Craig, Thanks for another great, detailed TP-DX report from Kalaloch. This is one of the most extensive ocean coast session reports that I've ever seen from a live DXer. <<< This morning’s session saw a nice uptick in TP stations received. For a minute I was wondering if this location

Asian conditions were very similar to yesterday's here, with exceptional Japanese big gun signals (on 594 and 693) along with good audio from 603 (HLSA) and 738. The high band signals on 1566, 1575 and 1593 were also in play once again, with a generous daybreak boost peaking around 1345. Once

from DX reported on 18 March 2018: 864 JOHE? Although at poor strength, woman was reading slow call letters, sounding like JOHE, before 2 and 1 pips at 1400UT. JOHE however is part of the HBC group and I don't think I've heard them using call letters, plus it's only 3 kw from an interior

That audio’s kind of rough Gary. Wouldn’t hazard a guess at the language - though it’s NOT Mandarin. ;-) In going thru Grayland wav files from a month back I found 1143 going out of Mandarin and into what appeared to be Tagalog or some other Philippino dialect. I can’t recall the time now.
