Interesting. The LUF has very pretty low these few days, long after sunrise
and before sunset. I can hear Koreans on my car radio two hours before the
sun goes down. Yesterday around 0800-0900 (5-6 p.m. LT) here in the Far
East we had a good 49m long path opening for Europe, as well as North and
South Americas.

GERMANY/PORTUGAL 6075 Deutsche Welle via Wertachtal, Germany, and Sines,
Portugal. 0630-0640 world news in German, ID "Deutsche Welle." Good long
path European opening today, SIO 232 //6140 SIO 343 (!) also long path from
Nauen, Germany. (Ashimori Nov 30)

USA 5985 WYFR (presumed) 0640-0645 Christian hymns and English religious
talk. SIO 232. (Ashimori Nov 30)

CANADA 6160 CKZN (presumed) 0645-0658 Comedy show in English with lots of
laughs. SIO 333-232. Faded out when NHK came on at 0658 on 6165. (Ashimori
