One odd thing: no time pips on the NHK stations at 1000 and 1100 today. At 1100 JOIB had a woman talking across the top of the hour without interruption. Similar story at 1000 - JOBB was the only one with reasonable audio at the time, but no pips were noted and they should have been clearly audible. CBU KXL KTTH KGO etc were all running legal IDs and news at the right times, so the time stamps on my recordings were correct. I don't recall ever noticing this in the past. NHK's time pips are normally there all the time every time.

Obviously the time to listen for them....it's approaching 1500UT here, and I won't say the Japanese are completely absent, but they're in spectacularly poor shape. 774 was being heard here better last night at 0630UT. For those that care, they start fading in about that time at this time of year, so you don't have to stay up late.best wishes, Nick At 09:36 11-12-10, you wrote:Bruce, Quite a few JJs are in here too, 531, 567, 594, 666, 693, 702, 729, 747, 774, 828, 873, 891, 1278, 1287, etc. 774 is the strongest so far. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager
