Craig was absolutely correct-- the TP's were pounding in with serious force this morning. The main star here was 738-BEL2, which managed its best signal of the year so far (good) around 1414. 603-China was also dominant over HLSA during sunrise enhancement, and 657-China managed to give the "booby prize" (Pyongyang) some welcome competition.
Overall the session seemed to favor the Japanese, though, and since 738-Taiwan typically does quite well when the Japanese get a boost, it sounded pretty energetic this morning. The strongest TP's here were 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA, however, with the latter hitting a thunderous level with Korean pop music at 1403.

Korea Female vocal music at a monster level at 1403; Chris Kadlec says this station's listeners are mainly older people-- maybe that's why this song sounds so good to me? :-) https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/h9cv3vt4of2kewss602e4x6frdpvf6ji 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave SSB Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
