Tuned 530 kHz at 0530 UT and hearing a woman in Spanish singing underneath local TIS station WPVS 690 Ridgefield, WA. Continuous loop of WPVS 690 ID with a S-9 signal. Estimate the Spanish speaking station to be S-2 signal strength. Assuming that this is Cuba. It's a shame that these Washington

Definitely back to Asian, but except for the Japanese big guns, still pretty erratic. Those big guns were showing themselves as early as 1030UT, but at 1200UT, there was weak Aussie pips on both 774 and 828 mixing with NHK2, and all pretty weak. Things seemed to peak between 1330 and 1345UT

When the big carrier on 1566 started to have traces of audio, I was sure I finally had an Asian.At least, until it strengthened and instead I heard Aussie-accented ads. Overall, 3NE is a far rarer catch here than Korea, except in this unusual season. Another batch of DUs this morning

The Japanese big guns were out in force this morning as Asian propagation continued to improve, with a generous sunrise enhancement boosting up the relatively obscure Taiwan station 738-BEL2 to its best level of the new season (fair). Despite this the usual Koreans on 558, 603, 657 and 972 seeme
