Unlike Dennis, I was rather impressed with what I heard.  I have to break it into 2 sessions.  I didn't start until 13:16 (although the faithful Perseus was at it from 12:58).  Between 13:16 and 13:41, I band scanned from 531 up to 1701 using my "W" wire exclusively (334 deg), and from 13:42 to PAST 14:00! I used either my ALA 100 or S wire (244 deg).  I found plenty of good audio on the bottom half of the band.  "Early" indicates Asian reception...ie CC, KK, or JJ while "late" will indicate DU reception.  "6" unless otherwise noted:

531 (late)
558:  7 early
567:  8 early, 7 late  (to explain further, this indicates 2 different stations with an Asian station early, and DU later...got the picture?)
576:  7 early, 9 late (ABC at 13:46)
585:  7 both early and late
594:  8 early (NHK1), and 6 late
603:  9 early
612:  9 late (Brisbane).  Still an 8 at 14:03!
621:  6 (seeing 2 carriers on Perseus:  621 and 620.908) early
639:  7 early 6 late
657, 666:  early
702:  6 early, 7 late
711:  7 early
720:  N. Korean easily visible on Perseus early
738:  CC early at 8, 2NR Grafton 8 at 13:51 (late)
747:  JJ early at 8
756:  7 early (music) and 6 late
765:  6 early
774:  9 early JJ, 7 late
783:  6 early
792:  8 early KK, 8 late (Brisbane)
801, 819:  early
828:  JJ at 9 early
837:  7 early
846
855:  N. Korea at 7.5 early
873:  JJ at 8 early
891:  7 early, 7 late (4TAB?).  This alone indicates good conditions as usually 891 is wiped out by my local (only a few km from me and aimed right at me) Village 900.
963:  9 early with CC programming (not the CRI RR) and cochannel music, 6 late
972:  As close to a perfect 10 as possible with KK chanting (heard the same yesterday, I think)
1008:  8 with music early
1017, 1026, 1044:  all early
1053:  KK talk >> jamming at 13:34 (early) at 7
1143:  7 early
1161:  early at 6, late at 6 (?NZ)
1170:  CC cochannel KPUG at 7 early (13:37)
1188:  early
1278:  7 early
1287:  7 early
1314:  early
1322:  just the faintest of carriers for Guy's mystery station at 13:38
1440:  JJ at 8 early (13:40)
1503:  6 early and late (13:59)
1566:  7 early (13:41) with HLAZ
1575:  VOA at 7 early (13:41)
1665:  6 level audio from DU late...first time this season
1701:  6 level audio at 14:00 (late) with 3 carriers almost equal strength on Perseus SDR:  1701.006, 1701.031, and 1701.048.

Overall, then, a very decent morning.  Will look forward to hearing how John Bryant, and perhaps Colin did this morning!  .....Walt
