[IRCA] TP 17 Mar Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't have thought to check 1440 this morning except for Bruce's suggestion, but sure enough, a fast talking Japanese woman was ruling a suppressed sounding domestic channel for a minute or so around 1355UT.  The opening here in Victoria was more sedate, but also affected some of the lower channels as well, and lasted maybe until 1410UT; things fell apart rapidly as sunrise approached..





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


567 JOIK man in Japanese //594 1349UT
774 JOUB  man in Japanese 1357UT
972 HLCA emotional female vocal music 1343UT
1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1406UT; music underneath from another station?


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

594 JOAK man in Japanese 1414UT
747 JOIB  man in Japanese 1410UT
828 JOBB man in Japanese 1339UT
1503 JOUK man talking //594 1408UT, best strength for this slow developer
1593 CNR1 first appeared around 1325UT, and gradually built to this strength at 1400UT, pips and Beijing time check by woman




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


693 JOAB English lessons 1328UT
864 woman talking Japanese 1337UT, no idea which one
1557 Taiwan assumed with man in Chinese 1409UT, best on northern Flag



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 laid back female vocal 1351-2UT; Korea?
612 woman talking, DU English intonation 1351UT
639 JOPB surprise of the morning, man talking //747 etc. 1351UT
702 NHK2 man talking Japanese //774 1354UT
774 woman talking, DU English intonation mostly u/JOUB 1327UT
873 JOGB man talking //774 1357UT
954 man talking, Japanese intonation 1409UT
1134 pop music 1412UT
1188 JOKP two men talking //594, pips, 1359-1400UT
1386 NHK2 piano music //774 1353UT
1422 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1357UT
1440 JOWF a fast talking Japanese woman was ruling a suppressed sounding domestic channel for a minute or so around 1355UT; nothing like that on 1260 or 1350
1575 mess of audio, one more energetic announcer could have been AFN, but VoA programming seemed to be there also 1408UT






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

 558   657 666 711 819 837  846   945   1179 1206 1242  1251 1269 1323 1359   seemed to be Asian;
  738 846 1017  1116 seemed to be DU 



best wishes,

Nick
