About 0620 PST (1420 UTC) turned the Drake on and got my usual chorus of buzzes & whirrs etc. but in checking 774 found JOUB Akita with best signal in quite awhile. Woman talking (sounded like a travelogue) in English. Good solid audio. My QRN didn't allow much other audio except quite weak 657 North Korea playing some instrumental music. Oddly they were received better without the filters. Tried 828-good solid het on KNCO-830 but no audio found. Many, many other hets on low end of dial as well. 594 covered by weird loud noise. 747 had good het but KCBS-740 splattered muchly. Good hets on 702 & 711.
Tried JOUB again just before 1500 UTC but pretty much all gone by then as it was quite bright outside. As one can see the QRN takes a lot of the zest out of dxing here. Much prefer 'Master of Orion'.
