Received a prepared card back from KION Program Director Mark Carbonaro in 23 days for report with SASE. I get the sense that stations seem to be more friendly to reception reports in the past few years.

A bit of a blip upwards this morning, with some high band activity and HLAZ hanging in until nearly 1700UT. NHK2 again off at 1440UT, with 774, 828 and 747 all showing audio

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

1566 HLAZ man in Russian 1645UT

Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):

the above passing through

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:

594 JOAK 1524UT

972 HLCA woman in Korean 1541UT

1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1544UT

Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)

567 JOIK //594 1523UT

1557 woman talking, Chinese intonation, likely Taiwan 1526UT

1593 CNR1 woman talking //6175 1528UT

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)

603 639 747 774 828 1242 1269 1323 1386 1422 1458 1494 1575 seemed to be Asian;
1017 seemed to be DU

Hi Les, Great to hear from you. I had been wondering about the DXers who
were active when I was. I saw Doug Smith W9WI in Dayton a couple of times.

And has anyone heard from Saul Chernos? He was active with the DX tests
also.
