Hello All, Asian results here this morning were not much better than those experienced inland by Richard and Bill, and probably not up to Nigel's level. The dreary results have been pretty common recently, as the Fall DX Season continues its steady decline, into an apparent early demise. TP signal strength was fair around 1415 but went downhill from there, with no apparent local sunrise enhancement. A few Asian "big guns" sounded vibrant well before sunrise, but the daylight seemed to scare them off. By 1515 even these powerhouse stations had checked out. 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 snowy back yard): 558 HLQH Daegu, S. Korea (presumed) Threshold music at 1416, but no 603 // for identity check 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Fair-good with interval music at 1459 648 VOR Razdolnoye, Russia Fair Korean speech at 1504 657 Pyongyang BS, N.
