Normally on 690khz, I hear CBKF1 Gravelbourg, Sask or KGGF Coffeyville, KS
but a few weeks ago I had some good copy on CBU for several minutes

This was recorded on Fri February 22, 2019 at 621 am mountain/521am pacific
using a 25 foot long by 10 foot tall wellbrook ala100ln loop connected to
an Icom IC746pro with audio fed directly out of the headphone jack to a
digital recorder

A CBC engineer whod know things tells me CBU is now running 20KW into 2
towers instead of its previously licensed 50KW/4 towers

Pretty much a big gun morning, reduced somewhat by the fact that NHK2 signed off at 1440UT.

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

nope

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

594 //567 1443UT with jazz, then Japanese talk by man

747 JOIB 1424UT

774 JOBB 1430UT

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

567 woman in Japanese 1404UT; weaker at 1443UT //594

972 HLCA 1430UT

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)

the above, passing through

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

603 693 702 819 828 891 981 1566 seemed to be Asian;

891 seemed to be DU
