As usual, it was a very rough psychological transition to go from enjoying awesome DU-DX at an ocean side cliff.to end up looking for big gun Asians in the noise at a mediocre inland location. The temptation to write off the entire effort and continue file review from the recent Rockwork trip wa

After a tough psychological transition from being an ocean cliff DU-DXer it was back to the humble reality of chasing anemic Asians from a lackluster inland location. As if to emphasize the point the Asians didn't sound very healthy, with the exception of the 1053-Jammer and a somewhat energetic

Hello All,   Thanks to Colin for the initial report on the outstanding performance of his new N/NW flag antenna (and I look forward to the full report). Asian signals were seriously improved this morning, with the Japanese big guns especially vibrant. 594-JOAK was the star performer here, alt

Hello All, The 5 Radio Rossii Longwave TP's were back with good strength, but 164 and 209 kHz both stayed at threshold audio again. On medium wave it was a good morning here for Asiatic TP's in general, with 936-Anhui having its first decent Chinese audio for the new season. 657-Pyongyang's Korea

Heh, Gary, the neighbors already have to put up with a 30' wooden mast at the back of the lot, and they haven't turned me in yet. In fact, one even commented that with the various antennas and supports draped around it, that it looked like the rigging of a sailboat. This is a good fantasy to enc

Hi Nick, Well, the Chinese TP's aren't exactly booming in here, either-- their strength sounds pretty anemic, compared to this time last year. And the threshold audio on 756, 936 and 1377 kHz is ghostlike at best. I did make a recording of Chinese audio on 738-BEL2 this morning, which was t

Hello All, Yesterday's improved TP propagation didn't extend until today, but there were a few isolated signals that were better than ever. 738-BEL2 in Penghu, Taiwan had its first fair audio of the season, with Chinese pop music and speech in and out around 1310. 756 and 936 kHz had weak
