We all seem to agree on that, Patrick.  Yep, I quite enjoyed the morning, monitoring between 13:08 and 14:30 UTC.  What was amazing for the morning compared to others this season is how long the opening continued.
I was still hearing NHK2 on 774 at 14:30, although this season 828 provides the best signal. Very nice English news from them at 14:08 this morning.  Up to now they've mostly faded out by the TOH.  Also a great dawn
enhancement at 14:00 brought a bunch more Japanese stations instead of the Australians which has been the case even yesterday.  A total of 27 audios plus 279 Russia:

540 NHK1,  567 JOIK very strong, 576 2RN nice signal very briefly around 13:50, 594 JOAK of course and still strong at 14:15, 612 presumed 4QR but weak today, 657 unid at 13:15, 675 presumed Vietnam, 719.94 weak audio at 13:57  I'm wondering about N. Korea, 738, 747 JOIB, 774 JOUB, 828 JOBB  very nice signal, 837, 855 presumed N.Korea, 873, 936 weak oriental talk at 13:22, 1044, 1053, 1134, 1143, 1197 pres JOWL, 1242 JOLR with a strong dawn enhancement after 14:00, 1287 JOHR presumed with same late enhancement, 1386 NHK2 at 13:34, 1503 NHK1 after 14:00, 1566 HLAZ  fantastic signal with ID at 13:44 before switching beams and descending into the mud.  Strongest heard this season.  1575 VOA Thailand also strong at 13:37.

All in all, not a bad morning!........Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
