Things had died out well before sunrise this morning, but HLAZ, at any rate, put on a bit of performance.

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

1566 HLAZ back in business, man in Chinese 1449UT

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

the above passing through

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

594 JOAK man in Japanese, NHK1 theme music 1457UT, a brief NHK1 party with 567 and 585 at the bottom of the band, all gone by the hour.

1557 RTI man in Chinese 1453UT

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 interlude music punching through //594 1457UT

585 JOPG interlude music //594 1457UT

603 man and woman talking quite intense, sounded oriental, but not the standard KBS2 programming 1444UT; quiet music a few minutes before the hour seemed more like KBS2, but everything gone by 1500UT

828 JOBB with the distinctive sound of English lessons on the north Flag 1438UT

1422 erratic fading, but traces of ballad and a woman in possible Japanese 1500UT

1593 man talking, Chinese intonation 1442UT

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

747 1026 1098 1242 1278 1332 1359 1494 1503 seemed to be Asian;
567 612 621 702 738 756 882 909 1017 seemed to be DU

best wishes,

Hints of New Zealand earlier, and a weak high band blip after local sunrise, now at 15:24UTC.

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

not so

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

the above passing through

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

all quiet on the not so reasonable front

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)

675 pop vocal 1458UT, pips on hour creeping through splat; last one longer points to NZ

774 two men, maybe Japanese 1436UT

909 ballad 1444UT, NZ?

1557 woman talking, 1528UT and 1535UT, pretty marginal, but guessing Taiwan?

1575 woman talking 1539UT, again marginal, but suspect VoA; better on north Flag

1593 maybe NHK2? as woman and man talking not //6175 1538UT, but all gone by 1540UT supposed NHK2 s/off

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

594 828 1296 1359 1503 1566 1611 seemed to be Asian;
594 702 756 765 891 1017 1035 seemed to be DU

After a long dry spell, there appear to be some TA carriers this
evening after 0400UT and up to 0445UT, very much in the usual suspect
territory, mostly British origin? 882, 1098 1215, might have been a
hint of 909. 855 was showing signs also.

A short upper band blip around local sunrise, and that was about it.

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

not so

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

the above passing through

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

1575 VoA "you are listening to the Voice of America" by man happened to hit the top of one of the erratic fades, though traces of this had been around since 1440UT

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 man talking, Japanese intonation 1532UT

774 sounded like English lessons, the lady with the swooping voice 1526UT

1593 CNR1 man talking //6175, both of them pretty ragged, 1529UT

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

603 774 828 1557 1566 seemed to be Asian;
738 837 1017 seemed to be DU
