A good morning for Bill, and the same for me.  At least, the Asiatics were very good, while the DU only made a very modest appearance.  What stuck out for me was how long the JJ stations hung in.....right until the end virtually.  This has not been the pattern up to now where the Asiatics dominate earlier, while the DU clearly take over at dawn.  I wouldn't have predicted this with the A/K indices of 14/3....not really perfect for TPs, and I might have expected the DU to perform a bit better under these conditions, but they didn't!
Lot's of audios this morning, and many at good levels.  Here's the catch with no comment indicating a 6:

153
189 (7)
279
529 SQM with a 7 late
530 ADK great signal earlier
531  noted by it's absence this morning.
558  EZL music at 13:14 with a 7.  I'm guessing HLQH
567 JOIK at a 7
585 JOPG weakly heard // to JOAK
594  JOAK at 13:10 with a good 8
612  4QR  a 7 at best at 13:22
639  strongish carrier but no audio today from presumed Radio Fiji
675  pres 3YA at 13:42 with a 7 to 8.  Best of the bunch for DU.  Question:  Where's Vietnam this year?  Last year they were regular visitors here.
693 JOAB with an 8 at 13:09.  I knew it would be a good morning when I can hear them under the CBU 690 splatter!
711  a 7.  ?KK.  Would have been a nice signal if not for the big splatter from 710.
738  pres. KK at 13:03 at a 7
747 JOIB at same time and still there at 13:40 at a 7
756
765 South (244 deg) wire only at 13:40, pres DU
774  JOUB strong 8 at 13:01
828 JOBB 8 to 9 early, and still an 8+ at 13:36
837 snippets of audio late at 13:37  ?who
855  weakly heard at 13:35 
873 JOGB early and still there at 13:34 with a 7
963  CRI Russian a 7 early
972 HLCA at 12:55 with an 8 to 9
1053  jammer at 12:52 with a 6
1242
1269
1278
1314
1323  CRI Russian at 12:45.  Nice solid 7, and better at times than the usual dominant 963
1386  late audio at 13:27, presumably Auckland
1413 at 12:42  ?who
1475  Malaysia a 6 at 13:23....they always appear later when propagation allows
1503  DU at 13:26
1566  Huge signal from HLAZ at 13:25
1575  VOA Thailand also big 8 at 12:37 and still going at 13:24


That's the haul.  I'm pleased..........Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
