Conditions decayed again; Alberta and Victoria were on the same page, but at least China was still a little audible, and maybe Vietnam. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK 1545UT 774 JOUB 1519UT Reasonable audio at times

Believe it or not, there was a touch of audio on the recordings, but there was no sunrise enhancement today. With a stiff wind blowing, it was easy to believe that the antennas were in a heap on the ground, except domestics were as loud as ever. pretty darn good audio (all of it

My SDR recordings weren't much different from what Nick reported. Today I had fragmentary audio on 774 and 1566 at around 1300. Also traces of real or imaginary audio on 747 and 972. I wondered for a while if I had my antenna switch in the wrong position, but everything was set up
