Although the big gun Asians were the only energetic TP's once again this
morning the session did at least have more drama than yesterday, with the low
band Asians receiving a sharp daybreak boost to rise from nothing up to pretty
decent levels. The final result was more variety than yesterday, w
It was still a majority Asian morning here in Victoria, Gary, though
I don't recall much zip from HLCA-972. Around local sunrise, there
was a little evidence of New Zealand (756 and 909), but not at much

Only JOUB eked out a het around 1225, barely. Suffice it to say, the band was

The 738 signal is fairly common here during good Asian conditions, and anything
other than Chinese would probably stand out like a sore thumb. The 1143
parallel is far less common here, though, seeming to avoid this area in favor

A slight improvement on yesterday, with three stations in audio,
though none very strong. Once again all DU, as the Asians have been

Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by
