I think your sunrise is about 7 minutes before Victoria's, Gary; my 
listening was around 1415UT, when, except for the big Japanese, 
conditions weren't really great (well, 279 was about the best I've 
heard it this season, which isn't saying very much, but still; then 
there was Morioka, weak but clearish on 531....so maybe it wasn't too 
bad).  Then I seriously listened from 1500 to 1530UT, and that was 
better, especially on the upper band.  The propagation monitor said 
that things were generally stronger than yesterday also.

Main point of interest was audio on 1395, not great, but enough to 
hear a woman singing; sounded oriental.  1395 is a pretty dead 
channel here normally.

So, overall: (Asian unless noted)

Darn good audio, if briefly:  828 earlier

Reasonable audio  (though often battling w/splash)  594, 639 CNR1, 
774, and 1566 which had a huge carrier as well.

Not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 279, 
567, 738 DU, 693, 747 though generally poorer especially compared 
with the other two big NHK2 guns, 1395, 1475

Burbles in the splatter:  189, 531 (JJ at 1414UT, mixing with ADK 
beacon), 612 DU, 621, 675, 702, 837, 855 with hum, 864, 936, 945, 999 
w/hum (!), 1134, 1287 seemed to be two signals, 1368, 1503, 1575

strong carrier, no audio:  972, 1206 off channel, likely China,  1269, 1323


best wishes,

Nick
