Hello All, Despite limited time to listen, the band was full of TP signals from 1535-1555 UTC, including many low-band big guns which seemed to have been in hibernation recently. The star of the morning was 972-HLCA, with its best signal by far in the new year of 2013. A brief check of the band at 1500 also revealed 738-BEL2 in with fair Chinese audio, a rarity in deep winter.
