UT; just a rumble on 738 at this time

1296 the morning mystery: woman talking, Chinese? intonation, then flute music as intro to male/female vocals 1428-1433UT; best on north Flag

1377 CNR1 man talking, CNR1 news sounders 1431UT //639

1503 JOUK //594 1429UT

1566 man talking, Chinese intonation 1434UT

1593 man in Chinese? no parallels 1414UT

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

558 621 675 693 702 711 729 837 846 909 918 945 1098 1188 1269 1287 1323 1359 1458 1494 1539 seemed to be Asian;

576 585 1548 seemed to be DU
