That's a schedule change for HLAZ then, Patrick, as they've been Japanese from 
1230 to 1345UT for many years.  Will have to listen further for this.

Odd that you had only a few DUs, even after 1300UT; I would have thought we'd 
be hearing approximately the same part of the world at the same time.  Except 
for 972 carrier and 1566 low audio, and maybe a SAH on 774, I think virtually 
everything I heard around then was DU, but like I said mostly carriers, and the 
majority, weak ones.  Mind you, 45 minutes earlier, there were fewer carriers, 
and pretty much all looping towards Asia.

A thought also is that you have a water path to Asia, but it's a land path from 
here for the first several hundred kilometers up the spine of Vancouver Island, 
so not only do you hear all trans Pacifics better than I do, but I'll bet the 
Asiatics are better yet  Maybe they hang in longer for you than they do here.  

John Bryant isn't far from here as the crow flies, but he has a water path up 
Georgia Strait...Asians are much better there. 

best wishes,

Nick
