When conditions are changing, it often seems that is when unusual 
catches pop up.   So some of our "weak carriers" could well have been 
your interesting DX, John, but unless we're into "minimalist DXing", 
using accurate frequency measurement and direction finding on those 
carriers, we'll never know what we missed, hi.

It would be interesting to know if the signal strengths at sunrise 
were generally down on some of the more normal signals, even at your 
location.  (Other than Harbin on 837 (not normal here by the way) 
which you mentioned as huge).   Were the Korean on 891 or the Chinese 
on 1017, which I'd guess are normal for you, generally at the same 
level as other mornings, for example, or did they fade up for a 
shorter time and with less overall strength?

Certainly, the propagation monitor showed a suppressed  morning here, 
at least at sunrise, with only a short enhancement from generally low 
signal levels.

Nick
