TP's weren't very good here today. I had sort of OK audio on 972 and 1566, but that was about it. The 1476 carrier was in once again, but it wasn't strong enough to produce anything recognizable. Other than that, there were only a few weak carriers here and there. Conditions were definitel

A bit better than yesterday, and strictly Asian, as others noted. A check at 1200 showed 747 and 774 doing well, but 747 actually went downhill from there. Things peaked just before 1300 today, with audio from Japan on 693 (very weak(, 747, 774, and 1287. The only other audio was VOA on 1

A quick glance at things before 1300UT showed the usual Asians in reasonably well, but they faded rather as 1330UT approached, building again somewhat after 1340, so maybe that qualifies for sunrise enhancement; it's certainly when I heard most of the weaker signals noted below. Once again, sig

Hello All, As propagation matched the solar conditions there was a general improvement in big gun Asiatic signals here this morning, but unfortunately the overall boost didn't seem to entend to any new or obscure stations. The usual Korean mega-stations (657, 972, 1053 and 1566) had the be

I was listening on and off between 1340 and 1405... there were some spikes in signal strength on 747, 774 and 828 - and the appearance of some hets around sunrise enhancement - but I would describe it as a fail day... > Conditions seemed to have picked up somewhat from yesterday with a solid > p

Conditions seemed to have picked up somewhat from yesterday with a solid performance from the first tier Japanese stations, HLCA 972 and HLAZ 1566 from Korea, and to a lesser extent some of the Chinese stations. Not a peep from DU today. 1575 VOA also heard quite well at times. Another observati
