Hello All, Asian propagation this morning had an interesting pattern, as more and more Chinese stations produced fair audio across the MW spectrum, but without any increase in the "big gun" Asiatic TP strength. Somewhat rare (for here) 1053-Mandarin Chinese audio was received at 1333 at a decent level as the Korean Jammer faded temporarily, and both 1035 (Chinese) and 1044 (Japanese from CRI in China) were fairly vibrant. The NHK big guns were coming in with average strength, as were the "best bets" from some other Asian countries (648-VOR, 657-Pyongyang, and 675-Vietnam). Like Patrick, I had traces of a presumed Thailand under 891-JOHK, and also had a presumed China under 828-JOBB (both of which have been fairly regular here this week). Congratulations to Patrick for his first ULR-TP reception on the modified PL-380, and also to Richard Allen of Perry, Oklahoma for receiving 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB and 774-JOUB on his modified Tecsun PL-310 this morning.
