Hello All, It was a morning of transition here as 738-Tahiti (and the South Pacific heterodynes) fizzled out together with the aurora, leaving several Asiatic big guns to begin the recovery program. The band was still in a much weaker state than usual but there were some vibrant signals from the Japanese big guns on 594, 693, 774 and 1287, as well as the 1053- Korean Jammer. The Chinese were still in hiding, and the usually potent 972-HLCA never got out of the noise. A minor surprise was 558-HLQH, which was back to its regular fair strength as though the aurora had never happened. Overall it was a mediocre morning, but at least better than yesterday's aurora-depressed results in this notorious DU-dead zone. 558 HLQH Daegu, S.
