Definite improvement this morning. NHK2 signed off again at 1440UT, but with considerably more zip than previous days: JOUB-774 was at good level; 747 and 828, fair; 702 and 873 poor; but all audible, as were their carriers later, when my actual monitoring period started, one hour before

With sunrise now getting earlier again, I've started listening a little earlier also. Today that was the time to hear some stronger signals as well. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 567 JOIK man in Japanese 1521UT //594 639 CNR1

It looked like a pretty good morning on the signal strength monitor, with occasional second tier channels showing some signs of life. Unfortunately, the drive that accumulates the SDR files decided that today it wanted to have a problem recording them. So it was just live listening around

By January standards, this was a lively morning, with several odd DUs in addition to the usual Japanese big guns. Some enhancement near sunrise, but plenty going on earlier also. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB slow piano

It's already been said, nothing like yesterday, butnot bad by this midwinter's very truncated standards. Again, the bulk of the action was between 1400 and 1500UT pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB apparently talking to

Closer to Bruce's planet this morningthere was a little bit of life between 1300 and 1400UT, pretty dead afterwards, with a top band sunrise boost around 1540UT. 1575 was also the kingpin here, though both the pattern changes at 1500:15 and 1529:47 had a bit of a gentle change to them,

Ouch. I noticed that the DX Fishbarrel was showing a good bit of color at about 1315UT, but just crawling out of bed meant that I didn't quite leap off to the radio. Probably should have, as once again, conditions did a slide. Even by 1410UT, all that was left was a few of the big guns.
