Interesting to see you've heard Dongfang on 603 Bruce. That (or at least CRI on 603) turned up here at home in the fall of 2009 (those were the days!), but I'm still wondering whether their directional pattern goes wonky from time to time, as they're supposed to be beamed due south and we're

Rather late, but it was a busy day after the morning's DX session.The session was a little odd, in that there weren't a lot of strong signals, and a couple of the CNR1 stations were at similar levels to some of the big Japanese guns at certain times. Yes, some Chinese were doing well, but

Gary, it was my first morning at Rockwork south of Cannon Beach using the FSL antenna! First of all, I had set my alarm for 5:15 to give plenty of time to set up and get out there (about a 15 or 20 minute drive). Unfortunately, the alarm didn't go off, and I awoke at 6:15 instead. Quickly dashin

Hi Bruce, <<< It was a nice morning in Grayland, too, where Chuck, Tom, and I are feasting on TPs. >>> It's great that you, Chuck and Tom are having fun at Grayland-- and it seems like you guys picked the perfect time for ocean beach DXing (considering the current solar cycle realities).

I found the TPs significantly down on yesterday, with audio from only a few. (Japan on 594,774,828, Korea on 1566, and VOA Thailand on 1575). Once again VOA went against the trend, as it was actually better than yesterday. Obviously some factor is at work there that I don't understand!
