TP DX remains quite good here. The low end is still rather anemic, but
a couple of mid-band stations were coming in quite well. I was
surprised by yesterday's reports of decent low-band reception from Nick
and Gary, because I had nothing like that here.
For some odd reason, most signals peaked between 1410 and 1435 today.
Nonetheless, a few stations peaked at local sunrise an hour later.
Chinese were down compared to yesterday, but some Japanese improved,
with JOUF-1314 making a surprise appearance.
The two Nome stations were both impressive today, but the other Alaskans
were missing. I've posted a clip of KICY-850 blowing off KHHO Tacoma:

I recorded from 1255 to 1605 and here's what I found:
Good
780 KNOM, mixing w/KKOH "KNOM in Nome, it's 5 o'clock" 1400. Quite
good o/KKOH 1428 w/temp for Nome, then native man singing followed by
Fats Domino "My Blue Heaven"
850 KICY, 1400 legal ID by woman, then "Insight for Living" program,
way atop local KHHO
972 KBS, almost back to its normal strength today, but only for a
while. KK talk & pop songs 1409-1435
1566 HLAZ, lengthy talk by woman in Chinese 1406-1425, interrupted a
couple of times by music
Fair
774 JOUB, language lesson, man in JJ, woman in EE talking about
sports 1416
1044 CRI, doing unusually well today, IS/trumpets 1400, then JJ pgm,
best at 1414-1435
1287 JOHK, JJ man briefly fading up 1405 , otherwise not very good today
1314 JOUF, group of women laughing and having a good time 1419.
1422 JORF, pop music, group talking in JJ 1413
