[Dennis Vroom <vroomski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good conditions this morning for late August. 6 Radio Rossii long wave stations logged this morning, including the rare 171 station. China tentative on 1323 and China matching shortwave // on 1593. Australian stations popped in at dawn enhancement with 2NR believed to be the station heard on 738, no sign of regular Tahiti Radio Polynesie.  Strongest TP heard this morning was HLAZ 1566 with a good signal. To early to make a prediction, could this season rival the early 80's for DU reception?
