For me at least, it wasn't as good today as previous days, but still OK.
I listened live 1255-1315 and recorded other times on the SDR. Highlights from live listening.
- I used 594 to ID NHK1 //s on 567 585 666 and 729, all of which were weak or had domestic splat.
- 738 sounded Korean again. I'm surprised everyone else usually hears Taiwan.
- low band was good, upper band poor
- 657 was good w/the usual angry tirade
More details later tonight.
