Because of a fussy Sun it was a good morning here for sleeping late. The only signals were hets from Asia on 558 and 828 kHz. There was a brief barely audible signal on 774 kHz at 1257 GMT. Meanwhile it was a good night for hearing signals from the Canadian prairie provinces and North Dakota.

Rather awesome DX from QC, Sylvain. We've had 1521 China from Newfofundland - seems to make it almost every trip out there - but it's not exactly a slam dunk. Did you wait patiently for Saudi Arabia to fade down or was China alone or otherwise dominant? I wonder how far inland this one could

Saudi Arabia wasn't so dominant surprisingly in my recordings. I usually have a better copy of BSKSA using the 55° Beverage but when cx are favourable, the 35° wire is much more interesting to stick with bringing much more surprises while leaving Spaniards in the null. The noise floor is also
