Hello All, The band showed promise during brief checks at 1410 and 1500 UTC, with interesting signals showing up on 558 (Korean), 603 (Chinese), 936 (Chinese) and 1035 (Chinese). Unfortunately sunrise enhancement (1530-1550) didn't enhance very much here, and only the regular big guns of 594-JOAK, 972-HLCA, 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA had much audio during this period. The second-tier TP's seemed to bail before the mediocre sunrise session, resulting in a fairly lackluster morning overall. Receiver was a C.Crane SWP 7.5" Slider loopstick Ultralight boosted by an 8" FSL antenna (DXing indoors, due to lack of interest in the subfreezing back yard temperature).
