Well, amazing to me anyways.
Back on Friday morning November 15th, I had my best AM DX logging of the
season here in Laramie, Wyoming. Just as I was about to shut my radio down
for the morning, I decided to check some 9khz splits on a whim. I have
checked the 9khz splits before but had nothing... this time I was rewarded
with something very nice on 774khz despite being occasionally ravaged by
splatter schlop from KKOB.(I Set my Icom IC746Pro to 3khz audio bandwith) I initially did not know what this was as I don't engage in much
transpacific DXing here in Laramie At 6:49am mountain, I had a woman and man talking. I'm not sure if this was
some kind of language lesson but just a program in another language. Audio:

come back. Here's a clip at 6:54am mountain time with a woman and man
talking with what sounds like near the end of the program Audio:

clear at about 30 seconds into the recording. Listen closely at about 3
minutes, the woman makes a brief mention of "NHK World Radio Japan" which
clenched it for me as to what this was! After the mention of NHK World, you
hear the top of hour time tones. Audio:

antenna
