You might be dealing with conditions, Dennis.  Historically, the top of the 
band can be pretty lively on  midwinter mornings compared with the low band 
sort of like that this morning).  Often, signals are fluttery and have deep 
fades, but can be pretty strong.   A few years back, Taiwan was heard at 
home several times on 1521 (using the indoor tuned loop), nothing 
equivalent on the low band at the time.

best wishes,

Nick
