I hope that you can receive some Asians soon, Nigel (as you usually do). By contrast, theÂtotal lack of DU propagationÂhere has continuedÂfor 8 years. 
 
My own personal solution is to schedule a couple ofÂall-out DXpeditions to wild ocean cliff sites each summer, during which multiple exotic DU's (including a few which don't seem to show up anywhere else) can be received. This fanatical behaviorÂhas even attracted noted Perseus-SDR DXers.

Since southern Alberta didn't experience the Asian high yesterday, I 
didn't experience the drop either. Â Today here was slightly better than 
yesterday. ÂMore audio for sure, but most of it was of the 'just there' 
variety, other than Tahiti, which was rivalling the domestics on 740 at 
times. 

675ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂUNIDÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂHeard few words by a man just after 1300. 

738 ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂFRENCH POLYNESIA, Papeete 
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂNice clear signal at 1240 with French language vocal by a woman 

819ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂUNIDÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂBits of audio at 1251, but 820 splash seemed particularly 
strong today. 

882ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂUNIDÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂTraces of music at 1254, and back at 1306 with more music. 
Star from Auckland seems likely. 

963ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂUNIDÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂFaint traces of music at 1246 

1017 ÂStrong carrier, but no audio. Presumably Tonga leaving their 
carrier on after s/off. Â Speaking of which, years ago I logged them on 
late during a Rugby World Cup (rugby being a religion down there), and 
that event is on again, so it might be worth checking on the days when 
Tonga is playing. 
ÂÂ Â Â ÂI did hear a few words from a woman talking at 1303, but I think 
that was another station under the big carrier. 

1035ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂNEW ZEALAND, AucklandÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂNewstalk ZB 
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂPresumed with talk by two man at 1243 

1044ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂUNIDÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂTraces of audio at 1243 

1386ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂUNIDÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂFaint traces of music at 1356 

1503ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂUNIDÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂTraces of talk by a man at 1248 

ÂÂ Most years, by mid September, the Asians are beginning to 
predominate, and I'm sure that one of these days the Asians wil show up 
here, but so far this season I've had the opposite experience of Gary, 
will plenty of DU, but no Asia.
