Well, they were predicting a geomagnetic upset. But, not yet. Still pretty
lively this morning.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
briefly):
774 JOUB 1422UT
1575 VoA powering in at 1439UT with man in Burmese per announcement at 1430UT;
Further sedate conditions before sunrise today, although there were quite a lot
of carriers near audio, that at some point might have briefly been in audio.
The second tier stations today were Chinese and Taiwanese rather than Japanese
for the most part.
As Bruce points out, conditions seem
Didn't get a chance to post any results yesterday, ( and today was a
victim of equipment/operator error) , but as Nick notes it was a morning
above the recent average. Here is Alberta the low band wasn't doing a
lot, just the big guns from Japan with so-so signals, but the upper
band was
Definitely more than met the ear today. After 1400UT, several
channels had at least two stations on them, most weak, lots of
carriers, many that turned out to have bits of audio if one listened
to them long enough. Oddly, the big guns didn't often deliver big

strength, followed by a further drop off after 1330UT, with a brief
revival of the old predictables just after 1400UT

Another interesting morning, pretty hot around 1200UT, though mostly
the regulars, varying signals after that, though never really
dead, finishing off with CNR1-945 well after local sunrise.

Another dreadful morning, unless you wanted to listen to Thailand on
1575, in which case, it was a wonderful morning, with strong steady
