This morning might take the title for the season's worst...


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

not by any means




Reasonable audio at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):


the above passing through




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker: 

not in the slightest




Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by 
cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) 

594 JOAK  NHK interlude music recognizable in the gloom 1510UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)

 567 1566 seemed to be Asian; 
891 1017 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

I tuned in at around 1430 and the NHP fish barrel looked pretty lively — but my 
80-10M end fed simply did not measure up.

Nicks SDR looked good on 594, 774, 828, 891, 972, ... through to 1566 (which 
was the best signal on the band...)

I got threshold audio on 774, 828, 972, 1053 and 1566... a good 10-15 dB below 
whatever Nick was getting.

Getting a FLAG or Wellbrook ALA back in the air is imperative.

Not really an exciting morning, but still a considerable improvement 
on yesterday.

at least briefly):


not quite



Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):

774 JOUB  Portuguese news 1446UT
972 HLCA man in Korean 1525UT
1566 HLAZ likely, female vocal, piano accompaniment 1536-7UT



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


747 JOIB music box s/off 1502UT
1557 Taiwan woman in Chinese 1536UT, better north Flag
1593 CNR1 woman in Chinese 1538UT //6125, also noted after 1600UT today

The higher indices had an effect, but didn't wipe things out
completely. Except for 1422, sunrise enhancement was pretty much MIA
today

not today




Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by

Not yesterday's DX session by any means.   A couple of audios before 
1400UT, then nothing much until sunrise enhancement, and then 
everything, such as it was, was above 1550kHz.



pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):



1566 HLAZ woman in Japanese and pop sounding music, 1327UT.





Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


1566 HLAZ pop music 1545UT, and as it faded somewhat  by 1552UT, 
there was a man talking, trading places with it, Chinese inflection, 
so the jammer was making it also it seems





not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


738 Tahiti?  pop music 1349UT
1557 Taiwan assumed, quiet vocal music peaking 1545UT, man talking as 
it faded, sounding Chinese
1593 CNR1 woman and man talking, //6030 1548UT, with 6030 not as 
good, and other parallels MIA.  Not good news when shortwave is worse 
than medium wave.  Best on north Flag in spite of worse splash from 1600kHz




Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be 
guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music)


1287 woman talking Japanese inflection, 1349UT


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


the above passing through, not much action today.





best wishes,

Nick

In one way, this was an inferior morning to yesterday...nothing was 
very strong, but there were a few more audios with hard work.

back to normal

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or

In spite of Gary's observations, I had no sunrise enhancement here at 
all, and precious little action previous to sunrise either




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


1566 HLAZ woman in CC 1408UT, had been building to this since about 
1400UT, but didn't maintain it and eventually disappeared





Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):



738 Tahiti  man in FF 1354UT




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or

the above, passing through

guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music) :

(yes the antennas were still up when it got light...)

At several checks after 1400UT this morning, things were fairly 
abysmal.   Then, a quick (10 minutes?) sunrise boost started around 
1530UT,bringing several upper band stations to at least some audio 
traces.  But the bottom dropped out at 1540UT; one minute I was 
listening to the first bars of the Japanese anthem on 1602, the next, 
even 1566 had gone.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
briefly):

too much to hope for



reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):

1566 HLAZ man in CC 1536UT


not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be

understood by a native speaker:

1593 CNR1 man and woman in CC //6125 1538UT


Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by
cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) :

1278  man talking, maybe CC cadence???   and no 1287 didn't appear at 
all this morning
1602 NHK2 light mx, then man talking  1537UT; first bars of JJ anthem 
at 1540, then the bottom dropped out



Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):

1242 1296 1323 1404 (quite strong, but still no audio) 1503

Nick
