HLAZ showed reasonably well again this morning, though not as good as yesterday, and faded well before 1530UT. 603 picked up the slack a bit later, but overall quite a poor morning for sunrise enhancement, and for anything else for that matter pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ man in CC 1456UT; faded up around 1445UT, but didn't hit too many peaks like this Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 603 HLSA deep voiced man in KK, its best signal of the morning 1529UT, into music a bit more upbeat than usual.

A lively morning from early on, and faded out more normally after 1530UT. By 1200UT, a number of big guns on the low to mid band were holding forth with great energy, some at their strongest for the morning.Many of the signals noted below were at the level indicated on and off for hours. Nice to snag a raft of CNR1 stations, even if only weakly. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB man in Japanese 1527UT; this was heard first at 1000UT. 774 JOUB man in Japanese 1158UT, probably got to this level at other times, but who was paying attention?
