Hi Nick,
Thanks for the interesting comparison.
I remember how much fun it was a year ago to chase TP's with the modest 3'
bedside loop, and finally be able to go after some of the Asiatic stations
that the "big three" TP-DXers (you, Walt and John) were hearing :-)
639-CNR1 seems to be missing in action so far this month, but the other
stations have at least put in an appearance here, usually at halfhearted
levels. Dennis seems to be doing very well, and his daily TP results seem to
follow the same propagation patterns as mine (as opposed to Steve and Nigel,
who seem to be DXing through a different ionesphere).
73, Gary

So actually his report this morning sounds pretty competitive. John
Bryant was hearing good stuff, but from a good location with big antennas.
And here's what Dennis heard tomorrow morning, one year ago:
>153 RUSSIA, 1200 fair with pips TOH and moderate noise.
>180 RUSSIA, 1209 very weak barely above noise level.
>234 RUSSIA, 1211 steady weak signal and less noise than above channels.
>279 RUSSIA, 1212 fair with music.
>666 JAPAN, JOBK 1217 weak over another station.
>693 JAPAN, JOAB, 1331 weak with woman in Japanese.
>738 JAPAN?, 1321 weak with Japanese music.
>774 JAPAN, JOUB 1221 fair with splatter.
>1053 KOREAS, 1230 jammer above faint audio.
>1134 CHINA, CRN1 1311-1316 good, best signal ever on this station.
> Woman/man in Chinese // 5030.
>1215 CHINA, 1240 weak with Chinese. First time this season.
>1278 JAPAN? 1242 threshold audio.
>1287 JAPAN, JOHR 1324 weak with man in Japanese.
>1422 JAPAN, JORF 1249 weak with music.

OK, guys, see what you can do tomorrow morning!
best wishes,
Nick

Asian/DU signals. Seems to me (relying only on memory) that those signals
were much better last year at this time. Then again, last year seemed to be
an excellent year for everything to the west.
