[IRCA] TP 3 Jan Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

The year continues downhill, in spite of the geomagnetically quiet conditions; but then there was AFN on 1575...   NHK2 again off at 1440UT, but not much zip compared with previous days.

  If nothing else,there was time to check 1323 and 963 on the Khabarovsk KiwiSDR  at 1500 and 1600UT.   At 1500UT, 1323 was going strong "Radio Kitaya" CRI, with no sign of going off the air per its listed sign off.   963 on the other hand showed no sign of Radio Kitaya before 1500UT; no wonder it's not being heard just now.   At 1600UT no IDs on 1323, but recognizable top of the hour CRI music, which stopped at 1600UT, followed by a short tone and then off, with NHK1 filling the gap.





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

nada, though perhaps 774's sign off chimes came close?





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

594 JOAK 1600UT

774 JOUB s/off 1443UT




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


639 CNR1 //1593 1544UT

747 JOIB s/off 1441UT

1503 JOUK 1558UT jazz guitar //594

1575  AFN assumed with woman and man in American English "January 31st, in time..." a chance to join for military members"  1543UT, erratic fading



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) 

567 JOIK //594 1555UT

603 ballad 1522UT likely HLSA

621 yet another ballad 1542UT; Heilongjiang RGD likely?

828 JOBB  s/off 1440UT

855 ballad 1558UT;  maybe Chinese pips on hour, but pretty imaginary

972 man talking, Korean?  1545UT

1287 man talking, Japanese intonation 1541UT

1593 CNR1 //639 1544UT


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
657 738  891 918 945 1242  1269 1323 1386 1422  1494  1557  seemed to be Asian; 
nothing  seemed  to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick
