Walt - Masset is always good! Some ideas: 1008: there are 2 other Australians with horse racing. It's very likely that this 4TAB, but was it parallel to 891? 1296: RN shouldn't be parallel to the ABC Local Radio 1233 outlet. 765: NK was only logged once in 2003 from Grayland and no trace of it since.. 1269: the long time regular at Grayland is the HBC station parallel to 1287.

My cottage is located on the ocean, and is 70 km due south of Ketchikan, AK, the nearest city to my QTH. On this visit, I started with my usual ALA 100 LN permanently mounted in a large diameter aimed NE/SW, and my favourite antenna, the 750’+ BOG aimed to the NW. After several days, and especially when a large geomagnetic storm hit, favouring signals to the south (ie Australia/NZ), I also added my DKAZ aimed at the east coast of Australia, and a due north mini-Beverage of about 450’ in length, in case there were any Euro openings. Conditions were definitely challenging, owing to the solar conditions. Nonetheless, it was fun hearing 4MK 1026 from Australia at armchair level during the peak of the storms. My receiver set up, are 2 Perseus SDRs, with one dedicated exclusively to Mestor (timed recordings of the entire MW and LW band), while the other is for live DXing. An AOR 7030+ receiver is also used, primarily to record interesting programs (like the several Indonesians on the tropical bands).As always, lots of fun, especially with the near zero noise floor. Now, if I could just get internet access! Having just returned from Masset, please let me know if there are any errors or omissions/corrections. Returning home this time was a 3 day journey, leaving Thursday afternoon to catch the overnight ferry to the mainland, then another full day and night on the same ferry coming down to the north tip of Vancouver Island at Port Hardy, and another 6+ hour drive home to the opposite end of the island to Victoria! 73, Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC AUSTRALIA 1008, 1454-, 4TAB Radio Tab Mar 27 Briefly at fair/good level with racing play by play, then faded. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) AUSTRALIA 1233, 1400-, 2NC Mar 27 What an amazing morning. One of those, 'what happened to my antenna?'. Almost total absence of the normal TPs. Instead, DU is present, but not super strong. There are some unusual stations, such as 1233, which I don't usually associate with DU with ABC fanfare and news. Good reception. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) AUSTRALIA 1296, 1405-, 6RN Mar 27 In parallel to just mentioned 1233, so it's likely an ABC station. There's also another station cochannel, though, so either 4RPH, Brisbane or Newstalk, Hamilton NZ. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) AUSTRALIA 1611, 1417-, Vision Radio Network Mar 29 More returning to 'normal' conditions with predominantly Asian conditions, ecept that all 4 antennas seemed to be close to identical in receiving signals this morning. It's as if there was a scatter service for the signals. No one antenna was 'best' across the spectrum. They all worked rather well. Today was the best X-band opening. Audio on most of the channels. 1611 had it's usual number of stations, all off frequency. 1610.896 (fair strength), 1610.930 (fairly strong), 1610.983 (weaker), then a smudge between 1610.994 to 1611.004...presumably a number of stations thre, 1611.013, and 1611.023 (medium strength). Mostly English talk, so I'm assuming Vision Radio Network here, was the dominant station(s). (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) CHINA 1017, 1557-, CRI Mar 26 Clearly a language service at first with excellent levels, then faded, but at end of program, I could clearly hear 'CRI' given a number of times. PAL only lists Jilin with CRI programming and in Korean, but only between 11:00 to 15:00 UTC. Off by an hour here. Interesting that there was nothing over the 16:00 TOH, though!

The bands are best (what there is of them) in the lower half. Japan is very modestly present with the first tier stations only (594, 693,747, 828, etc). A weird morning! Rechecking a few minutes later, at 14:44 and very nice signal now. Same genre music. One of the strongest stations of the morning from DU. I went back and listened again to 801 at up to 15:00 UTC.

Walt, I'm not so sure that there is a 765 in North Korea. I mean, I know technically there should be, but I've never *once* heard it, just like 882. It was just never, ever there. A lot of the stations were off for many months at a time, but these two frequencies never appeared even after they fired up everything on their soil at once for New Years Day 2016. I didn't really monitor 765 actively (you can see it doesn't even appear in my guide, aside from 765 Daejeon in the daytime, and I couldn't hear that clearly from 60 miles away at night), mainly because it was too trashed that I could never get a stable signal.
