[IRCA] TP 15 Feb Victoria version



An extraordinary mess of DX, much unidentified, or unidentifiable on multiple channels.   I've run out of steam going through the files, so there's likely a lot still to be found....and never will be.    A lot of peculiarity to the morning too, many signals with strong carriers and little to no audio riding along, plus domestic splash seemed pretty lively as well.


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

567 JOIK woman in Japanese //594 1454UT
594 JOAK man in Japanese 1506UT
639 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1452-3UT, used a number of times for parallels
693 JOAB man in Portuguese //774 1449UT
747 JOIB 1500UT pips, woman in Japanese
774 JOUB woman singing //873 1458UT
828 JOBB too numerous to mention
972 HLCA woman in Korean 1455UT
1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1517UT, far better on north Flag. This wasn't quite as strong in general as other mornings.


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

657 woman singing operatic style 1500UT, assumed N. Korea
873 JOGB woman singing //774 1457UT
945 CNR1 1502UT, news sounder //639 
954 JOKR man in Japanese 1518UT
1098 CNR1 woman in Chinese //639 1522UT
1143 Taiwan Fisheries woman in Chinese //738 1456UT
1242 JOLF man in Japanese 1503UT
1287 JOHR Japanese pop 1458UT
1323 CRI its incredibly strong carrier delivered this audio level very briefly, stringed music leading to chimes  and fanfare 1459UT
1575 VoA ID, Yankee Doodle, following program in Burmese announcement by man 1530UT


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

558 HLQB as 603 1502UT
603 HLSA man talking //558 1502UT
612 JOLK 1459UT Anshin Rajio mention //594 
666 JOBK 1508UT man in Japanese
702 NHK2 pips after music, //693 1500UT
702 unID sounded like Chinese talk by man; not //NHK2 for certain, 1448UT
738 Taiwan Fisheries ballad //1143 1445UT and many other times
819 female choral music 1451UT, N. Korea? 
918 Shandong likely, two men in Chinese 1448UT; very strong carrier, not much audio; noted after 1500UT  man in Chinese again
981 CNR1 man in Chinese //639 1455UT
1044 CRI assumed; man in Japanese 1506UT
1179 woman and man in Chinese 1444UT
1593 CNR1 man in Chinese //639 1504UT




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)

531 JOQG woman talking //567 1455UT 
585 JOPG woman talking //567 1455UT
585 unID   music not //594 1446UT 
603 man talking, sounded like Chinese, over and under HLSA's soft music 1452UT 
621 man haranguing 1453UT N. Korea?
711 woman talking, Chinese intonation 1502UT, taken over by:
711 man talking, maybe Korean 1503UT
756 CNR1 man talking //639 1456UT
783 slow choral music 1506UT
837 JOQK //594 woman talking 1447UT; mostly assumed Chinese was dominating
 936 China....strong carrier, undernourished audio, muffled ballad 1446UT; Chinese pips at 1500UT
1017 CRI? woman talking, Korean intonation? 1516UT
1053 man talking excitedly, Chinese intonation 1450UT
1089 classical orchestral music 1523UT; CNR6?
1116 man talking Chinese intonation 1449UT
1134  woman in Korean? 1457UT
1206 woman talking, might have been Korean? 1443UT
1224 JOJK female ballad, not //594, but was //585  1456UT
1251 CNR1 man talking //945 1508UT 
1305 woman singing 1509UT; also a ballad at 1529UT; didn't hear any talk.  A Chinese station most likely? 
1386 NHK2 woman talking //774 1503UT
1503 JOUK woman talking //594 1443UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
 675 684 729 792 801 846 864 909  999 1008 1026 1035 1152 1161   1188 1197   1215 1269 1278  1296 1314 1332 1341   1359 1422 1458 1512 seemed to be Asian;
 846  seemed to be DU 



best wishes,
