[IRCA] TP 2 Apr Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Gary and Bruce sure proved today that you can hear the deeper East Asians better down Puget Sound way.  Today was  brief blips of mostly rather faint Asian signals.....Mind you there was also a touch of post sunrise DX, mostly HLAZ, which wouldn't quit properly.  Still had recognizable music on the channel from 1524 to 1527UT when my recording quit, and I personally had quit an hour and a half previously.


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


1566 HLAZ brief patches of reasonably strong and very readable signals 1246UT and 1250UT with woman in Japanese and piano music...but mostly it was in the weeds. 





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


got to fill this up somehow...after the pattern change to the Chinese program, there were occasional mumbles on 1566,  but:

   1566 HLAZ  man in Chinese 1452UT, slow fade down, then nearly as good again 1459UT, fading past the hour.  Last call 1527UT....getting on towards a couple of hours after local sunrise





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

747 JOIB woman talking in Japanese , briefly at this level 1311UT

774 JOUB  woman in Japanese 1313UT




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)

594 woman talking, Japanese? 1333UT

828 woman talking, Japanese? 1334UT

954 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1332UT

972 woman talking, wishful thinking might make it Korean 1335UT

1242 pop music 1442UT, nearly an hour after local sunrise, and this channel finally delivers a spot of audio






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

  558 567 864  909 918 945  1098 1323 1422 1575 1593   seemed to be Asian;
 846 1017   seemed to be DU 



best wishes,

Nick
