Your new location may be a haven for DU's, Walt. I checked my own
recording from that morning, and the best DU here was 1548...with a
good carrier! This on a westerly facing corner-fed loop. So that
body of salt water down the road from you may be helping.
On the other hand, although Asiatics were generally pretty poor here
by then, there was a nice boost around 1320UT above 1250 kHz on some channels:
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
briefly):
1287 JOHR at 1323UT, perfectly readable JJ by a woman
reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):
1566 HLAZ at 1324 with organ mx and male vocal
not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or
noise could be
understood by a native speaker
1323 CRI ?? sounded like RR talk by woman briefly fading up at
1320...Shuanghyashan presumably; Hutubi would be quite a catch
especially at this time of year. (it is grayline however; dream on!)
best wishes,
Nick

Good morning. Slept in a wee bit today, so didn't get to the dials until
13:19 UTC. Yesterday I erected a very modest Pennant antenna aimed 305
degrees, more or less across Japan. The results were very encouraging. It
seemed to have outperformed the W large diameter loop, as well as the N/S
oriented ALA 100 large diameter loop too. Unfortunately, it's strictly a
temporary affair as it can stay where it is for long. Also built a couple
of 16:1 matching transformers for them yesterday (the previous day I made a
couple of 9:1 by accident, but will be fine for Beverages). Conditions this
morning were decidedly DU. I listened between 13:19 and 13:33. SF was 119,
A 5, and K index was? couldn't hear that on WWVH). Moderate black outs
were reported, so DU seems appropriate. As always, "6" unless otherwise
noted. Interesting that only the lower half of the band had anything, save
for 1566 which was just at threshold.
612: 8 level Brisbane
675: DU at 7 level ?RNZ National, Christchurch?
702: 2BL Sydney at 7.5 level, //612
738: 7.5 level for RFO Tahiti
756
774: The only JJ station heard today at 8 level
792: 7 level 4RN Brisbane
819, 828
837: 7 level DU...either Australia or NZ
855, 332, 927, 936, 1566
73s until tomorrow! ........Walt
