DXed from 1255 until 1340. It was a very interesting and "good"
morning, almost exclusively Asian until quite late; I had 35 audios,
with well over half being at language recognition (7) or above. The
strongest stations were 963 the CRI RR Service at a very solid 9 and
HLAZ-1566 running a close second. I really wonder if the Chinese
haven't doubled up on transmitters at that site, aded towers or
something. 963 have been one of the leading CCs for quite a long
time, but never so clearly dominant as this year, even out-shining
the Japanese Big Guns.
The very low band NHK1s were in again and 612 was a blast.... JOLK
most of the time until about 1328 and then 4QR in Brisbane, after
dawn. So, too, was 891, JOHK until dawn, then 5AN with ABC
News. Other interesting channels: 864 continues to be almost an open
carrier, often quite strong. It was in very weak probably KK this AM
(the North Korean, KCBS); 936 presumed Ahui was doing very well
briefly; 1017, caught the CRI KK service at TOH... wonderful fanfares
and then ID in Chinese. Unfortunately, I wasn't running the
recorder. Soon after 1300, I would swear that 1044 was in RR; it darn
sure wasn't Japanese, the scheduled CRI JJ Service dominant here on
1044. My guess is that CRI threw the wrong switch, since there seem
to be no Russian stations currently operating on 1044 in this
region. I tried to // with 963, but 1044 faded down too quickly. I
also heard CC on 1305 which might have been CNR2 or Shandung... was
an 8, but dropped too quickly to parallel.
So, the conditions have recovered.... not Great, but Good here on Orcas!
Hava nice Holiday!
