One has to be careful about listening too intently to any Pyongyang music - it has an odd hypnotic ability to get you heaping praise upon the great leader and despots like him... POTUS seems to be a fan of Kim and Vladimir - so I suspect he may have spent some time tuning 657, 819 and 855. I’ll

Recently Colin posted a YouTube video including pretty clear reception of 657-Pyongyang BS in Victoria-- an impressive accomplishment when DXing so close to 650-Vancouver. Although Puyallup is a far inferior location and this QTH currently suffers from some neighbor-emitted RFI, it has always

Thanks for the sunrise TP-DX report from Victoria, Nick, which was very interesting by comparison. <<< Just about the time the sun came up so did some pretty unusual DX, and it was in an out for another half hour. NHK1 on 1224, CNR6 on 1089, that sort of thing. Not quantity perhaps, but certainly

There's sunrise enhancement, and then there is sunrise enhancement. You're right about things fizzling out Gary, especially past 1500UT. Sunrise is at 1530UT here. Just about the time the sun came up so did some pretty unusual DX, and it was in an out for another half hour. NHK1 on 1224,

Hi Craig and All, Unfortunately, sunrise enhancement seemed to be somewhat of a dud here. TP signals seemed to be scared off by the light, like in a bad vampire movie. The Korean signals on 603 (S6), 657 (S9) and 972 (S7) that were so potent from 1200-1300 fizzled down to barely readable arou

Amazing transoceanic DX signals can still be received, even during unfavorable solar year seasons. Three days ago the bizarre 657-Pyongyang managed an S9 level at this mediocre location, which (upon review of all the MP3 files recorded here over the past 9 years) was the strongest signal that th
