A further decline in conditions, but considering the geomagnetic
upset, it was actually pretty good, though heavily weighted towards
Japan. As Gary noted, 1400UT pretty much defined the end of things.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker,
at least briefly):
Good to see the activity on 1701. Maybe some morning this will be good
enough to pull audio past KBGG 1700 slop here. I've had carriers as well
the past couple of days with the Brisvaani carrier usually being noticeably
stronger.

Hi Richard,
Yes, despite the solar activity the Asians showed up after all this morning
(although they took a while to get untracked).
Most of us are still pretty astonished that you receive the Asians so well in

More and more older stations are replacing their original transmitters.
Must be only a handful of old stations from the 40's and 50's still on the
air with their original transmitter, tower and site. I bet Scott Fybush has
that answer.

Other than in my own mind, I do not put “heards” or “think-I-heards” in my log.
For instance, I know I had Norway on 1314 a couple of years ago. My wife is of
Norwegian extraction. There wasn't enough audio for her to opine so I sent it

To me, a carrier doesn't go into the log, period. There has to be
identifiable audio. Certainly there is some difference of opinion within
the hobby as to what constitutes "identifiable audio", and I'm not going
into that here. I think that's for each DX'er to decide.

It appears you had a good morning there.
No TP or DU signals were heard here this morning. A signal traveling from
Japan or Korea would had to pass through the Auroral Oval on its way to my QTH.
Oddly, CHHA 1610 was still audible after sunrise.

When DXing, I might report a carrier as an aside, as an FYI type of thing
to others, especially if it's some rare signal or something I or others
have been hunting.
But unlike one very well known DX'er, I don't log a JBA carrier, assume
what station that is and put it in my "official" log. No...
What sounded like a fairly sedate band suddenly came to life during sunrise

I agree with Jim 100%. Detecting a carrier is not enough information for a
logging. You need to hear audio. Hearing and recording a local ID is
preferable but not 100% necessary. If you hear audio on a particular frequency
and find a shortwave parallel or
Hi Stan,
I think the answers from Jim and Richard encapsulate things pretty
well concerning "logging" based on hearing carriers or faint mumbling
on an unusual channel. There are likely those on the list who
wonder about the point of reporting overseas carriers, to the point
of thinking
Stan:
I do report hearing carrier signals and heterodynes to the group simply to
indicate propagation conditions at my QTH. But I don't claim them as new
stations heard unless there is something more than a whistle. That is why my
total stations logged is no greater than it is. I've
A carrier or weak audio may likely be a particular station, and if I have
previously logged it with IDable material I may presume that it's what I've
previously heard. So that's not claiming a new station, just reporting on
reception conditions. You could argue that a distinct known offset, like
I have been chasing DX for almost 50 years.
In ham radio, when I exchange signal reports with a DX station, I enter
the station in the log.
With one-way DX'ing (LW, MW, FM, TV, etc.), when I hear (or see) the
call sign of the DX station, I enter the station in the log.
But what about all

As others have noted, this morning wasn't quite as good as yesterday,
but was still pretty reasonable. Conditions did peter out sooner
today, so most decent loggings were before 1400UT
