Thanks, Nick. I'll see what the Japanese DXers have to say about it. Oddly enough, Japanese stations were almost totally shut out in the Cook Islands. Only 774-JOUB made a weak appearance under 3LO on one morning. The sunrise session gray line propagation was heavily slanted toward eastern China stations, as well as toward those slightly west of the Chinese coast (Bangladesh, Mongolia and Cambodia). Who am I to complain? :-) Gary > On April 23, 2018 at 5:13 PM Nicholas Hall-Patch <[email protected]> wrote: > > At that time, JOER is relaying All Night Nippon, isn't it Gary?
