Of the Asians, only 747//774 made it into listenable audio, and 774 was fighting it out with the Aussie the entire half hour before dawn. The only even threshold audio above 972 was probable DU on 1512 and very poor 1566 and 1575.

For instance, that is what happened for about 5 minutes yesterday. However, today, there were several DUs in audio a half hour before LSR and they just kept getting better... 612 Brisbane was the pick of the litter, scoring a very listenable 8 near dawn. Others at least making it to language recognition level were 702 Sydney, 738 (both Grafton and Tahiti), 837 (Rockhampton????)and 1512 Newcastle.

No listening today, being called to the labour delivery at 04:00 local, and back at 7:25 local. As (bad) luck would have it, I had the Perseus TOH recorder on using the western loop, so I don't have much hope that there'll be much there....Walt
