Definitely a Japanese morning. The big guns delivered, and there were quite a few second tier stations also, though most of them popped up briefly around 1350UT

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

594 JOAK 1414UT, 1426UT, and other times

774 JOUB 1410UT

828 JOBB 1353UT

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

747 JOIB 1410UT

873 JOGB 1349 and 1353UT

972 HLCA 1332UT

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

693 JOAB 1415UT; sure helps to null CBU-690 however

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 JOIK //594 1412UT

612 4QR woman DU English intonation 1404UT; clinched with "ABC news" 1405UT

666 JOBK //594 1350UT

702 NHK2 //774 1410UT

729 JOCK //594 1352UT

837 JOQK //594 13351UT

846 NHK1 mumbly man, but definitely //594 1349UT

864 female pop vocal 1354UT, no idea, but likely Japan judging by all the others at this time

891 JOHK //594 1404UT

909 JOCB //774 1407UT

954 man talking, Japanese intonation 1326UT

1008 man talking, Japanese intonation 1350UT

1089 JOHB //828 1409UT

1242 JOLF pop vocal //1332 1353UT

1332 JOSF pop vocal //1242UT 1353UT, woman talking, Japanese intonation

1422 man talking, Japanese intonation 1403, likely JORF?

1566 man talking 1408UT, Chinese intonation

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

648 819 918 1134 1179 1269 1314 1593 seemed to be Asian;

1017 seemed to be DU
