Nice window to the Pacific Rim & Oceans this morning, Feb 26. Nothing
remarkable, but did hear stuff that I haven't heard a trace of in quite some
time; Guam, HCJB-Oz, NHK Japan & Taiwan. Signals from Thailand, Vietnam, the
various CRI, CNR & VOR sites from 7200-7300 were booming in too, though I
didn't bother to log any as I can usually hear these most days, even when
conditions are less than stellar. Unfortunately, 7295-Malaysia was a no-show,
as it has been here all winter.
