That set of conditions has not found its way across to more
northerly paths of the Pacific, Gary. Just a few carriers noted at
1500UT.
Incidentally, is Tonga-1017 leaving its carrier on these mornings?ÂÂ
In spite of poor conditions, that has been one of the stronger
carriers as local sunrise approaches, with no apparent modulation.
best wishes,
Nick

Yikes! The regular Pacific island DU's were overwhelmed with
monster signals from Japan, North Korea and China from 0730-1010
UTC, resulting in the wackiest TP-DXing session I've ever
experienced. The first sign of bizarre activity was 1440-JOWF
mixing with Kiribati in an S9 snarl around 0750, followed by a slew
of North Koreans pounding in on 657, 801, 810, 819 and 855
(complete with S.K. Jammers on 810 and 819). The Chinese crashed
the party from 0800-1000, with 981 and 999-CNR1 both well over S9,
while 621-China actually started pushing Tuvalu down into the
noise. 1440-Kiribati was diced by JOWF through the duration, but
the Chinese practically owned the band on the other frequencies,
with potent signals on 612, 621, 783, 792, 837, 909, 918, 927, 981,
999, etc. 846-Kiribati continued to have intermittent signals (one
MP3 had them dropping out 3 times within 15 seconds) while
621-Tuvalu had an intermittent garbled signal throughout the night.
No real time to sort out all th
Âe wacky snarls tonight, but here is 621-China doing its best to
crash the 621-Tuvalu sign off at 1005 in one of many S9 snarls,
complete with a garbled signal from Tuvalu during its national
anthem. At least Tuvalu manages to fight off China long enough to
get the (garbled) anthem through! (Sorry for the 1 kHz het- no time
to remove it tonight)
