Hi Nick,

It will be interesting to see what John Bryant mentions for 1566, as I
didn't even have a het, and Colin had barely a het on the frequency. 1575
was in audio here, though.

I didn't spot any DUs; all stations I tried to get a bearing on looped to
the NW. Hmm... OK, I guess I did have one DU, presumed Brisvaani on 1701.

I did note a number of the Asians had the best peak or audio from due West
(270 degrees). Skewed path propagation?

I didn't note multiple carriers, except on 1142.66 and 1143. From JB's
recent off-channel TP document, I see he once heard on off-channel station
on 1143 in August.

This morning's totals were 8 stations in audio, and 65 total TPs. A lot more
would have been in audio if it wasn't for the high levels of adjacent
channel signals that raise the noise floor! I see a 25 dB difference between
the noise floor on medium wave compared to the tropical bands here. Certain
segments of MW are better, though, with a lowered floor. My worst "dead
zone" is from 830 to 950 kHz, which includes the horrendous IBOC spread from
KHHO 850.

An odd morning, still quite good, but the low band Japanese big guns 
were down somewhat.  Still, some of the Koreans were up.  Great 
signal on 1566 at 1320UT; 972 and 855 had quite good audio, and 
unusual channels like 1269 were showing audio traces.  1575 was 
pretty good at times also.



best wishes,

Nick
