[IRCA] TP 27 Oct Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

After Colin's amazing report, I was wondering what was wrong with my antenna.   For some reason, splash was fairly bad on the west Flag which is what I was using before I got out of bed, so most of what he was reporting simply wasn't making it here.  

However, once I'd switched over to the north Flag, things got better, plus there's a boost here around 1425UT, so I concentrated instead on the 1415-1500UT time period.  As mentioned, 1500UT wasn't the end of the opening, and in fact, HLAZ made an appearance as late as 1647UT with Russian talk, which is nearly  two hours after local sunrise here.

As usual, there were probably many fades up missed.  And, maybe some of my Chinese were as loud as Gary's, after all.




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

558 HLQH ballad //603 1433UT

567 JOIK man in Japanese 1427UT

594 JOAK woman in Japanese over man in Chinese? 1436UT;   however, many times this was also nearly inaudible this morning

603 HLSA woman in Korean //558 1427UT

639 CNR1 echoing woman in Chinese //1251, 1427UT  

747 JOIB woman in Japanese 1449UT

756 CNR1 man in Chinese, echoey and slightly offset from 639  1426UT

774 JOUB woman in Japanese 1358UT; heard at similar strength at 1531UT

828 JOBB English lessons 1419UT 

918 man in Chinese 1436UT, then became echoey; assumed Shandong

945 unID  instrumental music of some sort, well over CNR1 1426UT, but the latter soon took over

945 CNR1 man and woman in Chinese //639 1427UT, taking over from above unID

972 HLCA woman in Korean,1418UT, something else underneath also; still had a pretty good signal at 1609UT, but that was after a fade up.





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

603 woman in Chinese 1427UT overtaking HLSA

612 JOLK two men talking //594 1425UT

657 N. Korea brief peak past splash with operatic singing //855 1429UT

855 N. Korea female operatic singing //657 1429UT 

855 CNR2 woman talking //1116 1430UT

873 JOGB English lessons 1422UT

954 unID pop music 1434UT over weaker man in Japanese

954 JOKR man in Japanese 1440UT

963 CRI man in Russian 1436UT

1242 JOLF man in Japanese 1437UT

1287 JOHR two men in Japanese 1434UT

1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1424UT; still fading up to man in Russian at 1647UT

1575 VoA likely, woman in SE Asian language 1428UT, couldn't snag ID's on hour or half hour; also sounded like someone withpop music at one point earlier




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

531 JOQG woman //531 1422UT

585 JOPG man //594 1429UT

621 woman in Chinese, very echoey 1433UT

702 woman in Chinese after rock music 1437UT; also NHK2, woman talking, //774

711 HLKA man in Korean //864 1432UT

720 N. Korea woman singing //819 1425UT

738 Taiwan Fisheries woman in Chinese 1426UT. and who knows what underneath

819 N. Korea woman singing, orchestral music 1426UT

864 HLKR man talking 1433UT; //711 

945 NHK1 man //594 1422UT

1017 CRI pop music, woman in Korean 1434UT

1044 CRI woman in Japanese during quiet patch in 1040 splat 1442UT

1116 CNR2 woman in Chinese 1430UT //855

1323 CRI man in Russian //963 1431UT

1503 JOUK man //594 1428UT

1593 CNR1 woman in Chinese //945 but offset by more than a secodn 1448UT


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) 

585 orchestral music not //594, 1424UT; on north Flag, so not DU


675 mostly a bubbly mess. NHK1 man talking //594 1425UT; male vocal under might have been Vietnam 1426UT

720 woman in Chinese? fading up to equal KFIR fading down 1430UT; not N. Korea at this point

783 man in Chinese type mumbling 1423-5UT; so luck in tracking any sort of parallel

846 mess of audio on north Flag, so...Asian, but who knows who

873 N. Korea woman singing //819 1426UT

900 man talking, Chinese intonation, echoey,not //621 1433UT

936 big carrier, weak audio, woman in possible Chinese, 1419UT, maybe someone underneath also

963 NHK1 music //594 1434U

981 CNR1 woman talking, with echo //639 1420UT

999 man talking, Chinese sort of way 1424UT

1008 woman talking  Chinese intonation 1457UT

1017 JOLB woman //774 1445UT

1035 CNR1 woman talking //639, but somewhat offset 1438UT

1089 JOHB woman //774 1446UT o/u woman talking, Chinese intonation

1098 CNR1 man //639 1422UT

1134 man in possible Korean, instrumental music 1434UT; unfortunately north Flag hears Vancouver really well = 1130 splash

1143  Taiwan Fisheries woman //738 1426UT

1179 two stations, one a man with Chinese intonation 1431UT

1251 CNR1 woman //639 1427UT

1278 woman in Chinese, 1445UT

1305 two stations both sounding Chinese; who knows

1314 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1428UT

1377 CNR1 man talking //639 1447UT, back at 1521UT also

1386 ballad 1424UT not //NHK2, but moments later woman //774 for NHK2

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

 765 891 909 1053 1062 1107 1206  1215  1269  1341 1359 1422  1458    seemed to be Asian; 
nothing much  seemed  to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick
