[IRCA] TP 19 Nov Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Pretty much back into the bucket, as Gary has pointed out.   There 
was some life from the bigger guns between 1300 and 1400UT (and the 
slgnal strength monitor said there was life before then too), but by 
1400UT, it was a DXer's wasteland out there.   Tahiti made a welcome 
appearance around 1445UT, and there was a bit of and Asiatic lift 
from 1500UT onwards, with JOAK making quite a readable noise a few 
minutes before local sunrise.





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

only in dreams




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

594 JOAK woman in Japanese 1519UT; still a bit of audio 10 minutes later
738 Tahiti, island vocals, woman in French 1444UT





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


774 JOUB man in Japanese 1345UT; although pips were heard at 1500UT 
followed by a man talking, didn't meet this strength.  Was still 
making an effort at 1529UT





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)

612 4QR man talking, then woman, DU English inflection 1302UT, fading 
up after the hour
828 JOBB pips notes at 1300UT, with intro music to Korean lessons; 
also may have been the one with man talking 1524UT, Japanese inflection
1566 man and woman talking, maybe Japanese, then piano music 1313UT



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

 1593



best wishes,

Nick
