Unfortunately, I wasn't listening after 14:00, but I did record several mornings for 5 minutes around 12:00, 13:00 and 14:00.  Overall, pretty dismal with very little to hear.  On the 3rd and 4th, I did hear 594, 621, 639, and 774.  On the 2nd, I heard the same, plus 657, 180, 189, and 279.  All

Gary hit the nail on the head concerning sunrise enhancement this morning, though I don't think I can claim to hear the some of the stations that he did...VoR-648, VoV-675, Taiwan Fisheries-738 are usually conspicuous by their absence herebut hearing the Chinese on 1593 at 1500UT, well that

A couple of thoughts - I have two sons, in their early 30's, both of whom were in varying degrees exposed to AM DX, but it didn't take. Computers and internet were always more interesting to them, as were pm3 players, CD's etc. FM is alo always a very viable alternative or supplement to AM DX'in

Les/Robbie, Here, in the land of the WORLD CHAMPION SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (can you tell I'm happy and proud), if I mention my hobby to someone, they immediately shrug their shoulders and say "I can get that on the internet." I don't think most younger people have the interest to listen to anything
