Nick and Walt,

better" is a phrase that stood out, presumably not referring to their two
listeners this morning in Victoria, BC, hi.   >>>

756-RNZ was unusually strong on the Oregon coast in August, making me wonder whether or not they have had some type of antenna upgrade.
During previous trips its signal would usually be mediocre in comparison to the 567 and 675 RNZ parallels, and buried in 750-Portland splatter. 

In August its signal was not only was very vibrant on most mornings, but at the "Rockwork" ocean cliff only 75 miles away from Portland (south of Cannon Beach), it could shut out 750-Portland splatter almost completely during peak sunrise enhancement. The signal boost seemed like more than just freakish NZ propagation.

Definite sunrise enhancement this morning with a mix of Australia and New
Zealand, most not particularly strong, but some odd ones there including another
apparent showing of R Waatea on 603.  As Walt observed NZ on 756 was quite
readable, the strongest I've heard them in several solar cycles I think!



pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
briefly):


612 4QR man talking DU EE 1408UT
756 RNZ National, man talking DU EE 1410UT, "two grown men who should have known
better" is a phrase that stood out, presumably not referring to their two
listeners this morning in Victoria, BC, hi.


reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


just the above, passing through



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be
understood by a native speaker:

819 RNZ National, man in DU EE //756 at 1414UT

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) :

603 presumed R. Waatea, with non-EE sounding man and woman at 1406UT (again,
first thought was Tagalog)
621 man talking 1413UT
702 2BL man talking //774 at 1418UT
738 2NR man and woman talking //774 at 1426UT
747 vocal mx 1424UT
774 presumed 3LO, man and woman talking at 1356; didn't catch this one if and
when it faded up to a better signal, as I was busy chasing small signals
864 woman talking 1412UT, maybe ZB?
891 frantic DU sounding talk 1419UT. Horse racing? 4TAB?
936 vocal mx 1423UT, will need to check recording as at the time it seemed
//747, but everything was pretty faint.






Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):

531 558 567 594 846 855  909  1098 1242 



best wishes,

Nick
