Nick,
It's amazing how long range transoceanic signals favor one local location over
another. The second tier Japanese avoid this location like the plague, but the
Koreans and Chinese pound right in. Unlike Victoria, New Zealand has never
shown up here on MW-- maybe that's why the Rockwork clif

I had parked the SDR on 1386 hoping for a repeat of last night, but no
luck, I'm afraid. The fishbarrel looks pretty dead...Walt

Victoria may have the TA's and DU's, but this inland valley didn't come away empty during the enhanced propagation overnight. Starting at 1030 UTC the Asian mainland TP's went on a rampage, with 603-HLSA, 657-Pyongyang and 738-BEL2 all hitting S9+ levels at some point during the extended sessi

Certainly an exciting morning, and rather unusual in that the DX
seemed to coming from everywhere - New Zealand, Western Australia,
Tonga, China, Korea, and Japan were all in, along with a booming signal
from VOA on 1575, which has been MIA here in Alberta.

Well, correct that slightly. There were a couple of men struggling
through the splash on 1413 at 0352UT, and that's not a channel I've
heard audio on here. So, there may be hope.

Same in Victoria so far Nigel; just carriers. The only odd one was

Nothing like last night going on here in Alberta. A reasonable
number of carriers, but only 1413 has had any audio, and that was far
inferior to yesterday

Hi Nick,
Nice catches! Just out of curiosity, did you hear those on your north antenna?
I’m debating on setting up a short (~35 ft. X 14ft.) flag or corner-fed loop.

The best TA opening of the season saw a prior appointment on my
calendar, and said, "tonight's the night".
Fortunately, the SDR and the DX Fishbarrel did some heavy lifting
while I was out, plus, things hadn't quite died when I returned around 0450UT.
855 was the winner with readable Spanish
Listening this week, both 1350 and 1670 are not working well, maybe left
over from last month's weather event. Both have been fully operational, OC
only, and fully off. Not at same times l think.
One of them has had the carrier flickering off for a sec or 2 but did not

Like Walt, I was pretty much stunned at the Asian signal levels this morning
after 1400. 603-HLSA, 657-Pyongyang and 738-BEL2 were all hitting S9+ levels in

behind. 756, 936, 963 and 1035 were all in audio, and even a 5"
