This morning's session had a real split personality. Much as
Colin reported, things were lively from Asia early today. I started a
bit earlier than normal, around 1220, and several Japanese already had
good signals. It looked like being a great Asian morning, but turned
out things went downhill quickly after 1300. By 1330 the reception
pattern had completely changed, with virtually no sign of even decent
carriers from Asia, but quite a few from DU, and even some audio from
DU. I certainly can't claim it wasn't an interesting morning!
594 JAPAN, Tokyo JOAK
Strong carrier earliet, but no audio until noted with Japanese talk
at 1257. Soon thereafter it joined the Asian swoon.
612 AUSTRALIA, Brisbane 4QR
Talk by Aussie-accented man at 1344
747 JAPAN, Sapporo JOIB
Noted //774 at 1225
774 JAPAN, Akita JOUB
Doing well already at 1222, with man in Japanese.
828 JAPAN, Osaka JOBB
Good signal, //774 at 1222
891 AUSTRALIA, Adelaide 5AN
Poor with ABC news fanfare at 1330, up to fair a few minutes later.
1548 AUSTRALIA, Emerald 4QD
Lots of 1550 splatter, but could make out English talk at 1335.
Several 'almost there' carriers:
693, 972 during the Asian opening
792, 855 during the Australian portion
