Yes, it's always amazing how quickly conditions collapse at this time
of year, Nigel. I had a hint of audio on 1287 on 12 May, but
otherwise, if it wasn't for 738, there would hardly even be any
morning carriers, let alone audio.
best wishes,
Nick

If the DX came to Alberta it was apparently a one day visit. The
following day had some carriers on similar channels, and today was
pretty much dead. The Asians, it seems, have gone for the season.

So Alberta is where the DX has gone?
Beyond hearing Tahiti at a reasonable level around 1229UT on 10
May, fair strength carriers were restricted to 1008 1098 and
1503. There were carriers on the X-band, but weak. 1611 doesn't
need much strength here to start delivering audio, but there really
is a tangle of carriers there to mangle up any audio that creeps through.

Between vacation and work commitments (not to mention mornings
totally lacking in TPs) it's been a while since I reported.
Finally listened again yesterday, and found all the action was DU
and limited to the X-band.
1611 - Just the faintest of audio traces at 1129.
1629.03 - traces of man speaking at 1128
1656 - Man talking at 1131. Too weak to determine language, but
it wasn't English. Possibly Greek.
1701.07 - AUSTRALIA, R.Brisvaani. Easily the best of the DU
signals, with quite consistent signal from 1125 to 1135. Mostly
Indian vocals, but some talk too.
Carriers also noted on 1638, 1674, 1683, as well as on a few
channels in the regular band above 1500 khz.
