Hi Nick,

<<<   Things were most active in the 1330 to 1345UT time 
frame, but some signals popped back in after 1345UT, including a rare 
Southern Star outlet.  (the new mysterious sound you hear might be 
Gary grinding his teeth, hi;  and if Walt was listening, he might 
have been cleaning up with his nearly seaside location)

Well, there was an early-morning antenna building session here, precluding any sunrise DXing. Nice job on the Kiwi receptions this morning, Nick, but I've long since resigned myself to the hopelessness of DU reception here. That's why I spend so much time on FSL antenna construction... to pay you back (with interest) on the Oregon Cliffs this summer :-)

73, Gary

Once again, conditions were unexpected (if one looked at geomagnetic 
and solar activity, past and present).   Some good JJ signals, and 
some not so good, but very welcome New Zealand signals as sunrise 
approached.   Things were most active in the 1330 to 1345UT time 
frame, but some signals popped back in after 1345UT, including a rare 
Southern Star outlet.  (the new mysterious sound you hear might be 
Gary grinding his teeth, hi;  and if Walt was listening, he might 
have been cleaning up with his nearly seaside location)

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

774 JOUB man in JJ 1327UT



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

JOIB man in JJ //774 1327UT; pretty consistent for about 15 minutes




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

738 Tahiti woman in FF 1328UT
594 JOAK woman and man in JJ 1329UT
1566 HLAZ man in JJ 1330UT


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) :


567 JOIK men JJ talking and laughing //594 1334UT,,,but faded to 
orchestral mx 1338UT which was
567 R. NZ National //756
693 JOAB man in JJ //747 in CBU splat,  1335UT
702 very weak instrumental mx 1331UT, not NHK2, maybe 2BL??
756 R. NZ National orchestral mx //567 1338UT
828 JOBB man in JJ //774 1331UT
891 JOHK man talking 1332UT //594
909 Southern Star slow female vocal mx 1340UT corresponded with 
webstream, and turned out about 35 seconds ahead of the stream
963 Southern Star male vocal 35 seconds ahead of webstream 1357UT; 
909 came up for a reprise about a minute later, though wasn't able to 
get them in //
1053 KK jammer 1332UT
1287 JOHR? man talking JJ inflection 1337UT


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

954 1008 1098


best wishes,

Nick
