Of course, Nigel's DU's ignored this pedestrian location on their.way to Alberta this morning (so what else is new?). What seemed like miserable Asian propagation around 1330 improved somewhat with a dramatic daybreak boost to the big guns on 594, 693 and 972 around 1345, resulting in overall

The Asians definitely didn't understand ionospheric absorption this morning in Victoria either, Gary. Full report later, but the big guns in the low band remained big, and there was quite a good mix of second tier stations as well as you report; also, the collapse at 1400UT was similar. I

Gary: Very good. It was a quiet morning on the southern Great Plains. The only thing heard was a weak carrier on 1548 kHz in KQNM slop before sunrise. I like to think it was from Queensland. A check of 1611 found only Spanish, probably CHHA, or possibly XEUACH. I can't find an audio

I haven't seen any other TP-DX reports this morning, so maybe it was another session limited to Puyallup and Victoria? In any case the Asians weren't slowed down at all here by any solar activity, managing another good sunrise enhancement session all across the band (on a 5" FSL antenna). The

Hello All, Asian signals continued to slide into mediocrity this morning, with decent audio limited to a few big guns. Whereas yesterday featured some vibrant NHK1 stations on the low band, this morning they stayed at an anemic level like everyone else. The high point of the mediocre morning
