After reading Dennis' and Deane's loggings, yours and Colin's remarks gave me
some sense of relief.  

This was a work morning for me, with a couple of other things on the boil at the
old homestead, so DXing was limited to a few 5-minute checks.  Not long after
1300UT, there was some liveliness, but "brief peaks" as above, and lots of splash.
1400UT was duller, still with brief peaks, and 1430UT showed less splash, but
generally less signal as well. The NHK big guns were often in the mire, and
there wasn't much to replace them.  Yet, CNR-1 was noted fairly well on 945,
mixing with NHK-1 (when 594 deigned to show its nose).

My spectrum chart of average signal strength showed a marked decline even from a
couple of days ago, so I was worried about an antenna failure, but no, just a
propagation failure.

best wishes,

Nick
