Hi Walt,
Thanks for your comments on 972-HLCA, 1593-CNR1, the 1053-Jammer and 603 kHz.
Before this DX season started I wondered whether the declining solar
conditions would allow for much Asiatic TP-DXing excitement-- but it
seems like at least some of the Asiatics are pretty vibrant. The
memorable 603-Hulun Buir fade-in 3 days ago was something completely
unexpected in such an "off" season, as was 972-HLCA pegging the S/N
readout on the PL-380 this morning.
When the vibrant South Pacific DX signals on the Oregon cliffs this
summer are added into the picture, it certainly seems to me that
Medium Wave transoceanic DX is alive and well this year :-)
73, Gary

Gary, I agree that HLCA 972 is doing particularly well this season.
Last season's star had to be CNR-1 on 1593. This year, barely
anything there, although the upper band hasn't really been very good
lately. Personally, the jammer on 1053 is pretty close to what I
heard last year. Very consistent in it's strength. I'm still
struggling to get much out of 603. Nick is doing much better in this
regard, it seems.......73, Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC

PL-380's S/N
display at the 25 maximum around 1335 (for the first time ever). The newly
dominant 603-Hulun Buir again managed only fair audio (along with
738-Taiwan and
936-Anhui), but 1044-CRI's Japanese external service was at a steady
weak level
for most of the morning. The 1053-Korean Jammer continues to be unusually
vibrant almost every morning-- maybe after some kind of power boost,
or antenna
change?
