I'd been meaning to comment on Nigel's GREAT morning on Oct. 21...
That was a real peak here, too... but MAN I've have rather heard
Nigel's stations!
Urumqi, as the capitol of Xinjiang province is a nasty industrial city
from what I hear, but it is surrounded by some of the most exotic
cultures imaginable, both modern and very ancient... A few others in
the NW have heard Urumqi, but not me..... and then there is Sri Lanka.
Wow!
Great going, Nigel... those would be worth celebrating on SWBC, much
less MW!

With the lack of TAs, I actually have time to post my observations of
this morning.
A rather unusual one here, as it seemed the over the pole signals
were favoured. Highlights:
1548 - DW Sri Lanka with bits and pieces of German from 1300 past 1345.
1521 - CRI Russian in nicely. Far better than //1323
1134 - CNR1 in quite nicely, with virtually no Korean QRM. My main
problem was an unusual one, trying to find a CNR1 parallel on MW
1107 - Urumqi in unID language with good signal
873 - Another station was fading in and out with the Japanese,
playing EZL music with some talk by a woman.
Not a lot of signals, but the ones that were in were interesting.
