[IRCA] TP 6 Nov, Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Except for a radio blackout yesterday, all conditions pointed to a 
reasonable Asiatic morning.   I suspect that the best conditions were 
around 1300UT, because by 1330UT, it was getting pretty 
spotty.   Everything you see listed below was the result of 
digging.   One bright spot was that the recorder tells me that 
HLCA-972 was still somewhat readable as late at 1643UT, about 90 
minutes after local sunrise.


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

not today


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

567 JOIK main in JJ up to pips at 1300UT, followed by jazzy 
interlude, and more talk from man and woman
693 JOAB woman and man in JJ, little musical interlude and pips 
1300UT, followed by weather report.  Surprise of the morning, how 
clear it was, until I realized that CBU-690 was off the air, and only 
XEWW was IDing on the hour.   I could learn to like that situation.
747 JOIB man in JJ 1413UT, briefly at this level
774 JOUB pips followed by wx report 1300UT, never better than this 
the rest of the morning.
972 HLCA, man in KK 1609UT, no better than this earlier; still 
somewhat readable 1616UT, 8dB stronger than 970, and at 1643UT



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

603 HLSA? laid back vocal mx 1603UT; only other time it was audible 
was at 1400UT, when woman talking, KBS2 chimes and single pip were 
heard; it was practically the only overseas audio on the band at this point!
1053 KK jammer 1301UT



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 JOAK? orchestral mx 1449UT, man talking 1451UT JJ inflection?
639 CNR1?  woman then man talking, CC inflection, 1418UT;  also CC 
sounding man 1532UT
738 Tahiti likely, woman talking  FF inflection 1402UT
828 JOBB weather report //774 1301UT

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary"audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter):648

558 756 1017 1287 1323 1566


best wishes,

Nick
