Managed three (apparently) DU audios: 702 at 1205UT, 792 at 1209UT, and 774 at 1215UT. All were deeply in the murk, and required a bit of preamplification to be sure these weren't imaginary.

Further monitoring of 774 indeed revealed English audio at 12:00 for me and building a bit for a few minutes beyond. Sure enough, audio was better on 792 with ABC jingle at 12:00. 702 had nothing at 12:00, but when I forwarded to 12:03 there was the same English audio again. Say, this is easy fellas.....you guys provide the frequencies and times, and I then check them at my leisure! In any case, signals were never better than a very weak 7, and otherwise mostly 6's........Walt.
