Despite Colin's luck, my read is that things weren't a whole lot
better than yesterday. Definitely no where near as good as last
week or two. I started at 13:03 and listened past 14:00. Plenty of
audio, but most lacked the punch of a really good morning. A very
modest DU enhancement close to 14:00, past LSR. LW Russians weren't
very good either. Here's my take, with "6" unless otherwise noted:
153, 171, 189, 279: LW Russians with 153 the best and 279 the worst!
164: 6 level possible Mongolia
529: SQM virtually absent today. Not a good sign.
531: Agree with Colin that this one was pretty good today at 8
level DU at 13:17 with music
540: Never eaked out Rhema today.
558: Asian with music at 13:23
567: Did hear NHK1 at 13:24 at 7- level.
576: Russian regular. Nothing at 13:20, but a solid 9 at 13:26.
May indicate disturbed conditions. Probably my most regular "semi-
exotic" TP this season. DU at 8 level at 14:00.
594: NHK1 at 8 to 9 level early, Australia at 14:02 // 612 with news.
603: pres KBS2 at 13:27 8 level.
612: 8 level Brisbane at 14:00.
639: 7 level early, presumably CC
657: North Korea with it's usual tirade at 13:29 8 level.
675: VoV at 7 level early, ?DU at 14:04 but too weak to be sure.
720: North Korea heard at 719.9 at 13:32 at 7 level. Comment: My
take is that N.Korea is a bit weaker (as is S. Korea) compared to
last season.
729: ?North Korea too? 7 level.
738: CC //1143 at 13:36 at 9 level (another really strong regular
this year).
747: NHK2 at 7 only early.
756: low modulation not JJ at 7 level early.
765
774: 9 level JJ
783
792: KK at 7 level
828: JJ at 8 level early. Late I see 2 signals causing het on
828.0 and 827.897 (at 14:06).
837
846: 7 level early
855: N. Korea on 855.05 but only a 6
891, 909, 918, 927
936: 9 level CC at 13:48. Also a regular this year at good
levels. Presumably Anhui?
963: CRI Russian early at 8 level. Also not as good as last year.
972: KK at 9 level early
1017: CC at 8 level early
1053
1089: CC at 7 level 13:52
1098: Big OC
1143: music at 7 level early
1152, 1161
1170: CC clearly audible under the very clean signal of KPUG at
13:54. I'll call it an 8.
1251: A jumble here today at 13:55 with 3 tx seen on 1251.027,
1251.004, and 1250.954
1287: JJ at 7 level
1440: JJ at 13:57 at 8 level.
1566: HLAZ at 8 level at 13:58 (stronger earlier)
1575: VOA at 7 level late (stronger earlier)
X-band: modest appearance with carriers noted on 1638, 1647, 1656
(almost audio). Weak audio on 1701 at 14:07
I was still hearing Brisbane weakly at 14:20.
Overall, at my QTH a very average morning. No surprises. .....Walt
