[IRCA] TP 16 Sep Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

At some point, one has to throw in the towel, and let some of the DX get away, I'm afraid.   What a snorter of a morning.   I don't think anyone raised power, just the ionosphere letting its hair down, finally.






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

594 JOAK man in Japanese 1305UT, and many other times

693 JOAB English lessons, the fine art of baseball 1328UT

747 JOIB English lessons 1320UT

774 JOUB baseball discussions during English lessons 1348UT

828 JOBB...nothing specific noted, just one more broadcaster available to educate the western masses in English 

972 HLCA man in Korean talking to another on the phone 1256UT, thunderous, clear.  Yow.

1134 KBS woman and man in Korean briefly made it to this level 1327UT, leveling the splash

1566 HLAZ woman in Japanese, Gregorian chant, 1339UT







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

567 JOIK man in Japanese //594 1308UT

612 4QR man and woman talking //594 1329UT, English at this point, not Japanese.

873 JOGB English lessons 1311UT //828 




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

594 3WV man talking //612, mixing with JOAK 1347UT

855 Pyongyang Bangsong; man in Korean 1301UT, snagged a N. Korean parallel later; this had 3 and one pips on the hour, sounding more sluggish than the usual NHK/KBS set.

1206 instrumental music 1302UT, likely Yanbian?

1287 JOHR likely with Japanese pop 1341UT

1323 CRI ....woman in Russian 1301UT

1575 VoA likely man in SE Asian language 1343UT




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)  


558 HLQH 1301UT //603, laid back vocal music

576 2RN, as 7RN below

585 7RN man talking //576 1339UT

603 HLSA laid back vocal 1301UT //558

657 Pyongyang Bangsong choral music //819 (though not listed as Pyongyang Bangsong) and 855 1318-9UT

702 NHK2 woman talking 1315UT

711 woman talking, Korean? 1331UT

738 Taiwan Fisheries woman talking //1143 1317UT, both channels a  mess however. 

837 woman talking, DU English? 1311UT

837 JOQK female pop vocal //594 1320UT

864 man talking, Japanese intonation 1308UT

891 JOHK woman talking //594 1322UT

918 man talking, Chinese intonation 1322UT

945 CNR1 pips //981, 1300UT though splat drowned out the Beijing TC

954 woman talking Japanese intonation 

963 CRI woman talking //1323 1337UT

981 CNR1 pips and time check //945  1300UT

1053 man talking, Chinese intonation 1327UT

1098 CNR1  instrumental music, woman talking, //945 1303UT

1116 4BC likely, with  6 pips at 1300UT, but  mixing with Chinese pips as well

1143 Taiwan Fisheries woman talking, //738 1317UT; a mess on the channel

1242 man Japanese intonation 1346UT, likely JOLF?

1593 CNR1 group singing //945  1314UT




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

 621 639 666 729 846  936 1035 1062 1089 1179 1188  1197 1215  1251 1314 1332 1422 1503 seemed to be Asian; 
 558 819 1098 1107 seemed to be DU 



best wishes,

Nick
