Hello Nick,
As both you and Bill have noted, the TP conditions took a serious dive this
morning. As opposed to great conditions on a near-barefoot Tecsun PL-380
early yesterday morning (with a simple Litz wire substitution), this morning
around 0900 UTC the Asians certainly didn't sound very vibrant.
Weak audio was observed intermittently on the modified PL-380 around 0915
on 594, 747, 828 and 972 kHz, but it was nothing to shout about. 738 kHz
was close to audio (with an Asian bearing, presumably Taiwan Fisheries), and
1566 came pretty close also.
This was in great contrast to early yesterday morning, with solid TP audio
on about 7 TP's from 1030-1115 (including 1134-KBS), all on a Tecsun
PL-380 with substituted 40/44 Litz wire. The Asian sunset propagation boost
apparently went well beyond 1115, (although my sleepy motivation did not :-)
It was really the best DXing session all month, and hopefully will be
repeated very soon.

Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick)
ULR receiver: Modified Tecsun PL-380 (40/44 Litz wire wound on stock
ferrite bar)

As Bill noted, conditions were down this morning. I didn't listen as much
as yesterday, on and off between 1510 and 1545UT. One apparent DU noted
on 612; I've never thought of the ABC stations as heavily modulated, but
this one seems to deliver audio with a weaker carrier than is the case with
most of the Asiatics.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at
least
briefly):
none
reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable
by a
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):
594 JOAK
774 JOUB
828 JOBB
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise
could be
understood by a native speaker
747 JOIB
972 HLCA
1503 JOUK //594 at 1540UT
1593 CNR-1 later on //6125
Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at
by
cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) :
279 R. Rossii
567 likely JOIK, but no parallel on 594 available at the times this was up
603 at 1538; Korea?
612 DU per the loop, so likely 4QR
639 seemed //6125 , so CNR-1
954 at 1534UT
1242 at 1539UT
1287 at 1539UT
1566 later on; usual big carrier
Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):
1098 DU; 1575
best wishes,
Nick
