Colin, I didn't venture into the tropical bands, but agree that it was much worse than yesterday.  Severe attenuation of northerly signals.  Briefly the band opened just before 14:00 and peaked around 14:05.  Total of 10 audios as follows:

576 (prob 2RN), 612 (4QR with ABC Brisbane ID and weather at 14:05 and another ID at 14:06....a 7/10 signal), 747 (weak at around 13:15, presumed NHK2), 774 (also weak at 13:15, prob JJ, but faded up after 14:00 with English, presumed 3L0 and at 14:06 was stronger than 4QR), 801 (some audio at 14:01 presumed DU), 828 (strongest of the NHK2, but still only a 6), 846 (some audio at 13:46 but too weak to ID), 954 (some audio at 13:59 too weak to ID), 1134 (JJ or KK weakly at 13:58), 1242 (JOLF I think at 13:57).  Again 1566 was non-existent in audio (a 5), as was most of the upper band.  As I type this 4QR is still there in the mud at 14:16.  So a mostly DU morning briefly at the end of the dawn period, with a few weak stations otherwise earlier.  Poor!  ......Walt Salmaniw, Victoria
