Hello All, The improved Asian conditions noted by Richard and Bill somehow failed to materialize here this morning, as signals from both the "big gun" and second-tier TP's seemed slightly down from yesterday. Although most of the regular Asian lineup put in fair appearances, the vibrant audio from stations like 603-HLSA and 639-CNR1 was gone, and the session failed to deliver very much excitement. One notable exception was a late fade-in on 1377 by a presumed CNR1 and an UNID co-channel in KRKO splatter around 1512, continuing a mystery that had also been observed here previously. The two stations had brief moments of reasonable audio in the 1380 splatter, with the non-Chinese station having a male voice in apparent Japanese, but too weak to check the NHK2 parallel. Other than this brief moment of excitement, the morning's results were fairly lackluster. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5" loopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the back yard). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as an SSB spotting reciever: 558 HLQH Daegu, S.
